Switch and Button Functions
The controls on your rider scrubber were designed with one-touch operation in mind. For single-pass
scrubbing, the user can simply depress one switch 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 middle switches on the
control panel. These are the red Scrub Off and the green Scrub On/Pressure Increase Switches.

• Key Switch – main power switch; controls the battery input to the machine’s main control board and the
wheel drive speed control.
• Scrub On/Pressure Increase Switch – functions as follows:
If the scrub system is off, pressing this switch once will put the machine into the Auto Scrub mode. The
following will occur:
– The scrub system will be enabled with the scrub pressure set to the #1 normal setting.
Note: Press the switch twice for #2 heavy scrub setting, and three times for the #3 extreme scrub
setting. Pressing the switch a fourth time will return the system to the normal scrub setting.
– The scrub deck and squeegee will automatically be lowered. On cylindrical models equipped with side
brooms, the side brooms will be lowered.
– The vacuum system will be enabled.
– The solution and detergent systems will be enabled. Note that both the solution and detergent ow
rates will correspond to the selected scrub pressure mode.
– As soon as the drive pedal is moved from its neutral position, the scrub brushes and side brooms (if
installed) will start turning, and the solution, detergent and vacuum systems will switch on.
™
General Information15Service Manual – Condor™ EcoFlex™, BR 1100/1300 EcoFlex
◦ If the direction is forward, the solution and detergent ow will also start automatically.
◦ If the direction is reverse, the solution and detergent ow will be stopped and the squeegee will be
raised just enough to clear the oor surface.
Note: The solution, vacuum and detergent systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub On
Switch
is pressed to put the machine into the Auto Scrub mode. Any individual system can
be toggled off and on by simply pressing the corresponding system switch at any time during
scrubbing.
If the machine is already scrubbing, pressing the Scrub On/Pressure Increase Switch will increase the
scrub pressure to the next higher setting (toggling from regular to heavy, heavy to extreme, then back to
normal). The Scrub Pressure Indicator will show the selected scrub pressure (one, two or three bars) in the
Control Panel Display.
• Scrub Off Switch – Pressing this switch when the machine is in the scrub mode will cause the following to
occur:
– The scrub brushes will turn off and the scrub deck will be raised to the up position. On cylindrical
models equipped with side brooms, the side brooms will shut off and be raised.
– The solution and detergent ow will be stopped.
– Once forward machine motion stops, the vacuum/wand switch indicator light will start to blink. After
a user-programmable time delay, the squeegee will be raised and the vacuum motors will shut off.
Pressing the switch a second time before the vacuum time delay is complete will raise the squeegee
and turn off the vacuum motors immediately.
• Solution Switch – functions as follows:
– If the scrub system is off, pressing and holding this switch will switch on the solution ow to pre-
wet the oor. The solution ow will stop when the switch is released. Note this must be done prior to
pressing the Scrub On Switch and putting the machine into the Auto Scrub mode.
– If the machine is in the Auto Scrub mode, pressing this switch will disable the solution system. This is
used if you wish to scrub without adding additional solution to the oor.
– If the machine is in the Auto Scrub mode, you can use the Solution Switch to actuate the solution ow
override function. This override function allows you to select a different solution ow rate without
changing the scrub pressure. Note that the machine is programmed for two additional higher solution
ow rates plus the three normal default ow rates, for a total of ve solution ow rates.
To actuate the solution ow override function, press and hold the Solution Switch for three seconds until the Solution System Indicator ashes, then release it. You’ll have three seconds to select the desired
solution ow rate by pressing the Solution Switch. The Solution Flow Indicator will show the selected
solution ow rate (one through ve bars) in the Control Panel Display. Note that if any scrub pressure
change is made while in the solution override mode, the solution ow will return to its default solution
ow rate.
• Detergent Switch – functions as follows:
– If the solution system is enabled, pressing this switch will toggle the detergent system off and on.
When the detergent system is on, the detergent pumps will be activated at a specic rate when the
drive pedal is actuated. The detergent pump will turn off when the drive pedal is in neutral or reverse.
– If the solution system is off, the detergent pump will not turn on.
