Ergonomic design and superior scrub system deliver
maximum efficiency and cleaning performance
The Advance SC3000 Compact Rider Scrubber takes automatic rider scrubber technology to a new level of scrubbing
performance. Easier operation, green-cleaning results and, above all, a new patented scrubbing deck that performs
the hard work for you. Featuring a compact design, the SC3000 provides user-friendly, maneuverable operation in
multiple cleaning applications—including those with limited access. Quiet Mode™ makes daytime cleaning in
educational facilities and cleaning of noise-sensitive healthcare facilities viable. Plus, with enhanced driver
compartment features and a large 21 gallon tank, the SC3000 ensures maximum operator comfort and safety
for over an hour of continuous scrubbing on a single tank of water.
Innovative deck
The SC3000 SafetyGlide™ Deck eliminates wasted time
and money spent on making adjustments and replacing
side skirts. Simply turn the steering wheel; as the machine
turns, the deck automatically moves in line with the path
of the rear squeegee, resulting in 100% water pick-up.
Plus, with a spring-loaded safety deck design, you no
longer have to worry about accuracy or accidental contact
for edge cleaning. The deck ensures precise, straight edge
cleaning results without additional labor-intensive detail
edge mopping.
Control at your fingertips
The machine control panel is fully integrated into the
steering wheel. A left nger-tip paddle controls the
EcoFlex™ System burst of power feature, while the right
paddle engages reverse operation. An easy-to-read graphical
display quickly indicates the amount of clean water left in
the tank, detergent ratio being used and machine hours of
use. Plus, at the touch of a button, you can quickly switch to
Quiet Mode operation for noise sensitive areas.
Green meets clean
The Advance SC3000 delivers increased value with the
standard EcoFlex™ System, controlling the consumption
of water, detergent and energy so effectively that real
savings can be gained without compromising
performance. With the EcoFlex™ System, you can easily
match cleaning performance to the soil on the floor and
the required level of clean. More soil? No problem.
Activate the “burst of power” for extra cleaning
performance and easily return to the original settings for
minimum usage of water, detergent and power.

The EcoFlex™ System ensures
that detergent and water are
mixed in the exact proportions
needed to ensure optimal
cleaning results
Large opening to the
recovery tank allows
easy cleaning

Low step for easy on/off

3 Patented automatic speed control
features built-in accelerometer to sense
if machine is moving too quickly on
turns, automatically slowing it down to
prevent accidental tipping and increase
operator safety
4 Quiet Mode allows operators to quickly
reduce noise levels for daytime cleaning
and in noise sensitive environments
The SafetyGlide™ Deck automatically moves
in line with the path of the rear squeegee
when the steering wheel turns.
Built-in squeegee hanging system on tank
allows for safe transportation through
doorways and tight areas, while
permitting tank drying.
The squeegee hose eliminates the need
for a drain hose and also helps rinse the
recovery tank clean and reduces dirt
build-up.
Large opening to the recovery tank allows
easy cleaning. A debris catch cage traps
large debris – helping to prevent
clogged drains.
