FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS:
Solution Tank Fill (1) – Open to fill the solution tank, use non-foaming chemicals only. Recovery Tank Cover (2) – Point of entry for waste water into tank. Also houses float ball which shuts off vacuum port to vac motor when tank
is full. Drive Paddle (3) – Located on top at the rear of the machine, the operator can make the machine go forward by pushing forward on it, or reverse by pulling backward on it. The speed is variable depending on how far forward or backward the paddle is moved. When the brush head is in the “DOWN” position, the brushes and solution will operate when the drive is engaged in either direction, but will stop after the machine is stationary for 3 seconds. Solution Drain Hose / Level Indicator (4) – Used to empty the solution tank and show current level of solution in tank, graduations are marked on the side of the solution tank next to the hose.
Recovery Drain Hose (5) – Used to empty the recovery tank. Squeegee Adjustment Bolt (6) – Used to adjust the tilt of the squeegee. Turn bolt clockwise to tilt the squeegee backwards and counter-clockwise
to tilt it forward.
Squeegee Blade Latch (7) – Holds rear squeegee blade and straps in place, release to replace rear blade. Squeegee (8) – Picks up solution after scrubbing. Machine Battery Connector (9) – Batteries plug into this connector, disconnect to charge batteries. Solution Flow Control Knob (10) – Turn this dial to the right to decrease solution flow to the floor. Turn to the left, to increase the amount of solution
flow to the floor. When the Drive Paddle (3) is released from either forward or reverse travel, the solution flow will stop automatically, and resume when the drive is engaged.
Speed Limit Control Knob (11) – The Speed Limit Control Knob is used to adjust the maximum speed in both forward or reverse. Wheel Drive Circuit Breaker (12) – Provides overload protection to machine’s wheel drive motor. If it trips, it will pop out. To reset, wait one minute

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL BUTTONS:
The controls were designed with one touch operation in mind. For single pass scrubbing the user can simply depress one button and all systems on the machine will be ready to go.
For most single-pass scrubbing operations, the operator should only need to use the left-hand two buttons on the control panel. These are the Scrub OFF and Scrub ON buttons. For this reason these buttons are outlined in bright white on the control panel while the other buttons are outlined in gray.
Solution Button (D) - This button is used to select the mode of operation for the solution system. There are 3 modes of operation for this system. The modes are OFF, AUTO, MOMENTARY ON. Following is a description of each mode and how they are selected. OFF MODE: In this mode the solution flow is turned off. As mentioned in the following, when the scrub ON button (G) is pushed, the solution system will be placed in the AUTO mode. If it is desired to scrub without dispensing solution, the solution can be turned off by pressing this button at any time. AUTO MODE: This mode is automatically selected when the scrub ON button (G) is pushed. In this mode the solution flow will be turned on whenever forward or reverse direction is selected via the Drive Paddle (3). The solution flow will be turned off otherwise. MOMENTARY ON MODE: This mode can only be selected when the scrub mode is OFF. Solution can be dispensed by pressing and holding the solution button. Solution will be dispensed for as long as the button is held. This is for pre-wetting the floor prior to scrubbing.

Vacuum Button (E) - This button is used to select the mode of operation for the vacuum system. There are 3 modes of operation for this system.
These modes are OFF, AUTO, ON. Following is a description of each mode and how they are selected. OFF MODE: In this mode the vacuum is off. As mentioned in the following, when the scrub ON button (G) is pushed, the vacuum system will be placed in the AUTO mode. If it is desired to double-scrub (scrub without recovering the solution) the vacuum system can be turned off by pressing this button at any time. AUTO MODE: This mode is automatically selected when the scrub ON button (G) is pushed. The vacuum will turn on when the drive paddle (3) is moved forward or reverse. Once the scrub system has been turned OFF, the vacuum will remain ON. To turn the vacuum OFF, press and release the vacuum button or the scrub OFF button (H). This will start a ten second delay to allow pick-up of remaining solution. This mode can be selected independently of the scrub mode by pressing and releasing the vacuum button. ON MODE: In this mode the vacuum will be on regardless of the drive paddle (3) position. This mode is selected by pressing and holding the Vacuum Button (E) for approximately 1.5 seconds. The vacuum mode must first be OFF before entering this mode. This mode is included in the event an external wand is to be used with this machine or if the operator wants to clean the squeegee using the vacuum hose. Scrub ON / Pressure Increase Button (G) - Pressing the scrub ON button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the last selected value. The status display (A) will display the scrub pressure setting. This is indicated by a number. Subsequent presses of the scrub ON button will step the pad pressure setting through the allowable range up to the maximum value of 9. The following will occur when this button is pressed:
The scrub deck will be lowered
The vacuum and solution systems will be enabled (vacuum and solution modes = AUTO)
As soon as a direction is commanded by the Drive Paddle (3) (forward or reverse) the brushes will start turning and the vacuum and solution
will turn on.
Scrub OFF / Pressure Decrease Button (H) - Momentarily pressing this button will step the pad pressure down to a minimum value of 1. Pressing and holding this button for approximately 1/2 second when the unit is in scrub mode will cause the following to occur:
The status display (A) will indicate “0”
The scrub brushes will turn off
The scrub deck will raise to the UP position
The solution flow will be stopped and the last used pad pressure will be saved
The first time that this button is pressed, the vacuum system will NOT be turned off. This is so that any remaining water may be picked up without having to turn the vacuum back on. If this button is pressed a second time (pressed after the scrub mode has been turned off) the vacuum will shut off after a 10 second delay.
NOTE: Reducing the pad pressure to “1” and then pressing this button one more time will also turn the scrub system OFF. In this case the last used pressure will not be saved. NOTE: If the optional Brush Remove Feature is installed, it functions as follows:
To activate the automatic brush removal feature, the scrub deck must be in the UP position and the Drive paddle must be in neutral.
•Press and hold the Scrub OFF / Pressure Decrease Button (H) for 1 second. The Scrub OFF Indicator (I) will turn RED and the brush motors will turn on briefly. The motors will then stop abruptly which will cause the brushes to fall off.
DESCRIPTION OF INDICATORS ON THE CONTROL PANEL:
In general, the following guidelines apply to the control panel indicators:
A steady red indicator means that the function is inhibited for some reason. A flashing red or yellow indicator means that a fault has occurred in the particular system. An example of this would be an over-current fault. A yellow indicator means that the particular function has been enabled but is not currently on. For example, if the scrub system is activated and
the Drive Paddle (3) is in neutral, the vacuum and solution indicators will all be yellow indicating that the systems are enabled and ready to turn on when the Drive Paddle (3) is moved to forward or reverse.
A green indicator means that the particular system is on. A flashing green indicator means that the particular system is in a delayed-off condition. An example of this is when the scrub system is activated
and the Drive Paddle (3) goes from forward or reverse to neutral. When this happens the vacuum indicator will flash green indicating that the vacuum is still on but that it will be turning off after the delay period.
Scrub Pressure/Hourmeter Display (A):
The scrub pressure/hourmeter display will scroll the hourmeter information only if all of the systems are turned off and the throttle has been in neutral for at least ten seconds. The hourmeter information will also be displayed immediately once the key switch has been turned on.
If any of the systems are turned on or the throttle is in forward or reverse, the display will show the relative scrub pressure value (1-9) or 0 if the scrub system is off. This value is a relative indication of scrubbing effort. It is not an absolute indication of the scrub pressure.
Solution System Indicator (C):
This indicator will be green if the solution is on.
This indicator will be yellow if the solution is enabled but not turned on.
This indicator will be off if the solution is disabled and turned off.

Vacuum System Indicator (F):
This indicator will be green if the vacuum is on.
This indicator will flash green at a slow rate if the ten second delayed turn-off timer is running.
This indicator will be yellow if the vacuum is enabled but not turned on.
This indicator will flash yellow at a fast rate if there is an overload of the vacuum motor.
This indicator will be off if the vacuum is disabled and turned off.
Scrub OFF Indicator (I):
This indicator will be green if the scrub system is ready to be turned on.
This indicator will be red if for any reason the scrub system cannot be turned on.
This indicator will flash red at a fast rate if there is an overload of the brush motors or the brush lift actuator motor.
This indicator will be off if the scrub system has been activated.
Recovery Tank FULL Indication:
If the recovery tank reaches the full level, the float ball will plug the vacuum inlet which will cause the control system to shut off the scrub, vacuum, and solution systems. The hour meter/status display (A) will scroll the word “FULL” to indicate that the tank is full.
•Pressing the scrub-off/pressure-decrease, scrub-on/pressure-increase, or vacuum buttons will clear the full indication.
The automatic vacuum shutoff feature can be disabled if the vacuum shuts off even when the tank is not full. Refer to the Electrical System Main Control Board Special Program Options to disable.
System Overload Indications:
If the scrub motors or the scrub deck lift actuator become overloaded, the scrub and solution systems will turn off and the scrub-off/pressure­decrease indicator will flash red at a fast rate (four times per second).
If the vacuum motor becomes overloaded, the scrub, vacuum, and solution systems will turn off and the vacuum indicator will flash yellow at a fast rate (four times per second).
To reset an overload condition, turn the key switch off and then back on.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR
Attention: See the Electrical System manual section for the explanation of the battery condition indicator lights.
DESCRIPTION OF THE HOURMETER/STATUS DISPLAY
The single character (LED) display (A) located in the middle of the control panel is primarily used to present the accumulative machine hours of operation and the working brush pressure setting.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The CMAX™ 28ST, BA 750ST and BA 850ST models have a solution tank fill capacity of 24-gallons (90 liters). The I-MAX™ 28C/32C, BA 750C and CMAX™ 34ST models tank capacities are 30-gallons (114 liters). All models use two tank fill openings one located in the front and another in the rear, which offers ease of filling. Plumbed into the main solution control valve hose outlet is a serviceable solution filter, to keep debris from entering the solenoid valve. Also fitted to the tank is a flexible hose used to indicate the solution level and to drain the tank for system maintenance.
See Figure 1*. The solution system uses (2) valves to regulate the amount of solution dispensed onto the floor. The knob (A) located on the control panel operates the main solution valve (B) that controls the needed flow volume demand to the scrub brushes. The (L1) electrical solenoid valve stops and starts the solution flow to the scrub brushes see electrical diagram. The electrical circuit that turns on (energizes) the solenoid coil is activated through the (A1) control panel’s solution switch button and the (A2) operation wheel drive controller assembly. Note: See the Know Your Machine section in this manual for a complete explanation of the solution operation modes.
During normal machine scrubbing the solution system’s Auto Mode is selected and works in conjunction with the wheel drive speed controller and the (A1) main controller’s scrub system outputs to turn On & Off the (L1) solenoid valve. The solution will flow to the scrub brushes when the main flow control valve is open, the scrub deck is lowered and the handle drive paddle (box) is pushed or pulled into Fwd or Rev. Note: When the solution On/Off button is turned Off, no flow can occur regardless of the manual flow control valve being On, drive control paddle activated and the scrub deck down.

SOLUTION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
• Solution Tank: See Figure 1. Weekly empty the solution tank; remove the solution Drain Hose (C) from its storage area (located on the right
rear control handle compartment). Direct the hose to a designated “Disposal Site” and flush the tank with clean water.
• Solution Filter: Remove and clean the inline Solution Filter (D). To access the filter housing for removal, work underneath the middle left side chassis panel. No tools are needed to remove the filter (hand tighten only). Service Tip: The manual solution control knob must be placed in the full OFF position. This prevents loss of solution when servicing the filter strainer with a partial or full tank.
• Solution Delivery Trough: On the cylindrical scrub deck clean the holes in the delivery trough to assure even distribution of solution.

SCRUB BRUSH SYSTEM
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
• Disc Brush System Overview
See Figure 2. The machine models CMAX 28ST, CMAX 34ST, BA 750ST & BA 850ST (model #’s 56396010, 56397403, 56396011 & 56396012) use the disc type scrub system.
