Machine Set Up

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENCING ANY OPERATION
AFTER THE REMOVAL OF ALL THE PACKAGING, CAREFULLY OPEN AND CHECK THE CONTENTS

Tilting the handle

• Using the handle position lever (Fig.1).
• Move the handle into the upright position (Fig.2).

  

Fitting top tank

Fitting the brush

Featuring the Nulock brush system.

• The brush is simply pushed and twisted to lock, making fitting and removal a simple process. The Pad is retained using Numatic’s own
• PadLoc system (ask your supplier for details). Only use manufacturer supplied brushes / pads.
• TT 4045 requires a 450mm brush or a 400mm pad.
• TT 4055 requires a 550mm brush or a 500mm pad.
• Fit the brush / pad to the drive chuck, twist to lock the brush (Fig.5) / pad in place (Fig.6).

  
  Safety gloves are recommended for the changing of used brushes.

Tipping the Brush Deck

• To tip the deck into the down position (Operating mode). Press in the brush deck locking pin (Fig.7) and rotate the brush deck (Fig.8).
  To change to brush deck up position,
• (Transit mode) simply lift the deck and the sprung loaded locking pin will activate to hold the deck up.

  
  ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS

Fitting the Floor-tool
The floor-tool has been designed for quick fitting, allowing easy squeegee blade replacement and a safety knock-off feature
if the floor-tool gets snagged, whilst in transit.
Note:
It is easier to fit the floor-tool if the weight of the machine is resting on the brush. Ensure the brush is fitted first.

• Fit the floor-tool and retain using the detent pin (Fig.9).
• The lifting strap is held by a detent pin (Fig.10).
• Raise the floor-tool for transit or lower for cleaning operation using the lifting handle fitted to the back of the machine (Fig.11).
  For fitting the floor-tool blades (See Page 13).

  

Fitting the Hose Guide
The vacuum hose has a U-bend clip which creates a U-bend in the hose preventing water spillage when the vacuum is switched off. If you need to remove the U-bend clip for any reason always ensure it is refitted correctly before you resume operation (Fig 36-39).

Note:
Raise floor-tool again before driving to the cleaning area.

Filling the clean-water tank
The TT Range are all equipped with a 40 litre clean-water tank allowing large areas to be cleaning in a single fill.

• To fill the clean-water tank, use the FLEXI – FILL pipe from either a tap or hose pipe (Fig.12).
• The large cap on the left can be removed for filling from a bucket or suitable container (Fig.13).
  Fill the clean-water tank to a maximum of 40 litres, including cleaning chemicals if required. Follow chemical manufactures guide lines.

  
  Note:
  Great care must be taken to ensure that contaminants (leaves,hair, dirt, etc) are not allowed to enter the clean-water tank during the filling process. If using a bucket or similar, ensure it is always clean and free from debris.

Clean water level

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
For best results use a non-foaming type of chemical, dilute to the manufacturer’s specification. For further guidance on hazardous substances refer to health and safety instructions online. Visit http://www.hse.gov.uk/ for UK information.

WHEN HANDLING AND MIXING CHEMICALS
Always ensure that chemical manufacturer’s safety guidelines are followed. Only use chemicals recommended for use in auto scrubber-dryers.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate machine unless the Operator Manual has been read and fully understood.

Clean water tap

Machine Operation

Pre-cleaning advice
Before performing the cleaning operation, place out appropriate warning signs and sweep or dust-mop the floor (Fig.14).

Numatic part (629044) Wet Floor sign (available if required)
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE FLOOR IS PRE-SWEPT AND RELEVANT SAFETY SIGNS ARE DISPLAYED

Pre-scrub mode
The TT Range have been designed to cope with a variety of floor types and different levels of soiling. On heavily soiled floors use a ‘double scrub’ technique.First pre-scrub the floor with the floor-tool in the raised position, allow the chemical time to work, then scrub the area a second time with the floor-tool lowered.

Floor-tool in use

• The clean-water / chemical mix is dispersed via the ‘THRU-FEED’ system.
• The waste water is then retrieved by the floor-tool.
• Overlap the scrubbing path by 10cm to ensure an even clean (Fig.15).
• If streaking occurs, wipe the floor-tool blades clean (Fig.16).

  

Lowering the floor-tool

• After preparing the floor (see previous section), we are now ready to set the controls to suit the cleaning conditions.
• Before any settings can be applied, ensure the brush deck is lowered.
• Move the floor-tool lever (see Fig.17), to it’s lower position (see Fig.18).

  
  Note: The machine will still reverse with the floor-tool in the lowered position, this could possibly damage the blades. Raise the floor-tool before reversing.

Breakaway floor-tool

• The floor-tool design incorporates a safety knock-off feature.
• Allowing it to safely disengage from its mounting should it become caught on an obstruction, during forward machine movement.
  To re-attach the floor-tool blade to its holder, first loosen the retaining knobs on the floor-tool body and slide onto the holding bracket.
• Tighten retaining knobs to finger tight (See Fig.19).

  
  Note:
  Care must be taken to reduce speed when cornering or when manoeuvring around obstacles.

Setting the cleaning controls

Regular Maintenance

ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION

• Remove the two hoses to disconnect the separator from the machine (Fig.21).
• Lift off the separator. The separator has a sealing-rubber which should be examined at every clean-down (Fig.22).
  Rinse using clean-water.
• Remove the filter fitted into the separator and flush with clean-water (Fig.23) (Fig.24). Placed into the top tank is grey filter basket, clean and flush with clean-water (Fig.25) (Fig.26).
• The bottom (clean-water) tank is attached to the chassis and should only be removed by a competent service engineer (Fig.27).
  Clean by flushing with clean-water if required.
• Excess water can be drained using the clear dump hose fitted to the rear of the machine.
• Located under the left hand side is a clean-water filter, ensure the clean water tap is turned off before removing this filter (Fig.28).
  Clean and flush with clean-water if required.

  

Changing the Floor Tool Blades

ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE

The floor-tool
The TT range is provided with the aluminium floor-tool shown.

• Periodically the floor-tool blades should be examined and checked for wear and damage.
• The blade removal is easy. Simply start by removing the four retaining pins (see Fig.29), turn the floor-tool over and separate the blade carrier from the body (see Fig.30). Peel away the blades from their locating lugs (see Fig.31) and examine or renew as required. Replacement is a reversal of the removal process.
• To clean the floor-tool, remove securing-pin and disconnect the lifting strap and remove the floor-tool securing pin pull-free the floor-tool from the rear of the machine. Rinse the floor-tool assembly with clean water and refit.

  
  
  Note: The blades are designed to be reversible, thus extending their useful working life.
