INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING

RECEIVING THE EQUIPMENT
• Inspect for obvious shipping damage or missing parts.
• Chassis – spreader rubber, manifolds,
and wheel condition.
• Parts – handle, hardware should be attached to
mounting studs.
• Any damage or missing parts must be reported to
Aztec Products within seven working days of
receiving the equipment.
LQ520 APPLICATIONS
Recommended surfaces:
• Vinyl and ceramic tile
• Sealed or finished concrete floors
• Wood, stone and terrazzo
TRANSPORT OF EQUIPMENT TO SITES
• The LQ520 should be transported with the front
swivel caster off the ground. This will prevent the
spreader rubber from being damaged.
• Never lift tank by gripping the lid retainer ring.
LQ520 SETUP
• Mount Handle — the hardware to mount the handle
will be on the four studs on the rear of the tank.
Remove a kep nut and one washer from each stud. A
spacer bushing and a washer should be left on the stud.
Mount handle, re-install washer then nut, and tighten.
LQ520 OPERATION
1) Filling Tank — While filling with water, add specified
amount of chemical as instructions direct. The tank
capacity is 35 gallons. DO NOT FILL BEYOND 1"
FROM LID OPENING.
2) Coverage Width — The left valve control lever on
the handle will dispense a 26" path in front of the
machine. The right valve control lever will dispense
an additional 26" path from the manifold on the right.
The right arm will spring back to accommodate
narrow areas.
3) Solution Coverage — The amount of solution
dispensed will be determined by how much you
squeeze the valve control levers and by how fast you
walk. A normal walking speed should be sufficient
for normal applications.
4) When completed, return right spreader manifold
to the transport position. You can tip the unit
back to lift the front spreader off the ground
during transport.
5) If the solution is not being spread evenly across
the floor, the tank may need to be re-filled. See
TROUBLESHOOTING.
CLEANING UP
1) Drain the tank — locate discharge valve at the front
of tank. Position for proper draining. Lift “T” handle
to regulate solution discharge. Tip machine forward
for complete drainage. Take care not to damage
manifold or spreader material when draining.
DANGER! — Solution will discharge in a
large steady stream with some pressure.
Wear protective eye wear and avoid skin
contact with all chemicals used in this tank.
2) Rinse tank and dispense clean water through
manifolds.
3) To tilt machine, rest the unit on the handle. This will
expose the undercarriage for cleaning.
4) Rinse wheels, chassis, and spreader rubber.
5) Drain excess water from unit by tipping forward and
squeezing valve control levers.
LQ520 STORAGE
• It is very important to drain all liquid from the unit if
it is to be stored or transported in freezing conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: SOLUTION KEEPS RUNNING.
Solution: Valve not closing properly.
See VALVE SERVICE.
Problem: NOT SPREADING SOLUTION EVENLY.
Solution: Check spreader material for tears.
Replace if necessary. Check valve ports
inside of tank for debris. Check
manifolds for even flow with valves wide
open. See MANIFOLD SERVICE.
Problem: LEAKS.
Solution: See REPAIRING LEAKS section.

SERVICE
VALVE SERVICE:
• Adjustment — Turning the adjusting nut on the valve
control lever located on the handle and locking with
the jam nut will determine how much solution is
dispensed on the floor. Normal operation will require
about 1/8" of play in the valve control lever.
• Re-Seating Valve — Remove cable from valve
control lever. Hold back conduit in one hand and
the cable in the other. Pull the cable out as far as
possible and let “SNAP” back. Repeat three times.
• Debris in Valve — Squeeze a valve control lever and
force water with a hose through that valve port inside
the tank.
MANIFOLD SERVICE:
• Cleaning Manifold — Remove both end caps and
clean out with hose. Replace end caps.
REPAIRING LEAKS:
1) Isolate leak.
• Fitting Leak — Remove fitting, clean and smooth the
surface and/or gasket. Apply silicon and re-install.
• Body Leak — Contact Aztec.
