DUMPING HOPPER
The removable hopper is located behind the rear scrub brush. If the hopper becomes full, it will not accept any more debris. Loosen knob on left side squeegee and swing open. Remove the hopper by sliding it out from the operator’s left side of the machine. The hopper can then be dumped from the top. Flush the hopper clean with running water.
ADJUSTMENT OF INDIVIDUAL BRUSHES
The brush pattern is adjusted from the motor side only of both brushes.
1.Determine if motor end is to be moved up or down to balance the pattern.
2.Loosen the 3 allen head screws on the end of the housing.
SCRUB DECK ADJUSTMENT
Scrub deck adjustment consists of two types of adjustments. The first is to insure the individual brushes make the same width pattern end to end. Any tapered brush pattern should be adjusted out. The second is to make the pattern of equal width between front and rear brushes. Unequal patterns are caused by the scrub deck not being parallel to the floor. Proper adjustment is obtained when the contact patterns of the brushes on the floor show two 1” rectangles the width of the brushes. The rectangles should be parallel to each other.
TESTING, ADJUSTMENT OF INDIVIDUAL BRUSHES
1.Move the machine to an unfinished area of floor to avoid marking finish.
2.With water valve off, lower scrub head to floor. Allow brushes to run until automatic shut off occurs. It may be necessary to repeat this step in the same location until a good mark can be seen on the floor. This can be accomplished by touching lightly the throttle pedal to restart the scrub deck without moving the machine.
3.Raise the scrub deck and note the brush patterns on the floor. There should be two rectangles with parallel sides. If the pattern is tapered, proceed as follows.
3.Loosen the jam nut on the jack screw and rotate the jack screw to move the motor assembly up or down as needed.
4.Tighten the 3 allen head screws.
5.Tighten the jam nut on the jack screw.
6.
LEVELING THE SCRUB HEAD
Leveling the cylindrical head is accomplished by adjusting the lower links that attach the deck to the frame. To increase pattern width on rear brush, loosen lock nuts and shorten the lower links by screwing the rod into the threaded ends. To increase pattern width on front brush, lengthen the lower links by screwing the rod out of the threaded ends. After adjustment, be sure to tighten lock nuts.
