KKK
HOPPER SAFETY SUPPORT
WARNING!
Make sure the Hopper Safety Support (KK) is in place whenever
attempting to do any maintenance work under or near the raised
hopper. The Hopper Safety Support (KK) holds the hopper in the
raised position to allow work to be performed under the hopper.
NEVER rely on the machine’s hydraulic components to safely
support the hopper.
JACKING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.
• When jacking the machine, do so at designated locations (Do Not jack on the hopper) - see jacking locations (44)
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that . . .
• All access doors are latched securely.
• The machine is tied down securely - see tie-down locations (6).
• The machine parking brake is set.
TOWING OR PUSHING A DISABLED MACHINE
CAUTION!
The machine’s drive propelling pump is manufactured with an adjustable tow valve. This valve prevents damage to the hydraulic
system when the machine is being towed/pushed short distances without use of the engine.
To access the valve, open the Engine Compartment Door (22) and lift off the Right Engine Compartment Access Panel (37). Locate the
valve as shown on the underside of the hydrostatic pump by reaching under the radiator. Turn the valve 90 degrees; this disengages the
hydrostatic lock between the motor and pump.
The hydrostatic pump can be damaged if the machine is towed with the valve in the normal working position (A). Reference the illustration
below for the normal working setting (A) and the free wheeling towing setting (B). Note: If the tow valve is left in free wheeling (B) position
the hydrostatic pump can’t drive the machine FWD or REV. No damage will result, just re-set valve to the normal working setting (A). Tow
or push machine no faster than a normal walking pace (2-3 miles per hour) and for short distances only. If the machine is to be moved long
distances the rear drive wheel needs to be raised off the oor and placed on a suitable transport dolly.

DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE (AXP/EDS MODELS ONLY)
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 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 (A) on one end that should be set to the proper dilution ratio according to the
dilution instructions on the manufacturer’s bottle. Slide the Magnet Slider (A) to the appropriate location on Detergent Dilution Ratio Decal (B). When installing a new cartridge,
remove the Cap (C) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (D) as shown.
The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Move machine over 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 (MM) ON and press the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (RR) for at least 2 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge process takes about 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 lled with clean water
2 Turn the Key Switch (MM) ON and press the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (RR) for at least 2 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge process takes about 10 seconds.
See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.
The Detergent Box (E) has a Detergent Level Viewing Slot (F) 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 re ll or replace the cartridge.
General Use:
The detergent (AXP/EDS) system is enabled when the Key Switch (MM) is turned on and reverts to the last state (Chem On or Chem Off) it was in prior to the last power down.
The current Solution Flow Rate (VV) and the last used Detergent Ratio (WW) (if in “Chem On” state) are displayed. The Status LED (YY) indicates the status of the system as
follows:
GREEN: Solution not low and chemical pump ON (pumping solution and chemical)
BLINKING GREEN: Purge has been activated
LED OFF: Solution ow position = 0 or solution solenoid is OFF
ORANGE: Solution ON and Chemical OFF (pumping solution only)
BLINKING RED: Solution low and chemical pump ON (pumping solution only)
No detergent is dispensed until the scrub system is activated and the Drive Pedal (OO) pushed forward. The detergent ratio can be varied by subsequently pressing the
Detergent Increment and Decrement Switches (SS & TT). The detergent ow rate increases or decreases with the solution ow rate but the detergent ratio remains the same
unless changed. During scrubbing, the detergent system can be turned off at any time by pressing the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (RR) to allow scrubbing with water only. On
AXP/EDS models the solution ow rate (40%-100%) is electronically controlled and is displayed (VV) on the AXP/EDS display panel as shown below.
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. The Display Panel (UU) will display an Error Code “E1” (XX) in the lower left corner if the magnetic slider circuit board (ZZ) becomes
disconnected or malfunctions.

OPERATING THE MACHINE
The Captor™ is a rider-type automatic oor sweeping and scrubbing machine. It is designed to sweep up debris, lay down cleaning solution,
scrub the oor, and vacuum dry all in one pass. The sweeping and scrubbing operations can also be performed separately.
