OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
The operator’s responsibility is to take care of the
daily maintenance and checkups of the machine to
keep it in good working condition. The operator must
inform the service mechanic or supervisor when the
maintenance intervals are required as stated in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
Read this manual carefully before operating this
machine.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine unless
operation manual is read and understood.
After the first 50 hours (3 weeks) of operation the
following procedures are recommended:
Check the squeegee deflection.
Check the battery electrolyte level.
Check the battery cable connections.
RECEIPT OF MACHINE
Carefully check carton and machine for signs of
damage. If damaged, file claim with carrier
immediately. Concealed damage claims should be
filed within 90 days of receipt. Retain all packing
materials and delivery receipts for claim support.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Battery installation must be completed before
removing machine from pallet. After batteries are
installed remove shipping screws (4) that mount front
and rear of machine to pallet. Create a ramp and
carefully push machine off pallet. Be certain that
scrub head is in the up position. See page 41 for
battery installation instructions.
BRUSH AND PAD DRIVER INSTALLATION
1. Make sure the scrubber head is in the ”UP”
position, and the key switch is turned ”OFF.”
2. Slide the brush or pad driver under the scrubber
head. Holding the brush or pad driver with both
hands, lift it up to the drive hub and snap into
position (Figure 1).
FIG. 1.
NOTE: Pads should be mounted to drivers before
installation, for proper centering.
3. To remove the brush or pad driver, push down on
the brush release pin, located on the scrubber
head, behind each scrub motor (Figure 2).

OPERATION
7
265XP (03-99)
FIG. 2.
ATTENTION: Do not operate scrub motors
without brushes or pad drivers (with pads) in
place.
SQUEEGEE TOOL INSTALLATION
Slide the squeegee tool onto the bracket, with the
wing screws loose. MAKE SURE the washers are on
top of the bracket. Tighten the wing screws (HAND
TIGHTEN ONLY). If they are too tight, this will defeat
the breakaway feature should the tool get caught on
an obstruction during use. Attach the pickup hose to
the tool (Figure 3).
FIG. 3.
FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
Tanks on the machine are made of polyethylene and
are resistant to most cleaning solutions. CAUTION:
DO NOT USE WATER IN EXCESS OF 66°C
(150°F), as it can cause the material to become brittle
and void the warranty.
Remove the clear lid from the solution tank
(operator’s left) and pour solution to the fill line
located inside the tank. If powdered chemicals are
being used, mix the chemical with water before
putting it in the tank. This will help prevent clogging of
plumbing, valves, etc.
WARNING: Flammable materials can cause
an explosion or fire. Do not use flammable
materials in tank(s).
MACHINE OPERATION
1. Turn the ignition key to the ”ON” position.
2. Activate Scrub/Transport Switch to either
transport (brush–up) or scrub (brush down)
position (Figure 4).
FIG. 4.
To Transport:
Press bottom half of Scrub/Transport Switch to
raise brush if you wish to transport the machine
without scrubbing.
To travel, twist the control grips forward. As you
twist farther, the machine will travel faster.
To stop, simply release the grips.
For reverse travel, twist the grips backward.
Reverse travel speed is limited for safety.
To Scrub:
Press and release the top half of Scrub/Transport
Switch to lower brushes for scrubbing. The scrub
head will lower to the floor and automatically select
a pre–determined pressure, approximately 75 lbs.
This setting is sufficient for most applications. If this
pressure is right for your job, no additional operator
settings are required.

