• 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.

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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATORS

The battery condition indicator (K) consists of three lights, a green (L), a yellow (M), and a red (N). The voltage indication will change based on the cutoff level (standard or alternate) selected in the control unit. The battery voltage ranges for the various indications are listed below:

Standard Alternate

Green 34.00+ 34.50+ Green & Yellow 33.00-33.99 34.00-34.49 Yellow 32.00-32.99 33.50-33.99 Yellow & Red 31.50-31.99 33.00-33.49 Red 31.00-31.49 32.50-32.99 Flashing Red/Cutoff <31.00 <32.50

NOTE: Refer to service manual for selection of alternate cut-off level. Once the low voltage cutout level has been reached (ﬂ ashing red indicator) the batteries must be FULLY recharged 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 ﬂ ame.

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.

• 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-Advance or by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

1 Turn the Key Switch (J) off (O) and remove the key. Then swing open the Battery Compartment Cover (16). 2 Using (2) people and an appropriate lifting strap, carefully lift the batteries into the compartment tray exactly as shown. Refer to decal 56015168 battery

cable layout.

3 See Figure 1. Install battery cables as shown and tighten the nuts on the battery terminals. 4 Install the battery boots and secure tightly to the battery cables with the supplied tie straps. 5 Connect the battery pack connector to the machine connector (22) and close the battery compartment cover.

INSTALL THE BRUSHES

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 Key Switch (J) is off (O). See Figure 2. To access the brushes, remove both side skirt assemblies. Note: The skirts are held in place by a two

large Knobs, loosen these knobs and slide the skirt assemblies off of the Scrub Deck.

2 Loosen the black knobs (one on each side) on top of the idler assemblies and remove the idler assemblies. Slide the brush into the housing, lift slightly, push

and turn until it seats. Re-install the idler assemblies, then reinstall both side skirt assemblies.

INSTALL THE SQUEEGEE

1 Make sure the Squeegee (19) is up (O) and the Key Switch (J) is off (O). Hold the squeegee tool so that the curved ends point forward, then slide the

squeegee tool onto the Mount (A) (see Figure 3).

2 Hand tighten the Thumb Nuts (B) and then connect the vacuum hose to the Squeegee Tube (C) (vacuum hose should loop to the right).

FILL THE SOLUTION TANK

Read the cleaning chemical label and ﬁ gure the proper amount of chemical to mix for a tank that holds 30 US gallons (113 liters). Open the Solution Tank Cover (2), then ﬁ ll the tank 1/3 full of water, add the cleaning chemical, then ﬁ ll the tank to 7.62cm (3 inches) from the top of the tank

opening (ﬁ ll to bottom of the wall in tank opening). NOTE: AXP/EDS machines can either be used conventionally with detergent mixed in the tank or the detergent dispensing system can be used. When using the AXP/EDS detergent dispensing do not mix detergent in the tank, plain water should be used.

CAUTION !

Use only low-foaming, non-ﬂ ammable liquid detergents intended for automatic scrubber machine applications. Water temperature should not exceed 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54.4 degrees Celsius).

DETERGENT 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 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 (J) ON and press the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (S) and the

Flow Rate Switch (T) down for at least 3 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the Flow Rate Indicator (U) will begin to ﬂ ash and will automatically shut off after 10 seconds. 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 (J) ON and press the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (S) and the

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 reﬁ ll or replace the cartridge.

General Use:

The detergent (AXP/EDS) system is turned on 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 ﬂ ow rate automatically defaults to the last setting used. The solution ﬂ ow rate can be varied by subsequently pressing the Flow Rate Switch (T). There are two solution ﬂ ow rates indicated by the Flow Rate Indicator (U). The detergent ﬂ ow rate increases or decreases with the solution ﬂ ow 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. The solution ﬂ ow rate is controlled by the Flow Rate Switch (T) whether the detergent system is ON or OFF. 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 (AXP/EDS) system.

NON-REFILLABLE CARTRIDGE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove the Cap (CC) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (DD) 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 (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.
