The chassis system consists of a tubular frame that provides the main substructure for the rest of the
machine. To support the concentrated weight of the batteries, the battery box rests directly on the chassis.
The solution tank bolts to the chassis to support the tank and make it more rigid.
The forward drive wheel is connect to the frame through a thrust bearing block for rotational movement. An
integral (welded) rear axle through the frame transfers the load of the machine to the rear idler (non-driven)
wheels.
The scrub deck lift actuator and linkages mounts to the underside of the frame. This assembly is not
normally removed from the system during maintenance. Similarly, the squeegee lift mechanism mounts
directly to the underside of the frame via ball joints that permit vertical and lateral movement.

Control System
Functional Description
Within the Focus system there are two primary controllers: the Main Machine Controller (A1) and the
Wheel Drive controller (A2). The Main Machine Controller controls the primary machine functions, and the
Wheel controller controls the drive functions. The Wheel controller communicates with the Main Machine
Controller to inform the Main Machine Controller of machine movement status.
H
Control Panel
The control panel (display) is an
integral component with the Main
Machine Controller (A1) circuit board.
Key Switch (A): The key switch
serves as a main control switch to
enable or disable operation of the
machine. The key is removable to
prevent unwanted operation when
not in use. The key switch doesn’t
disconnect any power circuits, but
instead, sends a signal to both the
Main Machine Controller and Wheel
Drive controller to indicate the On/Off
function.

Reverse Switch (C) and Indicator
(B): The reverse switch activates a toggle function within the Main Machine Controller. The Main Machine
Controller then sends a reverse command to the Wheel controller by pulling the (J3-3) output high. When
the Indicator (B) is lit, pressing down on the foot pedal will cause the machine to move in reverse.
Speed Increase/Decrease Switches (D & E): These switches set the upper speed limit of the machine
for the full throttle position. The machine speed limit is controlled within the Main Machine Controller,
and the Main Machine Controller communicates this setting to the Wheel controller. For Wheel controllers,
the speed limit function is typically controlled with a 3-wire potentiometer. The Main Machine Controller
contains an electronically controlled potentiometer.
Graphic Display (F): Machine operation information is presented to the operator on the graphic display.
F1: Detergent Strength Indicator (for detergent systems only).

Horn Switch (G): Activates the horn
Scrub On/Off Switch (M): Pressing this switch will toggle the scrub system on and off. When active, the
scrub deck will lower for the Deck Down Time. When the machine begins to move, the squeegee will lower
F7
Page 17
Control System17Service Manual – Focus II / Scrubtec R6 Rider Autoscrubber
and the solution and vacuum systems will turn on. The brushes will turn on and the scrub deck will continue
to lower until the expected motor amperage is reached.
Brush Pressure Increase and Decrease Switches (H & K): When scrub mode is active, pressing these
switches will increase or decrease the scrub brush pressure. The three indicator LEDs (H) will illuminate to
represent High, Medium, and Low pressure settings.
Solution Switch (O): The solution system will be active when the Scrub On/Off system is engaged.
Pressing this switch will cycle through the solution rates (Normal, Medium, High, and Off). The solution
ow will turn on only when the machine is in forward transport. The solution ow will turn off if the throttle
returns to neutral or reverse transport is active. Pressing this switch when the scrub system is off will
momentarily turn the solution ow on to allow pre-wetting of the scrub brushes.
Vacuum Switch (Q): The vacuum system will be automatically active when the Scrub system is active.
This switch is used to toggle the vacuum system on or off independent of whether the scrub system is active
or not.
Detergent Switch (R): The detergent injection system is an optional accessory. The detergent pump is
active only when the solution pump is active. Pressing this switch will cycle through the detergent ratios.
Main Machine Controller
The Main Machine Controller (A1), which includes
the control board and the display, is the primary
electronic control for the Focus machine and its
functions (except drive control). The control board is
the basic input/output device and contains a microcontroller chip to regulate function. The controller
receives and interprets user inputs, sensor inputs,
and even some motor amperage readings, and
controls device output for the user display, solenoid
operation, and motor control. Most low and medium
power outputs are controlled with power MOSFET
transistors, and very high power devices (vacuum
and brush motors) controlled with external motor
contactors.
J3 Connector
J1 Connector
J2 Connector
Key Switch
Another function of the Main Machine controller is
to detect any system failures and display an error code on the display panel or store it in the main control
board’s memory. The error code(s) are used to help the service person determine the fault and to quickly
guide in repairing a specic system malfunction. An additional special feature of the main control board is
to change program settings for a set of specic machine functions. See the section,Main Machine Controller
Programming described on page 19 for further information.

Deck Type
To ensure proper operation of the motor(s), the controller needs to know what type of deck is installed on the
machine. The options are: 28” Boost, 40” Disk, 34” Disc, 28” Cyl., 28” Disc. This parameter must be set when
replacing the Main Machine Controller.
Battery Charger
If no onboard charger is present or the Delta-Q IC650 is installed, this parameter must be set to “None”.
If the machine is equipped with the optional S.P.E onboard battery charger, then the controller needs
to know the type of batteries installed in the machine. This information is communicated from the Main
Machine controller to the S.P.E battery charger, so that it uses the correct charging prole for the batteries.
If the installed batteries are rated for 150 amp-hour (or less) discharge, then a 15-amp charging rate must be
selected.
Chemical (Detergent) Selection
The detergent selection menu is used to disable the detergent system or to set the display type for the
detergent ratio.
• Onboard Chemical, activates the onboard detergent system.
• No Onboard Chemical, disables the onboard detergent system.
Detergent Mode
This function is not currently available.
• 1. Off
Page 21
Control System21Service Manual – Focus II / Scrubtec R6 Rider Autoscrubber
Vacuum Selection
The Focus machine may contain an optional second vacuum motor. It is important that this option be
identied to the controller in order for the controller to properly monitor the amperage for one or two motors.
If this option is not properly set, the Main Machine controller may report an over-current error.
• 1 Vacuum Motor
• 2 Vacuum Motors
Low Voltage Cutout
This option protects the batteries from being overly discharged. When the battery level reaches the low
voltage cutout threshold, the scrub system will shut off. The value of the low voltage cutout is dependant on
the type of battery being used, as described below.
• Main (Maintenance) Free Battery 70%
LVC = 21.75V
• Wet Battery 80%
LVC = 20.55V
Max (Maximum) Scrub Speed
This function is not currently implemented and maximum scrub speed is not limited (100% of transport
speed).
• 100% of Transport
Lockout Brush Pre (Pressure)
This function is not currently implemented. Certain scrub pressures can be locked out so they are not
selectable during normal operation. If two pressures are locked out, then the machine will operate with only
the single remaining pressure available.
• 1. None
Lockout Sol (Solution) Flows
This function is not currently implemented. Certain solution rates can be locked out so they are not
selectable during normal operation. If two rates are locked out, then the machine will operate with only the
single remaining solution rate available.
• 1. None
Chemical (Detergent) Rate Bias
This function is not currently implemented. To ensure that the actual detergent rate is consistent with the
user-selectable ratio, the rate can be biased up or down by 10%.
• 1. None
Deck Down Time
The initial lowering of the scrub deck is timed, because there will not be any brush motor amperage to
monitor for determining when to stop lowering the deck. This is used by engineering during development.
Under normal circumstances, this should not need to be changed.
• x.x Seconds
(1.0 to 5.0 in 0.1 increment)
Restore Defaults
Activating this setting will restore all of the memory settings to their factory default values. When the key
switch is next turned on, the controller will enter program mode to set the deck type.

