Hillyard TRIDENT R30SC, Use And Maintenance Manual

I.  Remove the cap (4) from the battery charger socket (

Fig.4

).

CAUTION

: before connecting the batteries to the battery charger, make sure it is suitable for 

the batteries used.

WARNING

: Before inserting the battery charger's power cable into the socket (5), make sure 

that no condensate or other types of liquid are present (

Fig.5

).

NOTE

: the battery charger power cable is delivered inside the bag containing this instruction 

booklet.

II.  Connect the battery charger's power cable to the socket on the battery charger itself.

III.  Plug the battery charger cable into the mains socket.

CAUTION

: keep the recovery tank open for the duration of the battery recharging cycle to 

allow gas fumes to escape.

IV.  When the recharge cycle is complete, disconnect the battery charger cable from the mains.

V.  Disconnect the battery charger's power cable from the socket on the battery charger itself.

VI.  Apply the cap (4) to the battery charger's socket (

Fig.4

).

VII.  Grip the handle (1) and turn the recovery tank to its working position (

Fig.6

).

10. ASSEMBLING THE BRUSH HEAD BRUSHES (SCRUBBING VERSION)

To assemble the brushes to bush head body, which for reasons of packaging are supplied dismantled 

from the machine, proceed as follows:

1.  Sit on the driver’s seat.

2.  Insert the key (1) into the main switch on the control panel. Bring the main switch to its "I" position 

by turning the key (1) a quarter turn to the right (

Fig.1

).

3.  Turn the brush head control lever (2) anti-clockwise (

Fig.2

); in this manner the brush head body 

will be raised off the floor.

4.  As soon as the brush head body has arrived in its resting position, perform the procedure for 

securing the machine (see the section titled “

SECURING THE MACHINE

”).

CAUTION

: these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any possible 

contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.

5.  Move to the left hand side of the machine and open the left lateral carter (3) (

Fig.3

).

6.  Remove the side splash guard support (4) by loosening the knobs (5) on it (

Fig.4

).

7.  With the brush head UP, insert the brush in the plate housing underneath the brush head, turning it 

until the three buttons engage with the niches on the plate itself.

8.  Turn in increments until the button is pushed towards the coupling spring and is locked in place 

(

Fig.5

).

NOTE

: as soon as you have fitted the left-hand brush, go to the right side of the machine and 

repeat the procedure for the right-hand brush. Image 4 indicates the direction of rotation for 

coupling the left brush; the right brush must be turned in the opposite direction.

11. ASSEMBLING THE SQUEEGEE BODY

For packaging reasons, the squeegee body comes disassembled from the machine. In order to mount 

it on the squeegee support, do the following:

1.  Sit on the driver’s seat.

2.  Insert the key (1) into the main switch on the control panel. Bring the main switch to its "I" position 

by turning the key (1) a quarter turn clockwise (

Fig.1

).

3.  Turn the squeegee control lever (2) anti-clockwise (

Fig.2

) to raise the squeegee body off the floor.

4.  Once the squeegee body has arrived in its resting position, perform the procedure for securing the 

machine (see the section titled “

SECURING THE MACHINE

”).

CAUTION

: these operations must be carried out using protective gloves to avoid any possible 

contact with the edges or tips of metal objects.

5.  Unscrew the knobs (3) present in the squeegee body's pre-assembly (

Fig.3

).

6.  First, insert the left pin (4) on the squeegee body into the left slit (5) in the squeegee support (

Fig.4

), 

so that the bushing adheres to the walls of the slit in the squeegee support.

7.  Repeat the same operation for the right pin.

8.  Insert the vacuum tube (6) into the sleeve (7) in the squeegee body (

Fig.5

).

NOTE

: Although the squeegee comes pre-adjusted, it is nevertheless recommended to read the 

section titled “

ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE BODY'S RUBBER BLADES

”.

12. FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK

Before filling the solution tank, carry out the following steps:

1. 

Take the machine to the usual place for filling the solution tank.

2.  Perform the procedure for securing the machine (see the section titled “

SECURING THE 

MACHINE

”).

3.  Check to make sure that the solution tank drainage cap (1) is closed. If this is not the case, close 

it (

Fig.1

).

4. 

Check to make sure that the water system's filter cap (2), located on the rear left-hand side of the 

machine, is closed, and close it if necessary (

Fig.2

).

The solution tank can be filled with water in two different ways:

• 

Removing the cap/measuring device (3) and filling the solution tank by means of a rubber hose or 

a bucket (

Fig.3

).

• 

Using the filler hose (4) (

Fig.3

), which supports the water hose on its own. In this case, be sure to 

remove the cap/measuring device (3) in order to allow the air to vent properly.

5.  Fill with clean water, at a temperature not higher than 122°F and not lower than 50°F. The amount 

inside the tank can be seen by means of the level pipe on the front left of the seat.

12. DETERGENT SOLUTION

After filling the solution tank with clean water add the liquid detergent to the tank in the concentration 

and manner indicated on the detergent manufacturer's label. To prevent the formation of an excessive 

amount of foam that could damage the vacuum motor, use the minimum percentage of detergent 

required.

CAUTION

: protective gloves should always be worn before handling detergents or acidic or 

alkaline solutions, to avoid serious injury to the hands.

ATTENTION

: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates their suitability for 

scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this indication.

ATTENTION

: always use low-foam detergent. To avoid the production of foam, put a minimum 

quantity of antifoam liquid in the recovery tank before starting to clean. Do not use pure acids.

ATTENTION

: The filler cap can be used as measuring device for the detergent to be added to 

the solution tank; the cap features moulded notches identifying the percentage of detergent, 

ranging from a minimum of 0.1% to a maximum of 0.5%.

For versions with HDC, fill the solution tank with clean water and then proceed as follows:

1.  Make sure the machine is in a safe condition (read “

SECURING THE MACHINE

”).

CAUTION

: protective gloves should always be worn before handling detergents or acidic or 

alkaline solutions, to avoid serious injury to the hands.

2.  Remove the detergent tank cap (1) (

Fig.1

).

3.  Fill the tank with the required detergent.

NOTE

: there is a level indicator (2) in the rear left part of the detergent tank (

Fig.1

).

ATTENTION

: always use detergents whose manufacturer's label indicates their suitability for 

scrubbing machines. Do not use acid or alkaline products or solvents without this indication.
