The system operates independently of the key-operated on-off switch. To stop the system, place the ESt switch in the bottom position E MM178 (9-96)

23 OPERTION MIN RUSH SWITCH The main brush switch controls main brush position and rotation. To lower and start the main brush turning, or to increase brush pressure, press and hold the switch in the bottom (Main rush Down and On) position until the brush is at the desired position. Watch the brush pressure gauge -- release the main brush switch before the gauge needle enters the red zone. Travel speed and floor conditions will affect the gauge reading. To raise and stop the main brush, or to reduce brush pressure, press and hold the switch in the top (Main rush Up) position until the brush is in the desired position. RUSH PRESSURE GUGE The brush pressure gauge indicates how hard the brush drive motors are working. Under normal conditions, the gauge needle should be in the white zone. Under harsh conditions, the gauge needle will be in the red zone indicating excessive brush pressure. Operation in the red zone will cause the brush circuit breaker to trip. Travel speed and floor conditions will affect the gauge reading. RUSH PRESSURE RUSH PRESSURE GUGE. White Normal Zone. Red Excessive Zone SQUEEGEE SWITCH The squeegee switch, in conjunction with a directional sensing device, controls the vacuum fan and the position of the rear squeegee To raise the rear squeegee and stop the vacuum fan, place the switch in the top (Squeegee Up) position. To lower the rear squeegee and start the vacuum fan, place the switch in the bottom (Squeegee Down) position. When the directional control pedal is slightly in reverse, or when traveling backward, the directional sensing device overrides the squeegee switch and raises the rear squeegee and stops the vacuum fan. This prevents the rear squeegee from being damaged when traveling backward. HOUR METER The hour meter records the number of hours the machine has operated. This information is useful in determining when to service the machine. SIDE RUSH SWITCH The side brush switch, on machines below serial number , is present on machines with the side brush accessory. It controls side brush position and rotation. To lower and start the side brush turning, or to increase brush pressure, push the switch backward into the down position. The brush is fully lowered when you hear a ratcheting noise. To raise and stop the side brush, push the switch forward into the up position. SIDE RUSH SWITCH The side brush switch, on machines serial number and above, controls the side brush position and operation. To lower, extend, and start the side brush, place the switch in the bottom (Side rush Down and On) position. To retract, raise, and stop the side brush, press and hold the side brush switch in the top (Side rush Retract) position until the side brush is fully retracted. Then release the side brush switch into the middle (Side rush Up) position. STEERING WHEEL The steering wheel controls the front drive wheel. The machine is very responsive to the movement of the steering wheel. The operator should use care until he or she becomes experienced in guiding the machine. For machines below serial number , a horn button is located in the center of the steering wheel. For machines serial number and above, the horn is located on the left panel of the operators compartment. 530E MM178 (9-96) 2-9

24 OPERTION RECOVERY TNK FULL LMP The recovery tank full lamp lights when the recovery tank is full. The vacuum fan also stops when the lamp lights. OPERTIONL LIGHTS SWITCH The operational lights switch operates the headlights, taillights and the revolving light if so equipped. To operate the lights, place the switch in the top position. To turn the lights off, place the switch in the bottom position. TTERY CONDITION GUGE The battery condition gauge indicates the present state of charge of the batteries. The display should be on the F mark of the gauge when the batteries are fully charged. s the batteries discharge, the display will move near the E mark and start to blink. The batteries should be recharged when the display gets to the 1/4 mark. When the machine is left overnight with less than a full charge or the battery connectors have been disconnected and reconnected, the display may indicate a full charge. It is reading the surface charge level -- not the true charge level. fter running the machine a few minutes, the gauge will give the correct charge level. NOTE: Do not charge the batteries more often than is necessary. This will prolong the life of the batteries. Do not allow the batteries to become fully discharged as this will also damage the batteries. See TTERIES in the MINTENNCE section. F 1_ 2 E 000 TTERY INDICTOR TTERY CONDITION GUGE KEY-OPERTED ON-OFF SWITCH The key-operated on-off switch controls all machine power. To allow the machine to operate, turn the key clockwise. To turn off the machine, turn the key counter-clockwise. CIRCUIT REKERS ND FUSES Circuit breakers are resetable circuit protection devices designed to stop the flow of current in the event of a circuit overload. Once tripped, circuit breakers must be manually reset. If the overload which caused the circuit breaker to trip is still present in the circuit, the circuit breaker will continue to stop current flow until the overload is corrected. Fuses are a one-time circuit protection device designed to stop the flow of current in the event of a circuit overload. Never substitute higher value fuses than those specified in this manual. Most of the circuit breakers are located on the bottom of the instrument panel. Circuit breakers for the main brush, side brush and cooling motors are located on the back of the speed controller panel. These breakers do not give an indication that they have tripped. They must cool before resetting. They are also hard to reset -- use the palm of your hand. The propelling motor fuse is located in the speed controller box. The cooling fan motor fuse is located next to the fan. The following chart shows the various circuit breakers and fuses, and the electrical components they protect.
