SCRUBBING SYSTEM (OPTION) PARKING BRAKE LEVER The parking brake is controlled with a lever located behind the operator’s left side drive wheel. The FaST
(Foam Scrubbing Technology) system operates by injecting the FaST
PAK concentrate agent into the system with a small amount of water and compressed air. This mixture creates a large volume of expanded wet foam. The expanded foam mixture is then dispersed onto the floor while the machine is scrubbing. When the squeegee picks up the mixture, the patented foaming agent has collapsed and is recovered into the recovery tank. The FaST
system can increase productivity by 30% by reducing your dump/fill cycle. It will reduce chemical usage and storage space. One FaST
PAK of concentrated agent can scrub up to 1 million sq. ft. Set: Fold the lever inward. Release: Fold the lever outward. NOTE: The ESt and FaSTt options can not be equipped on the same machine. 14 5300 (02–03) Home Find... Go To.. OPERATION EN  FaST

CLEANING THE MACHINE Clean machine with an all purpose cleaner and damp cloth. EN to enter the batteries. Use a wire brush to clean the terminal posts and the cable connectors. After cleaning, apply a coating of clear battery post protectant to the terminals and the cable connectors. Keep the tops of the batteries clean and dry. Keep all metallic objects off the top of the batteries, which may cause a short circuit. Replace any worn or damaged wires. Never add acid to the batteries, only distilled water. Always keep the battery caps on, except when adding water or taking hydrometer readings. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell before and after charging, and after every 50 hours of operation. Do not charge the batteries unless the electrolyte level is slightly above the the battery plates. If needed, add just enough distilled water to the cover the plates. Never add acid to the batteries. Do not overfill. Always keep the battery caps on, except when adding water or taking hydrometer readings. Measuring the specific gravity using a hydrometer is a way to determine the charge level, and condition of the batteries. If one or more of the battery cells test lower than the other battery cells (0.050 or more), the cell is damaged, shorted, or is about to fail. ATTENTION: Do not power spray or hose off machine. Electrical component damage may occur. If water enters components, the components must be dry before the machine is put into operation. BATTERY MAINTENANCE The batteries are unique in that they hold their power for long periods of time. The lifetime of the batteries is limited by the number of charges the batteries receive. To get the most life from the batteries, maintain the proper level of electrolyte and only recharge when discharged more than 15% of battery capacity. Periodically clean the top surface of the batteries and the terminals, and check for loose connections. Use a strong solution of baking soda and water. Brush the solution sparingly over the battery tops, terminals, and cable clamps. Do not allow any baking soda solution NOTE: Do not take readings immediately after adding distilled water. If the water and acid are not thoroughly mixed, the readings may not be accurate.