Display Rev Level
This entry displays the revision level of the software within the control board.
Fault Recall
This entry displays any fault codes stored in memory. Refer to Main Controller Error Codes described on
page 23 for a list of error codes. If no fault exists, the display will show “--”.
Fault Detection
This option will allow service personnel to override some of the fault detection checks to facilitate
troubleshooting. If a fault occurs in a particular system, that system (and possibly others) will be shut down.
This can make troubleshooting the system difcult. This will not disable the over-current protection on
any of the systems. Important: Make sure to turn Fault Detection back on (Enable) before returning the
machine to normal operation.
Service Test Mode
Service test mode provides access to all of the machine’s motor and solenoid functions. This allows the
technician to exercise the components for testing and troubleshooting. Refer to Service Test Mode described

Mode requires turning off the key switch.)
Backup Alarm Vol (Volume)
Whenever the machine is moving in the reverse direction, the backup alarm can sound to notify bystanders
that the machine is backing up. There are 4 options for the volume, including disabling the function (off, low,
medium, and high).
FWD Alarm Vol (Forward)
Whenever the machine is moving in the forward direction, the forward alarm can sound to notify bystanders
that the machine is moving forward. This may be benecial if the machine is used in high trafc areas with
many bystanders. There are 4 options for the volume, including disabling the function (off, low, medium, and
high).
Horn Volume
The horn will sound when the horn switch is pressed. There are 4 options for the volume, including disabling
the function (off, low, medium, and high).
Panel Test
This diagnostic function is used to test the lights and switches (buttons) of the machine display. When
activated, all of the lights on the display will be illuminated. As each switch on the display is pressed, the
LCD will display the name of the button, and a counter to indicate how many buttons have been pressed. To
exit the Panel Test mode, the key switch must be turned to the off position.
Troubleshooting Guide
Any error codes detected by the main control board will be shown on the display panel as they occur. If more
than one error exists the display will sequence through the error codes at one-second intervals. The error
will display as a mechanical wrench symbol (F5) followed by a two-digit code (F6).

Sample Shop Voltage Measurements
Examining signals sent and received at the control board can be very effective in determining if external
components are functioning as expected or if the control board is processing them as expected. The tables
below show sample voltage measurements taken from a Focus machine. Actual voltages will vary from
machine to machine, and with battery charge level.
The majority of voltage measurements will be dependant on the battery voltage of the machine at the time.
The nominal battery voltage is 24 volts, but depending on the charge state of the battery, the actual voltage
may be higher or lower. With regard to digital logic signals, the terms “High (voltage)” and “Low (voltage)”
mean a voltage value equal (or close to) Battery-Positive and BatteryNegative, respectively. VCC is a special voltage value that is independent of the
battery voltage, and is regulated to be close to 5.0 volts by the Main Machine
Controller’s circuit board.
Some signals are Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) This means that these
signals are being turned On and Off at a high rate. Even though their
instantaneous voltage jumps from 24V to 0V, your voltmeter will average these
On/Off jumps into an equivalent voltage somewhere in between 24 and 0 volts.
The “≈“ symbol means “approximately”.
To aid in taking voltage measurements from the cable connectors without
removing the connector, a T-shaped push pin connected to the voltmeter probe
wire works well (see image to the right).

Removal and Installation
Main Control Board
The main control board and the operator’s display are integral components to one another and cannot be
separated.
Caution! The main power connection to the
control board is unswitched. Make
sure to disconnect the battery
connector to avoid damaging the
control board.
1. If this procedure is being performed to replace a
defective control board, and if that control board
is functional enough to do so, enter the Main
Machine Controller Programming menu described
on page 19 and record the existing program
parameters.
2. Turn off the key switch and disconnect the battery
cable connector.
3. Remove the 5 screws (1) that secure the control board to the steering column.
4. Lift the control board away from the steering column, taking care not to stress the wiring harness.
5. Remove the two screws (2) that secure the two
wires (3 & 4) to the key switch terminals.
• During replacement, take care not to install
the battery power (3) to the normally closed
terminal (5). This terminal should not be used.
6. Remove the screw (6) that secures the ground
wire (7) to the control board, and remove the wire.
7. Disconnect the cable connectors (J1, J2, & J3)
from the control board.
8. Remove the control board.
9. After replacing the control board with a new one,
the controller will automatically enter the hidden
menu system when the key switch is turned on. The deck type for the machine must be set before the
machine will operate.

