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 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.

CAUTION!

Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly. Batteries
should be installed by Nilfi sk or by a qualifi ed electrician.

DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE (ECOFLEX MODELS ONLY)

COMMON INSTRUCTIONS:

Pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch (J) 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. SERVICE NOTE: 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. Press and hold the Solution Switch (F) and the Detergent Switch (J) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge

process takes 10 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. Press and hold Solution Switch (F) and the Detergent Switch (J) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge

process takes 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.

Detergent Percentage:

1 The detergent percentage default is 0.25%. To change the percentage, the detergent system must be OFF, then press and hold the Detergent ON/OFF

Switch (J) for 2 seconds. The detergent indicator will fl ash and each press of the switch will cycle through the available percentages (3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%,

0.8%, 0.66%, 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3%., 0.25%). Once the desired percentage is displayed on the screen (K9), stop and it will lock in after 5 seconds.

CARTRIDGE INSTRUCTIONS:
The Detergent Cartridge (29) is located behind the Side Access Panel (27). Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 2.2 gallons (8.32 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 system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. When
installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (AA) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (BB) and detergent hose as shown.

OPERATING THE MACHINE

WARNING!

Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills. Clean only while
ascending (driving up) the ramp.

To Scrub...

Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual.

1 See Figure 7. While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (23) and (5).
2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights. Reference the Battery Condition Indicator (K5) and Hour Meter (K3) before proceeding.
3 Release the Parking Brake (6). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal (8) to go forward or the rear of the

pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.

4 Press the Solution Switch (F) and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the fl oor. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring of the fl oor surface when starting to scrub with dry brushes. This

must be done prior to pressing the Scrub ON Switch (D).

5 Press the Scrub ON Switch (D) once for Regular Scrub, twice for Heavy Scrub or three times for Extreme Scrub mode. Both the solution fl ow and detergent (EcoFlex models)

fl ow have 3 presets that coincide with the 3 scrub modes (see Control Panel).
NOTE: There is a solution fl ow rate override function if you wish to increase solution fl ow without increasing scrub pressure. Hold the Solution Switch (F) for 3 seconds (solution
indicator will start fl ashing) and then let go. You then have 3 seconds to set a different fl ow rate by simply pressing the Solution Switch (F) repeatedly until the Solution Flow
Indicator (K1) shows the rate you desire (1-5 / see Control Panel). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution fl ow rate to default.
NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum, detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON Switch (D) is
pressed. Any individual system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.

6 When the Scrub ON Switch (D) is selected, the brushes, squeegee and side brooms (cylindrical models) are automatically lowered to the fl oor. The scrub, solution, vacuum,

detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems all start when the Drive Pedal (8) is activated.
NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.

7 Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Adjust the machine speed and

solution fl ow when necessary according to the condition of the fl oor.

NOTE: The maximum scrub speed can be increased by pressing the Scrub Speed Switch (L). The normal max scrub speed is 80% of transport speed. Pressing this switch

increases it to 100% of transport speed.

If scrubbing on a smooth fl oor surface or double-scrubbing turning on the Traction Control™ button (B) regulates the drive wheel torque providing increased control and

enhanced traction on the fl oor.

CAUTION!

To avoid damaging the fl oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.

8 When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine, you may be dispensing too

much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.

9 The machine defaults to the EcoFlex cleaning mode (EcoFlex Switch Indicator is lit) conserving solution and detergent. Press the EcoFlex Switch (G) to override the EcoFlex

cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution fl ow and the detergent percentage. This will cause the indicator to fl ash for one minute, solution fl ow rate will
increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent percentage will increase to the next larger percentage.

10 For extremely dirty fl oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “double-scrub” operation may be required. This operation is the same as a one-pass

scrubbing except on the fi rst pass the squeegee is in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (I) to raise the squeegee). This allows the cleaning solution to remain on
the fl oor to work longer. The fi nal pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.

11 The recovery tank has a shut-off fl oat (15) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this fl oat is activated, the recovery

tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the fl oat activated.

NOTE: All other indicators vanish and a “Recovery Tank FULL” Indicator (K7) appears on the Display Panel when the fl oat is activated. If the control repeatedly gives a full

indication when the tank is not full, the automatic shut-off feature can be disabled, have a qualifi ed service technician refer to the service manual to perform this function.

12 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the Scrub OFF Switch (E) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes and solution fl ow and

the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay (this is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without
turning the vacuum back on).

13 Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (19) from its rear storage area, then remove the

plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled fl ow of waste water). Refi ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.

NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (1) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (19) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.

When the batteries require recharging the Battery LOW Indicator (K8) will come on, the scrub brushes and solution fl ow will stop and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will
raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay. Transport the machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the Battery
section of this manual.

WET VACUUMING

Steps to follow in fi tting the machine with optional attachments for wet vacuuming.

1 Disconnect the recovery hose from the squeegee (17). Connect the coupler and hose from the wand kit to the recovery hose.
2 Attach suitable wet pick-up tools to the hose. (An optional Wand Kit PN56413687 is available from Nilfi sk).
3 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON and press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (I). The vacuum motor and the pump will run continuously until the switch is pressed again to turn it

OFF. NOTE: The “Recovery Tank FULL” indicator is disabled when the wand mode is activated. The fl oat will stop the fl ow into the recovery tank.

SERVICE NOTE: Refer to the service manual for detailed functional descriptions of all controls and optional programmability.

1 See Figure 11. Loosen the (2) side skirt Retainer Knobs (AA) (2 per side) and remove the Skirt Assemblies (BB) from the scrub deck. NOTE: Remove the

skirts by fi rst sliding them forward and then pulling them off.
2 Remove all the hardware that holds the blades to the skirt housings. NOTE: The main blade on each skirt housing is held on with Tool-less Retainers. Simply

loosen the large Wing nuts (CC) and then turn the Knobs (DD) on the outside of the skirt housing until they are horizontal and push through the slots. The

small inside Blade (EE) on disk models is held on by (2) screws and nuts and has 2 working edges.
3 The main skirt blade has 4 working edges as shown. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the center of the machine. Replace the

blades as a set if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn beyond their ability to be adjusted.
4 Reinstall the skirt housing assemblies onto the machine and adjust the blade for proper contact to the fl oor when the brush deck is placed in the scrub

position.

SIDE SKIRT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1 The side skirt housing knob retainer screw studs have leveling Adjuster Collars (FF) that can be raised or lowered to compensate for blade wear.
2 To adjust, remove the Skirt Assemblies (BB) from the scrub deck to access the Adjuster Collars (FF). Adjustment Tip: The skirts Retainer Knobs (AA) can be

loosened with skirts left on and the Adjuster Collars (FF) rotated by reaching under the skirt housing.
3 Turn the Adjuster Collars (FF) (Up or Down) to where the blades just fold over enough when scrubbing that all the waste water is contained inside the skirting.

NOTE: Make small adjustments to obtain good blade wiping. Do not lower the blades too much to where they fold over excessively and cause unneeded

blade wear.
