The controls on the HR 2800 / BR 700 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 second row of three buttons on the control panel. These are the
Scrub Mode Off, Normal Scrub, and Heavy Scrub buttons. For this reason these buttons are outlined in bright white on the control panel while the other
buttons are outlined in a darker color.
Horn Button (39) - Pressing this button will activate the horn.
Scrub Off Button (25) - Pressing this button when the unit is in a scrub mode will cause the following to occur:
•The scrub brushes will turn off
•The scrub deck will raise to the UP position
•The solution flow will be stopped
•The first time that this button is pressed, the vacuum/squeegee 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
squeegee will raise and the vacuum will shut off after a 6 second delay.
NORMAL AND HEAVY SCRUB BEFORE SERIAL NUMBER 1362502
Normal Scrub Button (26) - Pressing this button will cause the normal scrub mode to be selected. In this mode a moderate amount of down pressure
is applied to the scrub brushes. 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 throttle (forward or reverse), the brushes will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction
is forward, the squeegee will lower and the solution flow will start. If the direction is reverse, the squeegee will go to the up position and the solution
flow will be stopped.
Heavy Scrub Button (27) - Pressing this button will cause the heavy scrub mode to be selected. In this mode a large amount of down pressure is
applied to the scrub brushes. See the above description for further actions.
NOTE: See the Electrical System manual section for a full explanation of the special operator programming instructions for changing both normal and
heavy scrub mode pressure adjustments for machines before SN 1362502.
NORMAL AND HEAVY SCRUB AFTER SERIAL NUMBER 1362501
Normal Scrub Button (26) - Pressing the normal scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the last selected value for
the normal scrub mode. The status display will momentarily display the scrub pressure setting. This is indicated by “PA” followed by a number.
Subsequent presses of the normal scrub button will step the pad pressure setting through the allowable range up to the maximum value programmed
for the normal scrub mode. Once the maximum value is reached the pressure setting will step back to 1. The factory default maximum for the normal
scrub mode is 4. 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 throttle (forward or reverse), the brushes will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction
is forward, the squeegee will lower and the solution flow will start. If the direction is reverse, the squeegee will go to the up position and the solution
flow will be stopped.
Heavy Scrub Button (27) - Pressing the heavy scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the last selected value for the
heavy scrub mode. The status display will momentarily display the scrub pressure setting. This is indicated by “PA” followed by a number. Subsequent
presses of the heavy scrub button will step the pad pressure setting through the allowable range up to the maximum value programmed for the heavy
scrub mode. Once the maximum value is reached the pressure setting will step back to (normal scrub limit + 1). The factory default maximum for the
heavy scrub mode is 7 (cylindrical) or 9 (disc). 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 throttle (forward or reverse) the brushes will start turning and the vacuum will turn on. If the direction
is forward, the squeegee will lower and the solution flow will start. If the direction is reverse, the squeegee will go to the up position and the solution
flow will be stopped.
NOTE: See the Electrical System manual section for a full explanation of the special operator programming instructions for changing both normal and
heavy scrub mode pressure adjustments for machines after SN 1362501.
Vacuum Button (29) - This button is used to select the mode of operation for the vacuum/squeegee 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 and the squeegee is in the up position. As mentioned above, when a scrub mode is selected, 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.
AUTO MODE: - This mode is automatically selected when a scrub mode is selected. In this mode the squeegee will be in the down position unless
the reverse direction is selected via the throttle. The vacuum will turn on if either direction is selected. While in this mode the vacuum will remain on
for 10 seconds after the throttle returns to the neutral position. This is so that the solution in the squeegee and hose can be drawn into the tank. This
mode can be selected independently of the scrub mode by pressing and releasing the vacuum button.
ON MODE: - In this mode the squeegee will remain in the UP position and the vacuum will be on regardless of the throttle position. This mode is selected
by pressing and holding the vacuum button 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.
Solution Button (30) - 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 above, when a scrub mode is selected, 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.
AUTO MODE: - This mode is automatically selected when a scrub mode is selected. In this mode the solution flow will be turned on whenever the
forward direction is selected via the throttle. 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.
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. For example, if the scrub system is off and the operator is not on the seat,
the scrub system indicator will be red indicating that the system cannot be turned on until the operator is on the seat.
A flashing red 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 a scrub mode is selected and the throttle
is in neutral, the scrub system, vacuum, and solution indicators will all be yellow indicating that the systems are enabled and ready to turn on when
the throttle 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 a scrub mode is selected and the
throttle 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 Mode Off Indicator (34):
•This indicator will be RED if the scrub system is inhibited for any reason. Possible reasons are:
•Seat switch is open
•The scrub deck has not returned to the UP position.
•A system fault
•Low voltage condition
•This indicator will be GREEN if the system is ready to be placed in either the normal or heavy scrub modes.
•This indicator will be OFF if either the normal or heavy scrub modes have been selected.
•This indicator will flash RED if there is a fault in one of the scrub system components. This will be accompanied by an error indication on the Hour
Meter / Status Display (32).
Normal Scrub Mode Indicator (35):
•This indicator will be YELLOW if the normal scrub mode has been selected but the scrub motor is off. This will be the case if the throttle is in the
neutral position. The scrub motor will stay on for approximately 3 seconds after the throttle returns to the neutral position.
•This indicator will be GREEN if the normal scrub mode has been selected and the scrub motor is on.
•This indicator will be OFF if the scrub mode is off or if the heavy scrub mode has been selected.
Heavy Scrub Mode Indicator (36):
•This indicator will be YELLOW if the heavy scrub mode has been selected but the scrub motor is off. This will be the case if the throttle is in the
neutral position. The scrub motor will stay on for approximately 3 seconds after the throttle returns to the neutral position.
•This indicator will be GREEN if the heavy scrub mode has been selected and the scrub motor is on.
•This indicator will be OFF if the scrub mode is off or if the normal scrub mode has been selected.
DESCRIPTION OF INDICATORS ON THE CONTROL PANEL (CONTINUED)
Vacuum System Indicator (37):
•This indicator will be YELLOW if the vacuum/squeegee system is in the AUTO mode and the throttle is in the neutral position. This indicates that
the vacuum system is enabled but the vacuum is currently off.
•This indicator will be GREEN if the vacuum is currently on. This indicates that the system is in the AUTO mode and the throttle is not in neutral
or that the vacuum system is in the ON mode.
•This indicator will FLASH GREEN if the shutoff delay is keeping the vacuum on. This occurs if the vacuum system is in the AUTO mode and the
throttle goes to the neutral position. This will also occur if the vacuum system is turned off while it was in either the AUTO or ON modes. The
shutoff delay will turn the vacuum off after the delay period.
•This indicator will be OFF if the vacuum/squeegee system if in the OFF mode.
Vacuum System Fault Indicator (38):
•This indicator will flash red if there is a fault in the vacuum or squeegee systems. This will be accompanied by an error indication on the Hour
Meter / Status Display (32).
•This indicator will be RED and the Hour Meter / Status Display (32) will show “FULL” if the recovery tank float valve has closed. If this indication
occurs and the tank is not full, see the Troubleshooting section.
Solution System Indicator (28):
•This indicator will be YELLOW if the solution system is in the AUTO mode and the throttle is in the neutral or reverse positions. This indicates
that the solution system is enabled but the solution flow is currently off.
•This indicator will be GREEN if the solution system is in the AUTO mode and the throttle is in the forward position. It will also be GREEN if the
solution system is in the MOMENTARY ON mode. This indicates that the solution flow is currently on.
•This indicator will be OFF if the solution system is in the OFF mode.
Solution System Fault Indicator (24):
•This indicator will flash red if there is a fault in the solution system. This will be accompanied by an error indication on the Hour Meter / Status
Display (32).
Main Power Indicator (23):
•This indicator will be GREEN when the key switch is ON.
•This indicator will flash RED if there is a system fault that requires turning the Master ON/OFF Key Switch (33) off to reset.
•This indicator will flash fault codes from the Curtis Speed Control if a fault exists. This will be accompanied by an “Err03” indication on the
Hourmeter/Status Display (32).
DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATORS
The battery condition indicators will give an indication of the state of charge of the batteries. The battery condition monitor will retain the state-of-charge
even if the key has been turned off. The state-of-charge indication is reset to full charge when the batteries have been recharged. It is also possible
to choose between two different low voltage thresholds depending on whether maintenance free or standard batteries are being used (have qualifiedservice engineer perform this selection*). NOTE: The following percentages are based on useable battery capacity not total battery capacity.
Therefore, 100% discharge = 80% of total battery capacity for standard wet cell batteries or 70% of total battery capacity for maintenance free batteries.
Green Indicator = full charge down to 50% discharge
Green & Yellow Indicator = 50% discharge down to 75% discharge
Yellow Indicator = 75% discharge down to 90% discharge
Yellow & Red Indicator = 90% discharge down to 95% discharge
Red Indicator = 95% discharge down to 99% discharge
Flashing Red Indicator = 100% discharge - scrub system will automatically shut down
*Important Note: See the Main Control Board Special Program Options manual section (located in the electrical system) and follow the instructions
for setting the low voltage cutout threshold.
DESCRIPTION OF HOURMETER / STATUS DISPLAY
The 5 character display in the upper right corner of the control panel is primarily used as a display for the hourmeter function. This display is also used
to display the following information depending upon which mode the control is in:
•Error codes*
•Brush pressure adjustment setting for normal scrub mode*
•Display of control system default parameters*
•Recovery tank FULL indicator*
* NOTE: Reference (in the Electrical System manual section) the Main Control Board Troubleshooting Guide and the Control Board Special Program
Options sections. These sections will explain the machine error code descriptions and scrub system controller default parameter changes.

