Refer to wiring diagram inside the battery
compartment. Align batteries in compartment as
shown on diagram.
Install battery cables as shown on wiring diagram.
Tighten bolts and hex nuts with a wrench.
Caution: Do not touch two terminals with a wrench.

injury.
Charge the batteries before use!
Battery Charging
To recharge the batteries, plug the charger cord,
located at the rear of the machine, into an electrical
outlet (100/115/230 50/60HZ VAC).
CAUTION: Make sure the battery type LED on the
charger matches the type of battery installed in your
machine! EXCEPTION-CROWN AND TROJAN
AGM'S TO BE CHARGED WITH GEL SETTING.
When the cord is plugged into an outlet the machine
will become disabled.
See Battery Charger section for more details.
Prepare the solution and recovery tanks:
Never use water over 140°F (60°C) degrees.
Excessively hot water may damage components such
as the tanks.
Put 1 to 2 gallons [3.8L to 7.6L] of clean water into the
solution tank first to help dilute the chemicals and
prevent excess sudsing. Dilute the cleaning chemicals
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Fill the tank by pouring the water and cleaning
chemicals through the round mesh filter that covers
the opening at the front of the solution tank.
Make sure the drain plug of the recovery tank is closed
tightly and in its holding clip.
Always use a defoamer to protect the vacuum motor.
Consult your local distributor for complete chemical
advice.
To install a pad driver and pad:
There is a wide range of pads or brushes available for
the many cleaning applications. Consult your local
NSS authorized distributor for application
recommendations.
Turn the pad drivers upside down on the floor and
remove the pad holding cup.
Remove the center cutout of the 13" (33 cm.) pad.
Place the 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.
Raise the brush motors into the transport position.
Align the lugs of the pad driver with the slots of the
drive casting.
Turn the lug of the pad driver toward the latch; close the
latch around the lug to lock onto the drive casting.
