12. To stop scrubbing, select the

Transport mode

. This will automatically stop the

Solution

Flow

, raise the

Scrub deck

, and raise the

Rear squeegee

(there is a 15 second delay

for the vacuum motor).

13. Drive the SCV to a designated dirty water disposal area and empty the Recovery tank.

To empty, remove the

Drain hose

from its storage hanger. Unscrew the plug and hold

the hose end above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of dirty
water. With the plug completely off, carefully direct the water flow to the desired drain.
Reinsert the plug and tighten and return to its storage hanger.

14. The recovery tank should be rinsed out to remove solids in the tank. Open the

Cleanout

cap

to remove the

Stopper

plug.

Tilt the recovery tank (similar to accessing the

batteries) and clean the sludge that has settled in the sump area by either back flushing
or by scraping it out. Be sure to tightly secure the

Stopper

plug

and cleanout cap before

continuing to operate the scrubber.

15. Refill the solution tank and continue scrubbing until the job is done or when the machine

runs out of power.

The

battery gauge LEDs

will flash to signal the operator that the machine is almost out

of power. Once this signal is displayed to the operator,

all functions will shut off

(brush

will turn off and the scrub deck will raise up, water flow will cease, the rear squeegee will
raise up and the vacuum motor will turn off) including the transport mode. The operator
has to turn the

key switch OFF and then, ON to reset

the machine.

The machine will

then have only a few minutes left of reserve power to briefly use

Vacuum Only mode

to pick up any remaining solution on the floor and

Transport mode

to return to the

charging station.

1. When finished scrubbing, select the

Transport mode, all functions will shut off

(brush

will turn off and the scrub deck will raise up, water flow will cease, the rear squeegee will
raise up and the vacuum motor will turn off). Drive the machine to a service area for
daily maintenance and review items that may need service.

2. Empty the solution tank, by directly opening the

Garden hose valve

underneath the

machine into a drain on the floor or use a garden hose and attach it to the fitting to
remotely drain the solution tank. Rinse the tank with clean water to prevent any build-up
of dried up chemicals that could cause clogging in the plumbing.

and

4. Remove the

brushes

or pad holders and rinse them in warm water and hang to dry.

5. Remove the

rear

squeegee

, rinse with warm water and reinstall after cleaning.

6. Remove the

side

squeegees

debris box

(cylindrical system only) and clean thoroughly. The debris box can be removed from
either side of the machine by tilting the box up and away from the housing and then
pulling it out. Reinstall the debris box and side squeegees after cleaning.
