To install a brush:
Raise the brush motors into the transport position.
Align the lugs of the brush with the slots on the drive
casting.
Turn the lugs of the brush toward the latch; close the
latch around the lug to lock onto the drive casting.
To install the squeegee assembly:
Place the squeegee lift arm in the storage (up)
position.
The squeegee assembly mounts to a metal bracket at
the bottom center of the machine, using two (2)
mounting knobs. Loosen the mounting knobs and
slide the squeegee assembly onto the mounting plate.
The squeegee assembly has two (2) small wheels to
prevent "rollover" while in reverse. The roller wheels
must face the operator. Hand-tighten the mounting
knobs. Do not use pliers to tighten knobs, as this will
defeat the "break-away" design.
Do not add any weights or other pressure to the
squeegee mechanism. This will not improve the
performance and will shorten the life of the blades.
It is recommended that, with new blades, the rear
wheels be adjusted to their lowest position. Loosen
the two screws on the bracket rotate the bracket
downward as far as it will go, then tighten the screws.
Perform this adjustment on both wheels/brackets.
When the squeegee becomes worn, and the wiping
edge no longer contacts the floor properly, further use
may be possible by adjusting the rear wheels upward
enough to restore proper engagement of the blades
wiping edge with the floor. Be sure to adjust the
wheels back down fully when a new blade is installed.
To install the side skirts:
Position the skirts at the left/right side of the machine.
Remove the skirt retaining pins from the mount
bracket.
Align the side skirt holes with mount bracket holes,
insert and secure retaining pins. Close side skirts
around machine and secure with skirt latch.
Prepare the Sidekick Chemical dispenser (if
equipped)
***CAUTION: Purging the Sidekick lines may
dispense a small amount of the chemical directly
onto the floor. If using wax stripper or harsh
chemicals, be sure to purge the lines in an area
that cannot be damaged by the chemical in use.
Place a container filled with the desired cleaning
chemical into the bottle holder located at the front of
the machine.
o The bottle holder accepts F-style rectangular
containers, and some smaller round containers.
o Empty F-style containers are available from NSS,
order part #9590171.
Ensure all hose fittings are tight, then insert the
suction tube into the chemical bottle, and tighten the
cap.
Turn on the Scrubber then press the ON button on the
Sidekick. The ON indicator will illuminate.
Press and hold the PURGE button on the Sidekick
until you see the supply line to the pump filled with the
chemical.
Select the desired dilution ratio as recommended by
the chemical manufacturer.
The Sidekick Chemical dispenser is ready for use.
Operating the Machine
The Wrangler 26 has the brush motors offset to the right
side of the machine. This offset allows you to clean the
edge of the floor or obstructed areas (walls or shelving)
with the right side of the machine.
Normal Cleaning
Sweep and dust mop the floor to remove dirt and
debris before scrubbing. Accumulations of dirt or
debris on the floor will reduce cleaning performance.
You may also need to pre-clean some types of spills
or stains before scrubbing.
Plan your work so that you make long, straight paths
with the fewest amount of turns possible, overlapping
each cleaning path about 2 in. (5 cm.) to prevent
streaking and dirty areas.
Move machine to area to be cleaned.
Place warning signs "Wet Floor" in area.
Turn on master switch.
Turn on brush and vacuum motor switches.
Place brush motors and squeegee assembly in
operating position on floor.
Fully open the solution valve handle for about 10-20
seconds to prime the solution lines and then adjust the
liquid flow to the desired level.
Watch the level of liquid in the recovery tank and listen
for the float shut-off to change the sound of the
vacuum motor. When the vacuum airflow stops, you
must turn off the vacuum motor and then empty the
recovery tank.
Take the machine to an approved disposal drain and
turn off all switches.
Raise the rubber flap at the front of the
Wrangler and pull out the flexible rubber drain hose.
Raise the end of the hose above the level of the
recovery tank, loosen and remove the hose drain plug.
Carefully lower and direct the drain hose into the drain.
When the recovery tank is empty, replace and tighten
the drain plug. Place the drain hose back into the
machine and secure the plug end in the clamp. Do not
obstruct the lift mechanism or brush motors.
Special Cleaning
The Wrangler may be used to perform special cleaning
jobs other than "normal" scrubbing.
Double Scrubbing
This procedure provides deeper cleaning on heavily
soiled floors. One or more cleaning passes are made
before picking up the chemicals with the squeegee.
Best results are achieved by placing the brush motors
in the heavy scrub position.
