OPERATION

DRAINING TANKS

Drain and rinse out the tanks after every use. Janitor
closets with floor sinks are best suited for waste water
disposal. Use a five gallon bucket if floor sink is
unavailable.
1. Raise the scrub head to the transport position and
transport the machine to draining site. Turn the
key to the off position.
2. Remove the drain hose cap and slowly lower the
hose over the drain site (Figure 20). Lift the hose
to stop the flow. The recovery tank drain hose is
located on the right side and the solution tank
drain hose is located on the left side.

NOTE: When using a bucket to drain the recovery
tank, do not use the same bucket to fill the solution
tank.
3. Rinse out the recovery tank and the float shut-off
screen with clean water (Figure 21).

CHARGING BATTERIES

ATTENTION: To prolong the life of the batteries
and to provide optimum machine performance,
ONLY recharge the batteries after a total of 30
minutes of use or more. Do not leave batteries
discharged for lengthy periods.
BATTERY METER: When the battery meter begins to
flash, stop scrubbing and recharge batteries. When
two lights begin to flash alternately, the scrub head will
automatically raise to the transport position. This will
protect the batteries from total discharge.
The following charging instructions are intended for
battery chargers supplied with the machine. Only use
a battery charger with the following specifications to
prevent battery damage.

FOR DEEP CYCLE BATTERY CHARGING
1. Transport the machine to a well--ventilated area
for charging.
WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard.
Batteries Emit Hydrogen Gas. Keep Sparks And
Open Flame Away. Keep Battery Compartment
Open When Charging.
2. Park the machine on a level surface and turn the
key off.
3. Before charging the batteries, periodically check the
electrolyte level in each battery cell (Figure 22).
The electrolyte level (A) should slightly cover the
battery plates (B). Add distilled water as needed.
DO NOT OVERFILL, the fluid may expand and
overflow while charging. Replace cell caps before
charging (Figure 22).
