MACHINE SET UP

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

1. Sweep or dust mop the surface to be cleaned.
2. Check battery meter to make sure batteries are fully charged. (See BATTERY CHARGING)
3. Check that squeegee is properly installed.
4. Check that brush / pad is properly installed.

MOUNTING THE SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY

1. Lower the Squeegee lift lever to the downward position.
2. Mount the Squeegee assembly (see machine components, p5 item #28) to the squeegee pivot bracket. make sure the knobs are completely seated into the slots before securing knobs.
3. Connect the vacuum hose to the squeegee assembly. Loop the hose by using the hose clip provided.
4. Check the squeegee blades for proper adjustment.

FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK

• The machine is equipped with a Solution fill-port (see machine components, p5 item #8 )at the front of the Solution tank, you can fill the solution tank by using a hose or a bucket. When using the bucket, stop filling when the level reaches the bottom edge of the fill-port.
• NOTE: When filling the solution tank with a bucket, make sure that the bucket is clean. Do not use the same bucket for filling and draining the machine.
• WARNING: Do not put any flammable materials into solution tank. This can cause an explosion or a fire. Only use recommended cleaning chemicals. Contact your Simple Clean Scrubbers dealer for recommendations on proper chemicals.

WHILE OPERATING MACHINE

WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard. Do Not Pick Up Flammable Materials Or Reactive Metals.

1. Go slow on inclines and slippery surfaces. Do not operate the machine on inclines that exceed 5% (3°).
2. Do not keep the machine in the same position with pad / brush spinning, keep the machine moving to prevent damage to the floor finish.
3. If the squeegee assembly leaves streaks on the floor, raise the squeegee off the floor and wipe the blades down with a damp cloth. Pre-sweep the area to prevent leaving streaks on the floor.
4. Pour a recommended defoamer into the recovery tank if excessive foam appears.
   • WARNING: Do not allow foam to enter the float shut-off screen, vacuum motor damage will result. Foam will not activate the float shut-off screen.
5. Occasionally check the Battery meter, the indicator displays the level of the batteries. When the meter is in the red, stop scrubbing and recharge the batteries.
   • All green lights are at 100% level.
   • Yellow lights on, green lights off: 50% level.
   • The red light is on, other lights are off at 20% level, the machine should be stopped and the batteries should be recharged.
   • Red light flash: the batteries have already been discharged deeply.
6. When the solution tank runs empty, turn off the Brush motor switch and lift the brush head.
   • Keep the squeegee down and continue to vacuum until all the dirty water is picked up.
   • NOTE: See TANK DRAINING section to learn how to drain recovery and solution tanks

TANK DRAINING

1. Turn off the machine.
2. With the squeegee and scrub head in their “up” position, transport machine to approved area for draining tank(s).

DRAINING THE RECOVERY TANK

• Any time scrubbing is completed, or when refilling solution tank, the recovery tank should be drained and cleaned.
• WARNING: If the recovery tank is not drained when the solution tank has been refilled, foam or water may enter the float shutoff screen and cause damage to the vacuum motor.

1. While holding the drain hose (see machine components, p5 item #10) upward, remove the cap and lower hose to drain.
2. Open the recovery tank cover and rinse out the tank. Use a rag to remove any excess dirt. Clean the float shut-off screen and debris tray located in the recovery tank

DRAINING THE SOLUTION TANK

Any time scrubbing operation is completed, the solution tank should be drained and cleaned.

1. Pull the solution clear tube(see machine components, p5 item #22) off the hose fitting, this will allow the solution to flow freely into a bucket or floor drain.
2. Remove the cover of the filter assembly to drain the solution tank, check the filter screen and clean up it if necessary.
3. Rinse the solution tank with clean water after every use. This will help prevent chemical buildup and clogging of the solution lines.
4. After rinsing out the tank, securely reconnect the tank level hose to the hose fitting, replace the filter assembly cover and be sure the filter screen and the “O” ring is in the correct position

BATTERY CHARGING

WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard. Batteries Emit Hydrogen Gas. Keep Sparks and Open Flame Away. Keep the Battery Compartment Propped Open When Charging.
