DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE (ECOFLEX MODELS ONLY)
COMMON INSTRUCTIONS:
Pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch (E) while the solution system is active will cause the detergent system to alternately turn on and off.
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 (A) ON. Press and hold the Solution Switch (C) and the Detergent Switch (E) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once
activated the purge process takes 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. 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 (A) ON. Press and hold the Solution Switch (C) and the Detergent Switch (E) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once
activated the purge process takes 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is
adequate to purge the system.
When the Detergent Cartridge is almost empty a Display Panel (F) indicator will come on. This “Low Detergent” indicator will remain on until you
reset the system. Once this indicator comes on you should be able to simply pour an entire gallon bottle of detergent into the Cartridge to refill
without worrying about measuring. NOTE: Only reset the system when the cartridge is full. When switching cartridges, the “Low Detergent”
indicator is only accurate if the replacement cartridge is at the same level as the cartridge being replaced.
To Reset:
1 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON. Press and hold together the Solution Increase Switch (B) and the Solution Decrease Switch (D) down for 3
seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators.
Detergent Percentage:
1 The detergent percentage default is 0.25%. To change the percentage, the detergent system must be OFF, then press and hold the
Detergent ON/OFF Switch (E) for 2 seconds. The detergent indicator will flash and each press of the switch will cycle through the available
percentages (3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.8%, 0.66%, 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3%., 0.25%). Once the desired percentage is displayed on the screen (F5),
stop and it will lock in after 5 seconds.
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. When installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (AA) and place the
cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (BB) as shown.

WET SCRUBBING
WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions. While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded.
Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills. Clean only while ascending (driving up) the ramp.
To Scrub…
1 Follow the instructions in the Preparing The Machine For Use section of this manual.
2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights, reference the Battery Condition Indicator (F6) and Hour Meter (F1) before proceeding.
3 To transport the machine to the work area, push the Drive Paddle (29) forward to go forward or pull the Drive Paddle (29) backward to move the machine in reverse. Vary the
pressure on the Drive Paddle (29) to obtain the desired speed.
NOTE: Speed Control Knob (30) is used to control the maximum speed in either forward or reverse.
4 Press and hold the Solution Switch (C) for 5 seconds to pre-wet the floor. NOTE: This must be done prior to pressing the Scrub ON/OFF Switch (H).
5 Press the Scrub ON/OFF Switch (H), the scrub pressure will default to Normal (one scrub pressure indicator lit). Use the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (G) and Scrub
Pressure Decrease Switch (I) to change between Regular and Heavy Scrub modes. Only one pressure sensing is available for cylindrical machines.The solution flow rate will
automatically adjust to coincide with the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The solution flow rate can be changed independently of the scrub pressure by pressing the Solution Increase Switch (B) or Solution Decrease Switch (D). Any
subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution flow rate to correspond with the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON/OFF Switch (H) is pressed. Any individual system
can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing. No further action is required other than lowering the squeegee (12).
6 Lower the squeegee with the Squeegee Raise / Lower Lever (14).
7 When the Drive Paddle (29) is in the neutral position, the scrub, vacuum, solution and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are activated but not running. Grip the Operator
Control Handle (2) and push the Drive Paddle (29) forward to start the scrub, vacuum, solution and detergent (EcoFlex models), and to move the machine forward. For best
results, move the machine at a slow walking speed. Press the Solution Switch (C) once to turn OFF while making sharp turns. Pull the Drive Paddle (29) backward to move the
machine in reverse. The brushes will run while moving the machine in reverse, but solution and chemical will not be dispensed.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the floor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.
8 When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine, you may be dispensing too
much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.
9 The machine defaults to the EcoFlex cleaning mode (EcoFlex Switch Indicator is lit GREEN) conserving solution and detergent. Press the EcoFlex Switch (J) to override the
EcoFlex cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution flow and the detergent percentage. This will cause the indicator to flash (YELLOW) for one minute,
solution flow rate will increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent percentage will increase to the next larger percentage.
NOTE: Pressing and holding the EcoFlex Switch (J) for 2 seconds disables the EcoFlex system. The only way to re-enable is to push the EcoFlex Switch (J) again. Cycling the
Key Switch (A) does not re-enable the system. The EcoFlex system will only function if the Scrub System (H) has been enabled.
10 For extremely dirty floors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “double-scrub” operation may be required. This operation is the same as a one-pass
scrubbing except on the first pass the squeegee is in the up position. This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the floor to work longer. The final pass is made over the
same area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.
11 The recovery tank has a shut-off float (4) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this float is activated, the recovery
tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the float activated.
NOTE: All other indicators vanish and a “Recovery Tank FULL” Indicator (F7) turns on in the Display Panel when the switch is activated on “EcoFlex” models.
12 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full;
Press the Scrub ON/OFF Switch (H) once. This will automatically stop the scrub motors and the solution flow and the deck will raise to its upper limit. NOTE: The vacuum will
stop after a 10 second delay. This is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on.
Raise the squeegee with the Squeegee Raise / Lower Lever13 (14). and drive the machine to a designated wastewater “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty,
pull the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (24) from its hanger and open the cap (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of waste
water). The Recovery Tank Drain Hose (24) can be squeezed to regulate the flow. Refill the solution tank and continue scrubbing.
NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Lid (6) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (24) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly. When
the batteries require recharging the Battery LOW Indicator (F8) will come on (EcoFlex models) and the vacuum motor will shut off after 30 seconds. Transport the
machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the Battery section of this manual.
WET VACUUMING
Fit the machine with optional attachments for wet vacuuming.
1 Disconnect the Recovery Hose (16) from the Squeegee (12).
2 Attach suitable wet pick-up tools to the hose (Available from Advance).
3 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON.
4 Press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (L) (EcoFlex models) once to turn ON the vacuum motor.
The vacuum motor will run continuously until the switch is pressed again to turn it OFF.
NOTE: The “Recovery Tank FULL” indicator is disabled when the wand mode is activated.
The float will stop the flow into the recovery tank.

