BOTTOM VIEW OF HYDROSTATIC PUMP
GENERAL INFORMATION
revised 7/08
The machine’s drive propelling pump is manufactured with a selectable
tow valve. This valve prevents damage to the hydraulic system when
the machine is being towed/pushed short distances without use of the
engine.
To access the valve, open the Engine Compartment Door (22) and lift off
the Right Engine Compartment Access Panel (37). Locate the valve as
shown on the underside of the hydrostatic pump by reaching under the
radiator. Turn the valve 90 degrees, this disengages the hydrostatic lock
between the motor and pump.
The hydrostatic pump can be damaged if the machine is towed with
the valve in the normal working position (A). Reference the illustration
below for the normal working setting (A) and the free wheeling towing
setting (B). Note: If the tow valve is left in free wheeling (B) position the
hydrostatic pump can’t drive the machine FWD or REV. No damage will
result, just re-set valve to the normal working setting (A). Tow or push
machine no faster than a normal walking pace (2-3 miles per hour) and
for short distances only. If the machine is to be moved long distances
the drive wheel needs to be raised off the oor and placed on a suitable
transport dolly.

ENGINE AIR FILTER
The engine Air Filter (8) is located in the engine compartment. Check the air mechanical vacuum lter Service Indicator (46) before each use
of the machine. Do not service the air lter unless the indicator is lit (red).
CAUTION!
When servicing the engine air lter elements, use extreme caution to prevent dust and dirt from entering the engine.
The engine air lter contains a primary (outer) and a safety (inner) lter element. The primary element may be cleaned twice before being
replaced. Replace the safety element every third time that the primary element is serviced. Never try to clean the safety element. To clean
the primary lter element, remove the cover from the dust cup end of the canister and pull out the primary element. Clean the element with
compressed air (maximum pressure 100 PSI) or wash it with water (maximum pressure 40 PSI). Do not put the element back into the canister
until it is completely dry.
Special Service Note: Inspect the complete air intake system for proper routing (kinks & restrictions) and sound tight connections. The
mechanic should run their hand around the air intake hoses to check for any cracks and holes that will allow non-ltered air to enter the
engine that will severely shorten the engine’s useful life.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE (150 HOURS)
At 150 hour intervals it is recommended that the following service be performed: Change oil and lter, clean and inspect spark plugs, check all
engine belts condition and adjustment, check battery charge and level, check cooling system hoses and clamps and check general condition
and performance of engine.
Note: Reference the separately supplied PSI GM Power Train Products Operation and Maintenance manual for more detailed service data.
PSI manual number is 3610000.
SPECIAL LIQUID PROPANE FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE ON THE GM 1.6L ENGINE
Every 150 hours inspect and drain any oil build up from the LP fuel system electronic pressure regulator (EPR). During the course of normal
operation oils or “heavy ends” may build inside the chambers of the propane regulator. These oils and heavy ends may be a result of poor fuel
quality, contamination of the fuel supply chain, or regional variation in the make up of the fuel. If the build up of the oil is signicant this can
affect the function of the fuel control system. Note: Reference the Tier 2 PSI 1.6l PFI certied engine service manual form # PSI1P6LPFI-A, and
follow the procedure to drain the EPR regulator.
HYDRAULIC OIL
WARNING!
FIGURE 1
To avoid hydraulic oil injection or injury, always wear appropriate clothing and eye protection when
working with or near hydraulic system.
Check the Hydraulic Oil Level. Remove the Right Engine Access Panel (37) and look at the gauge
on the side of the reservoir. If the oil level is below the minimum level, add 10W30 motor oil until the
gauge is 3/4 full. Do not ll above maximum. Change the oil if major contamination from a mechanical
failure occurs. SERVICE NOTE: Remove the small access panel (49) directly above the reservoir to
add oil. This panel is held on by (2) wing nuts on the underside of the panel. Only ltered oil should
be added.
IMPORTANT!
This machine is equipped with an indicator light which lights if the “In Tank” oil lter requires
changing. Remove lter element from the lter cup and replace with new lter. Hydraulic lter is
found on top of the Hydraulic Reservoir (36).
Change the Hydraulic “Charge” Oil Filter (35).
Note: Oil should be warm, cold oil is thicker and may cause the light to come on intermittently until it
warms up.

IMPORTANT SERVICE TIP
Before any troubleshooting is done perform this troubleshooting special control system procedure.
CONTROL SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE
If problems with the electronic control system are suspected, this self-diagnostic mode may help isolate the problem. When this mode is
activated, the control unit will activate each one of the outputs in sequence and test for short circuits, open circuits, or overload conditions.
This mode will also provide an easy test for the touch panel switches and indicators.
If an abnormal condition is encountered with one of the outputs, an error code will be displayed on the Display (J) see Figure 2.
1 During this test, the horn will sound briey and the scrub deck and squeegee will move if they are in the up position. If the hopper is not in
the down position it will also move slightly.
CAUTION!
Make sure that all persons are away from these parts of the machine to prevent injury.
2Turn the main power key switch to the off position.
3Press and hold the side broom down/on switch.
4 While holding the side broom down/on switch, turn the main power key switch to the on position.
5 Continue to hold the side broom down/on switch until all indicators except the side broom down/on indicator turn off (approximately two
seconds).
6Release the side broom down/on switch.
7The control will now activate each output in sequence and perform the tests mentioned above.
8 If no abnormal conditions are detected, the display will now show “-”. Go to step 10.
9 If abnormal output conditions were detected, the display will now show the error code(s), see “Main Control Error Code Display Descriptions
Table”. An example of how two codes, 6 and 18, would be displayed is as follows:
• The display will show “E” followed by a brief blank period
• The display will show “0” followed by a brief blank period
• The display will show “6” followed by a slightly longer blank period
• The display will show “E” followed by a brief blank period
• The display will show “1” followed by a brief blank period
• The display will show “8” followed by a long blank period
• The above sequence will repeat
10 To test any of the control panel switches, press the desired switch. The indicator for that switch should illuminate. If not, consult the service
manual general machine troubleshooting section which will show machine system ow charts.
11 The hopper limit, main broom, recovery tank full, and solution tank empty switches may also be tested in this mode. The corresponding
indicators will indicate the state of each of the inputs.
12 To exit this mode, turn the main power key switch to the off position.
NOTE: If the machine is not equipped with an optional back-up alarm, an error code 20 will be indicated.
