OPERATION
Fill the Solution Tank with fresh water using the Solution Tank ll ports located on the front
(under the Cover Assembly) or rear of the machine. Water temperature should not exceed 120°F
(50°C). If the Q-CAPS™ chemical system is being utilized, install the appropriate Q-CAPS™
container at this time.
Turn the machine on using the On/O switch located on the Operator Control Panel.
Remove the Handle–Scrub Brush Assembly from its storage area.
With the scrub brush (or scrub pad) facing downwards, depress the solution trigger located on the
handle. Apply enough solution to adequately wet the area to be cleaned. Note: To prevent slip and
fall accidents, it’s best to clean larger areas in small sections.
Once the area has been throughly scrubbed, ip the Scrub Brush Assembly over so that the
squeegee is facing downwards. Vacuum until the area is dry.
Return the Handle–Scrub Brush Assembly to the storage area. Note: The Handle-Scrub Brush
Assembly may retain a small amount of recovered solution. Storing the assembly before turning
o the machine ensures this liquid drains into the storage area instead of draining onto the clean
oor.
Turn the machine o using the On/O switch located on the Operator Control Panel.
Using the Recovery Tank Drain Hose located on the rear of the machine, empty the recovered
solution into an approved drain or slop sink.
Prior to use, ensure the battery has been suciently charged. The machine should be plugged in for charging
any time the machine is not in use. The QS-12 is not designed to pick up large particles. Sweep and remove
any large debris from the area to be cleaned before operation.
Note: The Vacuum Motor is disabled whenever the Solution Pump is in use. Release Solution Trigger to
activate Vacuum Motor.

• Yellow–Red: Indicates approximately 55% – 1% battery remaining.
• Red Only: Indicates 0% battery remaining (the machine will no longer
operate).
Battery Charger & Charger Status
A. The Battery Charger cord is stored on the cord wrap located on the rear
right-hand side of the machine (cord not shown).
B. The status of the battery charger is displayed through a small window in
the back panel of the machine. The status indicator is active whenever
the Battery Charger is plugged in.

SOLUTION TANK & Q-CAPS™ CHEMICAL SYSTEM
Filling the Solution Tank
The Solution Tank can be lled through the front or rear ll ports. The
front ll port is located under the Cover Assembly. The rear ll port is
located above the Solution Tank Sight Tube and the Recovery Tank Drain
Hose.
Q-CAPS™ Chemical System
The Q-CAPS™ Chemical System allows for a pre-measured amount of
cleaning chemical to be added to the Solution Tank. To use this system,
simply thread a new Q-CAPS™ container onto the brass tting located
next to the front ll port. Q-CAPS™ containers are intended to be added
to a fresh, full tank of water. Over-dosing (using more than one Q-CAPS™
container) could create poor results.
