YOUR ATS 46/53 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 electri-

cally 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 ½ part antifreeze.

5. Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir located at the center of the machine beside the engine. The oil fill level should be halfway on sight glass. If oil is needed, add HYDRAULIC FLUID ONL Y, automatic transmission fluid FORD type “F.” After the first 50 operating hours, service must be performed on your engine to ensure future high performance and trouble free operation. See Maintenance.

MACHINE PREP ARATION - BATTER Y

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 A TS 46/53 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). T ighten 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 Solution 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.

4. Using the lifting device, lower the 36 volt battery into the battery compartment 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.
