The Scrubtec uses one brush (rotary) to scrub a path 17" or 20" wide or 2 brushes (cylindrical) to scrub
a path 17" wide. A squeegee wipes the floor while the vacuum motor removes the dirty solution from the
floor - all in one pass.
The Scrubtec rotary comes complete with two - 12 volt batteries, one battery charger, either one brush or
one pad driver, and one operator’s manual.
The Scrubtec cylindrical comes complete with two - 12 volt batteries, one battery charger, two brushes,
and one operator’s manual.

Key Switch (See Figure 3, Item "B")
The key switch is standard on the "L" models. It is used
primarily for preventing unauthorized use by removing
the key. To turn the control panel "ON", the key switch
must be turned clockwise and then the green "ON"
button must be pressed (see item "C"). To turn the
control panel "OFF", turn the key switch counterclockwise.
ON/OFF Buttons (See Figure 3, Item "C")
Pressing the green button turns "ON" the power to the
control panel (if the machine is equipped with a key
switch, first turn the key clockwise). Pressing the red
button turns "OFF" power to the control panel (if the
machine is equipped with a key switch, the power can
also be turned "OFF" by turning the key counterclockwise.)
NOTE: The "L model" machine is equipped with self
diagnostics and will sometimes fail to operate if a fault
is detected. Once the fault is corrected the machine can
be reset by turning the power "OFF" and turning it back
"ON". If this fails to correct the problem, contact your
authorized service personnel immediately.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with a battery power
saving device. If the machine is unattended for more

Traverse Speed Knob (See Figure 3, Item "F")
To increase speed, turn knob clockwise. The machine
will not traverse when the knob is turned fully counterclockwise.
Forward/Reverse Switch (See Figure 3, Item "G")
On Traverse "L" Models Only - The forward/reverse
switch starts the traverse motor forward and when the
brush head is in the down or scrub position it also
activates the brush motor(s) and solution flow. There is
a two second delay for the brush motor(s) to stop after
releasing the switch. Either the right or the left switch
can be used. Use either switch in conjunction with the
white reverse switch to reverse the traverse motor.
"S" Model - On the non-traverse models these
switches activate the brush motor(s) and solution flow
when the brush head is in the down or scrub position.

Battery Maintenance
The electrical power to operate the machine comes from
the storage batteries. Storage batteries need preventative maintenance.
To maintain the batteries in good condition, follow these
instructions.
1. Keep the electrolyte at the correct level. The
correct level is between 1/4" (1/2 cm) below the
bottom of the tube in each cell and above the tops
of the plates. Check the level of the electrolyte
each time you charge the batteries. See figure 14.
Correct Level
NOTE: Check the level of electrolyte prior to charging the
batteries. Be sure the plates in each cell are covered
with electrolyte before charging. Do not top off the cells
prior to charging the battery. Electrolyte expands during
charging. As a result, the electrolyte could overflow from
the cells. Always top off the cells with distilled water
after charging.
CAUTION: Irreversible damage will occur to
the batteries if electrolyte does not
cover the plates. Keep the electrolyte at the correct level.
CAUTION: Machine damage and discharge
across the tops of the batteries can
occur if the batteries are over filled.
Do not fill the batteries up to the
bottom of the tube in each cell.
Wipe any acid from the machine or
the tops of the batteries. Never add
acid to a battery after installation.
CAUTION: Batteries must be refilled with
distilled water only. Do not use tap
water as it may contain contaminants that will damage batteries.
2. Keep the tops of the batteries clean and dry. Keep
the terminals and connectors clean. To clean the
top of the batteries, use a damp cloth with a weak
solution of ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution. To clean the terminals and connectors, use a
terminal and connector cleaning tool. Do not allow
ammonia or bicarbonate of soda to get into batteries.
Figure 14
Figure 15
3. Keep the batteries charged.
4. To drain the battery compartment: See Figure 15.
a. Always wear eye protection and protective
clothing.
b. Add a weak solution of ammonia or bicarbonate
of soda solution to the battery compartment to
neutralize any spilled acid.
c . Pull drain hose out from under the transaxle.
d. Place your hand behind flange and open the
valve.
e. When empty, close valve.
