MACHINE OPERATION
PRE-CLEANING CHECKLIST:
Read and understand the Safety Messages section on
Pages 6 and 7 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.
3. Check the condition of the Squeegee Blades.
4. Raise the Scrubdeck and Squeegee before transport-
ing 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 BE-
LOW).
7. Add APPROVED cleaning chemical to the tank. Use
the proper dilution ratio indicated on the bottle. Con-
tact 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 up. 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.

BATTERY CHARGING
Charger Specifications
• Output voltage of 24 Volts
• Output current of 12 amps max
• Input voltage of 110 Volts/ 60 Hz
(220V/50 Hz available)
• Automatic shut off circuit
• Made for Deep Cycle Batteries
DANGER
Explosive hydrogen gas forms when Batteries are
charging. An open flame or spark can cause this gas
to explode. Serious personal injury or property damage
could occur. Only charge the Batteries in this machine
in a well ventilated area.
WARNING
Before you service a Battery, always wear face protec-
tion, protective gloves and protective clothing. Battery
acid or battery explosion can cause serious injuries.
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.
CAUTION
Always use the automatic battery charger provided by
the manufacturer of this machine to charge the batter-
ies of this machine. It is designed to charge the Batter-
ies at the appropriate rate. If you must use a different
charger, disconnect the Batteries before charging to
avoid damage to the electronic speed controller.
EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGING:
1. Transport machine to a well ventilated area for
charging.
2. Turn the machine off. Tip Tank back.
3. Check the water in each battery (1). Do not charge
the machine unless the water is slightly higher than
the plates. If needed, add enough distilled water to
just slightly cover the plates. Be careful not to over fill.
Batteries can overflow during charging. Replace caps
