SAFETY MESSAGES
You will see four kinds of safety reminders in this manual:
DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury or damage to this machine or nearby objects. CAU-
TION also can be used to alert against unsafe practices.
NOTICE
NOTICE indicates information considered important, but
not hazard-related. This safety message may be related
to property damage or warranty warnings.
Your safety, and that of others, is very important. Operating this machine safely is an important responsibility.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE:

WARNING
The Batteries in this machine produce hazardous
voltage which can cause electrical shock, burns and/
or electrocution. Always disconnect batteries before
servicing this machine.
WARNING
When climbing or descending ramps, always drive
machine forward. To avoid overturning the machine, Do
not back down ramps. Do not drive across inclines. Do
not turn while ascending or descending ramps. Over-
turning the machine can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
Do not use water that exceeds 135°F / 57°C. If wa-
ter is above said temperature, this will void the Tank
Warranty.
WARNING
Do not park this machine on ramps or slopes. Always
park this machine on a level, hard surface. Do not oper-
ate this machine outdoors or on uneven surfaces.
WARNING
The Batteries in this machine contain sulfuric acid,
which causes burns to skin. If battery acid contacts
clothing or skin, rinse the effected area with cold water
immediately. If battery acid gets on your face or in your
eyes, flush the area immediately with cold water and
seek medical attention.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not operate this machine
over electrical floor outlets.
WARNING
Dress safely. Do not wear rings or metal wrist watches
when servicing this machine, as they can cause an
electrical short circuit which can cause serious burns.
WARNING
Do not remove, paint over or destroy warning decals. If
warning decals become damaged, call 1-262-681-3583
for free replacements.
WARNING
Dress safely. Do not wear a neck tie, scarf, or any
loose or dangling clothing while operating this machine.

rotating parts, causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
Always turn off this machine before leaving it unat-
tended. Do not allow untrained persons to operate this
machine.
WARNING
NO RIDERS. Do not carry passengers on this ma-
chine. Do not use this machine as a stepladder or work
platform.
WARNING

MACHINE OPERATION
PRE-CLEANING CHECKLIST:
Read and understand the Safety Messages section on
Pages 3 and 4 before operating the machine.
1. Check Battery Condition Gauge on the Control Panel.
Make sure Batteries are fully charged before using.
2. Check the condition of the Pads or Brushes.
3. Check the condition of the Squeegee Blades.
4. Raise the Scrubdeck and Squeegee before
transporting then transport the machine to the filling
station.
5. Turn the machine OFF.
6. Fill the Tank with up to 10 gallons of clean water
either at the front fill port (A) or rear fill port (B) (SEE
BELOW).
7. Add APPROVED cleaning chemical to the Tank.
Use the proper dilution ratio indicated on the bottle.
Contact us at 1(800)-634-4060 or +011-262-681-3583
if unsure.
NOTICE
The clear tube (Solution Sight Tube) (C) at the rear of the
machine indicates the amount of water in the tank (SEE
BELOW).
DANGER
EXPLOSION RISK! Flammable materials can
cause an explosion or fire. Do not use flammable
materials in tank or pick up.
CAUTION
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THIS MACHINE:
• Use approved detergents only
• Water temperature must not exceed 130˚F/54˚C
• Do not use high-percentage bleach mixture
OPERATING HINTS:
1. Observe the amount of solution the machine is
dispensing on the floor and adjust to the desired flow.
To increase the solution flow rate, pull the Solution
Control Lever down. To shut the solution OFF
completely, just release the Drive button, or use dash
mounted switch.
2. Keep an eye on the clear Vacuum Cover to make sure
that there is not any foamy buildup in the Recovery
Tank. If excess foam begins to develop, pour a
recommended foam control solution into the Recovery
Tank. Foam is usually an indication of excessive soap.
3. Always operate at lower speeds when scrubbing
around walls and objects. You should reduce the
speed to maintain control when turning.
4. If squeegee starts to streak, raise and wipe the Blades
with a clean cloth. If the problem continues, check the
Squeegee Blades for wear or damage and rotate if
needed. You may need to pre-sweep before scrubbing.
(Only Use OEM Parts)
5. Change or turn over Pads when dirty.
6. Stay clear of objects protruding from the floor such as
sockets, grates, etc, for they will damage the Pads and
Squeegee Blades.
7. Always keep an eye on your gauges. They let you
know the status of a particular system at a glance. If
your Battery Gauge is reading low you much stop
immediately and recharge. Running the batteries dead
will result in damage to the batteries.
8. When you run out of solution, raise the Scrubdeck and
continue to vacuum the remaining water until it is all
consumed. The Solution Sight Tube is used to indicate
the level of detergent remaining in the Tank.
9. When you are ready to stop, raise the Scrubdeck, turn
OFF the Solution Switch, raise the Squeegee and
drive the machine back to the charging area. Be sure
to drain both Tanks before storing the machine.