3Remove the Link Rod (V) from the Pedal (W). Note: Be careful not to lose the link rod mounting hardware items (X).
4Loosen the Nut (Y) and Screw (Z) at the drive pedal Throttle Lever (AA). Then pry the lever off from the end of the item (BB)
potentiometer shaft. Next remove the pot from the Mount Housing (CC).
Testing the Potentiometer
Note: The pot doesn’t have to be removed from the housing to test.
1Test the potentiometer using an Ohmmeter (the pot specification is 5K Ohms).
2Connect the meter leads to each of the outside connections on the potentiometer. The meter should read approximately 5000 Ohms
(plus or minus 500 Ohms).
3Next, move one of the test leads to the middle connection and turn the stem in both directions. The range of the readings should
be approximately 0-5000 Ohms or 5000-0 Ohms increasing and decreasing through its full range.
4If you do not get these readings replace the potentiometer.
The adjustment of the potentiometer is to set the drive pedal for a neutral drive motor operation. If the pot is not adjusted properly, the
machine will creep in either FWD or REV.
1See Figure 4. Install the pot into the Housing Mount (CC) and tighten the attachment nut.
2Connect loosely together both the Link Rod (V) to the Pedal (W), and the Throttle Lever (AA) to the potentiometer input shaft. Then
tighten only the Link Rod (V) pedal mounting Hardware (X). Note: Check the movement of the Foot Pedal (W) it must move freely
in both Fwd and Rev.
3See Figure 5. Attach test leads from a volt/ohm meter (set meter on 0x100 scale) to the RED/GRN and VIO/BRN wire connection
points on the potentiometer to check it’s total resistance (example 4800 Ohms).
4Next connect the ohmmeter test leads to the BLK/YEL and VIO/BRN potentiometer connection points. Then using a small
screwdriver, turn the shaft end on the pot to half the total resistance previously measured. Example: 4800 Ohms divided by 2 =
2400 Ohms. Then without turning the shaft, tighten the Screw (Z) and Nut (Y) to secure the setting at the Throttle Lever (AA) (Figure
4).
5Follow steps 1-2 in reverse order (see Potentiometer Removal steps) to finish the installation. Then test-drive the machine fo r proper
speed and FWD/REV directional control.

secure the Hub (L) to the output shaft on each gearbox.
Then pull the hub from the shaft and save the key.
2Remove the (3) (T) Screws and separate the Mount Bracket
(P) from the gearbox that needs replacement.
3Remove the (3) socket head cap screws securing the
gearbox that needs replacement and separate from the
brush motor.
4Re-assemble in reverse order and test for proper opera-
tion. Note: Apply a small amount of grease or “Never
Seize” to the gear box output shaft when reinstalling the
drive Hub(s) (L).Note: The gearbox output shaft rotates the brush holders in the
opposite direction of other Nilfisk-Advance auto scrubbers (see
below).
If the need to replace a disc scrub drive gearbox should arise, please follow the re-assembly instructions below.
1Installing the shaft keys-See Figure 3
Install (1) Shaft Key (U) into each end of motor shaft, you may need to use a hammer to complete this operation.
2Applying Never Seize
Starting with the back-end of the motor. Apply some Never Seize onto the back-end shaft and key. The installation of Never Seize
allows you to remove and replace the gearbox easily if the gearbox fails in the field.
3Installing the Back-end Gearbox (V)
Visually Line-up the Key (U) (installed into the motor shaft) with the keyway (W) on the inside of the gearbox. Slide the gearbox
onto the shaft as far as it will go. If the gearbox does not slide on completely (flush with back-end bracket), DO NOT use a hammer
to pound the gearbox on the rest of the way. Using a hammer will damage the shaft and bearings inside the gearbox. Carefully
wiggle the gearbox back and forth while pushing the gearbox the rest of the way onto the motor.
4Installing mounting screws
After the gearbox is completely flush with the back-end bracket of the motor, install 3 Screws (X) with lock Washers (Y) through the
gearbox mounting flange and into the pre-drilled mounting holes in the back-end bracket. Important: Make sure that the gearbox
shaft is pointing in the correct direction before installing the mounting screws. The gearbox shafts should both be pointing left, if
viewing the motor from the back end and the lead terminals are at 12:00. Tighten screws as much as possible with your fingers,
DO NOT tighten the bolts yet as the gearboxes still need to be lined up.
5Installing the Comm.-end Gearbox (Z)
Repeat the above process for the comm.-end gearbox. Remember: Before installing the mounting screws into the comm.-bracket,
make sure that the gearbox shaft is pointing in the correct direction. Both gearbox shafts should be pointing LEFT, if viewing the
motor from the back-end with the lead terminals at 12:00. Also, remember to not tighten the mounting bolts yet.
6Lining Up the gearboxes-See Figure 4
After you have made sure that the gearbox shafts are pointing in the correct direction and you have installed all 6 mounting screws
(X) (3 in the back-end gearbox and 3 in the comm.- end gearbox), you must Line-up the gearboxes. Re-install the Gearbox/Motor
Assembly onto the scrub deck as shown. Install and tighten the (6) Screws (AA) first and then tighten the (6) Screws (X).
1Lower the scrub deck with the scrub brushes installed. Don’t turn the key switch off until disconnecting the battery pack by using
the emergency disconnect (12). This procedure is done to prevent the scrub deck from automatically raising when the key is turned
off.

