This manual is furnished with each new machine. This manual will allow the Operator to get the best performance out of
your RPS manufactured Scrubber-Drier, Sweeper, Burnisher, or Orbital Scrubber. Read this manual thoroughly before
operating or servicing the machine.
This machine will provide excellent performance, but the best results will be obtained at the most minimum costs if:
• The machine is regularly maintained - per the Authorized Local Distributor.
• The machine is operated with reasonable care and caution.
• The machine is maintained with manufacturer supplied parts.
LOCATE SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number of your machine is located on the lower half of the steering column of the machine.
AS OUR POLICY IS ONE OF CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT - ALL INFORMATION AND
SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
