Brush identification
This is applicable when the customer has more than one set of brushes of same type.
Example : 2 or more sets of Standard Brush
Customers may not interested to use same brushes in Bedroom / Kitchen / germ free area
which is already been used in other areas like Corridor / Bathroom / Oil or chemical
deposited areas. It is difficult for the customers to identify the particular brush which is
used in certain area. To make this easy, Brush buttons of colors RED, BLUE, WHITE and
YELLOW are packed with the machine. Customers shall plug the buttons on the hole
provided in the brush as shown. This helps the customer to identify the particular brush by
keeping the button (color) as reference.

Care of the machine
3. Stop the liquid discharge approximately one foot before the end
of forward motion. continue to move forward up to the wall without
pulling the pull handle .
Spray angle / area can be controlled by the user according to their
requirements. It also prevents water / solutions sprayed in the
cleaned area. Spray angle of the solution is made to adjust using
the serrations provided in the nozzle and the nozzle holder. Nozzle
can be rotated about 28 degrees either clockwise or counter
clockwise @ the increment of 4 degree (Fig-i v).
4. Pull the machine backwards in the same track, but without
discharging any liquid. When you are reaching the starting
point, change the track and repeat steps 2 through 4. When you
are changing the track allow some overlap with the cleaned area.
In case of large halls take a U-turn and move forward. If quick
drying is desired, move on the same track, without discharging
the liquid (Fig-v)
5. When the dirty water tank is full, lift and pull the tank out of the
machine (Fig vi). Empty the tank and wash it in running water or
dip it in a bucket of water (Fig-vii). Clean the blades and push the
tank into its place.

movement when transporting
the machine.
Installing the Transporter
1. With the machine handle in the upright position place the
transporter centrally alongside the machine.
2. By holding the machine firmly, strap the velcro with the
machine to fix the transporter.
3. Ensure that the velcro strap properly wrapped around the
bottom handle.
4. Now the transporter is ready to use. The machine can
then be maneuvered easily whilst holding the top handle.
Warning! Empty all liquid from the machine
before using the transporter.
Side Brush
To wash the edges, the
side brush shall be used.
Switch off and unplug the
machine before fitting the
side brush.
Fitting the side brush
1. Remove the front brush and brush shaft.
2. Fix the shield assembly and screw it into the
side plate and tighten.
3. Insert the side brush through the shield and
main brush.
Using the side brush
1. Tilt the machine at an angle move forward. This
way, the dirty water thrown by the side brush will be
collected by the rear brush.
2. Use side brush only for washing the edges.
Warning! Do not use side brush in a room with no
wall skirting, otherwise, the wall will get dirty.
Upkeep of your PORT A SCRUB
To get the maximum life of the machine ensure the following.
· Supply cord
Regularly inspect sheath, plug and cord anchorage for
damage or loose connection.
· Brushes
For maximum life wash the brushes regularly. Ensure
machine is in Transport mode when not in use. Store
additional brushes in a vertical position to avoid bending
of bristles. Check for permanent bending of bristles in a
particular direction. This may occur if the machine is
operated for several days without removing the brushes,
which is not recommended. If this occurs, reverse the
brush so that the bent bristles are automatically
straightened.
· Wiper Blade
This may wear out after years of use. If this occurs the
water collection performance will decrease. It should
be replaced by an authorized Service Agent.
· Solution feed filter
The filter prevents clogging of the spray nozzle and
should be periodically cleaned. Use pressurized air/
water for cleaning.
· Nozzle maintenance
If the spray of the nozzle become blocked, slide the
nozzle cover off and remove nozzle wash in clean
water and clean using a pin and refit.
Note: Since the companies policy is to continuously improve the product,
these could be changed without prior notice.