deck mount.
6Disconnect the brush lift motor wire harness at the motor.
7Remove the Retainer Ring (EE) (closest to the motor) then slide the upper Mount Pin (FF) from the chassis mount bracket.
8Remove the complete motor and drive nut assembly from underneath the machine. Note: Do not turn or reposition the drive nut
on the actuator shaft, mark if needed.
IMPORTANT: After removing the actuator motor and before replacing a new motor or drive nut the IN & OUT limit switches must be set
(or checked) to there correct specifications (see the electrical section for the Actuator Drive Nut Adjustment).
10 To disassemble the Drive Nut (GG) from the actuator shaft, remove the (2) Screws (HH) and separate both Retainers (II) & (JJ)
from the Spring Housing (KK).11 Remove the (4) Spring Housing Retainer Screws (LL) and slide the spring housing and (long) Compression Spring (MM) from the
actuator shaft. Then spin the drive nut off the actuator shaft and remove the top (short) Compression Spring (NN). Note: See the
Actuator Drive Nut Adjustment section in this manual to properly install a new drive nut.
12 After adjusting the actuator drive nut follow steps 1-11 in reverse order to re-install the scrub lift motor in the machine.
1Drain the solution tank.
2Lower the scrub deck with the cylindrical brushes installed. Attention: Don’t turn the key switch off until disconnecting the emergency
battery disconnect (12) and then turn the key OFF. Note: This procedure is done to allow the scrub deck from automatically raising
itself when the key is turned off.
3See figure 2. Remove the Debris Hopper (E) from the machine.
4Remove the nut and screw that secure the deck down limit Cable (F) at the deck mount bracket.
5Remove the Retainer Ring (G) securing the lower lift motor mount Pin (H) and remove the pin from the deck mount bracket.
6Disconnect the brush lift motor wire harness at the motor.

left side & P.N. 56407466, right side).
3Loosen the scrub brush belt tension hardware on the Belt Idler Pulley (Q) (use a 5/8-inch & 11/16-inch wrenches). Pull the idler
wheel away from the backside of the belt and roll the belt off both the motor and brush pulleys. Then inspect for wear and replace
as needed.
4Re-install the drive belt and tension the belt as shown in Figure 3. Then install the belt guard, reconnect the battery pack and test
the scrub system for proper operation.
SIDE SKIRT MAINTENANCE
General Overview: The side skirts function is to channel the wastewater to the rear pick-up squeegee, helping contain the water within
the machine’s cleaning path. During normal use the blades will wear in time. The operator will notice a small amount of water leaking
out underneath the side skirts. The skirt height adjustment is automatic on this system using spring tension and movable linkage arms
to control the blade pressure. The side skirt assemblies must move up and down freely for proper operation.
To replace the scrub system side skirt(s)…
•See Figure 5. Remove the (2) Hairpins (R) and swing the skirt assemblies open. Remove the (D) Screws and nuts then remove
the skirts and replace.

VACUUM / RECOVERY SYSTEM SERVICE MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
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.
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, 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.
Inspect and clean the vacuum motor filter and shut off float cage.
Make sure that the recovery tank drain valve seals airtight.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If water flows around the ends of the squeegee tool, instead of being pulled into the tool, the vacuum system is not working properly.
When a vacuum system performs poorly, it is usually because of one of the following problems:
Vacuum Leak(s) – Air flowing into the vacuum system past a bad gasket or leaky hose, damaged tank, or a leaky drain valve. A vacuum
leak below the water line will create turbulence in the recovery tank, causing water to enter the vacuum filter and motor.
Restriction(s) – Anything that blocks the flow of air through the system. Restrictions may also be caused by built-up debris in the
squeegee tool, vacuum hoses, float cage or wherever the airflow is forced to make a sharp turn.
Both leaks and restrictions decrease the quantity of air flowing through the squeegee tool. The air that does go through the squeegee
tool moves slower, so it has less pick-up power.

SQUEEGEE TOOL BLADE REPLACEMENT
If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged. Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water
and inspect the blades. Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.
To Reverse or Replace the Rear Squeegee Wiping Blade...
1See Figure 2. Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, then unsnap the Center Latch (E) on the squeegee tool.
2Remove the Wing Nut (F) from each end of the squeegee, then remove the Tension Straps (G).
4The squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine.
Replace the blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...
1Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, then loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts (H) on top of the squeegee and remove the squeegee tool
from the mount.
2Remove all the wing nuts that hold the front blade in place, then remove tension strap and blade.
3The squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine.
Replace the blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
4Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee.
SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
There are two major squeegee tool adjustments, height and angle. The recommended adjustment steps are to set the tool angle first,
then adjust the blade height.
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry.
1Park the machine on a flat, even surface and lower the squeegee. Then drive the machine forward enough to have the squeegee
blades fold over to the rear.
2See Figure 2. Loosen the Lock Wing Nut (K) (hand tightened). This secures the squeegee mount angle from easily vibrating out
of adjustment.
3Turn the Adjustment Knob (L) to tilt the tool forward or backwards, until the rear squeegee wiping blade touches the floor evenly
across its entire width.
4Re-tighten by hand the Lock Wing Nut (K).
Adjusting the Squeegee Blade Height
Adjust the squeegee height whenever a
blade is reversed or replaced, or if the
squeegee is not wiping the floor dry. The
squeegee blade height is easily adjustable
at the caster wheels. To adjust...
1Park the machine on a flat even sur-
face and lower the squeegee. Then
drive the machine forward enough to
have the squeegee blades fold over to
the rear.
2Loosen both the lock adjustment Wing
Nuts (I) (need to be hand tightened
only) located on the top of the caster
mount bracket.
3Rotate the Adjustment Knobs (J) CW
(clockwise) to lift the squeegee and
CCW (counter clockwise) to lower it. A
starting point when replacing the
blades is to adjust the caster mounting
bracket so it is level (parallel) to the top
of the squeegee tool. Note: The Right
and Left caster wheels must be ad-
justed equally to maintain level and
even blade pressure.
4Re-tighten the lock adjustment Wing
The battery condition indicators will give an indication of the state of charge of the batteries. The battery condition monitor will retain
the state-of-charge even if the key has been turned off. The state-of-charge indication is reset to full charge when the batteries have
been recharged. It is also possible to choose between two different low voltage thresholds depending on whether maintenance-free or
standard batteries are being used. Have qualified service engineer perform this selection*. NOTE: The following percentages are
based on useable battery capacity not total battery capacity. Therefore, 100% discharge = 80% of total battery capacity for standard
wet cell batteries or 70% of total battery capacity for maintenance free batteries.
Green Indicator = full charge down to 50% discharge
Green & Yellow Indicator = 50% discharge down to 75% discharge
Yellow Indicator = 75% discharge down to 90% discharge
Yellow & Red Indicator = 90% discharge down to 95% discharge
Red Indicator = 95% discharge down to 99% discharge
Flashing Red Indicator = 100% discharge - scrub system will automatically shut down
* Important Note: See the Main Control Board Special Program Options manual section (located in the electrical system) and follow
the instructions for setting the low voltage cutout threshold.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Charge the batteries each time the machine is used, or whenever the Battery Condition Meter (31) is showing anything other than a green
indicator light.
To Charge the Batteries...
1Depress the Battery Disconnect (12).
2Open the Battery Compartment Cover (15) to provide proper ventilation.
3Push the connector from the charger into the Battery Connector connected to the battery pack.
4Follow the instructions on the battery charger.
5Check the fluid level in all battery cells after charging the batteries. Add distilled water, if necessary, to bring the fluid level up to
the bottom of the filler tubes.
WARNING!
Do not fill the batteries before charging.
Only charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke while servicing the batteries.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to floor surfaces, always wipe water and acid from the top of the batteries after charging.
Proper maintenance of electric vehicle batteries can greatly extend their life. Well-maintained batteries may last up to 3 years, but failure
after 1 year is common if maintenance has been poor.
There are 3 simple rules for good battery maintenance:
•Maintain Proper Electrolyte Level - Use distilled water in batteries whenever possible. If batteries are discharged, add just enough
water to cover the plates in each cell. If batteries are fully charged, fill each cell to the bottom of the filler tube. Do not over-fill
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 specific 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”. Almost all
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 over-filled 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.
BATTERY TESTING
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 cell” in the battery system- that is, one (or more) cell that is putting out less voltage than the other cells.
Note: Always charge batteries before testing.
There are 2 ways to find a dead cell:
•Use a hydrometer to check the specific gravity (or “state of charge”) of the fluid 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 with the scrub drive motor running. The battery with the dead cell will read
1 or 2 volts lower than the other batteries in the system.
If the batteries in the machine are more than 1 year old, it’s usually best to replace the whole set, rather than replacing just one battery.
This manual section explains the steps for adjusting the drive nut settings for the machine’s two lift actuator motors. Reference the chart
below to find the IN & OUT dimensional specification for the specific actuator motor needing adjustment.
Part #Actuator MotorDrive Nut IN Position Drive Nut OUT Position
1See Figure 2. This shows the special actuator power cord adapter (PN 56407200) that is needed to connect the machine’s battery
pack and actuator motor for setting the drive nut limit settings.
2Open the machine battery compartment
and disconnect the battery connector. The
battery pack is needed to power the lift
actuator motor to properly set the IN & OUT
limit switches.
3Connect the actuator motor to be tested to
the power cord adapter end. Then connect
the alligator clips from the cord adapter (red
clip to the positive and black to negative) to
battery connector or battery posts. The
rocker switch is used to change the motor
rotation in setting the correct drive nut dimension.
Instructions for Squeegee Lift Actuator Drive Nut Adjustment
4See Figure 3. Hold onto the Actuator Drive Nut (A) and press the rocker switch to run the drive motor and retract the nut towards
the motor housing (it’s IN limit).
5Measure the position of the drive nut on the actuator shaft. Manually turn the steel tube to the IN position as shown in the chart.
6Hold the drive nut then press the adapter cord rocker switch to run the drive motor to the OUT position (wait until the motor stops).
7Measure the position of the drive nut on the shaft and compare the measurement with the OUT position shown in the chart.
8When the measurement doesn’t match the dimension shown in the chart it is necessary to remove the Adjuster Cover (B) and adjust
the Out position.
9To increase the travel of the drive nut, turn the adjuster clockwise. To decrease the travel of the nut, turn the adjuster counter
clockwise.
NOTE: Use a 5/16” (8 mm) wrench to turn the adjuster. Each click of the adjuster will change the nut travel 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).
10 After each adjustment, hold the drive nut, run the actuator IN & OUT and check both dimensions. After checking that the drive nut
limits are set correctly then replace the adjuster cover. Service Tip Note: Use the above power cord adapter to help position the
drive nut (in or out) for ease in actuator motor installations.
The HR 2800 / BR 700 wheel drive system uses a .8 horsepower, 24V, DC permanent magnet motor. The system uses a Curtis Model
1235 solid-state controller to regulate the speed and direction of the drive wheel. The controller unit is located to the left of the operator
seat, behind the louvered electrical access panel. The signal input to the controller is regulated by a potentiometer attached to the
foot activated drive pedal.
FUNCTION OF THE SPEED CONTROLLER STATUS LIGHT AND DISPLAY
The Curtis 1235 speed control will output a fault code if there is a problem associated with the speed control and wheel drive system.
See Figure 1. If a speed control fault occurs, the Hourmeter/Status display (E) will indicate “Err 03”. When the Err03 is being displayed
and detects a fault the Red Indicator (F) located by the key switch will flash a special error code sequence until the fault is corrected.
See table 1 for a description of the fault indications and descriptions. Service Note: Instructions on how to read the error code status
light. Example, OO O = two light flashes, a short pause. One flash, long pause and the code will be repeated.

4. Operation in extreme environments.
Note: A KSI (key switch input) type HPD (high pedal disable) is an operational fault caused by the operator activating the Fwd/Rev drive
pedal before turning on the main key switch. This can be cleared by removing the operators foot from the pedal and cycling the key switch
ON and OFF.
The primary function of the main control board is to position the scrubbing brush(s) with respect to the floor surface using a lift actuator
motor to maintain the correct brush pressure and current draw of the brush motor. When the normal scrub or heavy scrub switch is
depressed this will lower the scrub deck to the operating position and by activating the foot pedal start the brush motor. The controller
is continuously monitoring the current to the brush motor and when it senses a current draw out of the desired range it automatically raises
or lowers the brush deck by turning on the brush actuator motor. This process is repeated until the brush motor is shut off. The controller
also manages the other supportive systems such as the squeegee lift, solution on/off, and vacuum motor. Note: See the Know Your
Machine system in this manual for a complete explanation of the machine’s operation.
The secondary function of the main control is to detect any system failures and display an error code on the hour meter display or store
it in the main control board’s recall memory mode. The error code(s) are used to help the serviceperson determine the fault and to quickly
guide in repairing a specific system malfunction. Note: See the Troubleshooting Guide for further information.
An additional special feature of the main control board is to change program settings for a set of specific machine functions. See the
Main Control Board Special Program Options section in this manual for further information.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Any error codes detected by main control board will be displayed on the hour meter LED display as they occur. If more than one-error
exists the display will sequence through the error codes at one-second intervals. The error display will show on the hour meter as the
letters Err followed by a two-digit code. EX: Err01 would be a non-fatal control fault. When troubleshooting any fault description noted
with a double asterisk (**) follow the instructions for temporarily disabling the control boards special fault protection program. See the
Main Control Board Special ProgramOptions section in this manual.

When entering the main controller error fault recall mode and a fault Err01 or Err02 has been detected, the service person may see a
second set of error codes. Refer to the chart below that shows the additional fault error codes by machine system.
These secondary codes give information on a specific failure that is internal on the control board circuit. Therefore it is important to follow
through with all troubleshooting actions of any system faults that support an internal controller circuit failure before replacing a new main
control board. Example: A shorted solution solenoid valve causes a control fault 01 or 02 which appears on the machine’s hour meter
/ status display. The service person brings up the fault recall memory and sees additional two digit number(s) as shown in error code
range in the chart below. A complete check of that fault area would be completed before installing a new main control board.

SELECTION OF LOW VOLTAGE CUTOUT THRESHOLD:
The HR 2800 / BR 700 is equipped a low voltage cutout feature to prevent over-discharging the batteries. This feature will automatically
shut down the scrub system when the battery voltage falls to the selected threshold. The cutout level is adjustable. The standard setting
is 21 volts (1.75 volts per cell) and the so called maintenance free setting is 22 volts (1.83 volts per cell). The standard setting should
be used unless the battery manufacturer specifies the higher cutout voltage. It is important to mote that some maintenance freebatteries (including some gelled electrolyte cells) are capable of being safely discharged down to 1.75 volts per cell. To select between
the two types:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off switch.
3While holding the scrub off switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold the scrub off switch until the scrub off indicator turns green and the hourmeter/status display shows “Std” or “FrEE”.
5Release the scrub off switch.
6Pressing and releasing the scrub off switch will now select between the two options. For standard wet cell batteries select “Std”
and for maintenance free batteries select “FrEE”.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
ADJUSTMENT OF NORMAL SCRUB MODE PAD PRESSURE:
The default pad pressure setting when the normal scrub option is selected is adequate for most scrubbing operations. If it is desired to
increase or decrease the amount of pad pressure for the normal scrub mode perform the following steps. NOTE: At the maximum pad
pressure setting for the normal scrub mode, the pad pressure will still be less than the pad pressure when in the heavy scrub mode.
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the normal scrub switch.
3While holding the normal scrub switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold the normal scrub switch until the scrub off indicator and/or the normal scrub indicator turns green and the ho urmeter/
status display shows “PA 0” (the factory default setting).
5Release the scrub off switch.
6Pressing and releasing the scrub off switch will now decrease the pad pressure setting. If a setting below the factory default setting
is chosen the display will show “PA -X” where X is a number from -1 to -4. The minimum amount of pad pressure is selected when
the display shows “PA -4”.
7Pressing and releasing the normal scrub switch will now increase the pad pressure setting. If a setting above the factory default
setting is chosen the display will show “PA X” where X is a number from 1 to 2. The maximum amount of pad pressure is selected
when the display shows “PA 2”.
8To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
9The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.

RECALL OF STORED ERROR (FAULT) CODES:
Whenever an electrical system fault is detected by the main control unit, one or more error codes are displayed and stored by the control
unit. If it is desired, the error code (if any) from the previous operation of the machine can be recalled for troubleshooting purposes. To
recall the last stored error codes perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the heavy scrub switch.
3While holding the heavy scrub switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold the heavy scrub switch until the hourmeter/status display shows “Error”.
5Release the heavy scrub switch.
6If there were previously no error codes stored, the display will now show “nonE”. Go to step 12.
7If error codes were stored, the display will now show the stored code(s) and the heavy scrub indicator will now be green.
8To clear the stored codes press and release the heavy scrub switch.
9The hourmeter/status display will now show “ErASE” and the scrub off indicator will be red.
10 To clear the stored codes, press and release the heavy scrub switch one more time. To return to the error code display without
clearing the codes press the scrub off switch.
11 If the heavy scrub switch was pressed the error codes will have been cleared and the display will show “nonE”.
12 To exit the error code recall mode, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
ENABLING OR DISABLING THE VACUUM AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OPTION:
The HR 2800 / BR 700 is equipped with a feature that will automatically shut off the vacuum and display “FULL” on the hourmeter/status
display if the recovery tank becomes filled. If problems are encountered with the vacuum automatic shutoff feature, such as the vacuum
shutting off even if the recovery tank is not full, this feature can be disabled. To enable or disable this feature perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the vacuum switch.
3While holding the vacuum switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold the vacuum switch until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the vacuum indicator is green.
5Release the vacuum switch.
6Pressing and releasing the vacuum switch will now select between “on” or “OFF”. On means that the vacuum automatic shutoff
feature is enabled, off means that the feature is disabled.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
ENABLING OR DISABLING SOLUTION FLOW WHILE IN REVERSE:
Normally while scrubbing, the solution flow is stopped while in reverse to prevent flooding of the floor due to the fact that the squeegee
raises when backing up. If it is desired to allow solution flow while in reverse this feature can be enabled. To enable or disable this feature,
perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the solution switch.
3While holding the solution switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold the solution switch until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the solution indicator is green.
5Release the solution switch.
6Pressing and releasing the solution switch will now select between “on” or “OFF”. On means that the solution flow will be on while
in reverse, off means that the solution flow will be stopped while in reverse.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
MAIN CONTROL BOARD SPECIAL PROGRAM OPTIONS FOR MACHINES BEFORE
SERIAL NUMBER 1362502 (CONTINUED)
VACUUM OFF WHEN SCRUB OFF SWITCH PRESSED OPTION:
Normally, when the scrub system is turned off the vacuum is left on to allow recovery of any solution left on the floor and solution that
will drip off of the scrub brushes/pads. If it is desired to have the vacuum system shut off when the scrub off switch is pressed this option
can be selected. If this option is selected the squeegee will remain down until the scrub deck is in the up position. Once the scrub deck
is up, the squeegee will raise and the vacuum motor will shut off approximately 10 seconds later. This is so that any residual water left
in the vacuum hose will be recovered. To enable or disable this option perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off switch and the vacuum switch.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the vacuum green and red indicators
are lit.
5Release both switches.
6Pressing and releasing the vacuum switch will now select between “on” or “OFF”. On means that the vacuum will stay on when the
scrub off switch is pressed, Off means that the vacuum will shut off after the scrub deck has raised and the 10 second delay has
elapsed.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
RAMP MODE FEATURE:
Under normal conditions the operator will use the throttle for accelerating and decelerating/stopping. This works well unless the machine
is used to scrub on an inclined surface. In this case, using the throttle to decelerate (such as braking while going down hill) will cause
the squeegee to raise and the solution flow to shut off; or allowing the throttle to go to neutral (such as coasting down hill) will cause the
scrub brushes to stop. To prevent this the control unit can be placed into a “ramp mode”. If the ramp mode is enabled and selected, the
scrub brushes will continue to operate as will the vacuum and solution system even if the throttle is in neutral or reverse. In addition, the
squeegee will not raise when in reverse. The ramp mode is deselected by pressing any of the three scrub switches (scrub off, normal
scrub, heavy scrub) or if the operator gets off the seat. In order to be able to select the ramp mode, it must first be enabled. To enable
this feature perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off and the normal scrub switches.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the scrub off and normal scrub indicators
are green.
5Release both switches.
6Pressing and releasing the scrub off switch will now select between “on” or “OFF”. On means that the ramp mode is enabled, off
means that the ramp mode is disabled.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
Once the ramp mode is enabled, it can be selected by pressing and holding either the normal or heavy scrub switches (whichever is
currently selected) for approximately 1 second while scrubbing. The scrub motor must already be on to enter the ramp mode. While the
ramp mode is active, the scrub indicator (either normal or heavy) will alternately flash between green and yellow. As mentioned above,
pressing any of the scrub switches or getting off the seat will deselect the ramp mode.
MAIN CONTROL BOARD SPECIAL PROGRAM OPTIONS FOR MACHINES BEFORE
SERIAL NUMBER 1362502 (CONTINUED)
ENABLING OR DISABLING FAULT DETECTION:
Normally, the main control unit will perform checks of the electrical system during operation. If a fault occurs in a particular system that
system (and possibly others) will be shut down. This can make troubleshooting the system difficult. This option will allow service personnel
to disable some of the fault detection checks to facilitate troubleshooting. This will not disable the over-current protection on any of the
systems. To enable or disable fault checking:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off switch and the solution switch.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the solution red and green indicators
are illuminated.
5Release both switches.
6Pressing and releasing the solution switch will now select between “on” or “OFF”. On means that the fault checking option is en abled,
off means that the option is disabled.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
BRUSH TYPE SELECTION:
The HR 2800 / BR 700 can be equipped with two different scrub deck options. One uses cylindrical brushes and the other uses disc
type brushes and pads. This function configures the control unit current settings for each of the scrub deck types. To change from
one type to the other:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off and heavy scrub switches.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the heavy scrub indicator turns green and the hourmeter/status display shows “dISC” or “CYL”.
5Release both switches.
6Pressing and releasing the heavy scrub switch will now select between the two options. For the cylindrical brush unit select “CYL”
and for the disc type unit select “dISC”.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
BACK-UP ALARM VOLUME CONTROL:
The HR 2800 / BR 700 is equipped with an audible warning device which functions as both a horn and a back-up alarm. The volume
of the back-up alarm can be adjusted to one of ten settings. Off is the minimum setting and 9 is the maximum setting. To change the
back-up alarm volume perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the horn switch.
3While holding the horn switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold the horn switch until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or a number from one to nine depending on the
current volume setting.
5Release the horn switch.
6Pressing and releasing the horn switch will now select the volume level. The level will increment from OFF to 9, 9 being the loudest.
To hear the back-up alarm volume select the reverse direction by pressing lightly on the throttle.

8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
MAIN CONTROL BOARD SPECIAL PROGRAM OPTIONS FOR MACHINES AFTER SERIAL
NUMBER 1362501
SCRUB MODE DESCRIPTION:
On the 2800/BR700, both the normal and heavy scrub modes are independently programmable to have user adjustable or fixed scrub
pressure settings.
If the adjustable option is selected (factory default), the operator will be able to vary the amount of scrub pressure while operating the
machine. Maximum pressure limits can be programmed for both the normal and heavy scrub modes. This can be used to prevent
the use of too much pressure while still allowing the operator some adjustment of the scrub pressure.
If the fixed option is selected, a pre-set scrub pressure will be used for each mode (normal/heavy). The pre-set pressure settings can
be selected by a special key sequence described later. This would allow a supervisor to set up two different scrub pressures (normal/
heavy) thereby preventing the operator from having the capability to vary the pressure throughout the full range.
The scrub pressure can be set from 1 to 7 for cylindrical brush machines and 1 to 9 for disc brush/pad machines. The allowable range
for the normal scrub mode is 1 through 4 and the range for the heavy scrub mode is (normal limit + 1) through 7 or 9 depending on
model. This number is a relative indication of scrubbing effort. The actual pressure applied will vary depending on the floor surface
and the type of pad/brush used.
SCRUB MODE OPERATION (ADJUSTABLE):
If the adjustable option is selected (factory default) the scrub mode operation is as follows:
Pressing the normal scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the last selected value for the normal
scrub mode. The status display will momentarily display the scrub pressure setting. This is indicated by “PA” (Pressure Adjustment)
followed by a number.
Subsequent presses of the normal scrub button will step the pad pressure setting through the allowable range up to the maximum value
programmed for the normal scrub mode. Once the maximum value is reached the pressure setting will step back to 1. The factory
default maximum for the normal scrub mode is 4.
Pressing the heavy scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the last selected value for the heavy scrub
mode. The status display will momentarily display the scrub pressure setting. This is indicated by “PA” followed by a number.
Subsequent presses of the heavy scrub button will step the pad pressure setting through the allowable range up to the maximum value
programmed for the heavy scrub mode. Once the maximum value is reached the pressure setting will step back to (normal scrub limit
+ 1). The factory default maximum for the normal scrub mode is 7 (cylindrical) or 9 (disc).
SCRUB MODE OPERATION (FIXED):
If the fixed option is selected the scrub mode operation is as follows:
Pressing the normal scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the pre-set normal scrub pressure setting.
The operator will not be able to adjust the pressure for the normal scrub mode. The status display will momentarily display the scrub
pressure setting. This is indicated by “PA” followed by a number.
Pressing the heavy scrub button will enable the scrub system and set the scrub pressure to the pre-set heavy scrub pressure setting.
The operator will not be able to adjust the pressure for the heavy scrub mode. The status display will momentarily display the scrub
pressure setting. This is indicated by “PA” followed by a number.

Whenever an electrical system fault is detected by the main control unit, one or more error codes are displayed and stored by the control
unit. If it is desired, the error code (if any) from the previous operation of the machine can be recalled for troubleshooting purposes.
To recall the last stored error codes perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off and horn switches.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “Err *”. (* will be a letter indicating the revision level of the
control unit)
5Release both switches.
6If there were previously no error codes stored, the display will now show “nonE”. Go to step 12.
7If error codes were stored, the display will now show the stored code(s) and the scrub off indicator will now be green.
8To clear the stored codes press and release the scrub off switch.
9The hourmeter/status display will now show “ErASE” and the heavy scrub indicator will be yellow.
10 To clear the stored codes, press and release the scrub off switch one more time. To return to the error code display without clearing
the codes press the heavy scrub switch.
11 If the scrub off switch was pressed the error codes will have been cleared and the display will show “nonE”.
12 To exit the error code recall mode, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
ENABLING OR DISABLING THE VACUUM AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OPTION:
FACTORY DEFAULT: ON
The 2800/BR700 is equipped with a feature that will automatically shut off the vacuum and scrub systems and display “FULL” on the
hourmeter/status display if the recovery tank becomes filled. If problems are encountered with the vacuum automatic shutoff feature,
such as the vacuum shutting off even if the recovery tank is not full, this feature can be disabled. To enable or disable this feature
perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the vacuum switch.
3While holding the vacuum switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.

VACUUM OFF WHEN SCRUB OFF SWITCH PRESSED OPTION:
FACTORY DEFAULT: ON
Normally, when the scrub system is turned off the vacuum is left on to allow recovery of any solution left on the floor and solution that
will drip off of the scrub brushes/pads. If it is desired to have the vacuum system shut off when the scrub off switch is pressed this
option can be selected. If this option is selected the squeegee will remain down until the scrub deck is in the up position. Once the
scrub deck is up, the squeegee will raise and the vacuum motor will shut off approximately 10 seconds later. This is so that any residual
water left in the vacuum hose will be recovered. To enable or disable this option perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off switch and the vacuum switch.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the vacuum yellow indicator is lit.
5Release both switches.
6Pressing and releasing the vacuum switch will now select between “on” or “OFF”. On means that the vacuum will stay on when the
scrub off switch is pressed, Off means that the vacuum will shut off after the scrub deck has raised and the 10 second delay has
elapsed.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
ENABLING OR DISABLING FAULT DETECTION:
FACTORY DEFAULT: ON
Normally, the main control unit will perform checks of the electrical system during operation. If a fault occurs in a particular system
that system (and possibly others) will be shut down. This can make toubleshooting the system difficult. This option will allow service
personnel to disable some of the fault detection checks to facilitate troubleshooting. This will not disable the over-current protection
on any of the systems. To enable or disable fault checking:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off switch and the solution switch.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the solution yellow indicator is lit.

off means that the option is disabled.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
BRUSH TYPE SELECTION:
FACTORY DEFAULT: cyl (cylindrical), disc (disc)
The 2800/BR700 can be equipped with two different scrub deck options. One uses cylindrical scrub brushes and the other uses
standard disc type scrub brushes. This function configures the control unit current settings for each of the scrub deck types. To change
from one type to the other:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off and heavy scrub switches.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.

RAMP MODE FEATURE:
Under normal conditions the operator will use the throttle for accelerating and decelerating/stopping. This works well unless the
machine is used to scrub on an inclined surface. In this case, using the throttle to decelerate (such as braking while going down hill)
will cause the squeegee to raise and the solution flow to shut off; or allowing the throttle to go to neutral (such as coasting down hill)
will cause the scrub brushes to stop. To prevent this the control unit can be placed into a “ramp mode”. If the ramp mode is enabled
and selected, the scrub brushes will continue to operate as will the vacuum and solution system even if the throttle is in neutral or
reverse. In addition, the squeegee will not raise when in reverse. The ramp mode is deselected by pressing any of the three scrub
switches (scrub off, normal scrub, heavy scrub) or if the operator gets off the seat. In order to be able to select the ramp mode, it must
first be enabled. To enable this feature perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the horn and the normal scrub switches.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or “on” and the normal scrub green and yellow
indicators are lit.
5Release both switches.
6Pressing and releasing the normal switch will now select between “on” or “OFF”. On means that the ramp mode is enabled, off mea ns
that the ramp mode is disabled.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
Once the ramp mode is enabled, it can be selected by pressing and holding either the normal or heavy scrub switches (whichever is
currently selected) for approximately 1 second while scrubbing. The scrub motor must already be on to enter the ramp mode. While
the ramp mode is active, the scrub indicator (either normal or heavy) will alternately flash between green and yellow. As mentioned
above, pressing any of the scrub switches or getting off the seat will deselect the ramp mode. NOTE: when selecting the ramp mode,
the scrub pressure will increment as soon as the scrub switch is pressed. After the one second delay the pressure will automatically
be decremented to the original value.
BACK-UP ALARM VOLUME CONTROL:
The 2800/BR700 is equipped with an audible warning device which functions as both a horn and a back-up alarm. The volume of the
back-up alarm can be adjusted to one of ten settings. Off is the minimum setting and 9 is the maximum setting. To change the backup alarm volume perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the horn switch.
3While holding the horn switch turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold the horn switch until the hourmeter/status display shows “OFF” or a number from one to nine depending on the
current volume setting.
5Release the horn switch.
6Pressing and releasing the horn switch will now select the volume level. The level will increment from OFF to 9. 9 being the loudest.
To hear the back-up alarm volume select the reverse direction by pressing lightly on the throttle.
7To save the new setting, turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
8The new setting will be saved and will remain in effect until it is changed again.
SERVICE TEST MODE FOR MACHINES AFTER SERIAL NUMBER 1362501
To assist in the troubleshooting and servicing of the electrical system and related components on the 2800/BR700 scrubbers, a special
test mode which allows independent control of the various outputs and monitoring of the various inputs has been incorporated.
To enter the service test mode perform the following steps:
1Turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
2Press and hold the scrub off and normal scrub switches.
3While holding both switches turn the master on/off key switch to the on position.
4Continue to hold both switches until the hourmeter/status display shows “test”.
5Release both switches.
6The function of each switch and indicator is described below.
7To exit this mode turn the master on/off key switch to the off position.
Input Indicators:
Battery status red indicator (1):
Speed control status signal. This is an output from the speed control to the main control unit that indicates the status of the speed
control. Normally this indicator will be on whenever the key is on. If there is a speed control fault this indicator will flash the fault code
produced by the speed control. This is an active high signal. (High state = approximately 24 volts, low state = approximately 0 volts).
Battery status yellow indicator (2):
Speed control forward/reverse signal. This is an output from the speed control to the main control unit that indicates when the throttle
has been moved from the neutral position either forward or reverse. The yellow indicator will be lit if this signal is active low. (High
state = approximately 24 volts, low state = approximately 0 volts).
Battery status green indicator (3):
Speed control forward signal. This is an output from the speed control to the main control unit that indicates when the throttle has been
moved in the forward direction. The green indicator will be lit if this signal is active high. (High state = approximately 24 volts, low state
= approximately 0 volts).
Status Display (4):
If no over-current faults are present, the status display will show the battery voltage. This display is accurate to within +/- 0.15 volts.
Therefore, the voltage displayed may not correlate precisely to a high-accuracy, calibrated voltmeter.
The leftmost digit of the display is used to indicate the current direction for the pad/brush lift actuator and squeegee lift actuators. This
will be described in detail in the sections pertaining to the control of the actuator outputs.
If over-current faults are present, the status display will indicate the fault codes.
Output Controls:
The control panel switches are used to control various output functions of the main control unit. Below is a list of each switch and the
function it controls. Following the list is a detailed description of each function.
Horn switch (20): Used to jog actuators.
Scrub off switch (15): Controls pad/brush motor.
Normal scrub switch (16): Controls pad/brush lift actuator.
Heavy scrub switch (17): Controls squeegee lift actuator.
Vacuum switch (18): Controls vacuum.
Solution switch (19): Controls solution solenoid.