10. Continue navigating through the Main Machine Controller Programming menu described on page 19
and restore all of the appropriate settings.
The Focus II machine is powered using four, 6-volt batteries connected in series, for a total system nominal
voltage of 24 volts. To protect the batteries from over discharge, the system is protected with a 150 amp fuse
(F1). With the exception of the optional on-board battery charger, all other connections are downstream
from this main fuse.
There are 2 resettable circuit breakers that protect the electronics. A 70 amp circuit breaker (CB1) protects
the Wheel Drive Controller (A2). A 10 amp circuit breaker (CB2) protects the Main Machine Controller.
The brush contactor coil, vacuum contactor coil, and solution solenoid are also downstream from this circuit
breaker. If these circuit breakers trip, their respective button will pop up. Pressing the button back in after
the overload has cleared will reset the breaker.
Safety Circuit
A series of switches acts as a safety circuit to prevent certain machine operations under different conditions.
The easiest way to describe their function is from last to rst, because each upstream switch does the same
thing as all downstream switches, but removes slightly more functionality.
The last of these is the seat switch. When the seat switch is open (no operator on seat), then control power
is removed from the Wheel Drive controller. The Main Machine controller still has power, but the software
is notied that the seat circuit (or E-stop) is open. The E-stop is similar to the seat switch, except it also
disables power to several key components, such as the brush and vacuum contactor coils, the solution
solenoid, and the optional ashing light. When an optional onboard battery charger is present, its internal
interlock switch disables the same components as the E-stop, and opens the circuit whenever the charger is
operating (plugged in to power).
The rst switch in the circuit is the main key switch. It disables the same functions as all other switches
downstream from it, but also disables most of the control power to the Main Machine controller too. The
Main Machine controller always has some power (unless the batteries are disconnected).
The Focus machine is equipped with a low-voltage cutout feature to prevent over-discharging of the
batteries. When the machine’s battery voltage falls below the dened threshold, the scrub system is
automatically shut down to preserve battery power until the machine can be recharged. The voltage cutout
level is adjustable for different battery types, because different battery types can sustain different levels of
discharge without degradation. (Refer to the section, Low Voltage Cutout described on page 21).
Onboard Battery Chargers
An optional S.P.E battery chager or Delta_Q IC650 charger may be installed on the machine. Early
machines used the S.P.E charger and later machines use the Delta-Q charger. Early machines may also be
retrotted to accept the Delta-Q charger.
Figure 1. Delta-Q Charger
Interlock Circuit
Both types of battery chargers have an “interlock circuit” which consists of an internal relay that interrupts
power to the drive wheel speed controller when the charger is plugged into an AC power outlet. This
prevents the machine from being propelled while the batteries are charging.
S.P.E. Charging Profiles and Charging Progress
When the S.P.E. battery charger is plugged in, the graphic
display will show the charging prole in use, and a battery icon
with 0 to 5 bars to show the charging progress.
The S.P.E. battery charger and A1 Control Board communicate with one another on a wire that runs
between them. Each time the battery charger is plugged in, the charger contacts the Controller by sending
out a positive voltage on the communication wire to nd out what kind of batteries are in the machine. It
needs to know this in order to use the correct charging prole. The Controller responds and provides the
battery type information it has stored in memory. The charger then tells the Controller which charging
prole it will use and begins charging the batteries.
Refer to the Control System, Main Machine Controller Programming Options section for information
on how to tell the controller what kind of batteries are used in the machine. If the charger is unable to
communicate with the controller it will use the prole for a wet battery at a 25-amp rate as a default.
Figure 2. S.P.E. Charger
Page 32
Delta-Q Charging Profiles and Charging Progress
The Delta-Q battery charger does not communicate with the main machine
controller. It is a “stand-alone” unit. Models that have the Delta-Q charger have a
separate LED to communicate charging progress. By pressing a button on the
charger you can see what charging prole is in use. If you replace the batteries with a
different type of battery or replace the battery charger, you must select the correct
charging prole to be compatible with the batteries. There are a set of proles stored
inside the charger. You can interface directly with the charger to select the prole to
be used from that set. See the Delta-Q IC650 Product Manual (710-0138-Delta-Q.pdf)
for complete instructions on selecting the prole. Use the Delta-Q Battery Charging
Prole Table below to choose the prole to match the batteries that are in the

• Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
• Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
• To avoid damage to floor surfaces, wipe water and acid from the top of the batteries after
charging.
If your machine shipped with an onboard battery charger, turn the Key Switch off. Unwind the electrical
cord from the side of the onboard charger and plug it into a properly grounded outlet. Conrm that the
correct charging prole is in use. Refer to the OEM product manual for more detailed operating instructions.
If your machine uses an external battery charger, unplug the battery connector (1) from the machine
connector (2), and plug the battery connector (1) into the charger. Follow the instructions on the battery
charger.
Extending Battery Life
Proper maintenance of electric vehicle batteries can greatly extend their life. The following information will
help extend the life of your batteries.
• Your battery will deliver superior performance and life if it is recharged properly. Excessive charging
or discharging will shorten battery life and limit performance. Be sure to follow proper charging
instructions.
• Make sure you have an appropriate charger for the type of battery. Use only “voltage-regulated” or
“voltage-limited” chargers. Standard constant-current or taper current chargers must not be used. A
temperature-sensing charger is recommended.
• Important! Do not attempt to open sealed gel batteries or add water. Doing so will damage the battery
and void the warranty.
• For wet batteries, maintain proper electrolyte level and check weekly. Use distilled water in batteries
whenever possible. If the batteries are discharged, add just enough water to cover the plates in each cell,
and recheck the level after charging (this prevents over-lling the battery). If batteries are fully charged,
ll each cell to the bottom of the ller tube. Do not over-ll the batteries! Do not add acid to batteries!
• Keep the batteries charged. Batteries should be charged each time that a machine is used for more than 1
hour. Machine operators should open the battery compartment cover for charging, to avoid a concentrated
build-up of hydrogen gas. Operators should follow the instructions provided with their specic battery
charger, to determine how long the batteries should be charged. Even when a machine is stored, the
batteries should be charged once a month to prevent the batteries from “sulfating”. Most battery caps are
vented, so there’s no need to loosen or remove them for charging.
• Keep the batteries clean. Use a damp cloth to wipe dirt from the top of the batteries. Battery terminals
must be clean and tight. If the tops of the batteries are wet after charging, the batteries have probably
been overlled or over-charged. Note: If there is acid on the batteries, wash the tops of the batteries with
a solution of baking soda and water (2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water).
A battery problem is usually recognized by the machine operator as a decrease in the machine’s running
time. This condition is usually caused by one or more “dead cells” in the battery system. There are 2 ways to
nd a dead cell:
• Use a hydrometer to check the specic gravity (or “state of charge”) of the uid in each cell. A dead cell is
one that reads 50 points (or more) lower than the other cells.
• Use a volt meter to check the voltage of each battery. Look for a battery with a voltage that is 1 or 2 volts
less than the other batteries. Check under the following conditions:
• With the batteries fully charged,
• With the scrub and drive motors running,
• With the batteries discharged, but still above the voltage cutoff threshold.
If the batteries in the machine are more than 1 year old, it’s usually best to replace the whole set, rather than
replacing one or two batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can result in over-charging problems.
1. Turn the Key Switch to the off position and disconnect
the main battery connector (1).
2. Disconnect the vacuum motor connector and remove the
Recovery Tank described on page 52.
3. Remove the cables from the batteries, and remove the
batteries. Make note of the battery polarity and cable
locations.
4. Install the new batteries into the compartment. Note the
orientation of the batteries shown to the right. Not all of
the batteries are oriented the same way.
Caution!
If you change the type of batteries (Wet VS Gel), you
must change the charging profile used by
the battery charger to be compatible with
the new type of batteries.
5. Put a rubber boot over each end of the battery cables.

