HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

The steering wheel controls the direction ofmachine travel. The directional pedal controls thespeed and forward/reverse directions. The brakepedal slows and stops the machine.

The scrub components of the machine are asolution tank, scrub brushes, rear and sidesqueegees, a vacuum system, and a recoverytank.

Water and detergent, from the solution tank, flowto the floor through a solution valve to the scrubbrushes. The brushes scrub the floor. As themachine is moved forward the squeegees wipethe dirty solution off the floor, which is then pickedup and drawn into the recovery tank.

When using the ESt mode, the solution in therecovery tank is filtered and returned to thesolution tank to be reused.

Two different widths of scrub heads are availablefor the machine. The MaxProt 1000 scrub headcontains two disk scrub brushes. The MaxProt1200 scrub head contains three disk scrubbrushes.

When finished scrubbing, drain and clean therecovery tank. If using the ESt system, drain andclean the solution tank, and clean the ESt filter.

SCRUBBING AND BRUSH INFORMATION

Pick up oversized debris before scrubbing. Pickup pieces of wire, string, twine, etc., which couldbecome wrapped around the scrubbing brushes.

Plan the scrubbing in advance. Try to arrangelong runs with minimum stopping and starting. Doan entire floor or section at one time.

Drive as straight a path as possible. Avoidbumping into posts or scraping the sides of themachine. Overlap the scrub paths by severalcentimeters (a few inches).

Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply whenthe machine is in motion. The machine is veryresponsive to the movement of the steeringwheel. Avoid sudden turns, except inemergencies.

When scrubbing dead end aisles, start at theclosed end of the aisle and scrub your way out.

Adjust the machine speed, scrub brush pressure,and solution flow as required when scrubbing.Use minimum scrub brush pressure and solutionflow required for the best results. The machinehas an edge clean feature for scrubbing againstan edge.

If you see poor scrubbing performance, stopscrubbing and refer to MACHINETROUBLESHOOTING.

For best results, use the correct brush type foryour cleaning application. The following arerecommended brush applications.

Non-scuff polypropylene scrub brush -- Thisbrush uses a softer, general purposepolypropylene bristle to lift lightly compactedsoilage without scuffing high-gloss coated floors.

Nylon scrub brush -- Recommended forscrubbing coated floors. Cleans without scuffing.

Super abrasive bristle scrub brush -- Nylonfiber impregnated with abrasive grit to removestains and soilage. Strong action on any surface,performing well on buildup, grease, or tire marks.

Stripping pad -- This brown pad is for strippingfloors. Quickly and easily cuts through old finish toprepare the floor for re-coating.

BATTERIES

The batteries are unique in that they hold theirpower for long periods of time. The lifetime of thebatteries is limited by the number of charges thebatteries receive. To get the most life from thebatteries, charge them when all the batterydischarge indicator segments shut off (20%charge left). Use an automatic charger with theproper rating for the batteries.

Periodically clean the top surface of the batteriesand the terminals, and check for looseconnections. Use a strong solution of baking sodaand water. Brush the solution sparingly over thebattery tops, terminals, and cable clamps. Do notallow any baking soda solution to enter thebatteries. Use a wire brush to clean the terminalposts and the cable connectors. After cleaning,apply a coating of clear battery post protectant tothe terminals and the cable connectors. Keep thetops of the batteries clean and dry.

Keep all metallic objects off the top of thebatteries, which may cause a short circuit.Replace any worn or damaged wires.

Check the electrolyte level in each battery aftercharging, and every 50 hours of operation. Neveradd acid to the batteries, only distilled water.Always keep the battery caps on, except whenadding water or taking hydrometer readings.

Measuring the specific gravity, using ahydrometer, is a way to determine the chargelevel and condition of the batteries. If one or moreof the battery cells test lower than the otherbattery cells (0.050 or more), the cell is damaged,shorted, or is about to fail.

