FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL BUTTONS:

The controls were designed with one touch operation in mind.  For single pass scrubbing the user can simply depress one button and all systems on the 
machine will be ready to go.
For most single-pass scrubbing operations, the operator should only need to use the fi rst three buttons on the control panel.  These are the Scrub Off (25)
Normal Scrub (26), and Heavy Scrub (27) buttons.  For this reason these buttons are outlined in bright white on the control panel while the other buttons are 
outlined in a darker color.
Horn Button (22) - Pressing this button will activate the horn.
Scrub Off Button (25) - Pressing this button when the unit is in a scrub mode will cause the following to occur:
• 

The scrub brushes will turn off

• 

The scrub deck will raise to the UP position

• The 

solution 

fl ow will be stopped

• The 

fi rst time that this button is pressed, the vacuum/squeegee system will NOT be turned off.  This is so that any remaining water may be picked up 

without having to turn the vacuum back on.  If this button is pressed a second time (pressed after the scrub mode has been turned off) the squeegee will 
raise and the vacuum will shut off after a 6 second delay.

Normal Scrub Button (26) - Pressing the normal scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the last selected value for the nor-
mal scrub mode. The status display will momentarily display the scrub pressure setting. This is indicated by “PA” followed by a number.  Subsequent presses 
of the normal scrub button will step the pad pressure setting through the allowable range up to the maximum value programmed for the normal scrub mode.  
Once the maximum value is reached the pressure setting will step back to 1.  The factory default maximum for the normal scrub mode is 4.  The following will 
occur when this button is pressed:
• 

The scrub deck will be lowered

• 

The vacuum and solution systems will be enabled (vacuum and solution modes = AUTO)

• 

As soon as a direction is commanded by the throttle (forward or reverse) the brushes will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction is 
forward, the squeegee will lower and the solution fl ow will start. If the direction is reverse, the squeegee will go to the up position and the solution fl ow will 
be stopped.

Heavy Scrub Button (27) - Pressing the heavy scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the last selected value for the heavy 
scrub mode.  The status display will momentarily display the scrub pressure setting.  This is indicated by “PA” followed by a number.  Subsequent presses 
of the heavy scrub button will step the pad pressure setting through the allowable range up to the maximum value programmed for the heavy scrub mode.  
Once the maximum value is reached the pressure setting will step back to (normal scrub limit + 1).  The factory default maximum for the heavy scrub mode is 
7 (cylindrical) or 9 (disc).  The following will occur when this button is pressed:
• 

The scrub deck will be lowered

• 

The vacuum and solution systems will be enabled (vacuum and solution modes = AUTO)

• 

As soon as a direction is commanded by the throttle (forward or reverse) the brushes will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction is 
forward, the squeegee will lower and the solution fl ow will start. If the direction is reverse, the squeegee will go to the up position and the solution fl ow will 
be stopped.

Vacuum Button (29) - This button is used to select the mode of operation for the vacuum/squeegee system.  There are 3 modes of operation for this system.  
These modes are OFF, AUTO, ON. Following is a description of each mode and how they are selected.
OFF MODE:  In this mode the vacuum is off and the squeegee is in the up position.  As mentioned above, when a scrub mode is selected, the vacuum 
system will be placed in the AUTO mode.  If it is desired to double-scrub (scrub without recovering the solution) the vacuum system can be turned off by 
pressing this button.
AUTO MODE:  This mode is automatically selected when a scrub mode is selected.  In this mode the squeegee will be in the down position unless the re-
verse direction is selected via the throttle.  The vacuum will turn on if either direction is selected. While in this mode the vacuum will remain on for 10 seconds 
after the throttle returns to the neutral position.  This is so that the solution in the squeegee and hose can be drawn into the tank.  This mode can be selected 
independently of the scrub mode by pressing and releasing the vacuum button.
ON MODE:  In this mode the squeegee will remain in the UP position and the vacuum will be on regardless of the throttle position.  This mode is selected 
by pressing and holding the vacuum button for approximately 1.5 seconds.  The vacuum mode must fi rst be OFF before entering this mode.  This mode is 
included in the event an external wand is to be used with this machine or if the operator wants to clean the squeegee using the vacuum hose.
Solution Button (30) - This button is used to select the mode of operation for the solution system.  There are 3 modes of operation for this system.  The 
modes are OFF, AUTO, MOMENTARY ON.  Following is a description of each mode and how they are selected.
OFF MODE:  In this mode the solution fl ow is turned off.  As mentioned above, when a scrub mode is selected, the solution system will be placed in the 
AUTO mode.  If it is desired to scrub without dispensing solution, the solution can be turned off by pressing this button.
AUTO MODE:  This mode is automatically selected when a scrub mode is selected.  In this mode the solution fl ow will be turned on whenever the forward 
direction is selected via the throttle.  The solution fl ow will be turned off otherwise.
MOMENTARY ON MODE:  This mode can only be selected when the scrub mode is OFF.  Solution can be dispensed by pressing and holding the solution 
button.  Solution will be dispensed for as long as the button is held.  This is for pre-wetting the fl oor prior to scrubbing.
Presweep Dust Control Button (opt / 39) - Use this button in conjunction with the optional presweep kit.  The dust control feature will only work when the 
brooms are running on the presweep unit.
Sweep System Control Button (2042 / BR 1100C-XL only) (43) - Use this button to turn the sweep system ON or OFF.  The side brooms will only run when 
the scrub system is ON and the machine is in motion (not in neutral).  If the scrub system is turned OFF while the sweep system is still ON, the side brooms 
will automatically lower and run the next time the scrub system is turned ON.
Side Broom Wear Adjustment Lever (2042 / BR 1100C-XL only) (44) - Use this adjustment lever to periodically re-adjust the down limit of the side brooms 
as they wear.  Loosening the lever, sliding it to the left and re-tightening it will cause the side brooms to drop closer to the fl oor.
Operator Seat Adjustment Lever (45) – Use this lever to slide the operator’s seat forward or backward.
