Procedures for Loading, Transporting, and Unloading
Automatic Floor Scrubber
The machine is very heavy, so be very careful when loading,
transporting, and unloading the machine. Use at least two people
to load or unload the machine.
xLoading Procedure Using a Ramp with a Traction Drive Scrubber
oRamp must be long enough so that climb into van, truck, or trailer is no more than 20
degrees. (This would permit a height of 2’4” for a 7-foot ramp, 2’8” for an 8-foot ramp,
and 3’0” for a 9-foot ramp).
oA short “pre-ramp” may be needed to prevent pad drivers from dragging.
oRamp must be secured to vehicle, and be clean and dry.
oRemove squeegee assembly and pad drivers.
oMachine must be driven straight up the ramp and never at an angle.
xLoading Procedure Using a Ramp with a Brush Drive Scrubber
oIt is not recommended that a brush drive scrubber be loaded using a ramp with an
incline of more than 7 degrees. The machine is not self-propelled and therefore it is
not able to assist itself up a ramp. It is too heavy to manually push up a steep incline.
oIf you must load with a ramp, the incline must be no more than 7 degrees. (This would
permit a height of no more than one foot for an 8-foot ramp).
oRamp must be secured to vehicle, and be clean and dry.
oRemove squeegee assembly and pad drivers.
oMachine must be driven straight up the ramp and never at an angle.
xLoading Procedure Using a Lift Gate
oLift gate must have ample capacity to lift the scrubber
oLift gate must be long enough to accommodate scrubber in the direction that it will be
loaded onto the van. Do not load scrubber sideways, because it is dangerous to turn
the scrubber while on the lift gate.
oWheels must be firmly chocked to prevent scrubber from rolling off the lift gate.
xSecuring Scrubber
oScrubber must be secured, so that it will not roll or turn over. Use chocks and tie
downs to secure scrubber.
oPlease be aware that a scrubber is very heavy, and that a metal bulkhead in a van
may not contain scrubber in the event of an accident. The equipment in a van can be
more dangerous than the accident itself.
xUnloading Procedure Using a Ramp with a Traction Drive Scrubber
oRamp must be long enough so that removal can be controlled. Use same height
restrictions as used for loading scrubber.
oRamp must be secured to vehicle, and be clean and dry.
oA small pre-ramp may be needed to prevent pad drivers from dragging.
oMachine must be driven straight down the ramp and never at an angle.
oUse slow forward speed to slow descent as needed.
xUnloading Procedure Using a Ramp with a Brush Drive Scrubber
oRamp must be long enough so that removal can be controlled. Use same height
restrictions as used for loading scrubber.
oRamp must be secured to vehicle, and be clean and dry.
oMachine must be driven straight down the ramp and never at an angle.
oDo not let machine run over you or anyone else as it comes off ramp.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
xTo receive the longest life from the batteries, charge them when they have between
25% and 50% of a full charge.
xDo not allow batteries to remain in a discharged state for very long, as this shortens
the total battery life.
xBe aware that a discharged battery will freeze easily.
xCheck the electrolyte level weekly. Top off with distilled water as shown in figure 2.
Do not overfill. Make sure that all plugs are tight.
xMake sure battery connections are tight and free from corrosion. A baking soda and
water solution and a wire brush are helpful when cleaning battery connections.
Keep caps on when cleaning batteries, so that electrolyte is not contaminated.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Before starting work
xInspect pads for wear. Replace if needed.
xTurn on brush motors and check battery indicator gauge to assure that there is
enough charge to scrub floor.
