KNOW YOUR MACHINE
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL SWITCHES:
The controls on the AquaRide™ / BRX 700 were designed with one touch operation in mind. For single pass extracting the user can simply depress
one switch and all systems on the machine will be ready to go.
For most single-pass extracting operations, the operator should only need to use the top three switches on the control panel. These are the Scrub
System Off, Maintenance Extract Mode, and Restoration Extract Mode switches. In the maintenance mode the solution spray is directed at the
scrub brush and the fl ow rate is reduced. The travel speed is limited to a medium speed. In the restoration mode the solution spray is directed at
the carpet ahead of the scrub brush and the fl ow is at maximum. The travel speed is limited to a slow speed.
Scrub System Off Switch(B) - Pressing this switch when the scrub system is active will cause the following to occur:
• The scrub brush(s) will turn off and the scrub deck will raise to the up position
• The solution fl ow will be stopped
• The vacuum will shut off after a 10 second delay
• The travel speed limit will return to the transport speed setting
Maintenance Extract Mode Switch (D) – If the scrub system is off, pressing this switch will cause the following to occur:
• The scrub system will be enabled with the system confi gured for maintenance mode and the scrub deck will be lowered
• The vacuum system will be enabled
• The solution system will be enabled for maintenance mode
• The travel speed will be limited to the maintenance mode speed setting
• As soon as the throttle is moved from the neutral position the scrub brush(s) will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction is
forward the solution fl ow will start. If the direction is reverse the solution fl ow will be stopped. It is possible to program the control to automatically
raise the scrub deck in reverse. Refer to the Electrical System “Main Control Board Special Program Options” for details.
If the restoration mode is selected, pressing this switch will select the maintenance mode. If the maintenance mode is already selected, pressing
this switch will have no effect.
Restoration Extract Mode Switch (F) – If the scrub system is off, pressing this switch will cause the following to occur:
• The scrub system will be enabled with the system confi gured for restoration mode and the scrub deck will be lowered
• The vacuum system will be enabled
• The solution system will be enabled for restoration mode
• The travel speed will be limited to the restoration mode speed setting
• As soon as the throttle is moved from the neutral position the scrub brush(s) will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction is
forward the solution fl ow will start. If the direction is reverse the solution fl ow will be stopped. It is possible to program the control to automatically
raise the scrub deck in reverse. Refer to the Electrical System “Main Control Board Special Program Options” for details.
If the maintenance mode is selected, pressing this switch will select the restoration mode. If the restoration mode is already selected, pressing this

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL SWITCHES (CONTINUED)
Accessory Vacuum ON/OFF Switch (I) - This switch is used when an external scrub wand is used. Pressing this switch will turn the vacuum on
continuously without regard to the throttle position. It will also enable the solution pump. If the scrub system was on it will be turned off. This includes
turning off the scrub brush(s) and raising the scrub deck and turning the solution fl ow to the scrub deck off. NOTE: Automatic shutof f of the vacuum
motor when the recovery bladder is full is disabled when the wand is enabled. The fl oat in the recovery bladder will still prevent water from entering
the vacuum motor, but the motor will not shut off.
Key Switch / Main Power (J) – Main Power Switch.
Speed Select Switch (L) – This switch will allow the operator to select a faster travel speed while the scrub system is enabled thereby allowing
extracting at a higher rate of speed. This option can be disabled if desired. See the Electrical System “Main Control Board Special Program Options”
for details.
The transport, maintenance mode, and restoration mode speed limits can be programmed using a Curtis handheld programmer. Refer to the Electrical
System “Main Control Board Special Program Options” for details.
Horn Switch(N) – This switch will sound the horn as long as the switch is held.
The horn also functions as an automatic back-up alarm when the throttle is moved to the reverse position. The volume of the back-up alarm is
programmable. It can also be programmed to provide an annunciation feature that will sound whenever the throttle is in the forward position. See
the Electrical System “Main Control Board Special Program Options” for details.
Vacuum Switch(O) - This switch is used to turn the vacuum system on or off. Pressing this switch will alternate between on and off. The vacuum
will only turn on when the throttle is moved from the neutral position. It will remain on for 10 seconds after the throttle returns to neutral.
The vacuum also has an automatic shutoff feature that will turn the vacuum and scrub systems off if the recovery bladder becomes full. If this occurs,
the status display will show the word “FULL”. This feature can be disabled if desired. The shutoff threshold can also be adjusted if necessary. See
the Electrical System “Main Control Board Special Program Options” for details.
Solution Switch (R) - This switch is used to turn the solution system on or off. Pressing this switch when the scrub system has been activated will
alternate between on and off. The solution fl ow will only turn on when the throttle is moved from the neutral position in the forward direction. The
solution fl ow will turn off if the throttle returns to neutral or is moved to reverse.