OPERATION
8265XP (03-99)
To begin scrubbing, simply twist the handle grips
forward. The machine will begin to move forward and
the brushes will start spinning. Brushes will stop
approximately 2 seconds after the grips are released.
NOTE: While scrubbing, check the needle position of
the brush pressure meter. For normal scrubbing, the
indicator should be in the MIDDLE to LOWER green
section, as selected by the machine.
ATTENTION: Do not operate with the needle in
the RED zone. This will cause the circuit breakers
to trip.
If necessary, pad pressure can be adjusted using the
increase (+) and decrease (–) buttons located on the
control console. Press the increase (if pressure is too
low) or decrease (if pressure is too high) button until
desired pressure is achieved.
While scrubbing, check the needle position of the
brush pressure meter. For normal scrubbing, the
indicator should be in the MIDDLE to LOWER
green section.
To increase (+) or decrease (–) pad pressure.
Press and hold brush switch until desired pressure
is achieved.
3. Check skirt for proper adjustment. To adjust the
skirt on the scrub head, loosen the latch located
on the rear of the scrub head. Push the skirt
evenly to the floor, and fasten the latch, securing
the skirt’s position. During operations where the
squeegee is off the floor, such as double scrub or
strip, be sure the skirt is positioned slightly off of
the floor to avoid ”plowing” solution.
4. To activate solution flow to pads or brushes
during scrub operation, press solution switch to
the ON position.
Solution flow can be regulated by turning the flow
adjustment knob toward the minimum or
maximum positions.
5. To lower the squeegee, lift the handle while
pressing to the right, then lower to the floor. The
vacuum motor will start when the handle is placed
in the lowest position (Figure 5).
FIG. 5.
6. To begin scrubbing, slowly twist the handle control
grips in the direction of desired travel. The scrub
motors will only start if they are in lowered
position.
ESSwitch (Option)
The ESswitch turns on and off the solution
recycling system.
CLEANING WITH THE MACHINE
Remove any potential obstructions to the brushes or
squeegee by sweeping the area to be cleaned prior to
operating the machine.
When operating the machine, work at a pace that
delivers the cleaning performance desired, and is safe
for the area being cleaned. Always operate at a
slower speed when working around walls or
obstacles. When turning, reduce speed to a lower
level to maintain maximum control.
The machine’s unique squeegee system
encompasses the brushes, therefore it is not
necessary to turn off the solution flow when making
turns. This squeegee system also enables you to
travel in reverse without lifting the squeegee off of
the floor.
WARNING: Flammable materials or reactive
metals can cause explosion or fire. Do not pick
up.
OPERATING TIPS
Do not park the machine for long periods of time on
resilient floors. The weight of the machine can leave
marks on the floor.

OPERATION
9
265XP (03-99)
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine, stop on level surface and turn off
machine.
If your machine is equipped with foam filled tires,
strong cleaning solutions will cause the tire to ”bleed”
on the floor. This is normal due to the mold release
compound used in making the tires, and it should
cease after a few weeks of use.
The harder you work the machine (heavy brush
pressure, etc.) the shorter your run time will be. Only
use as much power as is required for the job.
EMPTYING THE TANKS
The solution tank is designed to retain your unused
cleaning solution for reuse and savings. It does not
require draining after use. Should you choose to
drain, however, open the drain hose compartment
door located in the lower front area of the machine.
Pull out the clear drain hose (smaller diameter).
Remove the plug and drain the tank (Figure 6).
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine, stop on level surface and turn off
machine.
FIG. 6.
The recovery tank is equipped with an automatic float
shut–off, which responds to the presence of water or
foam. When the tank is filled to it’s usable capacity,
the float will activate, shutting off the vacuum air flow.
The operator will notice an increase in the vacuum
motor sound level and a drop in vacuum pickup.
When this happens, raise the brushes and squeegee
tool and transport the machine to a disposal site.
Open the drain hose compartment door and pull the
(large) hose from the cavity. Remove the plug and
drain the tank. The volume of solution in the tank may
cause a rush of solution from the hose. Should the
operator desire to control this rush, turn the key on
and lower the squeegee to the floor. The vacuum will
hold the water in the tank (Figure 6).
The recovery tank should be flushed with clear water
under pressure after each use to prevent a building
up of heavy debris.
SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENTS
To operate properly, the squeegee tool must be
properly adjusted. The squeegee tip adjustment
keeps the tool level to the floor, and the blade wiping
evenly from tip to tip. To adjust, lower the tool to the
floor and drive the machine slightly forward, until the
wiping blade lays over. Turn the knob to the right or
left to get proper blade deflection at the tips.
The squeegee pressure adjustment assures the
blade ”lays over” slightly in use and the sharp edge of
the blade wipes the floor. To adjust, lower the tool to
the floor and drive the machine ahead slightly. Locate
the adjustment knob at the top of the pressure arm
under the back of the machine. To increase pressure,
turn the knob clockwise; to decrease pressure, turn
counter–clockwise. Do not apply too much pressure,
only enough to lay the blade over, so the sharp edge
wipes the floor (Figure 7).
FIG. 7.

OPERATION
10 265XP (03-99)
SQUEEGEE BLADE REPLACEMENT
Once the wiping edge has worn round, the blade will
no longer wipe the floor dry. The wiping blade has
four (4) usable edges. Once they are all used, a new
replacement blade kit should be installed, not just the
wiping blades. To reverse or replace the blades,
remove the tool from the machine. Starting at the
outside of each end of the tool, remove the bolts
toward the center. To install new blades, put all blades
in place, and install the bolts from the center out.
IMPORTANT: Proper blade installation is critical
to maximize water pick up. Make sure blades are
straight. Do not over tighten bolts, as this will
cause the blades to wrinkle (Figure 8).
FIG. 8.
OTHER USES FOR THE MACHINE
High Volume Water Pick Up