™
General Information16Service Manual – Condor™ EcoFlex™, BR 1100/1300 EcoFlex
• Vacuum/Wand Switch – functions as follows:
– If the machine is in the Auto Scrub mode, pressing this switch once will raise the squeegee. The
vacuum motors will run for a short time delay, then shut off. If you press the switch twice, the vacuum
motors will shut off immediately. This is used if you wish to double-scrub (scrub without recovering the
solution).
– If the scrub system is off, the Vacuum/Wand Switch functions differently depending on whether the
seat switch is open (no operator in the seat) or closed (operator in the seat).
◦ If the operator is in the seat, pressing the switch will lower the squeegee and switch on the vacuum
motors. When the machine is moved into reverse, the squeegee will be raised, then lowered when
the machine is again moved forward. This mode is used to pickup water from the oor without
scrubbing or adding solution.
◦ If the operator is not in the seat, pressing the switch will toggle the vacuum motors on and off
to allow use of the vacuum wand. In this mode, the squeegee will not move up or down and the
recovery tank full indicator is ignored.
• Scrub Speed Switch – When the machine is operating in any one of its scrub settings, the machine’s
travel speed is reduced to 80 percent of the maximum transport speed pre-programmed into the speed
controller. Pressing the Scrub Speed Switch overrides the 80 percent of transport speed limit and increases
the scrub speed to 100 percent of transport speed.
• Traction Control Switch – regulates the drive wheel motor torque to minimize drive wheel slippage and
provide better traction.
• Side Broom On/Down Switch – lowers and raises the side brooms (only functional on cylindrical models
equipped with side brooms). Note that when the scrub system is switched on, the side brooms are lowered
to the same position they were in when the scrub system was last turned off (auto memory operating
position).
Note: You can raise or lower the side broom height to maintain the correct broom contact patterns
and compensate for normal broom wear. Refer to the Sweep System, Side Broom section for
instructions on setting the side broom height.
• EcoFlex
™
Button – The EcoFlex™ Button functions differently depending on whether the EcoFlex
™
mode is
set to Mode 1 or Mode 2. (Also refer to the Control System/Main Programming Options/ EcoFlex™ Mode
Selection section.) Note that in Mode 1 the detergent concentration is displayed as a ratio. In Mode 2 the
detergent concentration is displayed as a percent.
– In EcoFlex™ Mode 1, the detergent ratio is preset to 1:400. Pressing the EcoFlex
™
Button in Mode 1 will
do the following:
◦ The detergent ratio will change to the programmed ratio. (Also refer to the Solution System/
Maintenance and Adjustments/To Program the Detergent Ratio section.)
◦ The scrub pressure will increase to the next highest pressure.
◦ The solution ow rate will increase to the next highest rate.
After 60 seconds, or after you press the EcoFlex
and the scrub pressure and solution rate will return to their previous settings.
™
Button again, the detergent ratio will revert to 1:400,
™
General Information17Service Manual – Condor™ EcoFlex™, BR 1100/1300 EcoFlex
– In EcoFlex™ Mode 2, the default detergent ratio will be the programmed ratio. Pressing the EcoFlex
Button
in Mode 2 will do the following:
◦ The detergent concentration will change to the next highest (richest) concentration. For example,
if the programmed concentration is 0.4%, pressing the EcoFlex
™
Button will change it to 0.5%. (Also
refer to the Solution System/Maintenance and Adjustments/To Program the Detergent Ratio
section.)
◦ The scrub pressure will increase to the next highest pressure.
◦ The solution ow rate will increase to the next highest rate.
After 60 seconds, or after you press the EcoFlex
™
Button again, the detergent ratio will revert to the
programmed ratio, and the scrub pressure and solution rate will return to their previous settings.
• Horn Button – sounds the horn when pressed.
• Control Panel Display – displays the various icons that indicate scrub pressure, solution ow rate,
detergent ratio, battery charge state and a recovery tank full condition. The display also shows any error
conditions detected by the main control board.
Control Panel Indicators
™
In general the following guidelines apply to the control panel indicators:
• When the key switch is rst turned on all of the blue control panel indicator lights will turn on for one
second for an operational test.
• A blue indicator means that a system is on and running, or has been enabled and is ready to switch on
when the drive pedal is moved into forward or reverse.
• The indicators will be off when the system is disabled or switched off.
