INTRODUCTION

This manual is furnished with each new machine. This manual will allow the Operator to get the best performance out of your RPS manufactured Scrubber-Drier, Sweeper, Burnisher, or Orbital Scrubber. Read this manual thoroughly before operating or servicing the machine.

This machine will provide excellent performance, but the best results will be obtained at the most minimum costs if:

• The machine is regularly maintained - per the machine Preventative Maintenance instructions provided.

• The machine is operated with reasonable care and caution.

• The machine is maintained with manufacturer supplied parts.

INSTALLING MAIN BROOM:

1. Turn Key Switch to the OFF position and remove Key.

2. Open Side Access Door and remove bolt holding Idler

Arm in place (A) (SEE BELOW).

A

3. Remove Idler Arm and pull out old Broom (B) (SEE

INSTALLING SIDE BROOMS:

1. Lower the Side Brooms by pulling forward on the Side

Broom Level and sliding to the rear.

2. Remove the Side Brooms from the box.

MACHINE OPERATION

PRE-CLEANING CHECKLIST:

3. Install the Side Brooms onto the Motor Shaft. Use the bottom hole on the shaft to install the Clevis Pin and

Read and understand the Safety Messages section on Pages 3 and 4 before operating the machine.

1. Check Battery Condition Gauge on the Control Panel.

Make sure Batteries are fully charged before using.

A

2. Check the condition of the Brooms.

3. Check to make sure Hopper is empty.

4. Disconnect Charger and close Hood.

5. Adjust the Seat and Steering Pedestal.

6. Turn the Key Switch ON and drive to the area to be cleaned.

Saftey Clip (A) (SEE BELOW).

4. Check Side Broom height to see if Adjustments are needed.

ADJUSTING SIDE BROOMS:

7. Adjust the speed of the Side Brooms to the desired speed and confi rm the Side Brooms height is correct.

8. Lower the Main Broom and the Side Brooms.

1. To adjust Side Broom height, turn Adjustment Screws

Clockwise to raise and Counterclockwise to lower (B)

(SEE BELOW).

OPERATING HINTS:

2. The right Side Broom bristles should contact the fl oor in a 10 o’clock to a 3 o’clock pattern when the Broom is in motion (C) (SEE BELOW). The left Side Broom bristles should contact the fl oor in a 9 o’clock to a 2 o’clock pattern when the Broom is in motion (D) (SEE BELOW).

1. Observe the amount of dirt/debris that the machine is sweeping up. If dirt/debris is left on ground make sure that the Wet Sweep By-Pass is not open. This feature reduces dust control and should only be used when operating on a fl oor with water on it.

B

C

2. Always operate at lower speeds when sweeping around walls and objects. You should reduce the speed to maintain control when turning.

3. Change or turn over Brooms when dirty.

4. Stay clear of objects protruding from the fl oor such as sockets, grates, etc, for they will damage the Brooms.

D

3. To raise the Side Brooms higher when in the up position, adjust the Adjustment Arm (E) (SEE BELOW).

5. Always keep an eye on your gauges. They let you know the status of a particular system at a glance. If your battery gauge is reading low you must stop immediately and recharge. Running the Batteries dead will result in damage to the Batteries.

6. When you are ready to stop, raise the Side Brooms, raise the Main Broom, turn OFF the Side Broom Switch, turn OFF the Main Broom Switch and drive the machine back to the charging area. Be sure to clean the Hopper thoroughly before storing the machine.

SWEEPING:

1. Turn on machine Key Switch (A).

2. Check the Battery Gauge to ensure proper charge before starting to sweep (B).

3. Lower the Main Broom to the fl oor by dropping the

Main Broom Lift Lever forward (C).

4. Lower the Side Brooms head to the fl oor by dropping the Side Broom Lift Lever forward (D).

5. Turn on the Main Broom Motor by pressing the Main

Broom Motor Switch (E).

6. Turn on the Side Broom Motors by pressing the Side

Broom Motors Switch (F).

7. Set the speed of the Side Brooms by dialing the Side

Broom Speed Control (G) (Clockwise = Fastest /

CounterClockwise = Slowest).