Specifications
Wet Cell Battery Specifications:
• Use a combination of multiple 6-volt units to construct a 24 Volt DC battery pack system.
• Advance recommended battery pack capacity is a 305 AH @ 20 Hour Rate deep cycle battery system.
Note: The battery pack must t the battery compartment size listed in Specications.
Wet Cell Battery Charger Specifications
• Use a 24 Volt DC output charger matching the DC battery pack voltage and the input AC line voltage
supply being used.
• When selecting a battery charger always follow the recommendation of the battery supplier to match the
proper charger DC output amperage to the amp/hour rating batteries being installed. This will prevent
the battery pack from being over or under charged.

“Early” machines were built to accept the S.P.E. battery charger. These may have been modied to accept
the Delta-Q IC650 battery charger. “Late” machines were built to accept the Delta-Q IC650 battery charger.
The difference in the wiring diagrams is around the charger interlock circuit. If the machine you are working
on, has a Delta-Q battery charger, use the “late” diagram. If it has the S.P.E charger, use the “early”
diagram. If there is no charger, determine the correct diagram on the basis of the serial number.

THIS DRAWINGAND THE DESIGN REPRESENTED HEREON IS THE PROPERTY OFNILFISK-ADVANCE,INC.,
The Focus machine may be equipped with
optional accessories, such as different scrub
decks and squeegee sizes. It may also be
equipped with the additional accessories
described below.
• The most common additional accessory
is the on-board battery charger. This is
located below the operator’s seat on the
left side of the machine.
• The optional detergent injection system
is located just below the operator’s seat.
The removable detergent cartridge
(bottle) can be lled with concentrated
detergent, and a small electric pump will
inject this detergent into the solution line
at a controlled ratio. Refer to the Solution
System chapter beginning on page 67
for more information.
• The warning beacon may be added
for increased visibility of the machine
when it is operated in high trafc
environments. The light operates
whenever the machine is in a ready state
to operate (key on and E-stop off).
• A second vacuum motor may be added
for greater suction ow through larger
squeegees. (The squeegee is typically
sized according to the size of the scrub
deck.)
• The Wand option is an add-on accessory
that provides for spot cleanup in areas
where the machine may not be able to
reach. The wand connects to the vacuum
hose leading to the squeegee.
• The Battery Fill Indicator provides a
quick visual indication of when one of
the battery cells is low and needs water
added. It is installed in place of one of the
battery ll caps. The wire lead goes to
the battery negative terminal. When the
level is Okay, the green LED is lit.

Recovery System
Functional Description
The recovery system extracts wastewater from the
oor and deposits it into the on-board recovery tank.
The oor squeegee is wider than the swath of the
scrub deck to ensure collection of all wastewater from
the perimeter of the scrubbing area. The squeegee
also pivots to the side to permit operation near walls
and to keep the squeegee within the scrubbing path
while turning the machine.
Vacuum Motor and Recovery Tank
The vacuum motor generates airow through the
recovery tank and suction hose to the squeegee. The
high velocity air at the squeegee pulls the wastewater
off the oor and up through the suction hose. As the
mixture of air and water enters the recovery tank, the
airow slows down due to the larger space, and the
water drops out of the airow and into the tank.
The airow passes through an inlet screen to prevent
debris from entering the impeller of the vacuum
motor. The exhaust air is expelled inside the machine
so it can be dispersed without blowing directly on the
operator or the work environment.
To prevent wastewater from entering the vacuum
motor, a oat ball blocks the vacuum inlet when the
recovery tank is full.
Power to the vacuum motor is controlled by a motor contactor, which is a motor-rated relay. When the
contacts close, the circuit between the vacuum motor and the positive battery power is completed. The
positive terminal of the contactor coil is energized whenever the key switch is on and the E-Stop is not
engaged. The negative terminal of the contactor coil is controlled by the Main Machine Controller.
The contactor coil is controlled by the switching of the negative terminal via the J3-12 terminal of the Focus
II control board (A1). The output of the J3-12 terminal is PWM controlled to reduce the effective voltage
on the contactor’s coil. This PWM signal does not impact the actual vacuum motor voltage, only the coil’s
voltage. The PWM signal begins high to pull the contacts together, and then reduces power to just enough to
hold the contacts closed.
The Main Machine Controller monitors the performance of the vacuum motor by observing the voltage drop
across the negative power wire leading to the motor. The more current owing through the wire, the larger
the voltage drop. The controller uses this voltage reading to calculate the amperage running through the
motor.
Whenever there is a vacuum problem, it’s best to check over the entire system. Use the checklist below as a
guide to thoroughly check the vacuum system.
• Inspect and clean the vacuum motor oat ball. If the ball is dirty, it may get stuck in the closed position,
or close enough to it to be drawn into the closed position from the moving airow.
• Inspect the vacuum motor inlet screen and clean any built-up debris from the screen.
• Clean built-up dirt from the inside of the squeegee tool.
• Replace the squeegee blades if they are nicked or torn.
• Inspect the hose between the squeegee tool and the recovery tank and rinse any built-up dirt from the
hose. Replace the hose if it is kinked or damaged.
• Inspect and make sure the gasket on the recovery tank cover is sealing and not damaged.
• Make sure that the recovery tank drain hose cap seals airtight.
ProblemCauseCorrection

• Check the vacuum motor contactor for proper

Poor suctionUnknown:
Leak versus Clog
Clogged vacuum• Inspect and clean the vacuum motor inlet lter
Vacuum leaks• Inspect the gasket on the recovery tank cover
To determine whether the problem is a leak versus
a clog, remove the suction hose from the squeegee
and completely block the hose with your hand and
observe the suction. Then tilt your hand to allow free
airow, and observe the speed of the airow past your
hand.
Alternatively, you may complete the Vacuum Suction
Test described on page 51.
• Strong suction when blocked and weak airow
when unblocked indicates a clog.
• Weak suction when blocked, but strong airow
when unblocked indicates a leak.
• Weak suction and weak airow indicate either a
massive leak, or a failing vacuum motor.
• Inspect the suction hose between the squeegee
tool and the recovery tank
• Inspect and clean the squeegee tool
• Inspect the suction hose between the squeegee
tool and recovery tank for loose connection, holes,
or damage
• Inspect the squeegee blades for nicks, cuts, and
damage
• Inspect the recovery tank drain hose and cap for
leaks
Use this procedure to verify that the vacuum system is performing within factory specications. This
procedure can also be used to isolate the cause of a vacuum problem between a clog or leak. It is a two-part
procedure that veries both static pressure and ow rate. This procedure requires a vacuum gauge (PN
56205281), a piece of 1½" PVC (or similar) tube, a 1" hole saw, and some duct tape (or similar, for a seal).
1. Remove the suction hose (3) from the squeegee
and then turn on the vacuum.
2. Place the vacuum gauge (7) on the hose so the
taper (7A) seals against the end of the hose (3A).
3. Record the vacuum pressure reading from the
gauge. This is the static pressure.
4. Turn the vacuum off while constructing and
tting the PVC restricter tube (8).