*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 first when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
* ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
CAUTION!
Your voltage regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery will deliver superior performance and life ONLY IF IT RECHARGED PROPERLY! Under or
overcharging will shorten battery life and limit performance. Be sure to FOLLOW PROPER CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS! DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO OPEN THIS BATTERY! If a VRLA battery is opened, it loses its pressure and the plates become oxygen contaminated. THE WARRANTY
WILL BE VOIDED IF THE BATTERY IS OPENED.
If your machine shipped with an onboard battery charger do the following:
Turn the Key Switch (A) OFF. Unwind the electrical cord from the side of the onboard charger and plug it into a properly grounded outlet. Refer to the OEM product manual for more
detailed operating instructions.
If your machine shipped without an onboard battery charger do the following:
Disconnect the batteries from the machine and push the connector from the charger into the Battery Pack Connector (15). Follow the instructions on the battery charger. SERVICE
NOTE: Make sure you plug the battery charger into the connector with the handle attached to it.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have an appropriate charger for use on Gel cell batteries. Use only “voltage-regulated” or “voltage-limited” chargers. Standard constant
current or taper current chargers MUST NOT be used. A temperature-sensing charger is recommended, as manual adjustments are never accurate and will damage any
VRLA battery.

SERVICING THE SQUEEGEE
If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged. Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and
inspect the blades. Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.
To Reverse or Replace the Rear Squeegee Wiping Blade...
1 See Figure 5. Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, and then unsnap the Rear Squeegee Blade Removal Latch (20) on the squeegee tool.
2 Remove the Tension Strap (19).
3 Slip the rear blade off the Alignment Pins (21).
4 The squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine. Replace the
blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...
1 Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, then loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts (22) on top of the squeegee tool. Disconnect the Recovery Hose (16)
and remove the squeegee tool (12) from the mount.
2 Loosen the Front Squeegee Blade Removal Knob (AA), then remove Tension Strap (AB) and blade..
3 The squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine. Replace the
blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
4 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry.
To Adjust the Squeegee Angle...
1 Park the machine on a flat, even surface and lower the squeegee.
2 While moving the machine forward slowly, turn the Squeegee Adjustment Knob (23) until the rear squeegee blade folds over evenly across
the entire width of the squeegee as shown below.
