OPERATION

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

Conventional Scrubbing:

Water and detergent from the solution tank flow to the floor through a solution valve. The brushes use the detergent and water to scrub the floor clean. As the machine moves forward, the squeegee wipes the dirty solution from the floor into the recovery tank.

Foam Scrubbing (FaST Model):

(FaST--Foam activated Scrubbing Technology)

Unlike conventional scrubbing, the FaST system injects the FaST--PAK concentrate formula with a small amount of water and air onto the floor. The mixture creates a large volume of expanded wet foam for the brush to scrub the floor clean. As the machine moves forward, the foam collapses and the squeegee recovers the dirty solution into the recovery tank leaving the floor clean, dry and slip free.

BRUSH AND PAD INFORMATION

For best cleaning results use the appropriate brush type for your cleaning application. Refer to the Parts manual for part number information.

Polypropylene Bristle Scrub Brush (Black) --

This general purpose polypropylene bristle scrub brush is used for scrubbing lightly compacted soilage. This brush works well for maintaining concrete, wood and grouted tile floors.

Soft Nylon Bristle Scrub Brush (White) --

Recommended for cleaning coated floors without removing finish. Cleans without scuffing.

Super Abrasive Bristle Scrub Brush (Gray) --

Nylon fiber impregnated with abrasive grit to remove stains and soilage. Strong action on any surface.

Performs well on buildup, grease, or tire marks.

Polishing Pad (White) --

Used to maintain highly polished or burnished floors.

Buffing Pad (Red) -- Used for light duty scrubbing without removing floor finish.

Scrubbing Pad (Blue) -- Used for medium to heavy--duty scrubbing. Removes dirt, spills, and scuffs and leaves surface clean ready for recoating.

Stripping Pad (Brown) -- Used for stripping of floor finish to prepare the floor for recoating.

Heavy Duty Stripping Pad (Black) -- Used for aggressive stripping of heavy finishes/sealers, or very heavy duty scrubbing.

3. When the supply hose is not in use, connect the storage plug to prevent the FaST system from drying out and clogging up the hose. (Figure 16).

FIG. 13

4. Check the brushes to ensure they are properly adjusted (See ADJUSTING SCRUB HEAD

BRUSHES).

INSTALLING FaST--PAK CARTON (FaST Model)

ATTENTION: The FaST--PAK Concentrate Formula is specifically designed for the FaST system.

NEVER use a substitute. Machine damage may result.

1. Pull out the hose connector from the FaST--PAK carton and remove cap (Figure 14).

FIG. 16

FILLING SOLUTION TANK

Using a hose or bucket, fill the solution tank to the

“MAX 85L” mark (Figure 17).

For FaST Scrubbing: Use cool clean water only (less than 21°C/70°F). Do not add any conventional floor cleaning detergents, FaST system failure may result.

For Conventional Scrubbing: Use hot water

(60°C/140°F maximum). Pour a recommended cleaning detergent into the solution tank according to mixing instructions on the container.

FIG. 14

2. Open the battery compartment. Connect the

FaST--PAK carton to the supply hose and place carton in compartment (Figure 15). Make sure the hose does not get pinched.

FIG. 17

ATTENTION: For Conventional Scrubbing, only use commercially approved cleaning detergents.

Machine damage due to improper detergent usage will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

WARNING: Fire or Explosion Hazard.

Never Use Flammable Liquids.

FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine, unless operator manual is read and understood.

WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard. Never

Operate Machine In Or Near Flammable Liquids,

Vapors Or Combustible Dusts.

PRE--OPERATION CHECKS

Sweep area.

Check the battery charge level indicator.

Check the brushes/pads for wear.

Check the squeegee blades for wear and proper adjustment.

Make sure the recovery tank is empty and the float shut--off screen is installed and clean.

Check the scrub head skirt for wear.

Foam Scrubbing (FaST model): Check the

FaST--PAK concentrate level.

