HOPPER SAFETY SUPPORT
WARNING!
Make sure the Hopper Safety Support (HH) is in place whenever attempting to do any maintenance work under or near the raised
hopper. The Hopper Safety Support (HH) holds the hopper in the raised position to allow work to be performed under the hopper.
NEVER rely on the machine’s hydraulic components to safely support the hopper.
JACKING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.
• When jacking the machine, do so at designated locations (Do Not jack on the hopper) - see jacking locations (11)
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that . . .
•All access doors are latched securely.
• The machine is tied down securely - see tie-down locations (4).
•The machine parking brake is set.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
See Figure 1 & 2. The battery required for this machine is sold separately. The maximum battery weight for this machine is 1,875 lbs (850 kg); the minimum
battery weight is 1,400 lbs (635kg). For proper battery installation, please consult your Nilfisk-Advance Industrial Dealer. DO NOT attempt to install the bat-
tery with an overhead hoist or forklift; it can only be installed with a battery cart. Connect the connector plug (A) on the battery to the machine plug behind the
steering wheel. Make sure the battery is firmly seated against the End Brace (B) on the driver’s side of the battery compartment. Reinstall the battery Stop
Plate (C) on the left side of the compartment and snug up the Bumpers (D) so the battery cannot slide from side-to-side. NOTE: The Battery Disconnect Tab
(E) has to be assembled to the Battery Connector Plug (A) on the battery.
WARNING!
Battery weight in excess of 1,875 lbs (850 kg) or below 1,400 lbs (635kg) may cause the premature failure of parts including
the tires, and may result in decreased stability and control, which could cause personal injury or death and/or property damage.
Use of a battery in excess of the weight limit will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT!
Followinstructionspackedwiththebatteryandchargerbeforechargingthebattery. ReadtheinstructionsforChargingtheBattery
in the Maintenance section of this manual.

GSpeed Select Switch –Thisswitch willallowthe operatortoselect thetransportspeed limitwhilethe scrubsystemis enabledtherebyallowing scrubbing
at a higher rate of speed. This option can be disabled if desired. See the programming section for details.
The transport and scrub speed limits can be programmed using a Curtis handheld programmer. Refer to the service manual for details
*Speed Select Switch Indicator: This indicator will be green if a scrub mode has been selected and the faster scrub speed has been selected. This
indicator will be off if the Speed Select Switch has been turned OFF.
SCRUB SYSTEM
HScrub Pressure Decrease Switch – If the scrub system is off, pressing this switch will cause the following to occur:
• The scrub system will be enabled with the scrub pressure set to the lightest setting and the scrub deck will be lowered
• The vacuum system will be enabled and the squeegee will be lowered
• The solution system will be enabled
• As soon as the drive pedal is moved from the neutral position the scrub brushes will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction is forward
the solution flow will start. If the direction is reverse, the squeegee will raise and the solution flow will be stopped. The scrub brushes will turn off after an
adjustable delay once the drive pedal returns to neutral. See the service manual for details.
If the scrub system is already enabled when this switch is pressed and the scrub pressure is at 2 or 3, the scrub pressure will decrease. If the switch is
held, the pressure will decrement until the minimum setting of 1 is reached.
*Scrub Pressure Decrease Indicator: The scrub pressure decrease indicator will be lit if the scrub system is enabled and the pressure is set at 1 or 2.
The indicator will be off if the scrub system is off or if the scrub pressure is set to 3.
IScrub Pressure Increase Switch – If the scrub system is off, pressing this switch will cause the following to occur:
• The scrub system will be enabled with the scrub pressure set to the lightest setting and the scrub deck will be lowered
• The vacuum system will be enabled and the squeegee will be lowered
• The solution system will be enabled
• As soon as the throttle is moved from the neutral position the scrub brushes will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction is forward the
solution flow will start. If the direction is reverse, the squeegee will raise and the solution flow will be stopped. The scrub brushes will turn off after an
adjustable delay once the drive pedal returns to neutral. See the service manual for details.
If the scrub system is already enabled when this switch is pressed and the scrub pressure is at 1 or 2, the scrub pressure will increase. If the switch is
held, the pressure will increment until the maximum setting of 3 is reached.
*Scrub Pressure Increase Indicator: The scrub pressure increase indicator will be lit if the scrub system is on and the pressure is set at 2 or 3. The
indicator will be off if the scrub system is off or if the scrub pressure is set to 1.
J Scrub Pressure Display:
