Daily Operation and Maintenance

How to Install Batteries

Caution: Batteries are heavy.

Install (2) 12-volt batteries. New Batteries should be given a full charge before first use.
Limit use of new batteries during first 5 cycles.

1. Make sure the recovery tank is empty then turn down

the recovery tank.
2. Place batteries on the tray. Use the bracket to secure
them. Position them correctly.
3. Connect all the cable terminals.

Caution: Make sure you connect RED (+) cable

terminals to positive (+) posts and BLACK (-) cable
terminals to negative (-) posts. Machine will not operate
if not connected properly. Failure to do so will result in
damage to batteries and possible explosion.
4. Spray each post with a protective lubricant. Place
battery terminal protectors over all posts.

squeegee.
If solution is missed, reduce the amount of solution flow and pull the machine back over
the missed area. You can go forward or backward and pick up solution.

How to Control Excess Foam in the Recovery Tank

Watch the liquid as it accumulates in the recovery tank. If you notice excess foaming,

clogs or debris.
3. Clean and wipe the tops of batteries with an ammoniated window cleaner.
4. Charge the batteries as described in this manual.

Weekly

Never test the strength of the battery unless it is fully charged and cool.
Check the battery cells with a hydrometer.

Monthly
1. Lubricate brush and squeegee lift mechanisms with light oil.