04380

MAINTENANCE

515 MM420 (10--96)54

NOTE: Do not take readings immediately afteradding distilled water. If the water and acid are notthoroughly mixed, the readings may not beaccurate. Check the hydrometer readings againstthe following chart to determine the remainingbattery charge level:

SPECIFIC GRAVITY at27_ C (80_ F)

BATTERYCHARGE

1.290 100% Charged

1.252 75% Charged

1.200 50% Charged

1.177 25% Charged

1.140 Discharged

NOTE: If the readings are taken when the batteryelectrolyte is any temperature other than 27_ C(80_ F), the reading must be temperaturecorrected. Add or subtract to the specific gravityreading 0.004, 4 points, for each 6_ C (10_ F)above or below 27_C (80_ F).

The side squeegees control water spray andchannel water into the path of the rear squeegee.

REAR SQUEEGEE

Check the squeegee blades for damage and weardaily. Rotate or replace either of the squeegeeblades if the leading edge is torn or worn half-waythrough the thickness of the blade.

The squeegee can be adjusted for leveling anddeflection. The deflection and leveling of thesqueegee blades should be checked daily, orwhen scrubbing a different type of floor.

LEVELING THE REAR SQUEEGEE

Leveling of the squeegee assures even contactthe length of the squeegee blade with the surfacebeing scrubbed. Make sure this adjustment isdone on an even, level floor.

1. Turn the machine power on.

2. Lower the squeegee.

3. Set the machine parking brake while thedriving machine slowly forward, and turn themachine power off.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving orservicing machine; stop on levelsurface, set parking brake, turn offmachine and remove key.

4. Look at the deflection of the squeegeeblade, over the full length of the squeegeeblade.

MAINTENANCE

63515 MM420 (9--98)

5. If the deflection is not the same over the fulllength of the blade, adjust the deflection byturning the leveling adjustment screw.

Turn the leveling adjustment screwclockwise to decrease the deflection at theends of the squeegee blade.

Turn the leveling adjustment screwcounter-clockwise to increase the deflectionat the ends of the squeegee blade.

6. Release the parking brake and drive themachine forward again with the squeegeedown to check the squeegee bladedeflection.

7. Readjust the squeegee level if necessary.

ADJUSTING REAR SQUEEGEE BLADEDEFLECTION

Deflection is the amount of curl the squeegeeblade has when the machine moves forward withthe squeegee lowered to the floor. The bestdeflection is when the squeegee wipes the floorjust dry with a minimum amount of deflection.

1. Turn the machine power on.

2. Lower the squeegee.

3. Set the machine parking brake while drivingthe machine slowly forward, and turn themachine power off.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving orservicing machine; stop on levelsurface, set parking brake, turn offmachine and remove key.

4. Look at the deflection of the squeegeeblade. The correct amount of deflection is15 to 20 mm (0.50 to 0.75 in).

5. To adjust the amount of deflection, loosenthe caster jam nut. Turn the caster shaftusing the flats.

Turn the shaft clockwise to decrease theblade deflection. Turn the shaftcounter-clockwise to increase bladedeflection. Tighten the jam nut.

6. Release the parking brake and drive themachine forward again to check thesqueegee blade deflection.

7. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection ifnecessary.

SIDE SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

The side squeegee has one adjustment; height.To change the height adjustment, disconnect thesqueegee spring from the clevis pin and move theclevis pin to a different hole location. The factorysetting is in the middle hole location.

SQUEEGEE BLADES

The rear squeegee assembly channels water intothe vacuum fan suction. The front blade channelsthe water, and the rear blade wipes the floor.

The side squeegees control water spray andchannel water into the path of the rear squeegee.

Replace any worn or damaged squeegee blades.

REAR SQUEEGEE BLADES

Check the squeegee blades for damage and weardaily. Rotate or replace either of the squeegeeblades if the leading edge is torn or worn half-waythrough the thickness of the blade.

The squeegee has two squeegee blades, the frontand rear. Each blade has four wiping edges. Touse them all, start with one wiping edge. To usethe next wiping edge, rotate the bladeend-for-end. To use the next wiping edge, rotatethe top edges down, bottom edges up. To use thelast edge, rotate the blade end-for-end.

REPLACING OR ROTATING THE REARSQUEEGEE BLADES

1. Make sure the squeegee is raised off thefloor.

2. Turn the machine power off and set theparking brake.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving orservicing machine; stop on levelsurface, turn off machine.
