3. Manually attach by following the arrow head (D) to install the brush/pad-holder (as shown in Figure 3).

6. Remove by turning the brush/pad-holder in the opposite

direction and it can be taken off. (Figure 3)

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTING

7. Install the squeegee and tighten the knobs. Then connect

the vacuum hose to the squeegee assembly.

8. Adjust the squeegee through the adjusting handle (A) of the squeegee (Figure 4).

1) If the mid-section of the rear squeegee bracket, section B, has a gap with the floor or the

downward pressure is relatively light, adjust the handle in an anti-clockwise direction until the

Figure 3

USER MANUAL

whole length of the rear squeegee strip touches well with the floor. The front squeegee strip should lightly touch the floor.

2) If the two ends of the rear squeegee strip, sections C and D, have a gap with the floor or the

downward pressure is relatively light, adjust the handle in a clockwise direction until the whole length of the rear squeegee strip touches well with the floor. The front squeegee strip should

Lightly touch the floor.

Figure 4

Figure 5

USER MANUAL

CONSULTATION

：：：：

Each safety switch is capable of controlling independently the operation of the brush. In use, it

facilitates the control of the operation of the machine. Operators are encouraged to find the most comfortable

position their hands.

Turning off the machine

7. When you have finished using the machine, first remove the brush/pad-holder (refer to the steps mentioned above)

8. Release the safety switch (1) to turn off the brush/padholder and solenoid valve.

9. Press the Vacuum switch (39) to the “Off” position, and the Vacuum will delay for 5 seconds before stopping work.

10. Press the solution control switch (40) to the “Off” position to completely turn off the solution flow.

11. Press the power switch (38) to the “Off” position. And disconnecting the power cable (9) from the power supply.

12. Use the squeegee lift handle (14) to lift the squeegee.

13. Grasp the handle (2) and gently tilt the machine backward until the guide wheel (B) touches the floor. See Figure7.

MACHINE OPERATION

1. Start the machine according to the description above.

2. Hold the on / off switch (1) (Figure 6), push to move the machine, and start the scrubbing.

3. If necessary, turn off the machine, and adjust the squeegee. (Refer to the steps for squeegee adjustment)

4. If necessary, turn off the machine, and adjust the solution flow with the ball valve handle. (Refer to the steps for adjusting solution flow.

CAUTION

！！！！

In order to avoid damaging the floor, when the machine stays in one place without

moving, remove hands from switches & turn off the main power switch (38).

TANK EMPTYING

When recovery tank is full, a float shut-off device (36) will block the inlet connecting to the vacuum motor. Through a sudden increase of noise from the vacuum motor, it can be considered that the recovery tank is full and requires immediate draining.

CAUTION

！！！！

If the vacuum motor is suddenly turned off (due to sudden movement resulting in an activation of the float), and if a resumption of operation is

needed, please perform the following steps: press the power switch (38 and

39) to turn off the power and the vacuum motor, and open the recovery tank cover (25) to check if the float has returned to the water surface. Close the recovery tank cover (25), and press the power switch (38 and 39) to turn on the main power and the vacuum motor.

Recovery tank emptying

1. Turn off the machine.

2. Raise the squeegee assembly (14).

3. Move the machine to a dedicated draining location.

4. Grasp the handle (2) and tilt the machine backward until the guide wheel touches the floor.

5. Remove the drain hose from the clip, bend the top end of draining hose (A, Figure 8), and then remove the drain hose cap. Lower the hose to a low level or on the ground to drain the water. Alternatively, place drain hose to a low position or on the ground to make the water outlet face

Figure 7

USER MANUAL

downward (B, Figure 8), and then twist open the drain cap to drain the wastewater in the tank. After draining is completed, rinse the inside of recovery tank with clean water

CAUTION

！！！！

When draining the wastewater, the drain hose must

be folded or lowered to a lower position (Figure 8 A or B), and the cap removed for wastewater to drain. Do not allow the opening of the drain hose to face upward, as it could get wastewater on the operator..

Solution tank emptying

6. Complete Steps 1 to 4.

7. As shown in Figure 9, turn open the lid of Solution tank (A) counter

clockwise (direction C), to drain Solution tank completely. Use clean water to rinse the inside of Solution tank. When work is completed, replace the solution tank lid (A) by twisting in a clockwise in direction (B).

AFTER EACH USE

When work is done and before leaving the machine, completes the following steps:

1. Remove the brush / pad holder.

2. Drain solution tank & rinse with clean water.

3. Drain recovery tank & rinse with clean water.

4. Complete the daily maintenance procedures. (see maintenance section)

5. Remove and rinse squeegee assembly with damp towel.

6. Keep recovery tank lid unsealed from tank to allow fresh air to circulate freely

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

After the first 9 hours of use, please check components to ensure all connections (electrical & mechanical) are tight & check for any damage that may have occurred during operation. Check for water leakage.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