Horn Switch (20):
This switch is used to momentarily activate either the pad/brush lift actuator or the squeegee lift actuator. See the descriptions below
for more details.
Scrub Off Switch (15):
This switch is used to toggle the state of the pad/brush motor. Pressing and releasing this switch will alternately turn the pad/brush motor
on and off . The indicator (9) provides the following status information:
Off - Pad/brush output is off and there is no current flow through the contactor coil and no pad/brush motor current sensed.
Green - Pad/brush output is on and there is normal current flow through the contactor coil and normal pad/brush motor current sensed.
Flashing red - Either the pad/brush motor output is off and there is current flow through the coil or pad/brush motor current is sensed
(shorted output driver, control error, shorted contactor, wiring error) or the pad/brush motor output is on and there is no current flow
through the coil or no pad/brush motor current is sensed (open circuit, open relay coil, open contactor contacts, wiring error or open output
driver).
Normal Scrub Switch (16):
This switch is used to control the output to the pad/brush lift actuator. Pressing and releasing this switch will cycle the actuator output
through 4 states. These are:
1 - output off, direction = up
2 - output on, direction = down
3 - output off, direction = down
4 - output on, direction = up
When the output is in state 1, the actuator output is turned off. The pad actuator up indicator (5) will be lit and the normal scrub indicator
(10) should be off. If the indicator (10) is flashing yellow, this indicates that the control is sensing current flow through the actuator (shorted
output driver, control error). If the up indicator (5) is flashing, this indicates that the pad/brush lift system is currently selected. This means
that it is possible to momentarily activate the actuator output using the horn switch (20) This can be used to jog the actuator to allow precise
positioning of the actuator. NOTE: the actuator can only move in this situation if it is not at its up limit.
When the output is in state 2, the actuator output is turned on.The pad actuator down indicator (6) will be lit and the normal scrub indicator
(10) should be green or flashing green. The indicator will be a steady green if the control senses current flow through the actuator. It
will flash green if no actuator current flow is sensed (actuator at limit, open circuit, open output driver). The horn switch has no effect
in this state.
When the output is in state 3, the actuator output is turned off. The pad actuator down indicator (6) will be lit and the normal scrub indicator
(10) should be off. If the indicator (10) is flashing yellow, this indicates that the control is sensing current flow through the actuator (shorted
output driver, control error). If the down indicator (6) is flashing, this indicates that the pad/brush lift system is currently selected. This
means that it is possible to momentarily activate the actuator output using the horn switch (20) This can be used to jog the actuator to
allow precise positioning of the actuator. NOTE: the actuator can only move in this situation if it is not at its down limit.
When the output is in state 4, the actuator output is turned on.The pad actuator up indicator (5) will be lit and the normal scrub indicator
(10) should be green or flashing green. The indicator will be a steady green if the control senses current flow through the actuator. It
will flash green if no actuator current flow is sensed (actuator at limit, open circuit, open output driver). The horn switch has no effect
in this state.

4 - output on, direction = up
When the output is in state 1, the actuator output is turned off. The squeegee actuator up indicator (7) will be lit and the heavy scrub
indicator (11) should be off. If the indicator (11) is flashing yellow, this indicates that the control is sensing current flow through the actuator
(shorted output driver, control error). If the up indicator (7) is flashing, this indicates that the squeegee lift system is currently selected.
This means that it is possible to momentarily activate the actuator output using the horn switch (20) This can be used to jog the actuator
to allow precise positioning of the actuator. NOTE: the actuator can only move in this situation if it is not at its up limit.
When the output is in state 2, the actuator output is turned on. The squeegee actuator down indicator (8) will be lit and the heavy scrub
indicator (11) should be green or flashing green. The indicator will be a steady green if the control senses current flow through the
actuator. It will flash green if no actuator current flow is sensed (actuator at limit, open circuit, open output driver). The horn switch has
no effect in this state.
When the output is in state 3, the actuator output is turned off. The squeegee actuator down indicator (8) will be lit and the heavy scrub
indicator (11) should be off. If the indicator (11) is flashing yellow, this indicates that the control is sensing current flow through the actuator
(shorted output driver, control error). If the down indicator (8) is flashing, this indicates that the squeegee lift system is currently selected.
This means that it is possible to momentarily activate the actuator output using the horn switch (20) This can be used to jog the actuator
to allow precise positioning of the actuator. NOTE: the actuator can only move in this situation if it is not at its down limit.
When the output is in state 4, the actuator output is turned on. The squeegee actuator up indicator (7) will be lit and the heavy scrub
indicator (11) should be green or flashing green. The indicator will be a steady green if the control senses current flow through the
actuator. It will flash green if no actuator current flow is sensed (actuator at limit, open circuit, open output driver). The horn switch has
no effect in this state.
