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.

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.