5. Cut a piece of 1½" PVC approximately 6" long,
and clean off the burs. The outer diameter of the
tube should be close to, but not larger than 2".
6. Drill a 1" hole (8A) approximately in the middle of
the PVC tube, and clean off the burs.
7. As necessary, wrap duct tape (8B) around the
tube so it ts snugly in the end of the end of the
suction hose (3A) with no leaks.
8. Turn the vacuum on and place the vacuum gauge
on the restricter tube.
9. Record the vacuum pressure reading from the
gauge. This is the restricted ow pressure.
Results Summary
The rst part of this procedure determined the static pressure of the vacuum system, and the second part
determined the ow rate (by calculation). The ow rate through a restriction (8A) is determined by the
pressure differential across the restriction. These two parameters may be used to determine if the vacuum
system is functioning properly, and may also be used to isolate a possible cause for a problem.
• If the static pressure is at least 55 psi, then the vacuum motor(s) are functioning properly and there are
no signicant leaks in the system.
• If the restricted ow pressure is at least 10 psi for a single vacuum, or 20 psi for a dual vacuum, then
there are no signicant clogs in the system.
• If both parameters are below specications, then one or both vacuum motors may be failing, or there may
Removing the recovery tank is generally a prerequisite procedure for completing other maintenance
procedures and gain access to other components.
1. Turn off the main key switch.
2. Remove the drain hose cap (2), and drain
the recovery tank. You may also wish to
rinse and ush the tank before removing
it.
3. Lift the operator’s seat and disconnect the
power connector (5) for the vacuum motor.
If there are two vacuum motors, make
sure to disconnect both of them.
4. Remove the suction hose (3) from the
squeegee (4).

The Focus machine can be congured for a variety of
different scrub deck types and sizes. Depending on the
size, the disc-type deck may have two drive motors or
three drive motors. Each type is described in greater
detail below.
Limit Switch
Access
Deck Lift
The deck lift mechanism and deck lift actuator control
the raising and lowering of all deck types. All deck types
and sizes mount universally to the deck lift linkage.
The raised position of the lift actuator is the same
for all deck types, and is controlled by a limit switch
inside the actuator. The operating position for the
disc and cylindrical decks is controlled via feedback of
the amperage of the brush motors. Positioning for the
boost deck does not use amperage feedback. Instead, an
extra set of position switches are located inside the lift
actuator to tell the controller when the deck is in one of
two operating positions.

Drive Motors
Unlike most other motors in the Focus system, the Brush motors are not PWM speed controlled, but are
either full-on or full-off. The primary on/off function is controlled with the brush motor contactor (K1)
located in the main electrical panel under the operator’s seat. The output of this contactor is all-on or all-off,
but the power to the coil is PWM controlled to increase the life of the coil. At the time of the initial contact
closure, the controller provides a full PWM signal to the coil to pull the contacts closed, but then reduces the
PWM duty cycle while holding the contacts closed because less power is needed to keep them closed versus
pulling them closed.
Disc Deck
The disc deck is available in 3 sizes. The 28” and
34” decks use two drive motors and two brush discs,
and the 40” deck uses three motors and three brush
discs. The machine uses the same wiring harness
for all deck types, so it is important to program the
controller to know what type of deck is installed.
The two or three drive motors connect to their
respective brush discs through a right angle gear
boxes. The rotation direction of the individual brushes
is dictated by the rotation of the gear box, instead
of changing the electrical polarity of the motor. This
allows the motors to be connected in any fashion to
the wiring harness.
The cylindrical deck uses two counter-rotating
horizontal brushes. Each brush is driven by
its own motor via a drive pulley. The counterrotation is achieved because both motors
rotate the same direction, but are facing in
opposite directions from one another.
The cylindrical deck uses the same current
Squeegee
sensing methodology for detecting brush
pressure as the disc deck, but with slightly
different values and for only 2 motors.
The counter rotating motion of the brushes
permits large debris to be propelled into the
hopper behind the deck.
Boost Deck (Clarke models only)
The boost deck operates on an orbital motion instead
of a rotational motion. The rectangular pad moves
in a small circle but does not rotate. This orbital
movement is created from an eccentric lobe, where
the rotation of the motor’s shaft is off-axis from the
center of the pad. Rubber isolation mounts allow the
pad to move in this small circular motion without
rotating.

Because this small orbital motion results in a

pressure results in only small variations in motor
current for large variations in deck pressure. For

this reason, current sensing is not used for deck
pressure control.
Flex Plates
The lift actuator contains two extra position switches
to tell the controller what the physical position is of
the deck height. From these heights, deck pressure
is mathematically determined from the amount of
spring compression within the actuator’s leadscrew.
Circuit Overview
Scrub Deck Motors
Depending on the conguration of the machine, there will be 1, 2, or 3 brush motors. All motors are
connected in parallel from the same wiring harness. Power to the brush motor(s) is controlled by a motor
contactor, which is a motor-rated relay. When the contacts close, the circuit between the brush motor and
the positive battery power is completed. The positive terminal of the contactor coil is energized whenever the
key switch is on and the E-Stop is not engaged. The negative terminal of the contactor coil is controlled by
the Main Machine Controller.
The contactor coil is controlled by the switching of the negative terminal via the J1-13 terminal of the Focus
II control board (A1). The output of the J3-13 terminal is PWM controlled to reduce the effective voltage on
the contactor’s coil. This PWM signal does not impact the actual brush motor voltage, only the coil’s voltage.
The PWM signal begins high to pull the contacts together, and then reduces power to just enough to hold the
contacts closed.
The Main Machine Controller monitors the performance of the brush motor(s) by observing the voltage drop
across the negative power wire leading to the motor. The more current owing through the wire, the larger
the voltage drop. The controller uses this voltage reading to calculate the amperage running through the
motor.
The controller uses this calculated amperage to determine the scrub pressure of the deck. The controller
then raises and lowers the height of the scrub deck to keep the brush motor amperage within its desired
range.
Deck Lift Actuator
The deck lift actuator is powered directly from the Main Machine Controller. The Main Machine Controller
needs to reverse the polarity and power level to this motor in order to raise and lower the deck in very small
amounts to maintain pressure. The signal from the controller is reversible Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM).
(Refer to the Drive Motor System Function described on page 79 for more information on PWM control.)
The deck lift actuator contains two additional position switches (S5 & S6) not found in other actuators on
the machine. These switches provide position feedback to the controller, so the controller knows the height
of the deck independently from the amperage load on the brush motor(s). This permits the controller to set
the initial deck height more accurately than just approximating the position based on how long the motor
rotates. These switches are normally open, and they close when the respective position is reached.
To protect the lift actuator from traveling too far, it
contains internal limit switches for minimum and
maximum travel. This adjustment requires the use of
the Actuator Power Cord Adapter (99) (PN 56407502)
shown to the right.
Important: If this procedure is being completed on a
new actuator, it is important that you check
the orientation of the nut and springs inside
the spring housing. Refer to Deck Lift Actuator
described on page 61.
1. This procedure is best performed on a work bench.
Remove the Deck Lift Actuator described on page 61.
2. Connect the Power Cord Adapter (99) to the positive and negative battery terminals of the Focus II
machine.
3. Connect the other end of Power Cord Adapter (99) to the motor’s power connector. (The position switch
connector is not needed for this procedure.)

