INSTALL THE BATTERIES
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin
or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited by
any electrical arc, spark or flame. Do not install any lead-acid battery in a sealed container or enclosure. Hydrogen gas from
overcharging must be allowed to escape.
When Servicing Batteries...
*Remove all jewelry
*Do not smoke
*Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
*Work in a well-ventilated area
*Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
* ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable first when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
* ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly. Batteries
should be installed by Advance or by a qualified electrician.
1 Remove the batteries from their shipping crate and carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If damage is evident, contact the carrier that delivered
them or the battery manufacturer to file a damage claim.
2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) OFF and remove the key.
3 Remove the recovery tank from the machine. NOTE: Disconnect the tether and the vacuum motor wiring and lift the tank straight up and off the machine.
4 Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install six 6 volt batteries. Using at least (2) people and an appropriate lifting strap,
carefully lift the batteries into the battery compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in FIGURE 1. Secure the batteries as close to the front of the
machine as possible. If installing a mono-block battery use an overhead hoist.
5 Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.
6 Carefully tighten the nut in each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn. Do not over-tighten the terminals, or they will be very difficult to remove for
future service.

DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE (ECOFLEX MODELS ONLY)
COMMON INSTRUCTIONS:
Pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch (J) while the solution system is active will cause the detergent system to alternately turn on and off. The system
should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Move machine over floor drain before purging because a small
amount of detergent will be dispensed in the process.
To Purge When Changing Chemicals:
1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge.
2 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON. Press and hold the Solution Switch (F) and the Detergent Switch (J) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge
process takes 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.
To Purge Weekly:
1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge. Install and connect a Cartridge filled with clean water.
2 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON. Press and hold Solution Switch (F) and the Detergent Switch (J) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge
process takes 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.
Detergent Ratio:
1 The detergent ratio is locked at 1:400, except while overriding the EcoFlex cleaning mode. The pre-programmed ratio that is used during EcoFlex override
can be adjusted. With the detergent system OFF, press and hold the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (J) for 2 seconds. The detergent indicator will flash and
each press of the switch will cycle through the available ratios (1:32, 1:50, 1:64, 1:100, 1:128, 1:150, 1:200, 1:256, 1:300, 1:400). Once the desired ratio is
displayed on the screen (K9), stop and it will lock in after 5 seconds.
2 With EcoFlex in the OFF/disabled state (LED off) the detergent ratio is adjustable. With the detergent system OFF, press and hold the Detergent ON/OFF
Switch (J) for 2 seconds. The detergent indicator will flash and each press of the switch will cycle through the available ratios (see above). Once the desired
ratio is displayed on the screen (K9), stop and it will lock in after 5 seconds.
CARTRIDGE INSTRUCTIONS:
The Detergent Cartridge (29) is located behind the Side Access Panel (27). Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 2.2 gallons (8.32 Liters) of detergent.
SERVICE NOTE: Remove the detergent cartridge from the detergent box prior to filling to avoid spilling detergent on the machine.
It is recommended that a separate cartridge be used for each detergent you plan to use. The detergent cartridges have a white decal on them so you can write the
detergent name on each cartridge to avoid mixing them up. The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. When
installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (AA) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (BB) and detergent hose as shown.

OPERATING THE MACHINE
WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills. Clean only while
ascending (driving up) the ramp.
To Scrub...
Follow the instructions in “preparing the machine for use” section of this manual.
1 See Figure 8. While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (23) and (5).
2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights. Reference the Battery Condition Indicator (K5) and Hour Meter (K3) before
proceeding.
3 Release the Parking Brake (6). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal (8) to go forward or the
rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
4 Press the Solution Switch (F) and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the floor. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring of the floor surface when starting to scrub with dry
brushes. This must be done prior to pressing the Scrub ON Switch (D).
5 Press the Scrub ON Switch (D) once for Regular Scrub, twice for Heavy Scrub or three times for Extreme Scrub mode. Both the solution flow and detergent (EcoFlex
models) flow have 3 presets that coincide with the 3 scrub modes (see Control Panel).
NOTE: There is a solution flow rate override function if you wish to increase solution flow without increasing scrub pressure. Hold the Solution Switch (F) for
3 seconds (solution indicator will start flashing) and then let go. You then have 3 seconds to set a different flow rate by simply pressing the Solution Switch (F)
repeatedly until the Solution Flow Indicator (K1) shows the rate you desire (1-5 / see Control Panel). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the
solution flow rate to default.
NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum, detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON Switch
(D) is pressed. Any individual system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.
6 When the Scrub ON Switch (D) is selected, the brushes, squeegee and side brooms (cylindrical models) are automatically lowered to the floor. The scrub, solution,
vacuum, detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems all start when the Drive Pedal (8) is activated.
NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.
7 Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Adjust the machine
speed and solution flow when necessary according to the condition of the floor.
NOTE: The maximum scrub speed can be increased by pressing the Scrub Speed Switch (L). The normal max scrub speed is 80% of transport speed. Pressing this
switch increases it to 100% of transport speed.
If scrubbing on a smooth floor surface or double-scrubbing turning on the Traction Control™ button (B) regulates the drive wheel torque providing increased control
and enhanced traction on the floor.
The side broom height can be adjusted. See the “Side Broom Maintenance” section of this manual.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the floor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.
8 When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine, you may be
dispensing too much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.
9 The machine defaults to the EcoFlex cleaning mode (EcoFlex Switch Indicator is lit) conserving solution and detergent. Press the EcoFlex Switch (G) to override
the EcoFlex cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution flow and the detergent ratio. This will cause the indicator to flash for one minute,
solution flow rate will increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent ratio will increase to the pre-programmed ratio. The
pre-programmed ratio that is used during EcoFlex override can be adjusted. With the detergent system OFF, press and hold the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (J) for
2 seconds. The detergent indicator will flash and each press of the switch will cycle through the available ratios (1:32, 1:50, 1:64, 1:100, 1:128, 1:150, 1:200, 1:256,
1:300, 1:400). Once the desired ratio is displayed on the screen (K9), stop and it will lock in after 5 seconds.
NOTE: Pressing and holding the EcoFlex Switch (G) for 2 seconds disables the EcoFlex system. The only way to re-enable is to push the EcoFlex Switch (G) again.
Cycling the Key Switch (A) does not re-enable the system. The EcoFlex system will only function if the Scrub System (D) has been enabled.
10 For extremely dirty floors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “double-scrub” operation may be required. This operation is the same as a
one-pass scrubbing except on the first pass the squeegee is in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (I) to raise the squeegee). This allows the cleaning
solution to remain on the floor to work longer. The final pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.
11 The recovery tank has a shut-off float (15) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this float is activated, the
recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the float activated.
NOTE: All other indicators vanish and a “Recovery Tank FULL” Indicator (K7) appears on the Display Panel when the float is activated. If the control repeatedly gives
a full indication when the tank is not full, the automatic shut-off feature can be disabled, have a qualified service technician refer to the service manual to perform this
function.
12 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the Scrub OFF Switch (E) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes and
solution flow and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay (this is to allow any remaining
water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on).
13 Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (19) from its rear storage area, then
remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of waste water). Refill the solution tank and continue
scrubbing.
NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (1) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (19) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.
When the batteries require recharging the Battery LOW Indicator (K8) will come on, the scrub brushes and solution fl
ow will stop and the scrub deck will raise up. The
squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay. Transport the machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the
instructions in the Battery section of this manual.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Charge the batteries each time the machine is used or when the Battery Indicator (K5) is reading less than full.
To Charge the Batteries...
1 See Figure 10. Depress the Battery Disconnect (11).
2 Open Side Access Panel (27) and push the connector from the charger into the Battery Connector (20).
3 Follow the instructions on the battery charger.
4 After charging the batteries check the fluid level in all battery cells. Add distilled water, if necessary, to bring the fluid level up to the bottom of the filler tubes.
WARNING!
Do not fill the batteries before charging.
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke while servicing the batteries.
When Servicing Batteries...
*Remove all jewelry
*Do not smoke
*Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
*Work in a well-ventilated area
*Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
* ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable first when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
* ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to floor surfaces, wipe water and acid from the top of the batteries after charging.
CHECKING THE BATTERY WATER LEVEL
Check the water level of the batteries at least once a week.
After charging the batteries, remove
the vent caps and check the water
level in each battery cell. Use distilled
or demineralized water in a battery
filling dispenser (available at most auto
parts stores) to fill each cell to the level
indicator (or to 10 mm over the top of
the separators). DO NOT over-fill the
batteries!
CAUTION!
Acid can spill onto the floor if the
batteries are overfilled.
Tighten the vent caps. Wash the tops
of the batteries with a solution of baking
soda and water (2 tablespoons of baking
soda to 1 liter of water).
