Machine Maintenance - NSS CHAMP 3529 RB Manuel D'utilisation

Prepare the Sidekick Chemical Metering System (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, 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.
oThe bottle holder accepts F-style rectangular
containers, and some smaller round containers.
oEmpty 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 is ready for use.
To Change Chemicals
 Loosen the cap on the chemical bottle, and remove
the suction line from the chemical bottle.
 Dispose or store any remaining chemical according to
local and federal regulations.
 Place the suction line into a container of clean water.
 With the machine over a floor drain, press and hold the
purge button until the clean water is drawn thru the
pump and dispensed at the brushes.
 Remove the suction line from the container of clean
water. Replace the container of clean water with a
container of the desired chemical, and install the
suction line.
 Press and hold the Purge button until chemical is
seen being drawn up to the pump, and pumping down
the tube from the pump to the tee fitting below the
machine.
 After each use, always flush the Sidekick lines
with clean water to prevent dried chemical from
accumulating in the lines.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE

Daily Maintenance
You must recharge the batteries when indicated by the
battery meter, and after every use. Read the battery
meter while the machine is in use.
*350 Ah batteries normally require 14 ½ - 16
to fully charge.
 NEVER let the batteries sit overnight after the machine
has been run for more than 1 hr since last recharge.
 See Battery Charger section.
Battery Electrolyte (Liquid) Level (Flooded only)

Add only distilled water to the cell of a battery
to adjust the liquid level. Do not use well or tap
only)
water. Before charging, add only enough water to ensure
the top of the plates are covered. After charging, add only
enough water to bring the level to the bottom of the fill
tube.

Do not overfill the battery liquid level, this will cause
electrolyte (acid) spill. Spilled electrolyte (acid) can cause
machine damage and personal injury. Clean up and
dispose of all spills immediately.

If machine is equipped with battery Auto-Fill system, fill
batteries prior to charging.
 Empty and rinse clean the recovery tank.
 Remove and rinse clean the squeegee assembly.
***NOTE: prolonged exposure to some wax stripper
brands may degrade the squeegee material. Rinsing
after use in a wax floor stripping application is highly
recommended.
 Remove and rinse clean the pad driver and / or brush.
 Inspect the machine components for wear or damage.
Call authorized service center for repairs.
 Wipe machine down; NEVER spray this machine with
water or any liquids.
 Inspect the squeeze tube in the Sidekick Chemical
Metering System for cracks or leaks.
Sidekick Chemical Metering System
 Purge the lines with clean water after each use.
 The squeeze tube under the see-through cover on top
of the pump requires periodic replacement
approximately every 500 hrs (depending on chemicals
used).
 To replace the squeeze tube:
1. Remove ferrule nuts from pump.
2. Unscrew pump cover, exposing the squeeze tube.
3. Remove damaged squeeze tube and replace with
new squeeze tube.
4. A screwdriver can be inserted in the spinner hub and
rotated as the tube is being replaced to ease
insertion. It is important not to twist the tube as it is
being inserted and the fittings should be inserted
"flat side up"
Add grease from the included packet.
5.
Re-install cover and resume normal operation
6.
Weekly Maintenance (Every 20 Hours)
 Verify that all daily maintenance has been performed.
 Inspect the battery liquid level; using only distilled
water, adjust to the proper level as needed. (Flooded
only)
 NOTE: If optional auto fill system is installed, follow
the directions that come with this system.
 Check all battery terminal and cable connections.
Tighten as deemed necessary.
 Clean any corrosion from the battery terminals and
cables.
 Check the solution flow to the pad driver and / or
1
/ hours
2
brush. Flush clean the solution tank and hose with a
mixture of 8 oz. (250mL) of white vinegar to 1 gallon (4
liter) of warm water.
 Inspect filters.
Inspect and replenish battery water in every cell in every
(Flooded
battery weekly. Failure to maintain proper electrolyte
