PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Before starting work
x
Inspect pads for wear. Replace if needed.
x
Turn on brush motors and check battery indicator gauge to assure that there is
enough charge to scrub floor.
After you are finished using scrubber for the day
x
Raise squeegee and leave up.
x
Raise brushes and leave up.
x
Drain and rinse recovery tank, including vacuum shut-off float. Wipe top of tank
clean.
x
Clean vacuum intake screen. A small wire brush works well for this.
x
Wipe down recovery tank lid and lid gaskets.
x
Drain and rinse solution tank (especially if using something other than a very mild
scrubbing solution).
x
Charge batteries, if needed. Remember batteries have a longer life if allowed to
discharge sufficiently. Please read “Battery Maintenance” page.
Weekly maintenance
x
Check electrolyte level in batteries. See “Battery Maintenance” page for instructions.
x
Clean and lubricate caster wheels and caster swivel. There are grease fittings to use
a grease gun. Note: Main 10” wheels do not require lubricating. (They have sealed
ball bearings that cannot be lubricated).
x
Wipe surface of machine clean. A silicone product such as “Armor All” will make the
plastic parts look really good.
Monthly maintenance
x
Clean battery connections and tops of batteries. See “Battery Maintenance” page for
instructions.
x
Inspect scrub brushes for wear (If you have scrub brushes).
x
General visual inspection for problems.
Semi-annual maintenance
x
Inspect carbon brush wear in brush motors.
x
Lubricate all pivot points with a light oil. Porous bushings will absorb some oil to
distribute over time.
x
Lubricate brush lift arm sliding surface with a heavy grease. This is located behind
the back panel. Bearing grease may be used.
As needed items
x
Adjust squeegee tilt. See “Squeegee Information” page.
x
Turn, flip, or replace squeegee blade for streak free pickup.
x
Replace intake screen and intake screen gasket.
