Main Key Switch

Vacuum Switch

Turns on the vacuum motor on and off.

Traction Breaker

Over current protection for the traction motor.  This is a 

7A breaker.  If the traction forward lever is pressed and 

the machine does not traverse, turn the machine off and 

press the breaker to reset.

Pad Motor Switch

Turns the pad drive motor on and off.  This switch also 

opens the solenoid valve to allow solution to flow to the 

pad.  The solenoid valve will close when the switch is 

turned off.

Battery Level Indicator

Displays the charge level of the battery.  There are three 

lights and the top green light indicates the battery is fully 

charged.  The bottom red light indicates the battery pack 

needs to be recharged. Stop using the machine when 

the red light is illuminated to prevent damage to the 

machine.

Traction Forward Lever

Pulling back on the traction forward lever will make the 

machine move forward.  The further you pull back the 

faster the machine will traverse.  This machine does 

not have reverse.  If you need the machine to back-up, 

release the traction forward lever and pull the machine 

backwards.  If the squeegee is in the lowered position, 

you will need to raise the squeegee before pulling the 

machine backwards.

Parking Brake

The parking brake will prevent the machine from moving 

while not in use or being transported.  The parking brake 

should be engaged when the machine is not in use or 

left unattended.  Always disengage the parking brake 

while in use to prevent damage to the drive components.
Engage the parking brake by pulling back on the brake 

lever and push the red latch into one of the notches. To 

release the parking brake, pull on the brake lever and 

the red latch will automatically release.

Squeegee Lift Lever

This lever will manually lift and lower the squeegee 

assembly.  To lower the squeegee, pick up on the lever 

and rotate it towards the right side of the machine.  

Allow the lever to fall and the squeegee will rest on the 

floor.  When you need to lift the squeegee, pick up on 

the lever and rotate towards the center of the machine.  

Place the lift lever in the notch of the lever catch plate 

and allow it to rest in place.

Recovery Tank Clean Out

When the recovery tank needs to be thoroughly cleaned 

or there is an obstruction at the drain hose, removing 

the recovery tank clean out cap will provide access 

to the inside of the recovery tank. Always be sure to 

reinstall and tighten the clean out cap before using the 

machine.

Recovery Tank Drain Hose

This drain hose will allow you to drain the dirty water 

out of the recovery tank.  Always be sure to reinstall the 

drain plug in the end of the hose after draining.

Pad / Brush Pedal

The foot pedal will raise and lower the pad drive 

assembly.  To lower the pad drive assembly, using 

your foot, press down on the pedal and slightly rotate 

toward the center of the machine.  Once the pedal is in 

the channel, slowly lower the pad drive assembly until 

it rests on the floor.  To raise the pad drive assembly, 

using your foot, press down on the pedal and rotate the 

pedal outward until it is captured in the lift guide bracket.

Solution Adjustment Lever

This lever adjusts the amount of solution being put on 

the floor while the pad is turning. Raising the lever all 

the way up is the maximum amount of solution flow. 

Pushing the lever all the way down will shut off flow of 

solution.

Solution Tank Drain Hose

Unthread the cap on the end of the hose and drain any 

remaining solution in the solution tank.  The clear hose 

also serves as an liquid level gauge to determine how 

much solution is left in the solution tank.

Solution Tank Fill

Remove the fill cap and add solution and cleaner to the 

solution tank.

Recovery Tank Access

Remove the cap to gain access to the inside of the 

recovery tank. Use this access to rinse the recovery tank 

after it has been drained.
