JACKING THE MACHINE

CAUTION!

Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.

• When jacking the machine, do so at designated locations - see Tie Down / Jacking Locations (A) in Figure 1.

TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

CAUTION!

Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that . . .

• All access doors are latched securely.

• The machine is tied down securely - see Tie Down / Jacking Locations (A) in Figure 1.

• The machine Parking Brake (28) is set.

TOWING OR PUSHING A DISABLED MACHINE

CAUTION!

The machine’s drive propelling pump is manufactured with an adjustable tow valve. This valve prevents damage to the hydraulic system when the machine is being towed/pushed short distances without use of the engine.

The tow valve is controlled by the Tow Valve Lever (34) which is accessed by opening and propping the Engine Cover (3). Pull The Tow Valve Lever (34) out; this disengages the hydrostatic lock between the motor and pump.

The hydrostatic pump can be damaged if the machine is towed with the valve in the normal working position (Tow Valve Lever (34) pushed IN). Note: If the tow valve is left in free wheeling position (Tow Valve Lever (34) pulled OUT) the hydrostatic pump can’t drive the machine FWD or REV. No damage will result, just reset the valve to the normal working position by pushing the lever IN. Tow or push the machine no faster than a normal walking pace (2-3 miles per hour) and for short distances only. If the machine is to be moved long distances the front drive wheel needs to be raised off the ﬂ oor and placed on a suitable transport dolly.

HYDRAULIC OIL

Open and prop the Engine Cover (3) to access the hydraulic oil reservoir. Remove the Fill Cap (44) from the tank and look to the bottom of the ﬁ ller screen. If the oil level is below the bottom of the ﬁ ller screen, add 10W30 motor oil until the bottom of the ﬁ ller screen is covered (oil level should not be higher than 1/2” (12.7mm) above the bottom of the ﬁ ller screen). Change the oil if major contamination from a mechanical failure occurs.

ENGINE OIL – GASOLINE / PETROL & LPG

Check the engine oil level when the machine is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool. Change the engine oil after the ﬁ rst 35 hours of operation and every 150 hours after that. Use any SF or SG rated oil meeting API speciﬁ cations and suited to seasonal temperatures. Refer to the Engine System section for oil capacities and additional engine speciﬁ cations. Replace the oil ﬁ lter with every oil change.

TEMPERATURE RANGE OIL WEIGHT

Above 60° F (15° C) SAE 10W-30 Below 60° F (15° C) SAE 5W-30

ENGINE OIL - DIESEL

Check the engine oil level when the machine is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool. Change the engine oil after the ﬁ rst 35 hours of operation and every 150 hours after that. Use CF, CF-4 or CG-4 oil meeting API speciﬁ cations and suited temperatures (*important reference the oil/fuel type note below for further diesel oil recommendations). Refer to the Engine System section for oil capacities and additional engine speciﬁ cations. Replace the oil ﬁ lter with every oil change.

DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE (AXP MODELS ONLY)

Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 2.2 gallons (8.32 Liters) of detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Remove the detergent cartridge from the detergent box prior to ﬁ lling to avoid spilling detergent on the machine. It is recommended that a separate cartridge be used for each detergent you plan to use. The detergent cartridges have a white decal on them so you can write the detergent name on each cartridge to avoid mixing them up. When installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (A) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (B) as shown. The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Move machine over ﬂ oor drain before purging because a small amount of detergent will be dispensed in the process.

To Purge When Changing Chemicals(SCRUB SYSTEM MUST BE OFF):

1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge. 2 Turn the key switch (50) to the RUN (ON) position. Wait a few seconds for the start-up sequence to ﬁ nish. 3 Press and hold the detergent switch (61) for approximately 2 seconds. Release the switch when the chemical purge icon (E) appears on the display and the indicator on the

detergent switch (61) starts ﬂ ashing. NOTE: Once activated the purge process takes at least 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.

To Purge Weekly(SCRUB SYSTEM MUST BE OFF):

1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge. Install and connect a Cartridge ﬁ lled with clean hot water. 2 Turn the key switch (50) to the RUN (ON) position. Wait a few seconds for the start-up sequence to ﬁ nish. 3 Press and hold the detergent switch (61) for approximately 2 seconds. Release the switch when the chemical purge icon (E) appears on the display and the indicator on the

The Detergent Box (C) has Detergent Level Viewing Slots (D) for referencing the amount of detergent remaining in the cartridge(s). When the detergent level is nearing the bottom of this slot it is time to reﬁ ll or replace the cartridge(s).

Detergent Ratio (SCRUB SYSTEM MUST BE ON):

The detergent mixture rate may be adjusted by pressing and holding the detergent switch (61) for two seconds. Release the switch once the detergent switch light begins ﬂ ashing. While the light is ﬂ ashing, pressing and releasing the detergent switch will select the next detergent mixture. Once the desired mix is selected the detergent system will return to normal operation within three seconds.

