The 3625S is initially switched on by plugging the unit into the wall. The “EZlamp” charge state
indicator then displays whether the unit is set for flooded lead or AGM type batteries by flashing
ChargeStatusLEDs
the corresponding LEDs. For flooded lead batteries the “EZlamp” will display ONLY the RED
LED flashing for about 5 seconds. For AGM batteries the “EZlamp” will display a flashing
GREEN & RED LED for about 5 seconds.

Steady GREEN Indicates charge cycle is complete
TROUBLE SHOOTING
In the event that there is a problem with charger here is a simple trouble shooting guide.
If the unit does not power on
receptacle and that that the circuit breaker for that receptacle is not blown. Watch the “EZlamp”
indicator to see if any LEDs illuminate when it is plugged in. If no LEDs light try a different
power cord. If this does not fix the problem the charger needs to be replaced.

Daily Maintenance
1. Remove and clean pads or brushes. Never use soiled pads when cleaning. Replace pads when they become packed with residue.
2. Remove and clean debris from the float shut-off screen and drain saver located inside the recovery tank.
3. Drain and rinse tanks thoroughly
4. Inspect vacuum hose for any objects obstructing the air flow.
5. Raise squeegee and wiper blades with a clean cloth. Store squeegee in the raised position to prevent damage or setting of the blades.
6. Wipe down machine if needed. Use a nonabrasive, non solvent cleaner, or a clean damp cloth.
7. Recharge the batteries if needed.
Weekly Maintenance
1. Check battery water level in each cell of the batteries, and fill as needed. Always usedistilled water to refill batteries. Batteries should be filled approximately 3/4" to 1" above the plates. Overfilling will cause the batteries to leak during charging. The charging process creates gas bubbles inside the battery, which effectively increases the volume of the electrolyte.
2. Clean battery tops to prevent corrosion.
3. Rotate br ushes. Ro tate the left to the right and right to left. On cylindrical models from front to back, or end to end if using different materials.
4. Drai n and rins e ta n ks thoro u g h ly . To thoroughly flush out any solution chemicals in so luti on li n e and valv e s, refill solution tank with a few gallons of warm clean water and run machine u nti l tan k is emp ty.

Yearly Maintenance
1. Call your local dealer for year ly m ai n tenance

1. Be sure to flu sh the tanks out completely. To thoroughly flush out any soluti on c h emicals in solution li ne and valves, refill solution tank with a few gallons of warm clean water and run machine until ta n k i s e mpty.
2. Open the recovery tank lid to promote air circulation.
3. Raise brushes and squeegee.
Checking Battery Specific Gravity
