DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATORS
The battery condition indicators give a relative indication of the state of charge of the battery pack. A fully charged battery pack will measure above 37.6 volts with no load applied (2.09 volts per cell). The AquaRide™ SE / BRX 700 is equipped with a low voltage cutout feature that will turn the scrub system off when the batteries are discharged to their minimum level. There are two different cutout levels to accommodate different battery types. See the service manual for details. The voltage levels for the various indications are as follows (the voltages shown represent the voltage under load):
INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR STANDARD CUTOUT LEVEL (AS SHIPPED)
Green indicator = full charge down to 34.00 volts
Green & Yellow indicator 33.99 volts down to 33.00 volts Yellow indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.00 volts Yellow & Red indicator = 31.99 volts down to 31.50 volts Red indicator = 31.49 volts down to 31.00 volts
Flashing Red indicator = less than 31.00 volts – scrub system will shut down.
INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR ALTERNATE CUTOUT LEVEL
Green indicator = full charge down to 34.50 volts
Green & Yellow indicator 34.49 volts down to 34.00 volts Yellow indicator = 33.99 volts down to 33.50 volts Yellow & Red indicator = 33.49 volts down to 33.00 volts Red indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.5 volts
Flashing Red indicator = less than 32.5 volts – scrub system will shut down.
NOTE: Refer to service manual for selection of alternate cutout level.
NOTE: Once the low voltage cutout level has been reached (flashing red indicator) the batteries must be FULLY recharged (37.6 volts) to reset the battery condition indicator. The scrub system will not function until the indicator has been reset.

INSTALL THE BATTERIES
WARNING !
Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from inside the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited by any electrical arc, spark or flame.
When Servicing Batteries...
*Remove all jewelry.
*Do not smoke.
*Wear safety glasses, a rubber apron and rubber gloves.
*Work in a well-ventilated area.
*Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time.
CAUTION !
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly. Batteries should be installed by Nilfisk-Advance or by a qualified electrician.
1Turn the Key Switch (J) off (O) and remove the key. Then swing open the Battery Compartment Cover (16).
2Using (2) people and an appropriate lifting strap, carefully lift the batteries into the compartment tray exactly as shown. Use decal 56015168 battery cable layout.
3See Figure 1. Install battery cables as shown and tighten the nuts on the battery terminals.
4Install the battery boots and secure tightly to the battery cables with the supplied tie straps.
5Connect the battery pack connector to the machine connector (22) and close the battery compartment cover.

FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
1Open the Solution Tank Fill Cover (2).
2Read the dilution instructions on the chemical container. Then figure the proper amount of chemical to mix with 40 gallons (151 liters) of water.
3Pour the proper amount of chemical into the solution tank and fill the tank with warm water to 7.62cm (3 inches) from the top of the tank opening.
4Close the Solution Tank Fill Cover (2).
NOTE: If your machine was factory equipped with a chemical system you DO NOT mix chemical in the solution tank.
CAUTION!
Use low-sudsing, liquid detergents designed for carpet extraction. Water temperature should not exceed 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54.4 degrees Celsius).
BEFORE USING THE AQUARIDE™ SE / BRX 700
Thorough vacuuming of the carpet to be cleaned is not necessary before using the AquaRide™ SE or BRX 700 automatic extractors, due to the on-board sweeping broom and debris hopper.
PRE-SPRAYING THE CARPET
Pre-spray spots and heavy traffic areas before extracting. Use a hand-held bottle sprayer or a pressurized “Hudson” type sprayer. Mix the pre-spray according to the chemical manufacturer’s directions.
PLAN FOR CLEANING
Before you begin extracting, look at the area to be cleaned and plan your work. Divide the space into sections. Overlap each pass 2 inches (5 cm).

DETERGENT (AXP/EDS) SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE
COMMON INSTRUCTIONS:
The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Move machine over floor drain before purging because a small amount of detergent will be dispensed in the process.
To Purge When Changing Chemicals:
1Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge.
2Turn the Key Switch (J) ON. Press and hold the Purge Switch (T) down for at least 3 seconds, then press and hold the Solution Switch (R) (on the main machine’s control panel) for the duration of the purge cycle. Holding the solution switch is necessary to open the solution valve and prevent the
purged detergent from flowing back into the solution tank. NOTE: Once activated the Purge Indicator (U) will begin to scroll a flashing light from left to right and will automatically shut off after 10 seconds. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.
To Purge Weekly:
1Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge. Install and connect a Cartridge filled with clean water.
2Turn the Key Switch (J) ON. Press and hold the Purge Switch (T) down for at least 3 seconds, then press and hold the Solution Switch (R) (on the main machine’s control panel) for the duration of the purge cycle. Holding the solution switch is necessary to open the solution valve and prevent the purged detergent from flowing back into the solution tank. NOTE: Once activated the Purge Indicator (U) will begin to scroll a flashing light from left
to right and will automatically shut off after 10 seconds. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.
The Detergent Box (AA) has a Detergent Level Viewing Slot (BB) for keeping track of how much detergent is remaining in the cartridge. When the detergent level is nearing the bottom of this slot it is time to refill or replace the cartridge.
General Use:
The detergent injection system is activated when the Key Switch (J) is turned on but no detergent is dispensed until the scrub system is activated and the Drive Pedal (8) pushed forward. The solution flow rate is determined by the use of “Maintenance” or “Restoration” mode. The solution flow rate can be changed by pressing the Maintenance Extract Mode Switch (D) for reduced flow or the Restoration Extract Mode Switch (F) for increased flow. The detergent flow rate
increases or decreases with the solution flow rate but the detergent ratio remains the same. During scrubbing, the detergent system can be turned off at any time by pressing the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (S) to allow scrubbing with water only. SERVICE NOTE: Follow the “To Purge Weekly” instructions above if the machine is going to be stored for an extended period of time or if you plan to discontinue use of the detergent injection system.
DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove the Cap (CC) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (DD) as shown.
NON-DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 1.25 gallons (4.73 Liters) of detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Remove the detergent cartridge from the detergent box prior to filling to avoid spilling detergent on the machine.
It is recommended that a separate cartridge be used for each detergent you plan to use. The detergent cartridges have a white decal on them so you can write the detergent name on each cartridge to avoid mixing them up. The detergent cartridge has a Magnetic Slider (EE) on one end that needs to be set to the proper dilution ratio according to the dilution instructions on the manufacturer’s bottle. Slide the Magnet Slider (EE) to the appropriate location on Detergent Dilution Ratio Decal (FF). When installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (CC) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (DD) as shown.
