A-18 / ENGLISH
OPERATING THE MACHINE (DISC & CYLINDRICAL)
WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills.
To Scrub...
Follow the instructions in "preparing the machine for use" section of this manual.
1 See Figure 7. While seated on the machine, adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable position using the Steering Wheel Tilt Adjust Knob (23). The seat can be adjusted if
necessary by tipping up the seat and using the adjustment knob (18).
2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights. Reference the Battery Condition Indicator (F6) and Hour Meter (F1) before proceeding.
3 To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal (3) to go forward or the rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the
pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
4 Press and hold the Solution Switch (C) to pre-wet the fl oor, solution will be dispensed while the switch is held. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring of the fl oor surface when
starting to scrub with dry brushes. This must be done prior to pressing the Scrub ON Switch (H).
5 Press the Scrub ON/OFF Switch (H), the scrub deck and squeegee will automatically be lowered to the fl oor. The scrub, vacuum, solution and detergent (EcoFlex models)
systems all start when the Drive Pedal (3) is activated.
The scrub pressure will default to Normal (one scrub pressure indicator lit). Use the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (G) and Scrub Pressure Decrease Switch (I) to change
between Normal, Heavy and Extreme Scrub modes. The solution fl ow rate will automatically adjust to coincide with the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The solution fl ow rate can be changed independently of the scrub pressure by pressing the Solution Increase Switch (B) or Solution Decrease Switch (D). Any
subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution fl ow rate to correspond with the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON/OFF Switch (H) is pressed. Any individual system
can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.
NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.
6 Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Adjust the machine speed and
solution fl ow when necessary according to the condition of the fl oor.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the fl oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.
7 When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine, you may be dispensing too
much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.
8 The machine defaults to the EcoFlex cleaning mode (Burst of Power Switch Indicator is lit GREEN) conserving solution and detergent. Press the Burst of Power Switch (J) to
override the EcoFlex cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution fl ow and the detergent ratio. This will cause the indicator to fl ash yellow for one minute,
solution fl ow rate will increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent ratio will increase to the pre-programmed ratio.
NOTE: Pressing and holding the Burst of Power Switch (J) for 2 seconds disables the EcoFlex system. The only way to re-enable is to push the Burst of Power Switch (J)
again. Cycling the Key Switch (A) does not re-enable the system. The EcoFlex system will only function if the Scrub System (H) has been enabled. See "Detergent System
Preparation and Use (EcoFlex)" for more detailed information regarding the adjustment and use of the detergent system.
9 For extremely dirty fl oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a "double-scrub" operation may be required. This operation is the same as a one-pass
scrubbing except on the fi rst pass the squeegee is in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (L) to raise the squeegee). This allows the cleaning solution to remain on
the fl oor to work longer. The fi nal pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.
10 The recovery tank has a shut-off fl oat (29) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this fl oat is activated, the recovery
tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the fl oat activated.
NOTE: All other indicators vanish and a "Recovery Tank FULL" Indicator (F7) appears on the Display Panel when the fl oat is activated.
11 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full;
Press the Scrub ON/OFF Switch (H) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes and solution fl ow and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a
brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay (this is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on).
12 Drive the machine to a designated waste water "DISPOSAL SITE" and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (31) from its rear storage area, then unscrew the
cap (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled fl ow of waste water). Refi ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.
NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (26) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (31) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.
When the batteries require recharging the Battery LOW Indicator (F8) will come on. Then the scrub brushes and solution fl ow will stop and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee
will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay. Transport the machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the
Battery section of this manual.

WET VACUUMING

Steps to follow in fi tting the machine with optional attachments for wet vacuuming.
1 Disconnect the Recovery Hose (37) from the Squeegee (11). Connect the coupler and hose from the wand kit to the recovery hose.
2 Attach suitable wet pick-up tools to the hose. (An optional Wand Kit PN56601087 is available from Advance).
3 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON and press the Wand Switch (L). NOTE: The operator cannot be in the seat for the vacuum motor to run on. The vacuum motor will run
continuously until the switch is pressed again. NOTE: The "Recovery Tank FULL" indicator is disabled when the wand mode is activated. The fl oat will stop the fl ow into the
recovery tank.
