Wrangler 2016 AB, Operation Manual

Operating the Machine 

The Wrangler 2016 has the brush motor offset to the 
right side of the machine.  This offset allows you to 
clean the edge of a floor or an obstructed area (walls or 
shelving) with the right side of the machine. 

Normal Cleaning 



  Sweep and dust mop the floor to remove dirt and 

debris before scrubbing.  Accumulations of dirt or 
debris on the floor will reduce cleaning performance. 



  You may also need to preclean some types of spills 

or stains before scrubbing. 



  Plan your work so that you make long, straight paths 

with the fewest amount of turns possible, overlapping 
each cleaning path about 2 in. (5 cm.) to prevent 
streaking and dirty areas.



  Move machine to area to be cleaned. 



  Place “Wet Floor” warning signs in area. 



  Turn on master switch. 



  Turn on vacuum motor switch. 



  Lower the brush motor and squeegee assembly into 

the operating position on the floor.   



  AB Models - The brush motor is turned on and off 

with the brush switch on the control panel. 



  DB Models - The brush motor will automatically turn 

on when moving either forward or backwards. 



  Lift solution valve handle to start liquid flow to floor.  

Adjust amount of flow as needed.  Close the solution 
valve completely 10 ft (3 m) before you turn at the 
end of your cleaning path.  This will reduce the 
amount of liquid on the floor when you make your 
turn.   



  Reopen the solution valve when starting the next 

pass.  Repeat this procedure for each pass. 



  NOTE: Solution will not flow until brush turns on. 



  Watch the level of liquid in the recovery tank and 

listen for the float shut-off to change the sound of the 
vac motor.  When the vacuum airflow stops, you must 
turn off the vacuum motor and empty the recovery 
tank. 



  Take the machine to an approved disposal drain and 

turn off all switches. 



  Pull the flexible rubber drain hose out from behind the 

brush motor.  Raise the end of the hose above the 
level of the recovery tank, loosen and remove the 
hose drain plug.  Carefully direct the drain hose into 
the drain. 



  When the recovery tank is empty, replace and tighten 

the drain plug.  Place the drain hose back behind the 
brush motor.  

Do not

 obstruct the lift mechanism or 

brush motor. 

Special Cleaning 

This machine may be used to perform special cleaning 
jobs other than “normal” scrubbing. 

Double scrubbing 



  This procedure provides deeper cleaning on heavily 

soiled floors.  One or more cleaning passes are made 
before picking up the chemicals with the squeegee.  

This allows dwell time. Best results are achieved by 
placing the brush motor in the heavy scrub position.  

Caution: 

The floor surface becomes extremely slippery 

in this operation.  This machine should be operated only 
in slow to medium speed and great care should be 
taken when walking on this wet surface. 

 Stripping 



  This procedure is used to remove moderate build-up 

of floor finish from the floor.  The most aggressive 
pads or brushes are used in this procedure.   



  The stripper solution is applied to the floor with a mop 

and then double scrubbed as described above. 

Stripping solution should not be put into the solution 
tank.  Clean water from the solution tank is applied to 
the floor to keep the chemicals and finish in a “liquid” 
condition.  The floor surface becomes extremely 
slippery in this operation. This machine should be 
operated only in slow to medium speed and great 
care should be taken when walking on this wet 
surface. 

MACHINE MAINTENANCE

Routine maintenance is critical to ensure proper 
machine operation and cleaning performance. Perform 
all maintenance procedures as follows. 

Always turn OFF all machine switches before 
performing any maintenance. 

Adjusting the squeegee assembly:



  Turn the vacuum motor ON and open the water valve 

slightly. 



  Squeegee blades should lie over slightly (like a 

window squeegee) when the machine is moving. 



  If adjustment is required adjust the blade angle by 

turning the wing nut on the squeegee mount.  

Daily Maintenance 

Battery Charging 



The master power switch and all other switches 
must be turned OFF. 



  You must recharge the batteries when indicated by the 

battery meter, and after every use.  Read the battery 
meter while the machine is in use. 
*235 AH batteries require 8-12 hours to fully charge. 



  Determine which Battery Charger you have - then see 

the Operating Instructions for that Charger. 



NSS-Pro Charging:  LED’s & metal housing 



SPE – digital display and plastic housing. 

Battery Electrolyte (liquid) Level (Flooded only) 

Inspect the electrolyte level of at least one cell in each 
battery before daily charging.  The liquid must be visible 
above the internal plates.  Do not charge the batteries if 
the liquid is below the plates. 



NEVER

 let the electrolyte level fall below the tops of 

the plates.  This will damage the batteries 
immediately, and void the warrantee. 



  Add only distilled water to the cell of a battery to adjust 

the liquid level. 

Do not

 use well or tap water.
