NOISE AND VIBRATION 

MACHINE INSPECTION 

  Now that the machine is unpacked remember to 

recycle all packing materials. 

  Inspect the machine for damage or missing    

components.  If damage is found, contact the local 
freight company to file a freight claim. 

MACHINE COMPONENTS

 

Solution Tank 

The solution tank is the lower part of the machine body 
and has a capacity of 

16 gal (60.5 L)

  The amount of water in the tank is measured in the 

plastic tube at the right rear of the tank. The solution 
tank is emptied through the clear plastic tube at the 
right rear of the tank. 

Recovery Tank 

The recovery tank is the upper part of the machine body 
and has a capacity of 

17 gal (64.3 L)

  A round clearview lid assembly closes off the 

recovery tank’s opening. 

  The recovery tank has a foam sensitive float shut-off 

assembly.  As the water level rises, the float ball will 
rise into the tube and shut of the airflow of the 
vacuum.  NOTE:  The float shut-off assembly does 

not

 shut off the vacuum motor. 

Operator Control Panel 

The operator control panel is located at the upper rear 
area of the machine.  This panel has components that 
control various machine functions. 

  The toggle switch on the left controls the brush motor. 

  The toggle switch on the right controls the vacuum 

motor. 

  The red button is the master power switch; it controls 

the power to all components.  Power on, is indicated 
by the Battery Meter. 

Battery Meter 

The battery meter is located on the left side of the 
operator control panel and shows the state of charge of 
batteries during operation. 
The battery meter is equipped with a relay that will 
open, turning off the machine, when the battery voltage 
has dropped to its lowest permissible level. 

  When the batteries are fully charged, all of the LED’s 

are illuminated. 

  As the batteries discharge, the LED’s start to turn off, 

one at a time, from right to left. 

  When the last yellow LED on the left starts blinking, 

there is only a few minutes of runtime left before the 
machine is automatically turned off.  NOW is the time 

to turn off the brushes and vacuum motor, and drive 
to the battery charging area. 

  If the machine is operated until it is automatically shut 

off, turn off the master switch, the brush switch, and 
the vac switch.  Then turn on the master switch, and 
the machine can be driven to a charging location 
(wheel drive models only). 

Circuit Breaker 

  The circuit breakers are located to the left of the 

handle grips. 

  The right circuit breaker is for the vacuum motor. 

  The left circuit breaker is for the brush motor. 

Wheel Drive models: 

  The center circuit breaker is for the drive motor. 

  In the middle of the panel are two (2) rubber twist 

grips.  These grips rotate forward and backward to 
control the direction and speed of the machine.  The 
farther the grips are rotated, the faster the machine 
will move.  These twist grips have a feature that 
returns the machine to the neutral position when the 
handles are released. 

Solution Control (Valve) Lever 

  The solution control lever is located on the left rear 

side of the machine.  This lever controls the solution 
valve and the amounts of liquid put on the floor when 
cleaning.  

Pull up

 on the handle to 

open

 the valve.  

Push down

 on the handle to 

close

 the valve.  The 

control lever can be placed in notches to maintain 
desired flow between the open and closed position. 

 

Solution Filter Assembly 

  Attached to the solution control valve is a canister 

strainer designed to stop debris from entering the 
solution solenoid valve. 

  If the solution stops flowing to the brush, close the 

solution control valve and unscrew the canister bowl 
(by hand), remove and clean the screen. 

Battery Compartment Drain Hose 

This hose is tucked up under the lower right side of the 
control panel.  The spilled liquids from the battery 
compartment collect in it.  A pinch clamp is used to hold 
it closed. 

  Inspect the hose for liquid level on a weekly basis. 

  Dispose of liquids according to your local and federal 

regulations. 

Brush Gear Motor 

This machine has a 24-volt brush motor located at the 
front of the machine.  The motor is attached to a 
gearbox to turn the pad driver or brush. 

  The right lift arm is used to raise or lower the brush 

motor to and from transport, float, or heavy scrub 
positions. 

  This motor has carbon brushes that must be serviced 

on a regular basis.  The carbon brushes have an 
expected life of 2,000 operating hours. Refer to the 
maintenance section later in this book. 

Vacuum Motor 

This machine has a 24-volt vacuum motor.