The controls on the Captor were designed with one touch operation in mind. For single pass scrubbing the user can simply depress one
switch and all scrub functions on the machine will be ready to go. For sweeping, the operator can simply lower the main broom and all
sweeping functions will be ready to go.
Note: Bold numbers in parentheses indicate an item illustrated on pages 6-9.
BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE
1 Be sure you understand all machine controls and their functions.
2 Plan your cleaning route. Arrange long, straight passes with as few turns as possible.
3 Check the Brake Pedal (FF). The pedal should be rm.
If the pedal is “spongy” or fades under pressure, DO NOT DRIVE THE MACHINE. Report all defects immediately to service personnel.
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
1 Turn the Key Switch (MM) counter-clockwise to the “Pre-Heat” position and hold it there until the Glow Plug Indicator (E) turns OFF.
Once the indicator turns OFF the engine can be started. Skip this step if the engine has been running and is already warm.
2 Turn the Key Ignition Switch (MM) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not
start after cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute and try steps 1-3 again.
3 Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.
4 Push the Engine Speed Switch (G) to switch to “FULL THROTTLE” and move the machine around for 2 or 3 minutes at a slow speed to
warm up the hydraulic system.
STARTING THE GASOLINE ENGINE
1 Turn the Ignition Key Switch (MM) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not
start after cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute, then try again.
2 Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.
3 Push the Engine Speed Switch (G) to switch to “FULL THROTTLE” and move the machine around for 2 or 3 minutes at a slow speed to
warm up the hydraulic system.
STARTING THE PROPANE ENGINE
1 Open the service valve on the LP fuel tank (5).
2 Turn the Ignition Key Switch (MM) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not
start after cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute, then try again.
3 Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.
4 Push the Engine Speed Switch (G) to switch to “FULL THROTTLE” and move the machine around for 2 or 3 minutes at a slow speed to
warm up the hydraulic system.
ALWAYS operate the machine with the Engine Speed Switch at full throttle. Use the Drive Pedal (OO) not the Engine Speed Switch
(G) to control the speed of the machine. The speed of the machine will increase as the pedal is pushed closer to the oor. Do not press the
Drive Pedal (OO) until the engine has started.
IMPORTANT NOTE: During normal operation the engine will continue to run for a short period of time (1-3 seconds) after turning the key
OFF until all fuel is dispelled from fuel system.

SWEEPING
Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual.
1 While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (51)
and (NN).
2 Release the Parking Brake (GG). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive
Pedal (OO) to go forward or the rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
3 Push the Lower Hopper Switch (V) to make sure the hopper is seated properly.
4 Move the Main Broom Lever (II) to the SWEEP (middle notch) position to lower and enable the main broom. NOTE: The dump door
opens automatically when the main broom (II) is lowered and closes when the broom is raised.
Use the FULL FLOAT (last notch forward) position only when sweeping extremely rough or uneven oors. Use at other times will only
increase broom wear.
5 When sweeping dry oors, push the Dust Control Switch (X) to turn ON the dust control system.
When sweeping oors with puddles, push the Dust Control Switch (X) to turn OFF the dust control system before the machine enters a
puddle. Turn the dust control system back ON when the machine is back on completely dry oor.
When sweeping wet oors, keep the Dust Control Switch (X) OFF at all times.
6 Lower the Side Broom(s) (N) when sweeping along walls or curbs. Raise the Side Broom(s) (Y) when sweeping in open areas. Push
and hold the Side Broom ON/DOWN Switch (N) to lower and start the side broom motor(s). NOTE: Hold the switch until the side
broom(s) have lowered to the desired level. Side broom sweeping pattern is adjusted by pushing switches (N & Y) until the desired
amount of down pressure is achieved. NOTE: If the side broom(s) were not raised and turned OFF after last use, they will automatically
lower and turn ON when the main broom is lowered and starts.
