HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

This machine can effectively scrub dirty floors.The 1--STEP Scrub button makes it possible toimmediately begin scrubbing by operating all thescrubbing functions.

When in the conventional Scrub mode, a waterand detergent mixture is used to scrub the floor.

When in the optional FaST (Foam scrubbing)mode, the FaST scrubbing system mixes theFaST--PAK concentrate with a small amount ofwater, creating a large volume of expanded wetfoam. The FaST system can be used with allscrubbing applications.

When in the optional ES (Extended Scrub) mode,the dirty solution in the recovery tank is filteredthrough the ES system and returned to thesolution tank for reuse. Detergent is then injectedinto the returned solution to revitalize the cleaningcapability of the solution.

When in the optional ec--H2O (electricallyconverted water) mode, normal water passesthrough a module where it is oxygenated andcharged with an electric current. The electricallyconverted water changes into a blended acidicand alkaline solution forming a neutral pH cleaner.The converted water attacks the dirt, breaks it intosmaller particles, and pulls it off the floor surfaceallowing the machine to easily scrub away thesuspended soil. The converted water then returnsto normal water in the recovery tank. The ec--H2Osystem can be used with all double scrubbing andheavy duty scrubbing applications.

BRUSH AND PAD INFORMATION

For best results, use the correct brush type for thecleaning application. Listed below are the brushesand the applications for which each is best suited.

NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play animportant role in determining the type of brushesto use. Contact a Tennant representative forspecific recommendations.

Nylon brush (Disk)* -- Softer nylon bristles arerecommended for scrubbing coated floors. Cleanswithout scuffing.

Polyester brush (Cylinderical) -- Softer generalpurpose polyester bristles gently clean whilescrubbing. Perfect for sensitive floor surfaces.Polyester does not absorb water so it is preferredover Nylon in wet applications.

PolyPro brush (Cylinderical) -- Heavy dutypolypropylene bristles provide a more aggressivecleaning performance and can more easily liftcompacted dirt, debris, and sand while offeringexcellent scrubbing performance.

WHILE OPERATING THE MACHINE

Pick up oversized debris before scrubbing. Pickup wire, string, twine, large pieces of wood, or anyother debris that could become wrapped aroundor tangled in the brushes.

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 steering wheel.Avoid sudden turns, except in emergencies.

Adjust the machine speed, brush pressure, andsolution flow as required when scrubbing. Use thelowest brush pressure and solution flow settingsfor best performance. If the machine is equippedwith the FaST or ec--H20 system, use the FaSTor ec--H20 system for the best scrubbing results.

Keep the machine moving to prevent damagingfloor finishes.

If poor cleaning performance is observed, stopcleaning and refer to MACHINETROUBLESHOOTING in this manual.

Perform the Daily Maintenance Procedures aftereach use (see MACHINE MAINTENANCE in thismanual).

Drive the machine slowly on inclines. Use thebrake pedal to control machine speed ondescending inclines. Scrub with the machine upinclines rather than down inclines.

FOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slowon inclines and slippery surfaces.

The maximum rated incline for scrubbing with themachine is 8_ or 14%. The maximum rated inclineduring transport of the machine is 10_ or 18%.

Deflection is the amount of curl the overallsqueegee blade has when the machine movesforward. The best deflection is when thesqueegee wipes the floor dry with a minimalamount of deflection.

NOTE: Make sure the squeegee is level beforeadjusting the deflection. See LEVELING THEREAR SQUEEGEE.

1. Lower the squeegee and drive the machineforward a few meters (feet).


2. Look at the amount of deflection or “curl” ofthe squeegee blade. The correct amount ofdeflection is 12 mm (0.50 in) for scrubbingsmooth floors and 15 mm (0.62 in) for roughfloors.

12 mm(0.50 in)

3. To adjust the overall squeegee bladedeflection, turn the adjustment knobscounterclockwise to increase deflection orclockwise to decrease deflection.

4. Drive the machine forward again to recheckthe squeegee blade deflection afteradjustments are made.

5. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection ifnecessary.

PUSHING, TOWING, AND TRANSPORTINGTHE MACHINE

PUSHING OR TOWING THE MACHINE

If the machine becomes disabled, it can bepushed from the front or rear, but only towed fromthe front.

The propelling pump has a bypass valve toprevent damage to the hydraulic system when themachine is being pushed or towed. This valveallows a disabled machine to be moved for a veryshort distance and at a speed to not exceed 1.6kp/h (1 mph). The machine is NOT intended to bepushed or towed a long distance or at a highspeed.

ATTENTION! Do not push or tow machine fora long distance or damage may occur to thepropelling system.

Turn the bypass valve located on the bottom ofthe propelling pump 90_ (either direction) from thenormal position before pushing or towing themachine. Return the bypass valve back to thenormal position when through pushing or towingthe machine. Do Not use the bypass valve duringnormal machine operation.

TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

1. Raise the squeegee, scrub head, andbrushes.

NOTE: Empty the debris tray, the recovery tank,and the solution tank before transporting.

2. Position the rear of the machine at the loadingedge of the truck or trailer.

3. If the loading surface is not horizontal or ishigher than 380 mm (15 in) from the ground,use a winch to load machine.

If the loading surface is horizontal and 380mm (15 in) or less from the ground, themachine may be driven onto the truck ortrailer.

FOR SAFETY: When loading machine ontotruck or trailer, use winch. Do not drive themachine onto the truck or trailer unless theloading surface is horizontal AND is 380 mm(15 in) or less from the ground.

4. To winch the machine onto the truck or trailer,attach the winching chains to the holes in therear jacking brackets behind the rear tires.
