ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE FLOOR IS PRE-SWEPT
AND RELEVANT SAFETY SIGNS ARE DISPLAYED.
Machine Operation
The floor-tool design incorporates a breakaway feature.
Allowing it to safely disengage from its mounting should it
become caught on an obstruction, during forward machine
movement (Fig 33).
To re-attach the blade to its holder.
First loosen the retaining knobs on the floor-tool body and slide
onto the holding bracket.
Tighten retaining knobs to finger tight (Fig 34).
To operate, turn the master control on/off key to the 'ON' position,
select water flow rate, chemical mix (see page 15), lower the floor
tool (see page 14) and select forward (see page 9: Fig 4), press
the start / stop trigger.
Vacuum pick-up, water-flow and chemical-dose will turn on
automatically and the machine will move forward.
Adjust the speed to suit the conditions using the variable speed
control (see page 9).
The clean water / chemical mix is dispersed evenly via
'THRU- FEED' scrubbing brushes.
The waste water is then retrieved by the suction floor-tool.
Overlap each scrubbing path by 10cm to ensure
an even clean.
Do not operate the machine on inclines that exceed (9%), when
full.
NOTE: Care must be taken to reduce speed when
cornering or when manoeuvring around obstacles
On heavy soiled floors.
First pre-scrub the floor with the floor-tool in the raised position,
allow the chemical time to work then scrub the area a second
time with the floor-tool lowered (Fig 35).
If streaking occurs wipe floor-tool blades clean (Fig 36).
On heavily soiled floors use a 'double scrub' technique.
