MACHINE PREPARATION

Figure 1
YOUR SMART 2000 MACHINE HAS BEEN SHIPPED COMPLETE, BUT DO NOT A TTEMPT TO OPERA TE WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
PREP ARING THE MACHINE FOR OPERA TION (IC Engine Powered)
1. Connect and tighten battery cables.
2. Fill the tank with REGULAR GRADE gasoline. (Diesel fuel if equipped with diesel engine.)
WARNING
Never fill the tank while the engine is running. Always be sure the gasoline container and sweeper are electrically
connected before pouring gasoline. This can easily be done by providing an insulated wire (permanently attached
to container) with a battery clip on the other end.
3. Check engine crankcase oil level. Although properly lubricated at the factory, check before starting the engine. No special break in oil is used and recommended number of operating hours before the initial oil change is the same as normal. See Maintenance.
4. Check radiator coolant level. Permanent type antifreeze is added at the factory to provide protec­tion to approximately -35°F (37°C). To retain this protection level, always add ½ part water to ½part antifreeze.
5. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir located at the drivers side of the machine beside the engine. The oil fill level should be halfway on sight glass. If oil is needed, add Standard, 30 weight, non-detergent motor oil. Af ter the first 50 operating hours, service must be performed on your engine to ensure future high performance and trouble free operation. See Maintenance.

NOTE
After the first 35 operating hours, service must be performed on your engine to ensure future high performance
and trouble free operation. See Maintenance.
BA TTERY POWERED MACHINES
*Uncrate the machine and carefully remove from skid to prevent damage. *The SMART 2000 machines that are shipped without batteries have the (+) positive drive motor lead disconnected. *Open the battery compartment and connect the (+) positive motor lead to the top terminal post (the wire “P” is also attached to it). Tighten the terminal nut. *Install the scrub brushes. *Check the oil level in the hydraulic reservoir *Install batteries as follows (if not included):
1. Turn the key to the “OFF” position.
2. Raise the Front Cover to the open position.
3. Use a battery lifting device with a 2500 lbs. (1 150 Kg) cap acity hoist to lift the battery. Set up the battery tray in the center position. Make sure the size of the battery fits into the tray prior to installation (20.25W x 38.50 x 31.00 L).
4. Using the lifting device, lower the 36 volt battery into the battery tray directly in front of the driver’s compartment. Orient the cables & plug them in as required.
5. Plug the polarized connector from the battery into the 36 volt plug provided.
WARNING
Hydrogen gas is formed during the charging operation and is explosive! Only charge batteries in a well ventilated
area with the lid open. Avoid any open flame or electrical sparks. Pulling out the charger plug with the timer on
will cause an arc and must be avoided.

ESP SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

THE SCRUBBING SYSTEM - HOW IT WORKS
There are two scrubbing systems available for the SMART 2000 machine, the non-recycling or standard scrubbing system and the recycling or ESP scrubbing system.
THE NON-RECYCLING OR ST ANDARD SCRUBBING SYSTEM - HOW IT WORKS
During the scrubbing process, detergent solution water from the solution tank is fed to the solution line. There it is fed to the floor where three disc scrubbing brushes work to dislodge soil. Af ter scrubbing, the dirty solution is vacuumed from the floor and discharged into the containment chamber in the forward portion of the recovery tank, where a system of baffles helps to clarify the solution.
Sensors in each tank will indicate, by lights on the control panel, when the water in the solution tank is too low or when the water in the recovery tank is too high.
THE ESP RECYCLING SYSTEM ON/OFF SWITCH (Option)
This switch turns the ESP recycling system on and off.

THE RECOVERY OR ESP SYSTEM - HOW IT WORKS
During the scrubbing process, filtered water from the solution tank is fed to the solution line, where it combines with detergent . This mixture is then fed to the floor where three disc scrubbing brushes work to dislodge soil. After scrubbing, the dirty solution is vacuumed from the floor and discharged into the recovery tank. At intervals, a float switch activates the recycling pump, which sends filtered solution from the recovery tank to the solution tank.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR CLEANING OPERATION

SIDE AISLES
MAIN AISLE
P4134/0001
Do not turn the steering wheel sharply when the machine is in motion. The machine is very responsive to
movement of the steering wheel. Do not make sudden turns. Scrub in straight paths. Do not bump posts. Do
not scrape the sides of the machine.
1. Plan your sweeping and scrubbing in advance. Try to arrange long runs with minimum stopping and starting. Sweep debris from narrow aisles out into main aisles ahead of time. Do an entire floor or section at one time.
2. Pick up oversize debris before sweeping.
3. Allow a few inches of overlap of sweep and scrub paths. This will eliminate leaving dirty patches.
4. Do not turn steering wheel too sharply when the machine is in motion. The machine is very responsive to movement of the steering wheel, so avoid sudden turns.
5. Try to follow as straight a path as possible. Avoid bumping into posts or scraping the sides of the machine.
6. Always allow the machine to warm up before operating in cold temperatures.
7. Periodically turn the sweeping broom end-over-end to prevent the bristles from “setting” in one direction.
Replace the sweeping broom when the bristles are worn to 3 inch (8 cm) length. Replace disc brushes when
bristles are reduced to ½ inch (1.3 cm) in length. Replace squeegee rubbers when all usable edges have
become rounded with wear, impairing the wiping action.
