Operating and Indicating Elements
Heavy scrub mode(Fig. 5/10)
This mode is recommended for high
traffic areas and areas that have been
heavily soiled. The machine will operate
the same as if it was in Regular Scrub
Mode, only in this mode brush pressure
is increased.
Double scrub mode(Fig. 5/8)
This mode is recommended if the floor
is heavily soiled and the cleaning chem-
icals will need additional time to emulsi-
fy grease and oils that are on the floor.
With the direction selector in either the
forward or reverse position and the ac-
celerator is activated, the solution pump
will turn on, the brushes will turn on and
lower to the floor. The rear squeegee
will not lower. This allows the chemical
solution time to remain on the floor. Af-
ter double scrubbing, vacuum only
mode should be used to recover the
dirty solution water from the floor.
Vacuum only mode(Fig. 5/12)
This mode is recommended for solution
removal after double scrubbing, but can
also be used to pick up spills. When the
accelerator pedal is activated with the
direction selector in the forward posi-
tion, the rear squeegee will lower to the
floor as the vacuum motor turns on pull-
ing the dirty solution water from the rear
squeegee into the recovery tank. If the
machine stops moving and the direction
selector is switched to reverse, the rear
squeegee will raise (protecting it from
damage) and the vacuum motor will
turn off after a delay. If the machine
stops moving in either direction, the
squeegee will automatically raise and
the vacuum motor will shut off after a
delay. Transport mode(Fig. 5/13)
When this mode is selected, none of the
cleaning functions will operate. This
mode is only used to transport the ma-
chine from one location to another.
