2See Figure 4. Raise the side skirt assemblies for easier access. NOTE: Lift straight up on the middle of the side skirt assembly and engage
the catch (AE) to keep the skirt assembly raised while installing the brushes.
3Pull Lever (AF) outward to disengage the gas spring. This allows the right scrub brush assembly to be swung towards the rear of the
machine and provide easier access to the middle scrub brush.
4 To mount the brushes (or pad holders) align the lugs on the brush with the holes on the mounting plate and turn to lock in place according to
rotation directions shown in Figure 5.

FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
See Figure 6. Fill the solution tank with a maximum of 75 gallons (284 Liters) of cleaning solution. Do not fill the solution tank above 7.5 cm (3
inches) from the bottom of the Solution Fill (4). The solution should be a mixture of water and the proper cleaning chemical for the job. Always
follow the dilution instructions on the chemical container label. NOTE: EcoFlex machines can either be used conventionally with detergent mixed
in the tank or the detergent dispensing system can be used. When using the detergent dispensing do not mix detergent in the tank, plain water
should be used.
CAUTION!
Use only low-foaming, non-flammable liquid detergents intended for machine application. Water temperature should not exceed 130
degrees Fahrenheit (54.4 degrees Celsius).
FILLING THE DUSTGUARD™ SOLUTION TANK

OPERATING THE MACHINE
The CS7000 is a rider-type automatic floor sweeping and scrubbing machine. It is designed to sweep up debris, lay down cleaning solution, scrub
the floor, and vacuum dry all in one pass. The sweeping and scrubbing operations can also be performed separately.
The controls were designed with one touch operation in mind. For single pass scrubbing the user can simply depress one switch and all scrub
functions on the machine will be enabled. For sweeping, the operator can simply depress one switch and all sweeping functions will be enabled.
NOTE: Bold numbers or letters in parentheses indicate an item illustrated on pages 8-12.
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
1 Turn the key switch (A) clockwise to the RUN (ON) position. The glow plugs will activate for 10 seconds as indicated by the glow plug icon on
the display. If the engine is already warm, turn the key switch to the start position to crank the engine. If the engine is cold, wait for the glow
plug icon to turn off before cranking the engine. The engine should start immediately. If the engine does not start within 15 seconds release
the key, wait for approximately one minute and repeat the above steps.
2 Let the engine run at IDLE speed for five minutes before using the machine.
STARTING THE LPG ENGINE
1 Open the service valve on the LPG fuel tank.
2 Turn the Ignition Key Switch (A) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start after
cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute, then try again.
3 Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.
STARTING THE GASOLINE / PETROL ENGINE
1 Turn the Ignition Key Switch (A) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start after
cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute, then try again.
2 Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.
The Engine Speed (RPM) will automatically adjust depending upon load. Use the Drive Pedal (37) not the Engine Speed Switch (K) to
control the speed of the machine. The speed of the machine will increase as the pedal is pushed closer to the floor. Do not press the Drive Pedal
(37) until the engine has started.
SPEED SWITCH (K) ON ENGINE MODELS:
There are three engine speed settings that can be selected by the engine speed switch (K) on the control panel.
1 “Idle” (1700 RPM – Diesel) (1900 RPM – Gasoline / Petrol and LP). Use for warm up, cool down and transport. The engine speed switch
light will be off.
2 “Run” (2500 RPM – Gasoline / Petrol and LP) (2200 RPM - Diesel). Automatically adjusts to this RPM for sweeping only or vacuum only
operations. The engine speed light will be on.
3 “Maximum Power” (2700 RPM – Gasoline / Petrol and LP) (2400 RPM - Diesel). Automatically adjusts to this RPM for scrubbing only or
scrubbing and sweeping. The engine speed light will be on.
4 To select between Idle and Run press and release the engine speed switch.
5 To select the Maximum Power speed, first set the speed to Run. Then press and hold the engine speed switch for 2 seconds. To go back to
Run speed, press the switch again.
6 The CS7000 has an automatic idle feature that will reduce the engine speed to idle when the foot pedal (37) has been in the neutral position
for 20 seconds or more. The selected engine speed will automatically resume when the foot pedal is moved from neutral. If the engine speed
switch (K) is pressed while in idle-override, the automatic idle feature will be temporarily disabled until the next time the foot pedal is moved
from the neutral position. This can be useful during troubleshooting or if it is desired to let the machine run at full speed for warming up.
SPEED SWITCH (K) ON BATTERY MODELS:
While scrubbing the maximum speed is limited. To override the scrub speed limit press the Speed Switch (K), this enables scrubbing at
maximum transport speed.
