INSTALL THE BATTERIES

WARNING!

Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin

or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited by

any electrical arc, spark or ﬂ ame. Do not install any lead-acid battery in a sealed container or enclosure. Hydrogen gas from

overcharging must be allowed to escape.

When Servicing Batteries...

* Remove all jewelry

* Do not smoke

* Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron

* Work in a well-ventilated area

* Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time

* ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable ﬁ rst when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.

* ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.

CAUTION!

Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly. Batteries

should be installed by Nilﬁ sk or by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

1 Remove the batteries from their shipping crate and carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If damage is evident, contact the carrier that delivered

them or the battery manufacturer to ﬁ le a damage claim.

2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) OFF and remove the key.

3 Remove the recovery tank from the machine. NOTE: Disconnect the tether and the vacuum motor wiring and lift the tank straight up and off the machine.

4 Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install six 6 volt batteries. Using at least (2) people and an appropriate lifting strap,

carefully lift the batteries into the battery compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in FIGURE 1. Secure the batteries as close to the front of the

machine as possible. If installing a mono-block battery use an overhead hoist.

5 Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.

6 Carefully tighten the nut in each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn. Do not over-tighten the terminals, or they will be very difﬁ cult to remove for

future service.

DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION AND USE (ECOFLEX MODELS ONLY)

COMMON INSTRUCTIONS:

Pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch (J) while the solution system is active will cause the detergent system to alternately turn on and off. The system

should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. SERVICE NOTE: Move machine over ﬂ oor drain before purging because a small

amount of detergent will be dispensed in the process.

To Purge When Changing Chemicals:

1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge.

2 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON. Press and hold the Solution Switch (F) and the Detergent Switch (J) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge

process takes 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.

To Purge Weekly:

1 Disconnect and remove the detergent cartridge. Install and connect a Cartridge ﬁ lled with clean water.

2 Turn the Key Switch (A) ON. Press and hold Solution Switch (F) and the Detergent Switch (J) down for 3 seconds. NOTE: Once activated the purge

process takes 10 seconds. See illustration on next page for Detergent System indicators. Normally one purge cycle is adequate to purge the system.

Detergent Percentage:

1 The detergent percentage default is 0.25%. To change the percentage, the detergent system must be OFF, then press and hold the Detergent ON/OFF

Switch (J) for 2 seconds. The detergent indicator will ﬂ ash and each press of the switch will cycle through the available percentages (3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%,

0.8%, 0.66%, 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3%., 0.25%). Once the desired percentage is displayed on the screen (K9), stop and it will lock in after 5 seconds.

CARTRIDGE INSTRUCTIONS:

The Detergent Cartridge (29) is located behind the Side Access Panel (27). Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 2.2 gallons (8.32 Liters) of detergent.

SERVICE NOTE: Remove the detergent cartridge from the detergent box prior to ﬁ lling to avoid spilling detergent on the machine.

It is recommended that a separate cartridge be used for each detergent you plan to use. The detergent cartridges have a white decal on them so you can write the

detergent name on each cartridge to avoid mixing them up. The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent. When

installing a new cartridge, remove the Cap (AA) and place the cartridge in the detergent box. Install the Dry Break Cap (BB) and detergent hose as shown.

OPERATING THE MACHINE

WARNING!

Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.

While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills. Clean only while

ascending (driving up) the ramp.

To Scrub...

Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual.

1 See Figure 8. While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (23) and (5).

2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights. Reference the Battery Condition Indicator (K5) and Hour Meter (K3) before proceeding.

3 Release the Parking Brake (6). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal (8) to go forward or the rear of the

pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.

4 Press the Solution Switch (F) and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the ﬂ oor. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring of the ﬂ oor surface when starting to scrub with dry brushes. This

must be done prior to pressing the Scrub ON Switch (D).

5 Press the Scrub ON Switch (D) once for Regular Scrub, twice for Heavy Scrub or three times for Extreme Scrub mode. Both the solution ﬂ ow and detergent (EcoFlex models)

ﬂ ow have 3 presets that coincide with the 3 scrub modes (see Control Panel).

NOTE: There is a solution ﬂ ow rate override function if you wish to increase solution ﬂ ow without increasing scrub pressure. Hold the Solution Switch (F) for 3 seconds (solution

indicator will start ﬂ ashing) and then let go. You then have 3 seconds to set a different ﬂ ow rate by simply pressing the Solution Switch (F) repeatedly until the Solution Flow

Indicator (K1) shows the rate you desire (1-5 / see Control Panel). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution ﬂ ow rate to default.

NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum, detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON Switch (D) is

pressed. Any individual system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.

6 When the Scrub ON Switch (D) is selected, the brushes, squeegee and side brooms (cylindrical models) are automatically lowered to the ﬂ oor. The scrub, solution, vacuum,

detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems all start when the Drive Pedal (8) is activated.

NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.

7 Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Adjust the machine speed and

solution ﬂ ow when necessary according to the condition of the ﬂ oor.

NOTE: The maximum scrub speed can be increased by pressing the Scrub Speed Switch (L). The normal max scrub speed is 80% of transport speed. Pressing this switch

increases it to 100% of transport speed.

If scrubbing on a smooth ﬂ oor surface or double-scrubbing turning on the Traction Control™ button (B) regulates the drive wheel torque providing increased control and

enhanced traction on the ﬂ oor.

