User manual NILFISK CR 1000

[. . . ] This manual will help you get the most from your Nilfisk-Advance Sweeper / Scrubber. References to "right" and "left" in this manual mean right or left as seen from the driver's seat. Repairs, when required, should be performed by your Authorized Nilfisk-Advance Service Center, who employs factory trained service personnel, and maintains an inventory of Nilfisk-Advance original replacement parts and accessories. Call the NILFISK-ADVANCE INDUSTRIAL DEALER named below for repairs or service. [. . . ] NOTE For best results, discontinue application of solution 10 feet before stopping or making a 90° or 180° turn. FIGURE 29 HORN BUTTON The horn button (B) is located on the instrument panel as shown in figure 29. FIGURE 30 FOOT THROTTLE The foot throttle (A) is located to the right of the brake pedal on the floor of the operator's compartment as shown in figure 30. When driving down an inclined surface, reduce foot pedal pressure rather than releasing the foot throttle. This will provide a controlled stop and prevent the drive wheel from locking. Do not turn the steering wheel sharply when the machine is in motion. SCRUBBING THE AVERAGE FLOOR WITH LIGHT TO MEDIUM SOILAGE In this operation, cleaning is accomplished in one pass, with simultaneous solution feed, scrubbing and dirty water pick up. The rate of solution feed and the speed of travel required will vary with floor condition. There it is fed to the floor where three disc scrubbing brushes (B) work to dislodge soil. After scrubbing, the dirty solution is vacuumed from the floor by the squeegee (C) and discharged into the containment chamber in the forward portion of the recovery tank (D), where a system of baffles helps to clarify the solution. Sensors in each tank will indicate, by lights on the control panel, when the water in the solution tank is too low or when the water in the recovery tank is too high. FIGURE 40 ESP OPERATING MODE During the scrubbing process, filtered water from the solution tank (A) is fed to the solution line, where it combines with detergent. This mixture is then fed to the floor where two or three disc scrubbing brushes (B) work to dislodge soil. After scrubbing, the dirty solution is vacuumed from the floor by the squeegee (C) and discharged into the recovery tank (D). At intervals, a float switch activates the recycling pump (E), which sends filtered solution from the recovery tank to the solution tank. When the machine is in motion, do not push the directional/speed control pedal all the way forward. This is the same as starting in "high" and will put a strain on the motor and drive system. Sweep debris from narrow aisles (A) out into main aisle (B) ahead of time. The machine is very responsive to movement of the steering wheel; so avoid sudden turns. When placing the machine in motion, avoid slamming the drive pedal all the way forward suddenly. This is equivalent to starting out in "HIGH" and puts needless strain on the drive system. Periodically, turn the sweeping broom end for end to prevent the bristles from "settling" in one direction. [. . . ] CLEANING THE DUST CONTROL FILTER Clean the dust control filter when the shaker fails to adequately clear the filter. To clean the filter with compressed air, apply the compressed air to the top side of the panel to back flush the lodged dirt from the filter pleats. If this cleaning method is used do not use the filter until it has completely dried. Park the machine on a smooth level surface, turn the key switch to the "O" position and engage the parking brake.
