DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATORS
The battery condition indicators give a relative indication of the state of charge of the battery pack. A fully charged battery pack will measure above 37.6 volts
with no load applied (2.09 volts per cell). The AquaRide™SE / BRX 700 is equipped with a low voltage cutout feature that will turn the scrub system off when
the batteries are discharged to their minimum level. There are two different cutout levels to accommodate different battery types. See the service manual for
details. The voltage levels for the various indications are as follows (the voltages shown represent the voltage under load):
INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR STANDARD CUTOUT LEVEL (AS SHIPPED)
Green indicator = full charge down to 34.00 volts
Green & Yellow indicator 33.99 volts down to 33.00 volts
Yellow indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.00 volts
Yellow & Red indicator = 31.99 volts down to 31.50 volts
Red indicator = 31.49 volts down to 31.00 volts
Flashing Red indicator = less than 31.00 volts – scrub system will shut down.
INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR ALTERNATE CUTOUT LEVEL
Green indicator = full charge down to 34.50 volts
Green & Yellow indicator 34.49 volts down to 34.00 volts
Yellow indicator = 33.99 volts down to 33.50 volts
Yellow & Red indicator = 33.49 volts down to 33.00 volts
Red indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.5 volts
Flashing Red indicator = less than 32.5 volts – scrub system will shut down.
NOTE: Refer to service manual for selection of alternate cutout level.
NOTE: Once the low voltage cutout level has been reached (flashing red indicator) the batteries must be FULLY recharged (37.6 volts) to reset the battery
condition indicator. The scrub system will not function until the indicator has been reset.
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 inside the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited
by any electrical arc, spark or flame.

DETERGENT (AXP/EDS) SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE
COMMON INSTRUCTIONS:
The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent.
SERVICE NOTE: Move machine over floor drain before purging because a small amount
of detergent will be dispensed in the process.
To Purge When Changing Chemicals:
1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge.
2 Turn the Key Switch (J) ON. Press and hold the Purge Switch (T) down for at least 3
seconds, then press and hold the Solution Switch (R) (on the main machine’s control
panel) for the duration of the purge cycle. Holding the solution switch is necessary
to open the solution valve and prevent the purged detergent from flowing back into
the solution tank. NOTE: Once activated the Purge Indicator (U) will begin to scroll
a flashing light from left to right and will automatically shut off after 10 seconds.
Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.
To Purge Weekly:
1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge. Install and connect a Cartridge filled
with clean water.
2 Turn the Key Switch (J) ON. Press and hold the Purge Switch (T) down for at least 3
seconds, then press and hold the Solution Switch (R) (on the main machine’s control
panel) for the duration of the purge cycle. Holding the solution switch is necessary
to open the solution valve and prevent the purged detergent from flowing back into
the solution tank. NOTE: Once activated the Purge Indicator (U) will begin to scroll
a flashing light from left to right and will automatically shut off after 10 seconds.
Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.
The Detergent Box (AA) has a Detergent Level Viewing Slot (BB) for keeping track of
how much detergent is remaining in the cartridge. When the detergent level is nearing the
bottom of this slot it is time to refill or replace the cartridge.
General Use:
The detergent injection system is activated when the Key Switch (J) is turned on but no
detergent is dispensed until the scrub system is activated and the Drive Pedal (8) pushed
forward. The solution flow rate is determined by the use of “Maintenance” or “Restoration”
mode. The solution flow rate can be changed by pressing the Maintenance Extract Mode
Switch (D) for reduced flow or the Restoration Extract Mode Switch (F) for increased flow.
The detergent flow rate increases or decreases with the solution flow rate but the detergent
ratio remains the same. During scrubbing, the detergent system can be turned off at any
time by pressing the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (S) to allow scrubbing with water only.
SERVICE NOTE: Follow the “To Purge Weekly” instructions above if the machine is going
to be stored for an extended period of time or if you plan to discontinue use of the detergent
injection system.
DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove the Cap (CC) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break
Cap (DD) as shown.
NON-DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 1.25 gallons (4.73 Liters) of
detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Remove the detergent cartridge from the detergent
box prior to filling 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 to avoid mixing them up. The detergent
cartridge has a Magnetic Slider (EE) on one end that needs to be set to the proper
dilution ratio according to the dilution instructions on the manufacturer’s bottle.
Slide the Magnet Slider (EE) to the appropriate location on Detergent Dilution
Ratio Decal (FF). When installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (CC) and
place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (DD) as shown.

