1. Cautions

• Always disconnect the A.C. Cord from the outlet and and D.C. Cord

from the battery pack before servicing the machine. Except for making
voltage and current measurements.

• Before replacing or disconnecting any electrical componets, disconnect

the battery pack from the machine first. Failure to do so could cause a

short circuit

.

• After any repair work test the machine for proper operation.

• When servicin

g

the machine always observe the general safety and

gygy

accident prevention guidlines.

• Do not attempt to power up the controllers with battery chargers.

Permanent damage will occur to the controller.

36 volt chargers usually have an output in excess of 48 volts.

• Use only Minuteman approved battery chargers.

Page 4

•

Do not apply power directly to the motors without first disconnecting

them from the controller circuit.

2. Maintenance Intervals

•Maintenance Intervals:
In a modular structure, the Minuteman System Maintenance determines the specific
technical proceedures to be preformed and sets the time interval between the two
maintenance cycles.
For each of the maintenance cycle, the replaceable parts are determined as well.
Further details described in the specific chapters.

•Minuteman System Maintenance K:
To be performed by the customer (in daily or weekly intervals) according to the maintenance
and care instructions as specified in the operating instructions.
The operator must be professionally instructed after delivery of the machine by selling
dealer .

•Minuteman System Maintenance I: (after every 125 hours of operation)
To be preformed an authorized Minuteman Service Center in accordance with the machine­specific system maintenance.

•Minuteman System Maintenance II: (after every 250 hours of operation)
To be preformed an authorized Minuteman Service Center in accordance with the machine­specific system maintenance.

•Minuteman System Maintenance S: (after every 500 hours of operation, safety check) To
be performed by an authorized Minuteman Service Center in accordance with the machine­specific system maintenance.

1. Lower the brush deck, so it gently rests on the floor.

2. Remove the side

squeegees

.

2.

Remove the side squeegees.

3. Remove the four bolts that mount the deck to the lift linkage.

4. Unplug the electrical connector and the Quick Connector for the solution from the deck.

5. Slide the deck out from under the machine.

6. Unplug the electrical connector to the actuator motor.

7. Remove the two pins that mount the actuator on each end.

8. Remove the actuator from the machine.

9. Mount the new actuator. Do not connect the electrical connector on the actuator at this point.

10. Connect the battery pack.

11.

Turn the machine on.

12. Put the machine in Service Mode. Hold one of the brush pressure buttons on the touch pad for over 20
seconds and release on the model SC2800000. The SC28/32E’s service mode switch is located in the
controller compartment under the seat, on the operators left side. Push the rocker switch in the down
position for 20 seconds.

13.Connect the actuator electrical connector into the harness

.

14. Use the up and down buttons on the touch pad to adjust the brush linkage height, so that you can slide
the brush deck into position. Do not raise it all the way up, until it is set correctly.

15. Lower the linkage down, using the touch pad or rocker switch, so that it gently rests on the mounting
brackets.

Page 30

8. Replacing the Brush Actuator on the SCV 28 or 32

All Versions Of SCV2832E and SC280000

16. Slide the brush deck into position, install the four mounting bolts and tighten. Connect the brush motor
connector and solution quick connector.

17

. Locate the black rubber removable plug on the right side of the actuator and remove.

18. For models with cylindrical decks only. Remove the plastic side deck cover on the operators left side.
This is a gray plastic piece screwed to the side of the solution tank above the deck area.

19. Use the brush pressure up button to raise it up a little at a time. The clearance between the top belt cover
and the under side of the tank should between 1/4 to 3/8 inch, when the deck stops rising up. Do not
allow it to rise any higher or it might over load the actuator. If it continues to rise higher, adjustment w

ill

be required.

20. For Disk machines only, the actuator should be set so that you can slide the brushes under the deck and
not bottom out under the machine.

21. Adjust the actuator adjustment screw to change setting see drawing. Turn the screw no more than 1/8 of a

t

urn at a time. The adjustment screw closest to the shaft controls how high it rises. The screw furthest
from movable controls maximum down pressure. Look at the rubber plug to determine which way to turn
the screw.

22. Lower the brush deck and return it back up for the new settings to change.

23. Adjust the down setting so that the actuator cannot lift the drive motor off the floor. Set it so it only lifts
some pressure off the drive wheel.

24. Once the correct setting is made replace the rubber plug into the side of the actuator motor.

25. Replace side plastic cover.

26. Turn the key switch off and back on.

27. Test the machine.

9. Trouble Shooting the Code 8 Error

ES2832,CP2832,SCV2426andSC2832EModelsOnly)

1.Check for loose or burnt connections on the controller, batteries, cables and

the circuit breaker. Make the sure the circuit breaker is not damaged.

