Minuteman M12230 Port A Scrub - Manual (Page 7)

By pressing the pedal lightly with your foot, pull back the handle a little to start the motor. The
brushes and the drum starts rotating. Pulling the handle further without pressing the pedal,
lowers the machine and engages the rotating brushes onto the floor. To stop working, take the
handle to the vertical position.
By pulling, the liquid discharge control handle up, the cleaning liquid is made to spray on the
floor. The spraying stops once the liquid discharge control handle is released.
Brush contact with the floor is adjustable in 4 steps, contact is MINIMUM when the knob is
fully down and MAXIMUM when it is fully raised. This helps you to compensate for the wear
of brushes and also to control the scrubbing effect. If there is no machine movement, when
the handle lower down fully (working mode), change the knob position to one step up.
In the event of motor getting overloaded due to improper power supply or unexpected
obstruction to the brush/drum rotation, the over load protector trips and protects the motor
from damage. If this happens, identify the cause, correct it and, reset the protector button after
minimum 30 seconds from tripping by pressing the over load protector manually and continue
working.
Slide this knob to TOP position to operate the machine. Slide this knob to BOTTOM position to
move the machine from one place to other place and to park the machine. By keeping the knob
to top position (working mode) and moving the machine will damage the brushes.