The side broom height can be adjusted. See the “Side Broom Maintenance” section of this manual.

CAUTION!

To avoid damaging the ﬂ oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.

8 When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine, you may be dispensing too

much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.

9 The machine defaults to the EcoFlex cleaning mode (EcoFlex Switch Indicator is lit) conserving solution and detergent. Press the EcoFlex Switch (G) to override the EcoFlex

cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution ﬂ ow and the detergent percentage. This will cause the indicator to ﬂ ash for one minute, solution ﬂ ow rate will

increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent percentage will increase to the next larger percentage.

10 For extremely dirty ﬂ oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “double-scrub” operation may be required. This operation is the same as a one-pass

scrubbing except on the ﬁ rst pass the squeegee is in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (I) to raise the squeegee). This allows the cleaning solution to remain on

the ﬂ oor to work longer. The ﬁ nal pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.

11 The recovery tank has a shut-off ﬂ oat (15) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this ﬂ oat is activated, the recovery

tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the ﬂ oat activated.

NOTE: All other indicators vanish and a “Recovery Tank FULL” Indicator (K7) appears on the Display Panel when the ﬂ oat is activated. If the control repeatedly gives a full

indication when the tank is not full, the automatic shut-off feature can be disabled, have a qualiﬁ ed service technician refer to the service manual to perform this function.

12 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the Scrub OFF Switch (E) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes and solution ﬂ ow and

the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay (this is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without

turning the vacuum back on).

13 Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (19) from its rear storage area, then remove the

plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled ﬂ ow of waste water). Reﬁ ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.

NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (1) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (19) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.

When the batteries require recharging the Battery LOW Indicator (K8) will come on, the scrub brushes and solution ﬂ ow will stop and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will

raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay. Transport the machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the Battery

section of this manual.

WET VACUUMING

Steps to follow in ﬁ tting the machine with optional attachments for wet vacuuming.

1 Disconnect the recovery hose from the squeegee (17). Connect the coupler and hose from the wand kit to the recovery hose.

2 Attach suitable wet pick-up tools to the hose. (An optional Wand Kit PN56413687 is available from Nilﬁ sk).

3 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON and press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (I). The vacuum motor and the pump will run continuously until the switch is pressed again to turn it

OFF. NOTE: The “Recovery Tank FULL” indicator is disabled when the wand mode is activated. The ﬂ oat will stop the ﬂ ow into the recovery tank.

SERVICE NOTE: Refer to the service manual for detailed functional descriptions of all controls and optional programmability.

blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.

5 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.

To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...

1 Raise the squeegee tool off the ﬂ oor, then loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts (CC) on top of the squeegee and remove the squeegee tool from the mount.

2 Remove both rear Tension Straps ﬁ rst.

3 Remove all the wing nuts that hold the front blade in place, then remove tension strap and blade.

4 The squeegee blade has 4 working edges as shown below. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the front of the machine. Replace the

blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.

5 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

There are two squeegee tool adjustments possible, angle and height.

Adjusting the Squeegee Angle

Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the ﬂ oor dry.

1 Park the machine on a ﬂ at, even surface.

2 Lower the squeegee, move the machine ahead slightly and adjust the squeegee tilt and height using the Squeegee Tilt Adjust Knob (22) and Squeegee

Height Adjust Knobs (28) so that the rear squeegee blade touches the ﬂ oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown in the squeegee

cross section.

SIDE SKIRT MAINTENANCE

The side skirt’s function is to channel the waste water to the squeegee, helping contain the water within the machines cleaning path. During normal use the blades

will wear in time. The operator will notice a small amount of water leaking out underneath the side skirts. A height adjustment can easily be made to lower the

blades so that all the water can be pick-up by the squeegee.

To reverse or replace the scrub system side skirt(s) ...

1 See Figure 12. Loosen the (2) side skirt Retainer Knobs (AA) (2 per side) and remove the Skirt Assemblies (BB) from the scrub deck. NOTE: Remove the

skirts by ﬁ rst sliding them forward and then pulling them off.

2 Remove all the hardware that holds the blades to the skirt housings. NOTE: The main blade on each skirt housing is held on with Tool-less Retainers. Simply

loosen the large Wing nuts (CC) and then turn the Knobs (DD) on the outside of the skirt housing until they are horizontal and push through the slots. The

small inside Blade (EE) on disk models is held on by (2) screws and nuts and has 2 working edges.

3 The main skirt blade has 4 working edges as shown. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the center of the machine. Replace the

blades as a set if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn beyond their ability to be adjusted.

4 Reinstall the skirt housing assemblies onto the machine and adjust the blade for proper contact to the ﬂ oor when the brush deck is placed in the scrub

position.

SIDE SKIRT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1 The side skirt housing knob retainer screw studs have leveling Adjuster Collars (FF) that can be raised or lowered to compensate for blade wear.

2 To adjust, remove the Skirt Assemblies (BB) from the scrub deck to access the Adjuster Collars (FF). Adjustment Tip: The skirts Retainer Knobs (AA) can be

loosened with skirts left on and the Adjuster Collars (FF) rotated by reaching under the skirt housing.

3 Turn the Adjuster Collars (FF) (Up or Down) to where the blades just fold over enough when scrubbing that all the waste water is contained inside the skirting.

NOTE: Make small adjustments to obtain good blade wiping. Do not lower the blades too much to where they fold over excessively and cause unneeded

blade wear.
