MAGNETIC SMARTKEY
The use of a Magnetic SmartKey (39) is required to operate this machine. Pressing the power switch without a key in place on the SmartKey
Reader (22) will cause the machine to momentarily turn on and display No Key Indicator (C21) before turning off.
There are two different Magnetic SmartKeys (39).
1. The “User” (blue) key allows a basic level of access to the information menu (press Information Switch (B)).
2. The “Supervisor” (yellow) key allows an additional level of access to see Options Menu.
FIGURE 1-1
PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR USE
BATTERIES
If your machine shipped with batteries installed do the following:
• Check that the batteries are connected to the machine.
• Turn ON the Power Switch (H) and check the Battery Indicator (C3). If the gauge is completely lled the batteries are ready for use. If the
gauge is less than full the batteries should be charged before use. See “Charging The Batteries” section.
• IMPORTANT!: IF YOUR MACHINE HAS AN ONBOARD BATTERY CHARGER REFER TO THE OEM PRODUCT MANUAL FOR
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SETTING THE CHARGER FOR BATTERY TYPE.
If your machine shipped without batteries installed do the following:
• Consult your Authorized Advance dealer for recommended batteries.
• Install the batteries by following the instructions below.
• IMPORTANT!: IF YOUR MACHINE HAS AN ONBOARD BATTERY CHARGER REFER TO THE OEM PRODUCT MANUAL FOR
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SETTING THE CHARGER FOR BATTERY TYPE.
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 ame. 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 rst when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
• ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.

BATTERIES - CONTINUED
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly.
Batteries should be installed by Nilsk or by a qualied 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 le a damage claim.
2 Turn the Power Switch (H) OFF and remove the Magnetic SmartKey (39).
3 Rotate the Battery Compartment Latch (20) to unlock then tip the seat forward (the gas spring holds the seat open).
4 If installed remove the overhead guard.
5 For additional access the recovery tank can be removed from the machine. NOTE: Disconnect the recovery hose, vacuum motor wiring and
warning beacon wiring then lift the tank straight up and off the machine, using two people or an overhead hoist.
6 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 2-1. Secure the batteries
as close to the rear and right side of the machine as possible. Use battery spacer to keep batteries from moving. If installing a mono-block
battery use an overhead hoist.
7 Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.
IMPORTANT!: The protective caps supplied with the batteries need to be left on or re-used to completely cover the portion of the
battery terminals that are not being protected by the battery cable terminal cover boots supplied with the battery cables. This also
applies to the in-line fuse holder boot.
8 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 difcult
to remove for future service.
9 Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
10 Put one of the black rubber boots over each of the terminals and connect the Machine Battery Connector (19).
11 Make sure the fuse holder boot is covering the fuse holder, the cable end of the Machine Battery Connector (19), and as much of the battery
terminal as possible. Leave the protective caps supplied with the batteries in place or re-use to cover the terminal areas not protected by the
terminal cover boots.
When changing batteries or the charger, please contact your local authorized service center for correct battery, charger and machine
settings to prevent battery damage.

INSTALL THE BRUSHES (DISC SYSTEM)
CAUTION!
Turn the machine OFF at the power switch, before changing the brushes, and before opening any access panels.
1 Make sure the Scrub Deck is in the RAISED position. Make sure the Power Switch (H) is off.
2 See Figure 2-2. Remove both Side Blade Assemblies (AA). NOTE: The blade assemblies are held in place by two large Knobs (BB). Loosen these knobs
and slide the Blade Assemblies (AA) forward slightly and then off of the Scrub Deck.
3a To manually install the brushes:
Lift the Brushes (DD) (or pad holders) and align the lugs on the brush with the holes on the mounting plate then turn to lock in place (turn the outside edge of
brush towards the front of machine as shown by arrow (EE)).
3b To use the automatic Brush Install feature:
i. Press the Guide Bar (CC) forward while sliding the brush under the deck and stop when the brush is contacting both legs of the guide bar. Repeat this
step for the brush on the other side of the deck. NOTE: Do not push the rst brush out of position with the second brush.
ii. Turn the machine ON at the Power Switch (H). (SCRUB SYSTEM MUST BE OFF and MACHINE MOTIONLESS)
CAUTION!
Keep hands and feed out from underneath the deck. Take precautions to prevent hair, jewelry, or loose clothing from
becoming caught in moving parts.
iii. Press the Brush Install Switch (K) the display will show Brush Install Indicator (C18) then wait for the brush install sequence to nish.
4 Reinstall the side blade assemblies. NOTE: While scrubbing the brushes rotate as shown by arrows (FF).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USEA - ENGLISH
DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION (ECOFLEX MODELS ONLY)
FILL THE DETERGENT CARTRIDGE
CAUTION!
Always follow the instructions on the labels of the detergent cartridge when using oor cleaning detergents. Wear the appropriate
personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when handling oor cleaning detergents.
In the event of a detergent spill follow these four steps:
• Communicate the hazard. Immediately notify others working in the area and any supervisory personnel of the hazard, and if the
situation warrants it, evacuate the area.
• Control the spill. Ensure the spill does not become any worse.
• Contain the hazard.
• Clean up the spill and any damage safely.
The Detergent Cartridge (8) is located beneath the seat. Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 1 gallon (4 Liters) of detergent.
SERVICE NOTE: Remove the detergent cartridge from the machine prior to lling 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 for clarication. When installing a new cartridge, remove the Factory Cap (AA) and place the
cartridge in the machine. Install the Dry Break Cap (BB) and detergent hose as shown in Figure 2-7.
The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent (see “To Purge When Changing Detergent”).