After you are finished using scrubber for the day
xRaise squeegee and leave up.
xRaise brushes and leave up.
xDrain and rinse recovery tank, including vacuum shut-off float. Wipe top of tank
clean.
xClean vacuum intake screen. A small wire brush works well for this.
xWipe down recovery tank lid and lid gaskets.
xDrain and rinse solution tank (especially if using something other than a very mild
scrubbing solution).
xCharge batteries, if needed. Remember batteries have a longer life if allowed to
xCheck electrolyte level in batteries. See “Battery Maintenance” page for instructions.
xClean and lubricate caster wheels and caster swivel. There are grease fittings to use
a grease gun. Note: Main 10” wheels do not require lubricating. (They have sealed
ball bearings that cannot be lubricated).
xWipe surface of machine clean. A silicone product such as “Armor All” will make the
plastic parts look really good.
Monthly maintenance
xClean battery connections and tops of batteries. See “Battery Maintenance” page for
instructions.
xInspect scrub brushes for wear (If you have scrub brushes).
xGeneral visual inspection for problems.
Semi-annual maintenance
xInspect carbon brush wear in brush motors.
xLubricate all pivot points with a light oil. Porous bushings will absorb some oil to
distribute over time.
xLubricate brush lift arm sliding surface with a heavy grease. This is located behind
the back panel. Bearing grease may be used.
As needed items
xAdjust squeegee tilt. See “Squeegee Information” page.
xTurn, flip, or replace squeegee blade for streak free pickup.
x Replace intake screen and intake screen gasket.

SQUEEGEE INFORMATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
SQUEEGEE MUST BE ATTACHED
TO SCRUBBER FOR PROPER
ADJUSTMENT OF TILT AND
BLADE DEFLECTION
(a) USE 1/4" HEX KEY
(b) USE 9/16" HEX
WRENCH OR
SOCKET
(c) HOLE IN REINFORCING BLADE IS SHOWN
TURNED UPWARD, WHICH IS THE POSITION
WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE MOST DEFLECTION
OF THE MAIN SQUEEGEE BLADE
Problem: Squeegee is leaving streaks at the center or the ends.
Cause
: Squeegee is not level. If it is not level, it will streak in the center or at the ends.
Solution
not leaving streaks. Adjust squeegee tilt as follows:
Step 1: Loosen (a) and (b)
Step 2: Tilt squeegee in direction needed for squeegee to deflect uniformly along entire length.
Step 3: Tighten (a) and (b) enough to hold temporarily.
Step 4: Move scrubber forward to check that deflection is uniform.
Step 5: If correct, tighten (a) and (b) as much as you can; or if not correct, start over at step 1.
Problem
Cause
(2) Blade edge is worn or nicked
Solution
(2) Turn the blade. All four edges can be used. If all edges have been used, then replace the
main squeegee blade.
Problem
Cause
Solution
toward floor. Longer side has a hole (c) at center. Facing the hole down makes the main
blade stiffer and allows it to deflect less. Hole turned upward allows blade to deflect more.
: Make sure that the tips and the center of main squeegee blade are uniformly deflected and
: Squeegee is leaving streaks not related to squeegee being level.
: (1) Trash under main squeegee blade.
: (1) Clear trash.
: Main squeegee blade is deflecting too much or too little.
: Reinforcing blade is turned wrong for the floor conditions.
: Holes on the reinforcing blade are offset. Blade can be flipped to put longer or shorter side

OPERATING TIPS AND MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
FLOOR SCRUBBING TIP
xDouble scrubbing can be a very effective way to clean a floor. This especially important
before coating with finish, as you do not want to wax in any dirt.
xTo double scrub do the following:
xScrub the floor as normal, but leave the squeegee up and the vacuum off.
xScrub a few aisles ahead while letting the floor soak.
xThen go back over what you have wet down, but this time with the
squeegee down and the vacuum on. This will get the floor much cleaner
than a single pass scrub.
Note: Do not double scrub where non-floor cleaning personnel will be walking, since the floor
stays wet and is therefore hazardous.