• The green EcoFlex
™
Indicator will be on when the system is in the low-concentration mode, and ash when
the 60-second burst of power function is active.

The control system consists of the A2 Control Board Assembly, the A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly and
associated sensors and circuitry.
A2 Control Board Assembly
The A2 Control Board Assembly, sometimes referred to the
main controller, communicates with the Curtis A1 Speed
Controller
and the A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly to
coordinate the operation of the various machine systems.
The A2 Control Board Assembly is fastened to the Electrical
One primary function of the A2 Control Board Assembly is
to position the scrub brushes relative to the oor surface
using a lift actuator motor. The A2 Control Board Assembly
continuously monitors the brush motor current draw to
maintain the desired scrub pressure on the oor.
Curtis A1
Speed
Controller
• If the brush motor current drops below the desired
range, the A2 Control Board Assembly switches on the
lift actuator motor to move the scrub deck downward
until the brush motor current draw is within the
correct range for the scrub pressure selected.
• If the brush motor current rises above the desired
range, the A2 Control Board Assembly switches on the
lift actuator motor to lift the scrub deck upward until
the brush motor current draw is again within the
correct range for the scrub pressure selected.
Note: Refer to the Scrub System section in this
manual for a complete explanation of
scrub deck operation.
A secondary function of the A2 Control Board Assembly is to detect any system failures and display the
corresponding error code on the display panel, or store it in the control board’s recall memory mode. The
error codes are used to help service technicians determine the fault and to guide in repairing a specic
system malfunction quickly.
Note: See the Troubleshooting section for further information.
The A2 Control Board Assembly also allows you to change program settings for a set of specic machine
functions. See the Main Control Programming Options section in this manual for further information.
A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly
The A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly is the user
interface that includes the various system switches and
buttons, and the control panel display. The A3 Switch/
Display Panel Assembly sends the operator inputs via a
CAN BUS to the A2 Control Board Assembly.

Circuit Description
The A2 Control Board Assembly is connected by several inputs to battery negative:
The A2 Control Board Assembly gets positive battery voltage from two inputs:
• When the key switch, seat switch and battery interlock are closed, positive voltage is supplied to the A2
Control Board Assembly.
• When the key switch is closed, positive voltage is supplied to the coil side of contactor K5. When K5
contacts close, positive voltage is supplied to the A2 Control Board Assembly.
The A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly gets voltage from two outputs on the A2 Control Board Assembly.
The A3 Switch/Display Panel Assembly communicates with the A2 Control Board Assembly via a CAN BUS
connection (CAN H and CAN L).

Main Control Programming Options
Fault Recall Mode
Whenever the A2 Control Board Assembly detects an electrical system error or fault, one or more error
codes are displayed and stored by the A2 Control Board Assembly. You can recall error codes (if any) from
previous machine operation for troubleshooting purposes, To recall stored error codes:
1. Turn the key switch off.
2. Press and hold the solution switch.
3. While holding the solution switch, turn the key switch on.
4. Continue to hold the solution switch until the solution system indicator turns on.
5. Release the solution switch. The solution system indicator turns off and the scrub off indicator will light.
The display will show a wrench icon indicating that you are in fault recall mode.
• If there are no previous error codes stored, the display will show the no-fault wrench icon
asking you to reset the machine (no fault). Skip to step 7.
• If error codes have been stored, the display will show the wrench icon and error number(s) next to the
wrench. If more than one error code is stored, the display will toggle through all the errors stored.
6. • If you want to save the codes, skip to step 7.
• To clear the stored error codes, press the scrub off switch. The display will now show key switch icon
asking you to reset the machine.
7. To exit the fault recall mode, turn the key switch off.
To Restore the Scrub Pressures to the Factory Default Settings
1. Turn the key switch off.
2. Press and hold the scrub on switch.
3. While holding the scrub on switch, turn the key switch on.
4. Continue to hold the scrub on switch until the display shows key switch icon. The factory default scrub
pressures have now been restored.
5. Turn the key switch off.
To Enable/Disable the Fault Detection
Note that the factory default for fault detection is 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
troubleshooting the system difcult. 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 turn the fault checking on or off:
1. Turn the key switch off.
2. Press and hold both the scrub off switch and solution switch.
