MACHINE PREPARATION: UNPACKING
Note: Immediately check, when receiving the machine, that all the materials indicated on delivery documents have
been received and also that the machine has not been damaged in transit. If it has been damaged, this damage
must be immediately reported to the shipper and also to our customer’s service department. Only acting promptly in
this manner will make it possible to receive missing material and to be compensated for shipping damage.
INTRODUCTION This is an automatic scrubber which, via the mechanical action of the rotating brush and the
chemical action of a water/detergent solution, can clean many types of hard flooring. As it advances, it also collects
the dirt removed and the detergent solution used to clean the floor. The machine must be used only for this purpose.
Even the best machines will only work well if used correctly and kept in good working order. We therefore suggest
you read this instruction booklet carefully and re-read it whenever difficulties arise while using the machine. Please
contact our technical service department or your dealers if you have any questions about the machine.
1. Remove the outer packing from the machine’s shipping pallet. (Fig. 1)
2. Inspect the machine and contents for damage. Make a freight claim if machine is damaged.
3. Remove and place contents of the box away from the pallet.
a. Remove blocks from wheels,
b. Cut all banding straps from machine.
c. Remove squeegee blocks and squeegee
4. Raise the recovery tank and connect the red battery plug.
5. Tuck the Squeegee hose behind the water sight hose so it doesn’t get run over.
6. Fold down hinged ramp at back of machine. (Fig. 2)
7. Power the unit on with the key and raise the scrub head up to transport position.
8. Slowly reverse the machine backwards down the ramp. (Fig. 2)

If you are planning to transport the GeneSys scrubber, securing the machine(s) is key to keeping the machine(s) protected and
in good working condition. Below are some suggestions for how to efficiently and effectively secure the GeneSys™ scrubbers.
The GeneSys™ design lends itself to easy trailering and tying down – it only takes two straps strategically located.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE: TIE DOWN PROCEDURE
The GeneSys™ design lends
itself to easy trailering and tying
down – it only takes two straps
strategically located.
Solution tank creates easy
front tie down locations.
Scrub decks lift
to an 11-degree
“attack angle”
for easy ramping.
STEP 1
Before transporting up a trailer ramp - remove the squeegee assembly and
put it in an open, secure location on the trailer. If possible, wrap with a
shipping blanket.
STEP 2
Transport machine up the ramp into trailer and position it so that tie
downs can be used forward and rear of the machine and lower the scrub
deck (with pads on – especially the Orbital!)
STEP 3
Open the tank and route tie down straps across the front and rear of the
battery compartment as shown here. (Note the placement of micro-fiber
cloths or other material to protect the rotomold tanks from scratches).
STEP 4
For the front straps, route them to tie down locations forward of the
machine. For the rear straps, route them to tie down locations to the rear of
the machine. See below. Ratchet tie down until machine is secure.

BATTERIES
WARNING: Batteries emit hydrogen and oxygen gas - Keep
sparks and open flame away.
Do not smoke near the machine - Charge batteries in a well-
ventilated area with the battery compartment open.
WARNING: Do not wear jewelry when working near moving or
electrical components.
CAUTION: Always wear protective clothing, gloves and
goggles when handling and charging batteries.
BATTERY CONNECTION
The machine will be supplied with an onboard battery charger and
either four 6 V Wet or AGM batteries. The batteries must be housed
in the battery compartment beneath the recovery tank. To connect
the battery pack, you simply connect the two red Anderson plugs
located on the right side of the back-control panel.
BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT
1. Lower the squeegee and brush deck.
2. Open the recovery tank as far as it will go, using the side
handle.
3. Place the four 6-volt batteries into the battery compartment as
shown below.
4. Wire the batteries with battery jumpers. Torque 95-105 in/lb.
(11-12 Nm) Thread: 5/16”
5. Use a 9/16” socket and ratchet to tighten the nuts to the battery
terminals.
WARNING: Perform one battery charging cycle before using the
machine.
The batteries are positioned in the machine as shown for ease of wiring
the batteries in series. When replacing batteries make sure to position the
batteries in the same configuration.
LEAD ACID, WET BATTERIES ONLY
Wet batteries need water.
More importantly, watering must be done at the right time and
in the right amount or the battery’s performance and longevity
suffers.
Water should always be added after fully charging the battery.
Prior to charging, there should be enough water to cover the
plates. If the battery has been diskharged (partially or fully), the
water level should also be above the plates. Keeping the water at
the correct level after a full charge will prevent having to worry
about the water level at a different state of charge.
Depending on the local climate, charging methods, application,
etc., Betco recommends that batteries be checked no less than
once a month until you get a feel for how often your batteries need
watering.
Important Things to Remember
1. Do not let the plates get exposed to air. This will damage
(corrode) the plates.
2. Do not fill the water level in the filling well to the cap. This most
likely will cause the battery to overflow acid, consequently
losing capacity and causing a corrosive spill.
3. Do not use water with a high mineral content. Use distilled or
deionized water only.
CAUTION: The electrolyte is a solution of acid and water so
skin contact should be avoided.