Once set, the detergent ﬂ ow rate automatically increases and decreases with the solution ﬂ ow rate but the detergent ratio remains the same. If an operator would prefer the ﬂ exibility of setting different detergent dilutions ratios for different solution ﬂ ow rates this speciﬁ c programming can be found in the service manual. During scrubbing, the detergent system can be turned off at any time by pressing the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (61) to allow scrubbing with water only. No detergent is dispensed until the scrub system is activated and the Drive Pedal (29) pushed forward. SERVICE NOTE: Follow the “To Purge Weekly” instructions above if the machine is going to be stored for an extended period of time or if you (AXP) system.

The detergent mixture  (F) will be displayed for approximately 10 seconds each time the scrub mode changes or each time the detergent switch is pressed.

SCRUBBING

WARNING!

Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions. While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills.

To Scrub...

Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual. Start the engine following the instructions in the appropriate “Starting the … Engine” section.

1 See Figure 5. While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (18 & 27). 2 Release the Parking Brake (28). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal (29) to go forward or the rear of

the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.

3 Press the Solution Switch (56) and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the ﬂ oor. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring of the ﬂ oor surface when starting to scrub with dry brushes.

This must be done prior to pressing the Scrub ON Switch (54).

4 Press the Scrub ON Switch (54) once for Light Scrub (1), twice for Medium Scrub (2) or three times for Heavy Scrub (3) mode. Both the solution ﬂ ow and detergent (AXP

models) ﬂ ow have 3 presets that coincide with the 3 scrub modes (see Display Panel (64)). The right side scrub brush pressure is also affected when pressing this switch. NOTE: The solution ﬂ ow rate can be overridden simply by pressing the Solution Flow Decrease or Increase Switches (56a / 56b). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution ﬂ ow rate to correspond with the scrub pressure. NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum, detergent (AXP models) and side broom(s) / brush systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON Switch (54) is pressed. Any individual system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing. If you have installed the Extended Scrub Kit, it will not be automatically activated. You must press the Extended Scrub Switch (60) to activate this system. The Extended Scrub system will not turn ON until the water level in the recovery tank reaches a certain level and the clean solution has been used up.

5 When the Scrub ON Switch (54) is selected, the brushes, squeegee and side broom(s) / brush are automatically lowered to the ﬂ oor. The scrub, solution, vacuum, detergent

(AXP models) and side broom(s) / brush systems all start when the Drive Pedal (29) is activated. NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises and the solution ﬂ ow will stop.

6 Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3” (5.08-7.62cm). Adjust the machine speed and solution

ﬂ ow when necessary according to the condition of the ﬂ oor.

The side broom height can be adjusted by pressing the Side Broom DOWN and UP Switches (53a/53b). The side broom(s) will return to the last used position each time the

sweep system is turned on. The side brooms have a misting function (Dust Guard) (52) for use in dusty conditions. NOTE: The “Dust Guard” (52) comes on automatically with the Side Brooms (53) but can be turned OFF by pressing (52). NOTE: If equipped with Extended Scrub, the “Dust Guard” will shut off when the machine runs out of clean solution.

CAUTION!

To avoid damaging the ﬂ oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning (the brushes will turn OFF after a 2 second delay when the drive pedal is placed in the neutral position). Raise scrub deck and side scrub brush, if so equipped, when crossing speed bumps. Do not attempt to operate the scrub deck or side brush in the down position when crossing speed bumps. Hydraulic pressure pushes down on the brushes and attempting to operate in the scrub mode over a speed bump can cause damage to the machine.

7 When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine, you may be dispensing too

much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.

8 For extremely dirty ﬂ oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “double-scrub” operation may be required. This operation is the same as a one-pass

scrubbing except on the ﬁ rst pass the squeegee is in the up position (press the Vacuum Switch (57) to raise the squeegee). This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the ﬂ oor to work longer. The Side Skirts (13 & 31) can also be raised for double scrubbing if needed with the Skirt Holders (20). The ﬁ nal pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee and skirts lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.

9 The recovery tank has a ﬂ oat switch that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this ﬂ oat switch is activated, the

recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the ﬂ oat switch activated.

NOTE: The Attention Indicator Light (66) will light up YELLOW and the Recovery Full Icon (66e) will display when the ﬂ oat switch is activated. If the control repeatedly gives a

full indication when the tank is not full check to make sure the ﬂ oat moves freely.

10 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing, press the Scrub OFF Switch (55) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes, side broom(s) / brush, solution ﬂ ow and

detergent ﬂ ow. The scrub deck and side broom(s) / brush will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay (this is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on).

11 Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (9) from its storage area, then remove the plug

(hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled ﬂ ow of waste water). The Recovery Tank Drain Hose (9) can be squeezed to regulate the ﬂ ow. Reﬁ ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.

NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (4) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (9) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.

SERVICE NOTE: Refer to the service manual for optional programmability.