4. While holding the spring housing (2C) from turning, press the For/Rev switch on the Adapter (99) to
move the spring housing (2C) until the actuator reaches its limit switch and the motor stops:
• For Boost and Disk decks, move the actuator to its extended position.
• For Cylindrical decks, move the actuator to its retracted position.
5. Rotate the spring housing (2C) until the distance between the spring housing and gear housing (2M) is
as follows:
• 3.94±0.06 inches (extended) for Disk and Boost decks
• 0.75±0.09 inches (retracted) for Cylindrical decks.
Important: After the limit is adjusted and
until the actuator is back in the
machine, make sure not to rotate the
spring housing relative to the motor
housing.
6. Before disconnecting the Adapter cord
(99), move the spring housing back to the
approximate position it was in when you
removed it from the machine. Leave the
adapter cord connected to the battery,
but unplug it from the motor while
reinstalling the actuator.

Removal and Installation
Note: Three basic deck types are available for this
machine. When a specic deck type is not
critical to a procedure, it will be given a (1x)
item designation. When a deck type is critical
to a procedure, it will be given a designation as
follows: 3x-Disc, 4x-Cylindrical, and 5x-Boost.
Scrub Deck
Removing the scrub deck may be helpful for
accessing other components. It may also be necessary
to switch from one style/size scrub deck to another.
The same procedure is used for all scrub deck types.
Some images may not match this scrub deck style.
1. Using Service Test Mode described on page 22,
lower the scrub deck to a neutral position on the
oor, and then turn off the key switch (A).
2. For easier access to the upper retaining pin (2A),
and a better view, you may wish to remove the
Electrical Panel Cover described on page 37.
Note: For machines equipped with the onboard
detergent system, this access is behind the
detergent panel instead.
3. Loosen the hose clamp and remove the solution
line (6) from the solution solenoid (7) located on
the right-hand side of the machine.
4. Disconnect the scrub brush motor power
connector(s) (8), and free up the cables from any
cable ties.
Note: During reassembly, make sure unused motor
plugs are tted with protective caps (9).

3. Disconnect the electrical power and position
switch connectors to the lift actuator.
4. Remove the upper pin (2A) from the lift actuator
by reaching in from below the machine while
looking through the opening behind the electrical
panel (or detergent cartridge) (10).
• If the actuator is going to be reinstalled
without modication, take care not to rotate
the spring housing relative to the motor/
leadscrew. If they remain unchanged, you can
reinstall the actuator without performing the
limit adjustment procedure.
5. Remove the lower pin (2B) and remove
the actuator.

7. If a new actuator is being installed, then
conrm the orientation of the springs and
nut described on the next page.
The lead nut and springs need to be oriented as shown in the images below according to the deck type. A
quick inspection can be made by removing the four screws (2L), and sliding the end cap (2F) and upper
spring toward the motor, to determine if the upper spring is long or short. To reverse the lead nut and
springs, complete the following.
1. Remove the two screws (2K), and slide the pin brackets (2J) out of the lead nut.
2. Remove the four screws (2L) that secure the end cap (2F) and slide the spring housing (2C) off the
leadscrew.
3. Unscrew the lead nut, and replace the upper spring with the correct spring: Short spring (2E) for Boost
and Disk decks, and long spring (2D) for cylindrical decks.
4. Reinstall the lead nut: holes away from the motor for Boost and Disk decks, and holes toward the motor
for cylindrical decks.
5. Finish reassembling the actuator, and then complete the Lift Actuator Limit Adjustment described on
page 58.

from the solution lter, and activates to allow
solution to ow to the scrub deck. To prevent
pooling of excess water on the oor when the
machine is stationary, the solenoid output
from the controller is disabled when the wheel
drive is not active. The rate of solution ow is
controlled by cycling the solution solenoid on
and off at varying duty cycles with a 6-second
cycle period.

Detergent Models
Machines that have on-board detergent mixing
use a pump-driven, detergent injection system. The detergent is stored in the removable detergent tank,
which has a suction hose from the detergent pump. The detergent pump draws the liquid from the detergent
tank and injects it into the solution line between the solution solenoid and the scrub deck. The ow rate of
the detergent is controlled by the Main Machine Controller using PWM.
The positive terminal (white/brown wire) of the solution solenoid receives +24V battery power through key
switch and E-stop switch. The negative terminal (violet/black wire) of the solution solenoid is connected to
the Main Machine Controller at J3-11. The solenoid is active when the controller forces the J1-11 terminal
to Battery Negative. The solenoid output is inhibited unless the machine is in motion or pre-wetting is called
for.
Detergent Pump
The detergent pump is a small reversible diaphragm pump. The polarity of the pump is reversed to cycle the
pump faster. The ow rate of the detergent pump is controlled by PWM at varying rates depending on the
desired mixing ratio.

from the oor for the recovery system
to lift the water into the recovery
tank. The oor squeegee is wider
than the swath of the scrub deck to
ensure collection of all wastewater
from the perimeter of the scrubbing
area. The squeegee also pivots to the
side to permit operation near walls
and to keep the squeegee within the
scrubbing path while turning the
machine.

Squeegee Lift Actuator
The squeegee lift actuator operates on a cable that raises the squeegee assembly. When the actuator is not
pulling on the cable, the down-force springs press the squeegee to the oor. The upper and lower positions of
the squeegee are determined by internal limit switches in the actuator.

Periodically clean and inspect the squeegee tool (1)
and blades (5&8). Remove the squeegee tool from the
pivot/lift assembly by removing the suction hose (2)
and loosening the two thumb nuts (3).
Clean the squeegee blades (5&8) and suction area
between the blades with soap and water.
Inspect the squeegee blades for nicks, tears, and
worn leading edges. If a squeegee blade is worn or
damaged, it may be turned around with a fresh edge
facing down/forward up to four times before complete
blade replacement is required.
When reinstalling the squeegee tool (1) to the pivot/
lift assembly, tighten the two thumb nuts (3) only
hand tight.
Squeegee Trim Adjustment
The squeegee trim needs to be checked or adjusted
whenever the squeegee blades are replaced, or if the
squeegee is not fully wiping the oor. Misadjustment
symptoms include water streaks at the center or edges of
the squeegee path.