Foam Scrubbing (FaST model): Make sure the solution tank is filled with cool clean water only.

Foam Scrubbing (FaST model): Ensure that all conventional cleaning agents are drained and rinsed from solution tank.

STARTING THE MACHINE

1. Release the parking brake if equipped (Figure 18).

2. Turn the key to the on ( I ) position (Figure 18).

FIG. 19

4. Lower the squeegee assembly to floor by lowering the squeegee lift lever (Figure 20).

FIG. 20

5. Press the 1--STEP scrub button (Figure 21).

FIG. 21

6. Pull the control handle bail to start scrubbing

OPERATION

BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR

The battery charge level indicator displays the charge level of the batteries (Figure 26). When the batteries are fully charged, all five indicator lights will glow. As the batteries discharge, the indicator lights will begin to go out from right to left.

When the discharge level reaches the red light, the operator will have approximately one minute to continue scrubbing. When the red light begins to flash the scrubbing functions will automatically shut off to alert the operator to recharge the batteries. By pressing the 1--STEP scrub button, when the red light is flashing, the operator will get an additional minute of scrubbing.

OFF--AISLE WAND SETUP AND OPERATION

ON--BOARD CHARGER FUSE REPLACEMENT

The on--board charger is protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

To replace a blown fuse, follow the instructions as described below.

Required Fuse: 15 Amp (part no. 1030692).

Never substitute a higher Amp rated fuse than specified.

1. Unplug the charger’s AC power supply cord before replacing the fuse.

WARNING: Electrical Hazard, Unplug Charger

Plug Before Servicing Machine.

2. To access the on--board charger fuse, the machine’s left side panel must be removed.

To remove the side panel: a. Lift the recovery tank to access the side panel mounting screws. Make sure the tank is empty.

b. Remove the 3 mounting screws as shown

(Figure 45).

(Figure 48).

OPERATION

ADJUSTING SCRUB HEAD BRUSHES

To ensure optimum scrubbing performance periodically check the scrub head for proper adjustment.

FOR SAFETY: Before adjusting scrub head, stop machine on level surface, remove key and set parking brake if equipped.

DISK MODEL

Tools required: Measuring device, 27mm (1--1/16 in) wrench and 24mm (15/16 in) wrench

1. With brushes installed, lower the scrub head and apply medium brush pressure.

2. Turn machine off and remove key.

3. From the center front and back of scrub head, measure the distance from the top edge of scrub head to the floor (Figure 50).

FIG. 48

5. Connect the charger’s AC power supply cord into a properly grounded receptacle.

6. Connect the charger’s DC cord into the machine’s battery receptacle (Figure 49).

1. Measure the distance from the front edge of the scrub head to the floor and from the back edge of the scrub head to the floor (Figure 54). The measurements should be the same.

FIG. 52

To Inspect the Brush Pattern:

1. Position the machine on a dry dusty floor or apply a powdered substance, such as chalk.

2. Disconnect the drive motor wire connector to keep machine from moving forward (Figure 53).

FIG. 54

2. To level the scrub head, loosen the lock nut and turn the leveling screw clockwise to lower the rear of the scrub head or counter--clockwise to lower the front (Figure 55).

FIG. 53

3. Lower the scrub head to the floor and apply maximum brush pressure.

4. Shut off the solution flow.

5. Pull the control handle bail to create a brush pattern on the floor.

6. Raise the scrub head and pull the machine away.

7. Observe the brush pattern on floor. If the brush pattern is uneven or tapered, adjustment is required.

8. Reconnect drive motor wire.

Frequently asked questions

The FaST system injects a concentrated formula with a small amount of water and air onto the floor, creating a foam for cleaning. This allows for a safe scrubbing process that minimizes slipping hazards.

To adjust the brush pressure, use the buttons on the control panel. To adjust the brush alignment, use the tools provided and follow the instructions in the manual.

The T5 uses either sealed (gel) or wet (lead acid) batteries. Check the battery label to determine which type your machine uses.
