The SC530 is a walk-behind commercial oor scrubbing machine designed to wash and dry commercial oors. The machine
is powered by on-board batteries. The machine is equipped with a single-disc scrubbing pad, a controlled solution ow dosing
system, and a rear squeegee with vacuum suction. The machine also has an on-board solution tank and wastewater recovery
tank. This machine is not to be used outdoors, on carpets, or on coarse oors.
Service Manual Purpose and Field of Application
This Service Manual is a technical resource intended to aid service personnel in maintaining and repairing the SC530 to
ensure optimum performance and long service life. Please read this manual carefully before performing any maintenance and
repair procedure on the machine.

Squeegee System
Squeegee System
Functional Description
The squeegee suction hose draws air/water from the squeegee assembly. The squeegee consists of two squeegee
blades: a forward, notched blade, and a rear scraping blade. The notched blade permits water to pass into the
space between the two blades, where it is drawn into the suction hose.

Squeegee System
Maintenance and Adjustment
Squeegee Blade Changing
The two squeegee blades periodically need to be changed as they wear. The blades may be ipped or reversed to
a fresh edge up to 3 times before replacement is required. During replacement, it is important for the blades to be
installed at without waves, and then also adjusted to rest at against the oor.
1. Remove the squeegee suction hose (C) from the squeegee assembly (A).
2. Loosen the two thumbscrews (B) and slide the squeegee assembly out of the mounting slots, and remove
the squeegee.

3. Pull out on the latch (D) to release the tension on the retaining strap.
4. Separate the retaining hooks (E) from the two halves of the retaining strap.
5. Slide each retaining strap (G) toward the outside, and lift them off the edge retaining hooks (H).
6. Remove the backing pad (F), and retain it for placement after rotating or replacing the squeegee blade.
7. Remove the squeegee blade from the squeegee frame.
• The squeegee can be rotated and/or ipped 3 times to expose a new edge (4 edges total) to the lower
front. If all 4 edges are worn, replace the squeegee blade with a new one.
8. Lay the squeegee blade (H) over the frame (K), and make sure the tabs and slots (J) are aligned.
9. Replace the strap (G) and make sure the backing pad (F) is positioned at the seam between the straps.
10. Before tightening the latch, make sure the blade is straight without waves.

11. Loosen the clamping thumbscrew (P) on the rear strap (L), and remove the strap from the frame.
12. Remove the rear squeegee blade.
– The squeegee can be rotated and/or ipped 3 times to expose a new edge (4 edges total) to the lower
front. If all 4 edges are worn, replace the squeegee blade with a new one.
13. Lay the squeegee blade (M) over the frame (H), and make sure the tabs and slots (J) are aligned.
14. Replace the strap (L) and retighten the clamping thumbscrew until the strap is tight against the frame.
15. Rest the squeegee assembly at on the oor and examine the edge of each blade (front/rear) to make
sure it is at without any waves (N).
– Make this examination with the squeegee assembly still removed from the machine. There should be
no unnecessary downward force on the squeegee blades.
– If there are waves, loosen the strap and straighten the blade.
16. Examine both front and rear squeegee blades to make sure they are the same height, and that both
blades rest at on the oor when the squeegee frame is sitting level.
– Because the squeegee is curved, it is important that the blades be level with the frame, and then the
frame will be adjusted level to the oor in the next procedure.
17. Reinstall the squeegee assembly to the machine.

18. Perform the Squeegee Trim AdjustmentSqueegee Trim Adjustment described on page 37 Instruction
for Use.

Squeegee System
Squeegee Trim Adjustment
The squeegee trim adjustment ensures that the squeegee frame is level with the oor when the squeegee is in the
lowered, operating position. If the trim is out of adjustment, the squeegee can leave streaks of water at either the
center or the edges of the squeegee.
1. If this procedure is not being performed as a follow-up to replacing the squeegee blade(s), then make the
blade examinations.
2. With the machine parked on a level surface, lower the squeegee to the oor.
3. Examine the contact area between the squeegee blades and the oor. The squeegee blades should be in
even contact with the oor.
– A small bubble level (B) may be used to set the frame of the squeegee to be level with the oor.
4. If the squeegee is tilted up, there will be a gap at the center, and the level’s bubble will be toward the
rear of the machine.
– Turn the adjustment knob (A) counterclockwise.
5. If the squeegee is tilted down, there will be a gap at the outsides of the squeegee, and the level’s bubble
will be toward the front of the machine.
– Turn the adjustment knob (A) clockwise.

TroublePossible causesRemedy
Thermal fuse blown/brokenReset/Replace

Drive is weak or non-existent
The machine has been started using the ignition
key, keeping one of the switches pressed.
Cord entangled in wheel hubsRemove
The motor is faultyCheck the motor amperage/replace the motor
Drive system electronic board faultyReplace
Turn the ignition key to “0”, then restart the
machine without pressing the switches.
7. Apply the amp clamp on the cable from the positive pole of the batteries (B).
8. Turn on the machine with the ignition key.
9. Taking great care and ensuring safety conditions allow, drive the machine at minimum speed and check
that the motor power draw is around 2.5 A at 24 V. Then drive the machine at the maximum possible
speed and check that the motor power draw is around 15 A at 24 V. Repeat the test driving at least two
different directions across the oor to compensate for any unevenness.
• Stop the machine.
• Turn the ignition key to “0”.
• Remove the amp clamp.
If the amperage is higher, perform the following procedures to detect and correct the abnormal amperage:
• Check that the relevant fuse (F4) is properly fastened.
• Check that there is no dirt, debris or entangled cords on the drive wheel hubs and the rear steering
wheels.
• If necessary, disassemble the drive system motor (see the procedure in the relevant paragraph), and
check the condition of all its components.
If the above-mentioned procedures do not produce the correct readings for the drive system motor
power draw, the motor must be replaced (see the procedure in the relevant paragraph).