7 Drive the machine straight forward at a quick walking speed. Drive the machine slower when sweeping large amounts of dust or debris
or when safe operation dictates slower speeds. Overlap passes 6 inches (15 cm).
8 If dust comes out of the broom housing while sweeping, the Dust Control Filter (19) may be clogged. Push the Shaker Switch (Q) to
clean the dust control lter. The dust control system (X) will automatically turn OFF while the shaker is running and turn ON after the
shaker turns OFF (the shaker runs for 20 seconds).
9 Check behind the machine occasionally to make sure that the machine is picking up debris. Dirt left behind in the path of the machine
usually indicates that the machine is moving too fast, the broom needs to be adjusted, or the hopper is full.
EMPTYING THE HOPPER
1 Push the Shaker Switch (Q) to remove excess dirt from the dust control lter. SERVICE NOTE: For best shaker performance always
run the shaker with the hopper fully down.
2 Drive the machine close to a large trash receptacle and hold the Raise Hopper Switch (W) until the hopper is all the way up. NOTE:
The dump door automatically closes when switch (W) is pushed. You regain control of the dump door as soon as the hopper begins to
raise so you can dump at any height if necessary.
3 Move the machine forward until the hopper is over the receptacle, then press the Open Dump Door Switch (R) to open the dump door
and empty the hopper.
4 Check the back of the hopper and the front of the broom housing. Use a broom, if necessary, to remove litter from these areas. The
back of the hopper must seal tightly against the front of the broom housing for proper operation.
5 Back the machine away from the receptacle until the hopper will clear it, and then lower the hopper (V). NOTE: The dump door will
automatically open when sweep function is resumed.

SCRUBBING
Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual.
1 While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (51)
and (NN).
2 Release the Parking Brake (GG). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive
Pedal (OO) to go forward or the rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
3 Adjust the Solution Flow Control Lever (HH) to about 1/4 to 1/3 open (40%-100% on AXP/EDS) position. The adjustment can be
changed to allow variable solution ow for different types of oors to be scrubbed. Example: A rough or absorbent oor surface, such as
un nished concrete will require more solution than a smooth nished oor.
4 Press the Solution Switch (K) and hold for 5 seconds. This is done to pre-wet the oor. Note: This will help prevent scarring of the oor
surface when starting to scrub with dry brushes.
5 Press the Scrub Pressure Decrease Switch (H) or the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (I) to activate the scrub system.
6 When the Scrub Pressure Decrease Switch (H) or the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (I) are selected, the brushes and squeegee are
automatically lowered to the oor. The machine’s scrub brush rotation, solution system ow, detergent ow(AXP/EDS only) and vacuum
starts when the Drive Pedal (OO) is activated. Note: When operating the machine in reverse, only the brushes will rotate, the solution
and detergent(AXP/EDS only) is automatically shut off and the squeegee 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 ow according to the condition of the oor.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the 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 For extremely dirty 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 rst pass the squeegee is in the up position (press the Vacuum Switch (Z)
to raise the squeegee). This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the oor to work longer. The nal pass is made over the same
area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.
10 The recovery tank has an automatic vacuum shut-off to prevent solution from entering the vacuum system when the recovery tank is full.
When the vacuum shut-off is activated, the control system will shut down the vacuum system. The Recovery Tank FULL Indicator (M) will
light. When the vacuum shut-off is activated, the recovery tank must be emptied.
11 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the Scrub System OFF Switch (AA) once. This will
automatically stop the scrub brushes, solution ow, detergent ow(AXP/EDS only) and the scrub deck will raise UP. NOTE: the vacuum/
squeegee system will not be turned off when the switch is only pressed once. This is to allow any remaining water to be picked up
without turning the vacuum back on. Press the switch a second time and the squeegee will raise and the vacuum will stop after a 10
second delay.
12 Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (7) from
its storage area and then remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled ow
of waste water). Re ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.
SERVICE NOTE: Refer to the service manual for detailed functional descriptions of all controls and optional programmability.
