GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Speciﬁ c Cautions and Warnings are included to warn you of potential danger of machine damage or bodily harm.

WARNING!

• This machine shall be used only by properly trained and authorized persons.

• 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.

• Keep sparks, ﬂ ame and smoking materials away from batteries. Explosive gases are vented during normal operation.

• Charging the batteries produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Charge batteries only in well-ventilated areas, away from open

ﬂ ame. Do not smoke while charging the batteries.

• Remove all jewelry when working near electrical components.

• Turn the key switch off (O) and disconnect the batteries before servicing electrical components.

• Never work under a machine without safety blocks or stands to support the machine.

• Do not dispense ﬂ ammable cleaning agents, operate the machine on or near these agents, or operate in areas where ﬂ ammable

liquids exist.

• Do not clean this machine with a pressure washer.

• Only use the brushes provided with the appliance or those speciﬁ ed in the instruction manual. The use of other brushes may

impair safety.

CAUTION!

• This machine is not approved for use on public paths or roads.

• This machine is not suitable for picking up hazardous dust.

• Do not use scariﬁ er discs and grinding stones. Nilﬁ sk will not be held responsible for any damage to ﬂ oor surfaces caused by

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.

1 Remove 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 Remove the recovery tank from the machine. NOTE: Disconnect the tether and the vacuum motor wiring and lift the tank straight up and off the machine. 4 Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install six 6 volt batteries. Using at least (2) people and an appropriate lifting strap,

carefully lift the batteries into the battery compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in FIGURE 1. Secure the batteries as close to the front of the machine as possible. If installing a mono-block battery use an overhead hoist.

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 (20).

INSTALL THE BRUSHES (CYLINDRICAL SYSTEM)

CAUTION!

Turn the key switch off (O) and remove the key, before changing the brushes, and before opening any access panels.

1 Make sure the Scrub Deck is in the RAISED position. Make sure the Key Switch (A) is off (O). 2 See Figure 2. Remove both side skirt assemblies. NOTE: The skirts are held in place by two large Knobs (AA). Loosen these knobs, slide the Skirt

Assemblies (BB) forward slightly and then off of the Scrub Deck. 3 Loosen the Black Knobs (CC) on top of the Idler Assemblies (DD) until they drop down far enough to disengage from the Notches (EE) and remove. 4 Slide the brush into the housing, lift slightly, push and turn until it seats. Re-install the Idler Assemblies (DD) and Skirt Assemblies (BB).
