DANGER: Operating a machine that is not
completely or fully assembled could
result in injury or property damage.
Do not operate this machine unless it
is completely assembled. Inspect the
machine carefully before operation.
How To Operate The Squeegee
The squeegee wipes the floor while the vacuum motor
removes the dirty solution from the floor. Use your hand
to lower or raise the squeegee handle. To operate the
squeegee, follow this procedure:
1. To lower the squeegee and start the vacuum motor,
move the squeegee lever to the right and down. See
figure 18.
2. To raise the squeegee, lift the squeegee lever up.
See figure 19.
NOTE: The center position lets the vacuum motor
continue to run with the squeegee off the floor to avoid
drips and also allows you to back up the machine.
How To Fill The Solution Tank
The solution tank can be filled in the front or through the
clear drain hose at the rear of the machine (See figure
20). To fill the solution tank follow this procedure:
1. Add a cleaning chemical to the solution tank. For
the correct amount of chemical, follow the directions
shown on the container.
2. Fill the solution tank with water. When filling
machine in the front with a hose, position hose
inside the fill screen as shown in figure 20A.
When filling machine from the rear, position clear
drain hose against bracket and insert hose as
shown in figure 20B Solution level can be viewed
from the back of the machine.
WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning materials
used with this type of machine can
leave wet areas on the floor surface.
These areas can cause a dangerous
condition for the operator or other
persons. Always put CAUTION signs
near the area you are cleaning.
WARNING: Machines can ignite flammable
materials and vapors. Do not use with
or near flammables such as gasoline,
grain dust, solvents and thinners.
