Safety Information
1.3 Operational Precautions
The E Ride 26 SPORT is a battery-
operated hard surface floor cleaning
system that utilizes a water / clean-
ing solution that is applied to the floor
and then vacuumed back into the
machine by way of an integrated
squeegee for later disposal.
Liquid residue remaining on the
floor during operation can rep-
resent a slip and fall hazard to
the operator and others in the
vicinity of machine use. When
working with the machine, op-
erators should use firm and
skid-proof shoes. Areas where
floor cleaning will occur should
be appropriately marked with
suitable slip and fall hazard
signs / markers / pop-up
cones, etc!
• It is indispensable for the operator or
user of the machine to become thor-
oughly acquainted with attached im-
plements and controls - as well as
their various functions - before oper-
ation commences.
• Before commencing operation of the
machine, check for obvious signs of
loose parts, potential conditions in-
dicative of malfunctions, etc. Any
signs of potential problems must be
remedied before actual operation
commences.
The electrical system in the
machine is not designed to
suppress sparks. Accordingly,
use of the E Ride 26 SPORT
where fire or explosion haz-
ards may exist due to flamma-
ble gases or vapors, flamma-
ble liquids, combustible dust,
or ignitable fibers or flyings,
must be avoided. The machine
can cause an explosion when
operated near such areas.
Use caution when operating
the machine on a ramp or in-
cline. Do not turn the machine
on an incline, as it may be-
come unstable and flip over.
Do not leave the machine unat-
tended on a ramp or incline, as
it could roll freely and result in
personal injury. The E Ride 26
SPORT is not designed for use
on surfaces with a greater than
6% incline or slope. Adopt op-
eration habits to local condi-
tions to ensure machine is al-
ways under operator's control.
The E Ride 26 SPORT is not
designed for decontamination
purposes and should not be
used in areas where hazard-
ous wastes or materials are
stored or have been spilled.
Use of the E Ride 26 SPORT in
these areas could result in the
spread of hazardous wastes or
materials and operator expo-
sure to same.
• Remove the key to avoid unautho-
rized use of the machine.