• Cylindrical Brush System Overview
See Figure 4. The machine models I-MAX 28C, I-MAX 32C & BA 750C (model #’s 56397400, 56397401 & 56397402) use two cylindrical brushes that counter rotate to sweep up light debris and scrub at the same time. Each scrub brush is powered on opposing ends by 3/4 HP permanent magnet motors attached to separate poly-V belt/pulley drives.
• General Brush Overview
On all models the scrub deck platform is raised & lowered automatically by a vertically mounted electric lift actuator motor. The operation of the machine’s scrub functions are activated when the operator selects (presses) the scrub (mode) panel buttons. The scrub pad or brush pressure ranges (1-9) are selectable allowing the operator the choice to vary the scrubbing effort (pressure) while operating the machine. Note: See the Main Control Board Special Program Options section in this manual for more detailed operation and instructions to change scrub pressure settings.
See Figure 1. The machine’s main scrub system input and output operating functions are regulated (managed) by the display panel and combined main control board A1. The major scrub system functions are…
• Scrub Brush Motor Run Function
Control Circuit Overview Scrub Brush Motor
+(Positive) Circuit input starts with:
A closed S3 key switch supplies the needed positive voltage to the K1 brush solenoid coil and the A1 control board #1 terminal (Brn wires).
Note: The A1 control board scrub-on/pressure increase button must also be depressed (enabled). This operator command lowers the brush deck.
-(Negative) Circuit input starts with:
A battery negative ground input at the A1 control board terminal #4 and at the A2 speed controller terminal B- (T2).
A negative voltage output from the A2 speed controller’s P1 (pin #1) to the A1 control boards yellow wire (#3 terminal). Note: The A2 speed
control auxiliary output (pin #1) occurs whenever the R1 directional/throttle pot is moved off its neutral setting. This operator command happens when the drive paddle is pushed or pulled to run the wheel drive motor in Forward or Reverse.
A negative voltage output from the A1 board’s terminal #5 Vio/Blk wire completes the K1 solenoid coil circuit (Pos. & Neg.) and pulls in the
load contact making the brush motors run.
• Scrub Brush Actuator Lift Motor Function
The A1 control board outputs (terminals 11 & 12) activate (raise and lower) the scrub-deck for installing, removing and controlling the scrub brushes’ selected current load. The large BLK negative (-) scrub brush motor wire is specially designed so that it has a known (specified) resistance value. As brush motor current passes through the negative wire that is, in effect, a low value resistor, a small voltage drop is developed across it which is proportional to the motor current. This voltage change is inputted to the A1 control board at terminal pins 8 and 2 (sense wires WHT/GRA & GRA/BLK). Any surrounding temperature change in this large Neg. motor wire affects its resistance so the temperature is sensed by a thermistor (*) built into the control board A1. This allows the controller to provide error correction for the temperature resistance changes. When the controller senses a current draw out of the desired range it automatically turns on the M5 actuator motor to raise or lower the scrub deck. This process is on going in maintaining the operator’s selected scrub motor current load setting to sustain the desired brush working pressure.
• Low Voltage Cut-Out Function
The purpose of the special low battery voltage cutout function is to help prolong battery life. The scrub deck will be raised and the brush motors and solution solenoid valve will turn OFF automatically and cease to function when the batteries discharge to the selected cutout level. The cutout level is adjustable between two settings. The standard setting (wet cell/lead acid) is 1.72 volts per cell and alternate setting (gel/maintenance free) is 1.81 volts per cell. Note: See the battery system section for instructions for selecting (setting) the two different thresholds.
SPECIAL SCRUB SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
• Optional Scrub Brush Removal Function (Disc only)
For removal of the scrub brushes automatically, the scrub deck must be in the up position and the drive system in neutral. To remove the scrub brushes simply depress the control panel scrub-off/pressure decrease button (H) for 1 second. The A1 control board will momentarily run the brush motor and then stop it quickly, where the brush inertia causes the brush to easily spin itself off of the scrub brush motor drive cap.
• Control and Load circuit detail.
- A closed S3 key switch supplies the needed positive circuit inputs (Brn wire) to the K1 brush solenoid coil, K3 brush remove solenoid coil
and A1 control board.