1. Park the machine on a at, even surface and lower
the squeegee tool.
2. Inspect/adjust the wheel height to ensure the
squeegee tool is resting at the proper level.
3. Examine how the rear squeegee blade is making
contact with the oor surface, and inspect for gaps at
either the center or edges.
4. Tighten (clockwise) or loosen (counterclockwise)
the squeegee trim adjustment knob (19) to level
the squeegee across its length.
• If there is a gap in the center, loosen the
adjustment knob.
• If there are gaps at the outside, tighten the
adjustment knob.
• Make sure the are of the rear blade is even
along the entire length of the blade.
To protect the actuator from traveling too far, it
contains an internal limit switch for maximum travel.
This adjustment requires the use of the Actuator
Power Cord Adapter (99) (PN 56407502) shown to the
right.
This procedure is typically performed as part of
replacing the actuator. If the actuator is not already
removed from the machine, then remove it following
the procedure on page 76.
1. Connect the Power Cord Adapter (99) to the
positive and negative battery terminals of the
Focus II machine. Make sure the adapter is connected so that it receives the full 24 volts.
2. Connect the other end of Power Cord Adapter (99) to the actuator’s power connector.
3. While holding the nut housing (18) from turning, press the For/Rev switch on the Adapter (99) to move
the nut housing (18) toward the actuator gear housing (17A) until the motor stops (minimum limit
switch engaged).

4. Rotate the nut housing (18) until the distance between the spring housing and gear housing (Housing
Distance) is 5/16", and as necessary, unscrew the nut just enough to make the clevis pin holes (18A)
parallel to the gear housing (a drill bit is shown in the photo for clarity).
Important: After the limit is adjusted and
until the actuator is back in the machine,
make sure not to rotate the nut housing
relative to the motor housing.
5. While holding the nut housing (18) from
turning, press the For/Rev switch on the
Adapter (99) to move the nut housing
away the actuator gear housing until
the motor stops (maximum limit switch
engaged).
6. Measure the Housing Distance. If it is not approximately 4",
then adjust the lower limit.
a. Remove the dust cap (17B) from the top of the gear housing
using your ngers or a small screw driver.
b. Place a 1/2" socket over the limit adjustment nut to turn the
nut, and increase or decrease the lower limit as follows:
Important: Even though the center of the adjustment nut looks
like it will accept a screwdriver blade, this is the retainer for
the adjustment nut. Do Not try to turn the retainer!
• Each “click” of the adjuster nut changes the Housing
Distance by 1/16".
• To increase the Housing Distance, turn the nut clockwise.
• To decrease the Housing Distance, turn the nut
counterclockwise.
7. Using the Adapter cord (99), move the nut housing back to the approximate position it was in when you
removed it from the machine, and reinstall the actuator on the machine.

Wheel System, Non-Traction
Functional Description
The non-traction wheels are intended
to carry the majority of the machine’s
weight. The wheels are strategically
located below the battery compartment
and between the recovery and solution
tanks. The non-traction wheels are
connected directly to the machine’s
subframe.
Warning: Never work under machine without safety stands or
blocking to support the machine.
1. To reduce the weight of the machine, drain both
the recovery and solution tanks.
2. Jack the rear of the machine and block both
sides of the machine at the rear lifting points (5)
near the wheels to keep the machine stable and
prevent it from rolling.
3. Remove the bolt (2) and washer (3) that secure
the wheel to the axle (4), and remove the wheel.
The drive system of the Focus machine consists of a
single drive wheel with an integral motor. The drive
wheel connects to the subframe with a rotational
bearing and ange to provide steering rotation.
Steering control is made through the steering column
that passes through a universal joint to translate the
rotation from the angled steering wheel to the vertical
shaft and pinion sprocket. The pinion sprocket drives
a chain that wraps around the steering sprocket. The
steering sprocket has no chain teeth, but the chain
is xed to the sprocket at the ends of the chain using
standard master links.
Drive Pedal Sensor
The drive pedal sensor (R1 pot) is a variable resistor
connected to the Pin-4 input of the wheel drive
controller, with pins 3 and 13 as reference voltages.
As the resistance changes, the wheel drive controller
increases or decreases drive motor speed.
For the Focus drive system, the drive pedal sensor is
not set up in a wig-wag conguration, where drive
direction is controlled by a single potentiometer. Instead, the forward/reverse function is independently
controlled by a separate control line between the Main Machine Controller and the Wheel Drive controller.
Moreover, the speed-limit function is also controlled by the Main Machine Controller and transmitted to the
Wheel Drive controller on a separate control line.

Column Frame
In this conguration, the drive pedal sensor is a simple resistive circuit that tells the Wheel Drive controller
the appropriate percentage of power to provide to the drive motor. The remaining drive functions are
controlled by the Main Machine Controller through the Wheel Drive controller.
Speed Limiting Potentiometer
To give the operator better control over the machine in operation, the Wheel Drive controller has a variable
maximum speed limit for full pedal deection of the throttle potentiometer. This task is commonly performed
with a physical potentiometer in parallel with the drive pedal potentiometer. However, on the Focus system,
this speed limiting function is governed by the Main Machine Controller. The Main Machine Controller
contains an electronically controlled, solid state potentiometer to provide this speed limit signal to the Wheel
Drive controller.
The drive motor is controlled from a Curtis PMC 1228 controller, which
is a pulse-width-modulation speed controller designed specically for
permanent magnet DC motors. Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) is a form
25% PWM Duty Cycle
of motor speed control that alters the power to a motor by rapidly turning
the power on and off. The ratio (also called “duty cycle”) between the
On and Off states determines how much power the motor receives. The
50% PWM Duty Cycle
shorter the “off-time” the closer to full power the motor will receive. This
switching occurs so fast (15kHz for this controller) that the motor simply
sees it as a reduction in power (voltage) instead of the rapid on/off. PWM
75% PWM Duty Cycle
is a standard motor control technique because it is easier to turn power
all the way on and all the way off, than it is to vary the magnitude of the
power. Varying the magnitude would create a lot of heat that would need
100% PWM Duty Cycle
to be dissipated.
Drive power (B+, B-) is always present at the speed controller (A2) from the battery, but the positive battery
input (B+) is fused through the circuit breaker (CB1) at 70 amps. When the key switch (S1), E-Stop (S4),
and seat switch (S2) are closed, 24V control power (enable) is provided to the speed controller via the Brown
wire (Pin 5-KSI). Opening any one of these series connected switches will disable the drive controller. (If the
on-board battery charger is present, its interlock signal is also in series with these switches.)
The two potentiometers (throttle position and speed limit) control the internal “clock” of the controller,
which determines the PWM duty cycle described above. The drive pedal sensor is a physical potentiometer
located in the drive pedal. The speed limit potentiometer is solid state, and located within the Main Machine
Controller. Forward and reverse directions are controlled by a separate connection from the Main Machine
Controller to the Wheel drive controller. The reverse function is active-high. When the reverse line is at low
voltage, the drive controller is in the forward direction, and vice versa.
When the drive is active (either forward or reverse) the Wheel controller pulls the “Brake” output (Motion at
the Main Machine Controller) to GND. This signal is observed by the Main Machine Controller to indicate