Description of Control Switches” section for a more detailed explanation of these and other control panel functions.
NOTE (AXP/EDS Models): The Detergent system is activated by default when the Key Switch (J) is turned ON (I). The Detergent ON/OFF Indicator
(V) is lit when the detergent system is activated. The Detergent system can be turned OFF by pressing the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (S). When the
system is activated detergent flows whenever solution flows.
5 When either the Maintenance Mode Switch (D) or the Restoration Mode Switch (F) is selected, the brush deck and vacuum shoes are automatically
lowered to the floor. The machine’s scrub brush rotation and solution system flow starts when the Drive Pedal (8) is activated. NOTE: When operating
the machine in reverse, solution will not be dispensed. The brush deck can be programmed to raise in reverse, have a qualified service technician refer
to the service manual to perform this function.
6 Begin cleaning by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Turn the
Solution Switch (R) OFF prior to turns to ensure complete extraction of solution from carpet. Adjust when necessary the machine speed according to
the condition of the carpet.
If there is little or no fluid entering the recovery bladder, the solution tank may be empty. Refill the solution tank with water and the proper ratio of
cleaning chemical.
7 The recovery bladder has an automatic float shut-off to prevent solution from entering the vacuum system when the recovery bladder is full. When the

BESCHREIBUNG DER BATTERIEANZEIGELEUCHTEN
Mit Hilfe der Batterie-Anzeigelampen lässt sich der Ladezustand der Batterien feststellen. Eine voll aufgeladene Batterie ohne angelegte Last hat eine
Klemmenspannung von 37,6 Volt (2,09 Volt pro Batteriezelle). Das Modell AquaRide™SE / BRX 700 ist mit einer Unterspannungsabschaltung ausgerüstet,
die das Scheuersystem abschaltet, wenn die Batterien voll entladen sind. Die Abschaltspannung kann je nach dem verwendeten Batterietyp in zwei Stufen
eingestellt werden. Details finden Sie im Servicehandbuch. Die Spannungsstufen für die verschiedenen Anzeigen sind (die angegebenen Spannungen
entsprechen der Spannung unter Last):
SPANNUNGSANZEIGESTUFEN FÜR DIE STANDARDABSCHALTUNG (EINSTELLUNG BEI AUSLIEFERUNG)
Grüne Anzeige = vollständig geladen bis 34,00 Volt
Grüne und gelbe Anzeige = 33,99 Volt bis 33,00 Volt
Gelbe Anzeige = 32,99 Volt bis 32,00 Volt
Gelbe und rote Anzeige = 31,99 Volt bis 31,50 Volt
Rote Anzeige = 31,49 Volt bis 31,00 Volt
Blinkende rote Anzeige = weniger als 31,00 Volt – das Scheuersystem wird abgeschaltet.
SPANNUNGSANZEIGESTUFEN FÜR DIE ALTERNATIVE ABSCHALTUNG
Grüne Anzeige = vollständig geladen bis 34,50 Volt
Grüne und gelbe Anzeige = 34,49 Volt bis 34,00 Volt
Gelbe Anzeige = 33,99 Volt bis 33,50 Volt
Gelbe und rote Anzeige = 33,49 Volt bis 33,00 Volt
Rote Anzeige = 32,99 Volt bis 32,5 Volt
Blinkende rote Anzeige = weniger als 32,5 Volt – das Scheuersystem wird abgeschaltet.
HINWEIS: Anweisungen zur Umschaltung auf die Alternativeinteilung finden Sie in der Wartungsanleitung.
HINWEIS: Sobald die untere Abschaltspannung erreicht ist (rote Anzeige blinkt), müssen die Batterien VOLL (bis auf 37,6 Volt) aufgeladen werden, sonst
wird die Batterie-Anzeige nicht zurückgesetzt. Das Scheuersystem funktioniert erst, wenn die Anzeige zurückgesetzt wurde.
EINBAU DER BATTERIEN
WARNHINWEIS!
Bei der Arbeit an Batterien ist äußerste Vorsicht geboten. Die Schwefelsäure in den Batterien kann bei Berührung der Haut oder
der Augen erhebliche Verletzungen verursachen. Explosiver, gasförmiger Wasserstoff wird aus dem Inneren der Batterien durch
Öffnungen in den Batteriekappen abgegeben. Dieses Gas kann sich durch einen elektrischen Lichtbogen, einen Funken oder
eine offene Flamme entzünden.
Treffen Sie vor bzw. bei der Arbeit an den Batterien folgende Sicherheitsvorkehrungen:
* Entfernen Sie jeglichen Schmuck.
* Rauchen Sie nicht.
* Tragen Sie Schutzbrillen, eine Gummischürze und Gummihandschuhe.
* Arbeiten Sie in einem gut belüfteten Bereich.
* Lassen Sie nicht zu, dass ein Werkzeug mehr als eine Batterieklemme berührt.
ACHTUNG!
An den elektrischen Komponenten dieser Maschine können erhebliche Schäden entstehen, wenn die Batterien nicht
ordnungsgemäß eingebaut und angeschlossen werden. Die Einbau der Batterien sollte von Nilfisk-Advance oder einem
qualifizierten Elektriker vorgenommen werden.
