freight company to file a freight claim.
MACHINE COMPONENTS
Solution Tank
The solution tank is the lower part of the machine
body. It has a capacity of 8 gallons (30 liters).
•The amount of water in the tank is measured by the
sight hose, (clear plastic tube), at the rear of the
machine.
Recovery Tank
The recovery tank is the upper part of the machine
body. It has a capacity of 10 gallons (38 liters).
•A rectangular, clearview lid assembly closes the
recovery tank.
•The recovery tank has a foam-sensitive float shut-
off assembly. As the water or foam level rises, the
float ball will rise and shut off the air-flow of the
vacuum motor to the squeegee. It does not shut off
the vacuum motor.
Control Panel
•The operator control panel is located at the rear
area of the machine. This panel has components
that control various machine functions.
•Starting from the left side:
•The circuit breaker is for both the brush motor and
the vacuum motor.
•The first switch turns the brush motor on and off.
•The next switch turns the vacuum motor on and off.
•The red switch is the master power switch; it
controls the power to all components
Battery Meter
The battery meter is located on the right side of the
operator control panel and shows the state of charge
of batteries during operation and recharge.
The battery meter is equipped with a relay that will
open, turning off the machine, when the battery
voltage has dropped to it’s lowest permissible level.
•When the batteries are fully charged, all of the
LED’s are illuminated.
•As the batteries discharge, the LED’s start to turn
off, one at a time, from right to left.
•When the last yellow LED on the left starts
blinking, there is only a few minutes of runtime left
before the machine is automatically turned off.

•Make sure the recovery tank drain hose is tight on
the plug.
•Always use a defoamer to protect the vac motor.
•Consult your local distributor for complete chemical
advice.
Install a Pad Driver and Pad:
•There is a wide range of pads or brushes available
for the many cleaning applications. Consult your
NSS authorized distributor for recommendations.
•Turn off all switches and empty all liquids from the
recovery and solution tank.
•Raise the brush motor into the “up” position. The
foot pedal is at the rear left of the machine. Step on
the pedal and slide it to the right into the notch.
•Step on the foot pedal latch at the front of the
machine chassis.
•Lift the machine body by the opening for the
solution tank. Tilt the machine body backward until
the handles rest on the floor.
•Remove pad driver assembly from drive casting on
end of brush motor shaft by turning the driver
counter-clockwise.
•Turn the pad drivers upside down on the floor and
remove the pad holding cup.
•Remove the center cutout of the 17” (43cm) or 20”
(51cm) pad if present and place pad on the face of
the pad driver.
•The pad must be centered on the driver to prevent
wobbling or bouncing.
•Install and secure the pad holding cup to the pad
driver. Turn the pad driver over so that the pad
faces the floor.
•Align the notches of the pad driver with the lugs of
the drive casting.
•Turn the pad driver clockwise to lock onto the drive
casting.
•Turn the pad driver counter-clockwise to remove.
Install a Brush:
•Align the notches of the brush with the lugs of the
drive casting.
•Turn the brush clockwise to lock onto the drive
casting.
•Turn the brush counter-clockwise to remove.
Install the Squeegee Assembly:
•Place the squeegee lift arm in the storage (up)
position.
•The squeegee assembly mounts to a metal bracket
at the bottom center of the machine, using two (2)
mounting knobs. Loosen the mounting knobs and
slide the squeegee assembly onto the mounting
plate.
•The squeegee assembly has two (2) small wheels
to prevent “rollover” while in reverse. The roller
wheels must face the operator. Hand tighten the
mounting knobs. Do not use pliers to tighten
knobs, as this will defeat the “break-away” design.
•Do not add any weights or other pressure to the
squeegee mechanism. This will not improve the
performance and will shorten the life of the blades.
•It is recommended that, with new blades, the rear
wheels be adjusted to their lowest position.
Loosen the two screws on the bracket rotate the
bracket downward as far as it will go, then tighten
the screws. Perform this adjustment on both
wheels/brackets.
•When the squeegee becomes worn, and the wiping
edge no longer contacts the floor properly, further
use may be possible by adjusting the rear wheels
upward enough to restore proper engagement of
the blades wiping edge with the floor. Be sure to
adjust the wheels back down fully when a new
blade is installed.
Operating the Machine
Do not operate the machine with the battery
meter needle in the red zone.
The Wrangler 1708/2008 is very maneuverable and
is designed for light to medium scrubbing as you
operate the machine from behind. Follow these
steps to prepare the machine for daily operation.
•Sweep and dust mop the floor to remove dirt and
debris before scrubbing. Accumulations of dirt or
debris on the floor will reduce cleaning
performance.
•You may also need to preclean some types of
spills or stains before scrubbing.
•Plan your work so that you make long, straight
paths with the fewest amounts of turns as possible,
overlapping each cleaning path about 2 in. (5cm) to
prevent streaking and dirty areas.
•Remove as many obstacles as possible from the
area to be scrubbed.
•Do not put strip solution in solution tank. Apply
with mop and bucket and rinse with clean water in
solution tank.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance is critical to ensure proper
machine operation and cleaning performance.
Perform all maintenance procedures as follows.
Always turn OFF all machine switches before
performing any maintenance.
Adjusting the Squeegee Assembly:
As the machine is used, the squeegee blades will
wear or need to be replaced due to damage. Some
adjustment may be needed.
•Squeegee blades should lie over slightly (like a
window squeegee) when the machine is moving
forward or in reverse.
•Adjust the blade angle by turning the wing nut on
the pivot arm clockwise/counterclockwise.
Daily Maintenance
Solution and Recovery Tanks
•Drain the solution tank through the solution valve or
the sight hose at the rear of the machine.
•The recovery tank is emptied through the black