SQUEEGEE OPERATING TIPS
xThe curved squeegee picks up solution very well if properly adjusted. The squeegee must
be level to work well. If it is not level, it will streak in the center or at the ends. Make sure
that the tips and the center are uniformly deflected and not leaving streaks. If squeegee is
not level, then loosen the two bolts on squeegee bracket and squeegee will pivot forward
and backward. Level squeegee and tighten bolts.
xIf squeegee is properly adjusted and is leaving streaks, then there may be trash caught
under the main squeegee blade. A little trick that will clear most trash is to (1) stop the
scrubber, (2) lift the squeegee, (3) back up a little, (4) lower the squeegee, and then (5)
resume scrubbing as usual. If this does not work, then the trash must be cleared by hand.
xSee “Squeegee Information and Adjustments” page for more information.
IF SCRUBBER IS USED FOR PICKING UP WAX AND STRIPPER
xThe scrubber can be used to vacuum the emulsified wax and stripper from a floor strip. But,
be aware that more upkeep will be required on the scrubber than if it were used only for
scrubbing, since the wax and dirt will remain after the stripper evaporates. So, after using
scrubber on a floor strip do the following.
xDisconnect vacuum hose from squeegee and vacuum clean water through vacuum
hose.
xRinse out recovery tank, including letting clean water run out dump hose.
xClean squeegee.
xClean top of recovery tank.
xClean recovery lid and gasket on recovery lid.
xDrain solution tank and flush lines with clean water. (If you have stripper in the
solution tank, you do not want it on the floor if the next job the scrubber is used on is
just a scrub).
xWipe down anywhere where wax slop has gotten on scrubber.
EXPOSING SCRUBBER TO FREEZING TEMPERTURES
xDo NOT leave scrubber in freezing temperatures
xIf scrubber must
precautions must be taken. If an attempt is made to close (or open) the
solution valve when it is frozen, the solution cable or solution valve will be damaged.
xDrain Solution Tank and leave solution valve open
xRecovery Tank must also be drained.
xThen after the scrubber is inside place to be used, do not yet attempt to
shut the solution valve. You must first check to make sure that the solution
valve is not frozen. Run hot water into solution tank. After water is running
out the bottom of the machine (the brush area), then shut off solution valve
(do not force the solution valve control handle). You can then fill solution
tank and use the scrubber.

Operating Procedures
(See page 19 for guide to item numbers)
xBatteries need to be in the operating range (the green area) of the battery
condition meter (item 2). Gauge will register battery condition when brush motors
(Brush Motor Control Switch, item 6) are turned on. Turn off brush motors after
battery condition is determined.
xLift solution lid (item A) and add water and liquid cleaner to solution tank (item B).
Consult cleaner instructions for proper ratio of cleaner and water (Note: the
solution tank holds 24 gallons when full).
xTake scrubber to area to be cleaned
oTraction Scrubber
Make sure that squeegee and brushes are off the floor.
Turn variable speed control knob (item 8) all the way
counterclockwise.
Turn on traction switch (item 9).
Squeeze forward control lever (item 1) if scrubber needs to go
forward and reverse control lever if scrubber needs to be moved
backward.
Gradually increase variable speed control knob (item 8) until
scrubber attains the needed speed.
Release lever to stop.
oBrush Drive Scrubber
Lift squeegee and brushes off the floor.
Push scrubber to desired location.
xLower brushes by depressing brush lift pedal (item 13) and then push in on brush
lift and pressure lever (item 11), and gradually let brushes drop to contact with
floor by slowly lift foot off brush lift pedal (item 13). (Note that the brushes can be
lowered using only the brush lift and pressure lever (item 11)).
xLower squeegee using the squeegee lift lever (item 18) and turn on vacuum
using the vacuum motor control switch (item 7).
xTurn on solution by adjusting cleaning solution control lever (item 17) to desired
flow rate (the flow rate can be adjusted as the need arises).
xTurn on brushes using the brush control switch (item 6) and immediately move
scrubber forward.
oTraction Scrubber – adjust speed as needed with the variable speed
control knob (item 8).
oBrush Drive Scrubber – push to desired speed. There is no need to keep
the forward control lever depressed. The brush drive scrubber should
move easily by pushing alone.
