OPTIONS
SCRUB ATTACHMENT
The scrub attachment accessory gives the machine
the added flexibility to scrub floors. It consists of
three groups of parts --- the scrub attachment, the
side scrub brush and squeegee, and the rear
squeegee. The scrub attachment includes two
solution tanks, a solution distribution system, three
scrub brushes, a recovery tank, and a debris hopper.
SOLUTION TANKS
The two solution tanks supply the scrub brush with a
water and detergent solution. They are located in the
top right and left sides of the scrub attachment.
Access to the tanks is through the solution tank
covers on the top of the scrub attachment.
The solution tanks require no regular maintenance. If
detergent cakes on the bottom of the tank, remove
the deposits with a strong blast of water. Do not use
water hotter than 130
_
F (54
_
C) or use steam to
clean the tanks as it will damage them.
SOLUTION DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The solution is distributed by feed lines from the
solution tanks to two cable controlled flow-rate
valves, then to a solution spreader tube.
The solution spreader tube distributes scrub solution
to the scrub brushes. It may be flushed out if it
becomes clogged.
The spreader tube can be removed from the scrub
attachment to be cleaned. Remove the solution
hoses from the spreader tube. Remove the fitting
from one end of the tube and slide the tube out of
the mounting hangers. A brush and hot water may
be needed to remove stubborn clogs. Do not use
water hotter than 130
_
F (54
_
C). A sharp instrument
may be used to clear the small distribution holes in
the spreader tube.
SCRUB BRUSHES
Three scrub brushes are utilized by the scrub
attachment --- the side brush, the main brush, and a
scrub brush located in the scrub attachment. The
side brush scrubs and deflects debris into the path
of the scrub brush. The scrub brush scrubs and
deflects debris backward, the main brush scrubs
and deflects debris into the debris hopper.
The brushes should be inspected daily for damage
or wear. Remove any string or wire found tangled on
the scrub brushes, drive, or idler hubs.
Replace the scrub brushes when the brush bristle is
0.5 in (15 mm) or less in length. To replace the side
brush, see
TO REPLACE SIDE BRUSH
. To replace
the scrub brush, see
TO REPLACE SCRUB BRUSH
.
To replace the main brush, see
TO REPLACE MAIN
BRUSH
.
The scrub brush patterns should be checked daily.
They should be 2 to 3 in (50 to 75 mm) wide. The
scrub brush pattern is adjusted by changing the
position of the clevis on the threaded stud of the lift
linkage. See
TO CHECK AND ADJUST SCRUB
BRUSH PATTERN.