2.Measure the total battery voltage at the batteries and at the battery

yg y

connections on the controller. They should be exactly the same. A 1/10 of a
volt or more difference would indicate a problem in the connections.

3.Check to see, if the operator has recently washed the machine down and got

water inside of the brush motor or in the controller area.

4.On the ES2832 and CP2832 only disconnect the plug on the Service Mode

Switch. This is accessible by tilting the solution tank forward. Power the

machine up with it disconnected

. If

error code is cleared replace the switch

.

5.Check for a disconnected or an open circuit or faulty potentiometer on the

throttle or speed circuit. Controller may not be detecting it in the circuit. Do a
continuit

y

test. See “Testing the potentiometer” section.

Page 34

9. Trouble Shooting the Code 8 Error

6. Disconnect one motor connector from the Trio controller at a time and
disconnect the batteries for 1 minute and restart the machine. If the code
8 disappears and is replaced by a different code, the circuit disconnected
should be considered suspect. For example the brush was disconnected.
The code 8 is replaced by code 3. Code 3 indicates the brush motor is

disconnected

.

Check for a loose or broken connection at the brush deck

.
Check to see if water has gotten inside the brush motor. Check for a
shorted motor.

7. Static electricity. Check both the ground chains; there is one on the brush

deck

and one on the rear of the machine. They should be contacting the
floor. The one on the deck should touch the floor when the deck is down.
They also should have continuity between the end of the chain and the
frame of the machine. R

8. If everything checks OK, replace the Trio Controller.

Note controllers can be damaged by loose connections on inputs and outputs, static

electricity and water on electrical components such as on or in the controller and motors.

10. Testing the Throttle Potentiometer

1. The throttle potentiometer resistance can be measured with an ohmmeter.

2. Unplu

g

the throttle potentiometer at the connector next to it.

g

3. Analog type meters are recommended for this test.

4. Measure the resistance across the red and white wire on the potentiometer assembly. It should
measure approximately 5K (5 thousand ohms).

5. Measure across the black and white wires on the

p

otentiometer, the resistance should be zero

p

ohms with pedal on the riders in the neutral position or speed knob on the ES2832 and CP2832 in
the full counterclockwise position. When the pedal or knob is moved to the full throttle position, in
should be a smooth resistance change without dropping out. It should measure approximately 5K
(5 thousand ohms) in the full position.

6.M

easuring across the black an

d

th

e red wire the resistance should be approximately 5K (5
thousand), when in the neutral position. When the pedal is at full throttle or the knob is full speed
position, the resistance should drop to zero.

7. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut and screw on the throttle arm. Adjust the potentiometer

shaft with a flat tip screw driver, until it is set according to the information above (on the riders

only).

Page 36

Potentiometer Assembly

Adjust Here

10. Testing the Throttle Potentiometer

8. If they do not find a problem here, have them retest at the connector at the Trio
controller.

9. Reconnect the plug at the throttle potentiometer.

10. Unplug the P3 connector (The large white connector) on the controller under the seat on the riders

and behind the two rear panels on the ES2832s and CP2832s.

11. L

ocate the black/orange and the black/pink wire.

12. Measuring across the black/orange and black/pink wires the resistance should be zero ohms in the

neutral position. It should 5k in the full throttle position.

13. Measure across the black/pink and the black/white wires. The resistance should be 5K (5

thousand) in the neutral position. When the pedal is at full throttle the resistance should drop to

zero.

14. If your reading is different with this test check all the connections between the controller and the

throttle control, including the seat switch.

Note: when moving the throttle to the

full position, the resistance should be smooth, without

dropping out for both tests. If the resistance does not go to 5K during the test, the arm and
the potentiometer may need to be adjusted to achieve it.

Page 37

11. Identifying the Cause of Trio Failures

1. Check for loose or burnt connections on the controller, batteries, cables and the circuit breaker.

Make the sure the circuit breaker is not damaged (burnt or cracked).

2. Test the chassis drive motor harness for broken wires (riders only). Disconnect the plug labeled

Traction on the Trio controller. Connect a digital multi-meter to the plug on the two large wires.
Set the meter for Ohms (resistance). The resistance should be .3 to .4 ohms. Turn the steering

wheel in both directions until it stops several times

.

Monitor the meter while turning. The

resistance should not change or vary while turning. Any variation even .1 ohm would be indicate
a broken wire, which could cause spikes and surges, that could damage the Trio controller.

3. Measure the total battery voltage at the batteries and at the battery connections on the controller.

The

y

should be exactly the same. A 1/10 of a volt or more difference would indicate a problem in

yy p

the connections.
