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 the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be
ignited by any electrical arc, spark or fl ame. Do not install any lead-acid battery in a
sealed container or enclosure. Hydrogen gas from overcharging must be allowed
to escape.
When Servicing Batteries...
• Remove all jewelry
• Do not smoke
• Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
• Work in a well-ventilated area
• Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
• ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable fi rst when replacing batteries to
prevent sparks.
• ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
FIGURE 1
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are
not installed and connected properly. Nilfi sk-Advance, a qualifi ed electrician, or the
battery manufacturer should install batteries.
1Remove the batteries from their shipping crate and carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If damage is evident, contact the carrier
that delivered them or the battery manufacturer to fi le a damage claim.
2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) OFF and remove the key.
3 Tip the recovery tank to the side, locked position. Remove the battery cables from inside the battery compartment.
4 Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install four 6 volt batteries. Carefully lift the batteries into the battery
compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in FIGURE 1. Secure the batteries as close to the back of the machine as possible.
5 Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.
6 Carefully tighten the nut in each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn. Do not over-tighten the terminals, or they will be very diffi cult to
remove for future service.
7 Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
8 Put one of the black rubber boots over each of the terminals and connect the Battery Pack Connector (17).

BEFORE USING THE ADPHIBIAN™ / AX 651 COMBI EDS FOR EXTRACTING
Thoroughly vacuum the carpet to be cleaned before using the Adphibian/AX 651 Combi EDS automatic carpet extractor.
PRE-SPRAYING THE CARPET
The Adphibian/AX 651 Combi EDS in extract mode has a pre-spray feature. Pre-spray spots and heavy traffi c areas before extracting. For
extremely dirty fl oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “pre-spray” operation may be required. This operation is the
same as a one-pass scrubbing except on the fi rst pass the vacuum shoes are in the up position and the vacuum motors are off. This allows the
cleaning solution/detergent to remain on the fl oor to work longer. The fi nal pass is made over the same area, with the vacuum shoes lowered and
vacuum motors on to pick up the accumulated solution.
1 The scrub system must be in the off position.
2 Press the orange Floor Mode Switch (K) until the display shows (D11) indicating Extract Mode has been selected.
3 Press the Solution/Pre-Spray Switch (C), the Display (D7) will indicate Fast Prespray Mode. The scrub deck will be lowered and the solution
and detergent systems will be enabled. The Extraction Shoes (10) will remain in the up position.
4 Push the Drive Paddle (20) forward to start the brushes and solution/detergent.
5 Press the Solution/Pre-Spray Switch (C) to exit the prespray mode. The brushes and solution/detergent fl ow will be stopped. The scrub deck
will raise.
6 If more solution is desired, press the green Scrub ON Switch (J) (while in Fast Prespray Mode) to enter the Heavy Prespray Mode. The Display
(D8) will indicate the Heavy Prespray Mode has been selected. In this mode the machine moves slower and more solution is sprayed on the
carpet.
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).
SQUEEGEE INSTALLATION
1 See Figure 3. Slide the Squeegee Assembly (18) onto the squeegee mount bracket and tighten the Squeegee Mount Thumb Nuts (40).
2 Connect the Recovery Hose (30) to the squeegee inlet.
3 Lower the squeegee, move the machine ahead slightly and adjust the squeegee tilt using the Squeegee Adjustment Knob (35) so that the rear
squeegee blade touches the fl oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown.

DETERGENT (AXP/EDS) SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE
COMMON INSTRUCTIONS:
Pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch (B) while the solution
system is active will cause the detergent system to alternately turn
on and off. The system should be purged of previous detergent
when switching to a different detergent. SERVICENOTE: Move
machine over fl oor drain before purging because a small amount of
detergent will be dispensed in the process.
To Purge When Changing Chemicals:
1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge.
2 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON and press the Detergent Switch (B) and
the Solution/Pre-Spray Switch (C) down for at least 2 seconds. NOTE:
Once activated the purge process takes 30 seconds. See illustration on
next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is
adequate to purge the system.
To Purge Weekly:
1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge. Install and connect a
Cartridge fi lled with clean water
2 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON and press the Detergent Switch (B) and
the Solution/Pre-Spray Switch (C) down for at least 2 seconds. NOTE:
Once activated the purge process takes 30 seconds. See illustration on
next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is
adequate to purge the system.
When the Detergent Cartridge is almost empty a Display Panel (D1)
indicator will come on. This “Low Detergent” indicator will remain
on until you reset the system. Once this indicator comes on you
should be able to simply pour an entire gallon bottle of detergent
into the Cartridge to refi ll without worrying about measuring. NOTE:
Only reset the system when the cartridge is full. When switching
cartridges, the “Low Detergent” indicator is only accurate if the
replacement cartridge is at the same level as the cartridge being
replaced.
To Reset:
1 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON and hold the Detergent Switch (B)
down for 2 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent
System indicators.
NON-REFILLABLE CARTRIDGE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove the Cap (AA) and place the cartridge in the detergent box.
Install the Dry Break Cap (BB) as shown.
REFILLABLE 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 fi lling 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 (CC) 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 (CC) to the appropriate location on Detergent Dilution Ratio
Decal (DD). When installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (AA) and
place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (BB)
as shown.