The drive motor comes out of the machine as an assembly, including
the steering chain disk (10) and steering spindle (9). The bearing hub (12) remains within the machine, as the mounting bolts (14) are not
accessible without removing the solution tank.
1. Turn off the key and disconnect the batteries.
2. To reduce the weight of the machine, drain both the recovery and
solution tanks. To lower the center of gravity of the machine, you
may even choose to remove the recovery tank from the machine.
3. Block both sides of the machine at the rear
lifting points (15) to keep the machine stable and
prevent it from rolling. To prevent tipping, it is
also a good idea to chain the machine down at the
rear lifting points.
4. Raise the front of the machine by jacking at the
center front at surface of the solution tank.
5. If necessary, block the front of the machine at the
forward anchor points (16) so the jacking device

Reassembly Notes
Any time the drive wheel assembly is removed, it is
a good practice to inspect and repack the steering
spindle bearings. This will also require replacing the
seal (24).
1. Using a screwdriver, pry the seal out of the
steering plate. Discard the seal.
2. Remove the thrust bearing cone (25) and clean
the old grease from the cone and also from the
upper bearing (27), which is not removable.
3. Inspect the bearings and cup (26) for wear and
replace if necessary.
4. Repack the bearings with axle grease.
5. Replace the old seal with a new seal.
6. Wipe off accumulated grease and debris from the
steering spindle (28).
7. When tightening the steering spindle nut (8),
torque the nut to 20 ft-lbs.
8. During reassembly, inspect/adjust the steering
chain tension as described on page 91.

Drive Motor, Brushes, and Electromechanical Brake
Removing the drive motor requires the drive wheel
assembly to be removed from the machine so it can be
stood on-end, to prevent the gear oil from leaking out
of the gear box.
Replacing the electromechanical brake requires
removing the motor because the wire passes through
the motor housing ange. However, the brake disks
can be inspected without removing the drive assembly
from the machine.
1. Remove the Drive Wheel Assembly described on
page 84.
2. Remove the two screws (29) that secure the motor cover (30), and remove the cover.
10. Remove the three screws (34) that secure the
brake module (35) to the motor.
36
34
37
11. Free up the brake wire from the motor housing,
and remove the brake.
12. During replacement, use a screw driver (37) to
hold the brake release lever (36) raised. This will
allow the spline gear to oat while you realign
the mounting screws (34).
Reassembly Notes

13. Inspect the gear oil. If the gear oil is dirty or
some has spilled out, then it must be changed.
Due to the conguration of the gearbox, there is
no way to check the oil level except to empty the
oil and rell it.
When changing the gear oil use 4.6 oz (130 g) of Mobilgear 600 XP 150 or AGIP BLASIA 150 gear oil.
14. Make sure the two vent lters (37) are clean and in place, and then insert the motor back into the
gearbox. Take care not to damage the gearbox seal.

Drive Tire
Replacing the drive tire (metal wheel with urethane
tire) requires the tire pulling kit (56422174). The
drive tire may be replaced without removing the drive
assembly from the machine, but you may nd it easier
to remove the Drive Wheel Assembly described on
page 84.
1. To reduce the weight of the machine, drain both
the recovery and solution tanks. To lower the
center of gravity of the machine, you may even
choose to remove the recovery tank from the
machine.
2. Block both sides of the machine at the rear lifting
points (15) to keep the machine stable and prevent it from
rolling. To prevent tipping, it is also a good idea to chain the
machine down at the rear lifting points.
3. Raise the front of the machine by jacking at the center front
at surface of the solution tank.
4. Using a 5mm hex key, remove the four screws (38) that
secure the drive hub (40) to the internal gearbox.
5. Using a 5mm hex key, remove the six screws (39) that
secure the drive hub to the tire (wheel).
6. Insert the four wheel puller bolts (41) through the drive
housing, and hand tighten them until they equally touch the
metal wheel portion of the tire assembly.
7. Using a 5mm hex key, gradually tighten each bolt at about
1/2 to 1 turn at a time. Work in a crisscross pattern so each
bolt pushes the wheel off the main bearing (42) equally. (The
wheel hub (40) will come free after just a few turns.)
For reference, the wheel/tire presses over the main
bearing (42). The drive hub (40) is lightly pressed
onto the tapered disk (43) of the gearbox.
1. Install the drive hub (40) to the new
wheel/tire using the six socket head cap
screws (39).

2. Remove the tire pulling bolts (41) from
the drive housing.
3. Lightly install the two alignment pins
(44) into two of the threaded holes of the
gearbox output disk (43).
4. Slide the drive hub (with the new wheel/
39
tire) over the alignment pins.
5. Gently tap on the upper portion of the
drive hub (40) to get the wheel started
over the main bearing (42) until the
mounting screws (38) can be started in
their threads.
6. Remove the alignment pins (44), and replace them with the two remaining mounting screws (38).
7. In small increments, simultaneously tighten all four mounting screws to pull the drive hub tight to the
gearbox output disk (43).
8. Finish reassembling the machine by reversing the disassembly steps.

Curtis 1311 Programmer PN 56409441
The Curtis 1311 Programmer (or the 1307 predecessor) may be
used to display drive controller error codes and program the drive
controller. With a programmer, diagnostics and troubleshooting is
more direct than with the Focus II display alone. The programmer
presents complete diagnostic information in plain language
without codes to decipher. Faults are displayed in the Diagnostic
Menu, and the status of the controller inputs/outputs is displayed
in the Test Menu.
The handheld programmer can also be used to access the drive
controller’s diagnostic history le. This le contains the history
of cleared error codes, which may be helpful in determining the
functional status of the machine between service intervals.
Refer to the Curtis 1311 Programmer manual for further
information regarding the use and operation of the handheld
programmer.