GENERAL WATERING INSTRUCTIONS
• Add water, never acid, to cells (distilled water recommended).
• DO NOT OVER WATER.
• For fully charged standard deep-cycle batteries, add water
to the level of 1/8 below bottom of vent well (see diagram A
below).
• For fully charged Plus Series batteries, add water to the
maximum water level indicator (see diagram B below).
• If the batteries are diskharged, only add water if the plates
are exposed. Add just enough water to cover the plates, then
charge the batteries. Once fully charged, add water to the
proper level indicated above.
• After watering, secure vent caps on batteries.
The wet battery protection system tells the operator when to water
the batteries. This system has a sensor that’s inserted into the
machine’s batteries with a light to tell the operator when to fill the
batteries. The scrubbing functions will be disabled until watering is
completed. See below watering instructions with watering system.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm,
and during charging, strong inorganic acid mists containing
sulfuric acid are evolved, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer.
WATERING THE BATTERIES
1. Use distilled water for filling the
batteries. Place the distilled water
jug below the top of the batteries to
prevent siphoning. Insert the open
end of the bulb pump into the jug of
distilled water and prime the pump
bulb by squeezing it until it is filled
with water.
2. Attach the other end of the hose to the
quick connect already on the batteries.
3. Squeeze the bulb to pump water
into the battery cells. When the bulb
becomes firm, all cells are full.
Note: Battery packs equipped with Fortify™ Wet Battery
Protection may use more distilled water than expected to
make the light turn off. Compress the bulb pump until is no
longer compresses. Not doing so may result in uneven filling
and premature battery failure.
4. Immediately disconnect the couplers
and replace the cap.
Note: Do not leave the pump and hose
connected to the batteries after filling
is complete.
DIAGRAM A DIAGRAM B
Add water to 0.125" below bottom
of the vent well.
Add water to the maximum water
level indicator.
MAINTAINING THE BATTERIES
Batteries can attract dust, dirt, and grime. Keeping them clean will
help spot signs of trouble when they appear and avoid problems
associated with grime.
1. Check that all vent caps are tightly in place.
2. Clean the battery top with a cloth or brush and a solution of
baking soda and water.
• When cleaning, do not allow any cleaning solution or other
foreign matter to get inside the battery.
3. Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
4. Clean battery terminals and the inside of cable clamps using a
post and clamp cleaner.
• Clean terminals will have a bright metallic shine.
5. Reconnect the clamps to the terminals and thinly coat them
with an anti-corrosive spray or silicone gel.
6. Keep the area around batteries clean and dry.

SOLICHEM™SOLUTION DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Solid on-board chemical delivery technology removes
the need to pour chemical into the solution tank. Water
dissolves the SoliChem™ solid and adds the cleaning
chemical directly onto the floor wetting system. The
SoliChem System also alerts the operator of low SoliChem
solid with an LED light.
NOTE: Do not use pure acids in this machine.
FILLING SOLUTION THE TANK
1. Add water to the solution tank from the front or rear
fill locations. Do not use water exceeding 120° F
(48.9°Celcius)

back of the machine to determine when the machine is
full.
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
1. Remove the SoliChem™ solid from the solution system.
This can be done by lifting the recovery tank and cap
from the SoliChem canister. (See Below)
2. Turn off Solichem Technology.
3. Pour in properly diluted chemical into the front fill port.

13
SOLUTION FLOW
The solution control knob is located on the lower control panel left of the key.
This controls the water pump and is only active when the scrub head is in
an operating position. This knob adjusts water flow rate. For Touch Encoder
machines, adjusting flow rate is found in the settings.
FILTER INSPECTION AND CLEANING
NOTE: If there is excessive debris found in the screen and bowl then drain
and flush the solution tank.
1. Close the shutoff valve for the solution tank. The screen and bowl are under
the frame between the transaxle and casters on the left side of the machine.
2. Unscrew and remove the filter bowl and screen to clean and remove debris.

14
HEAD LIFT
1. The head lift is controlled by a lineal actuator which raises and lowers the
scrub deck.

ORBITAL PADS AND ORBITAL FINISH REMOVAL
STANDARD CLEANING OPERATIONS
NOTE: Do NOT lower the Orbital Scrub Head without a pad attached. This will
damage the scrub head.
1. Attach the pad ½” in front of the scrub head and align the front corners and
sides. Press the pad into position once the pad is aligned (the ½” forwarding
will help in pad wetting).
2. Lower the scrub deck onto the floor once the pad is aligned.
3. Check to make sure the pad is aligned on all four sides.
ORBITAL FINISH REMOVAL PAD SETUP
This application utilizes a two-pad setup. A red or white pad acts as a “backer pad” that helps compensate for flaws and
variances in the floor. The maroon pad is for surface preparation.
1. Attach the red pad to the orbital pad drive plate as shown above.
2. Place the pad on the floor and position it so that when the scrub deck is lowered, the red and maroon pad aligned and
stacked.
MACHINE SETUP FOR ORBITAL FINISH REMOVAL
1. Install the pad assembly as described above.
2. Fill the solution tank with clean water.
3. The down pressure should be on medium or high pressure; depending on condition or hardness of the finish being removed.
4. The solution flow rate should be set to a low flow rate (approximately 25% of full flow rate) for this operation to maximize
finish removal, to rinse, clean the floor and pad.
5. Forward speed should be set to 25% to 50% of normal speed to ensure maximum finish removal ; approximately 50-100
feet per minute.