8. Begin sweeping by depressing the Foot Pedal (H) slowly and then to the speed required.

9. Once the machine begins to move, check the Broom

Amp Gauge (I). This Gauge allows the Operator to see if there are issues in regards to the Broom type for certain applications, if something was tangled in the Broom, or other small issues that could cause the circuit to blow.

10. To operate the machine in reverse, simply switch the

Reverse switch (J) back towards the rear of the machine. The reverse speed is set to approximately 50% of the forward speed.

11. To stop the machine, release the Foot Pedal and the machine will stop automatically (H).

WET SWEEPING:

1. Turn on machine Key Switch (A).

2. Check the Battery Gauge to ensure proper charge before starting to sweep (B).

3. Lower the Main Broom to the fl oor by dropping the

Main Broom Lift Lever forward (C).

4. Lower the Side Brooms head to the fl oor by dropping the Side Broom Lift Lever forward (D).

5. Open the WET Sweep By-Pass door by rotating it clockwise (K). This door being open reduces the Dust

Control. Always remember to close door when sweeping again once on dry ground.

6. Turn on the Main Broom Motor by pressing the Main

Broom Motor Switch (E).

7. Turn on the Side Broom Motors by pressing the Side

Broom Motors Switch (F).

8. Set the speed of the Side Brooms by dialing the Side

Broom Speed Control (G) (Clockwise = Fastest /

WARNING

Dress safely. Do not wear rings or metal wrist watches when servicing this machine, as they can cause an electrical short circuit which can cause serious burns.

WATERING:

• Add water, NEVER ACID, to cells (distilled water

recommended).

• Do not over water

• Before charging the Batteries, only add water if the plates are exposed. Add just enough water to cover the plates, then charge the batteries. Once fully charged, add water to the proper level as indicated below.

• For full charge plus series Batteries add water to the maximum water level indicator (A).

• After watering, secure vent caps back on Batteries.

WATER LEVEL SHOULD BE

1/8'' ABOVE PLATES

A

INSPECTION AND CLEANING:

• Keep Batteries clean and dry from residue

• Check that all vent caps are tight

• Use a solution of baking soda and water to clean if acid residue on Batteries or corrosion on the terminals

• Protective spray of petroleum jelly should be applied to terminals to reduce corrosion

STORAGE:

• Batteries should be fully charged prior to and during storage

• Never store discharged Batteries

• Store Batteries in a cool, dry place but never below freezing - Recharge in storage a minimum of every 30 days

• Recharge Batteries before putting them back into service

MAINTENANCE

DAILY MAINTENANCE:

1. Remove the clean Brushes. Never use soiled Brushes when cleaning. Replace Brushes when they become worn.

2. Press Filter Shaker Switch for 20 seconds to clean out

Filter. Inspect fi lter.

3. Pull out Hopper to empty and clean before machine storage.

4. Wipe down machine if needed. Use a non-abrasive, non-solvent cleaner or a clean damp cloth.

5. Recharge the Batteries if needed.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE:

1. Check Battery water level in each cell of the Batteries and fi ll as needed. Always use distilled water to refi ll

Batteries. Batteries should be fi lled approximately

3 ⁄

4

'' to 1'' above the plates. Overfi lling will cause the

Batteries to leak during charging. The charging process creates gas bubbles inside the Battery, which effectively increases the volume of the electrolyte.

2. Clean Battery tops to prevent corrosion.

4. Pull out Hopper to empty and clean before machine

WATER LEVEL SHOULD BE

1/8'' ABOVE PLATES

YEARLY MAINTENANCE:

Call your local dealer for yearly maintenance.

STORING MACHINE:

1. Be sure to clean the Hopper out completely.

CHECKING BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY:

WARNING

Before you service a Battery, always wear face protection, protective gloves and protective clothing. Battery acid or battery explosion can cause serious injuries.

Use a hydrometer to check the Battery specifi c gravity.

Checking Gravity:

• Hydrometer

• Battery

NOTICE

Do not take readings immediately after adding distilled water. If water and acid are not thoroughly mixed, the reading may not be accurate.