1 Turn the master key switch off and separate the battery pack emergency disconnect (13).
2 See Figure 2. From underneath the front of the machine loosen the (4) (M) Screws and push the lower steering column to the rear of the
machine. This is done to separate the Chain (N) from the Steer Sprocket (O). Service Note: Use a 5/8” socket with 3” extension to loosen
screws and also correctly position the large hole in the Steer Plate (P) in order to access the far back left screw.
3 Remove both Master Links (Q) that secure the chain to the Steer Plate (P) then remove the chain from the chassis.
4 Reassemble parts in reverse order and adjust chain tension so that there is about 3/16” – 1/4” (4.7 – 6.4mm) total defl ection with moderate
pressure applied at the Mid-point (R) (as shown). Service Tip Note: Use a pry bar or shims between the chassis and steer column to help
secure the tension adjustment when tightening the (4) steering column mounting screws.
Maintenance
1 Inspect the chain for looseness and binding, re-tension the chain to 3/16”-1/4” (4.7 – 6.4mm) defl ection by following the above adjustment
instructions.
2 Keep all of the steer chain links oiled to prevent excessive wear and binding.

WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
GENERAL FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
See Figures 1 & 2. An 840-watt 1.1 HP (permanent magnet) 36V motor/gear transmission combination wheel unit (M3) is used to propel all machines.
A Curtis model 1228 PMC solid state speed controller (A1) regulates (outputs) the variable speed Fwd/Rev wheel drive motor functions. The controller
unit is located to the left of the operator seat, behind the electrical access panel. The potentiometer R1 mounted to the operator’s foot pedal, inputs
to the (A1) controller the machine operator’s desired speed and directional demands.
DRIVE MOTOR SYSTEM CONTROLLER FUNCTION OVERVIEW
See Figure 2. To make the A1 speed controllers internal control circuits operational (power it up) the two switches S1 (key) and S2 (seat) must be
closed. This circuit inputs a positive (+) 36V to the A1 speed controls pin terminal #5 (*KSI). The F2 circuit breaker 45 Amp supplies the positive
high current (load) circuit input to the B+ controller terminal (Brn/Blk wire). The black wire from the negative (-) battery standoff supplies the battery
ground input to the B- terminal for both the control and load circuits.
See Figure 3. Depressing the foot pedal in either Fwd or Rev will move the 5K Ohm (R1) potentiometer shaft off its centered balanced (neutral)
setting of approximately 2500 Ohms. With this pot shaft movement the pot’s resistance value changes which generates a variable voltage signal
(0-5 volts). These control board voltage input signals are what energizes the Fwd & Rev directional relays, which selects the motor polarity and what
also manages switches the battery voltage On and Off (**PWM) that varies the motor speed.
*KSI: Key Switch Input
**PWM: Pulse Width Modulation, also called “chopping” is a technique that switches battery voltage to the motor ON and OFF very quickly, thereby
controlling the speed of the motor.
DRIVE MODE SELECTION OPERATION OVERVIEW
The following is a list of the speed control parameters that can be adjusted using a Curtis hand held programmer:
There are four programmable speed limits on the AquaRide. These are transport speed, fast maintenance speed, maintnance/fast restore speed, and
restore speed. For the maintenance and restore modes, the fast speed is selected by pressing the speed select switch* on the control panel.
For reference purposes, the speed control parameters below are followed by a number from 1 to 4. These are used to indicate which parameters
apply to which operating mode of the machine.
(1) Transport mode [fastest] (scrub system off)
(2) Fast Maintenance Mode (maintenance mode, speed select indicator = on)
(3) Maintenance/Fast Restore Mode (maintenace mode, speed select indicator = off OR restore mode, speed select indicator = on)
(4) Restore Mode [slowest] (restore mode, speed select indicator = off)

WHEEL DRIVE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem Possible Cause
• Wheel drive motor will not run in • Batteries need charging (low battery voltage, recharge
forward and reverse. batteries)
• Wheel drive in one direction only, loss of either • Test the Fwd & Rev (R1) wiring outputs (pins 3, 4 & 13) at the forward or reverse. speed control for an open. Repair wiring or replace the R1
throttle pot.
• Controller can’t change electrical polarity to wheel motor
replace the (A1) speed control.
• Hourmeter/status display shows an error • Speed controller has sensed an operation error code fault. 03 fault code. (see the Status LED Fault Codes (Table 2) in the Electrical
System)
