PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR USE

BATTERIES

If your machine shipped with batteries installed do the following:

  • Check that the batteries are connected to the machine.
  • Turn ON the Power Switch (H) and check the Battery Indicator (C3). If the gauge is completely filled the batteries are ready for use. If the gauge is less than full the batteries should be charged before use. See "Charging The Batteries" section.

- IMPORTANT!: IF YOUR MACHINE HAS AN ONBOARD BATTERY CHARGER REFER TO THE OEM PRODUCT MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SETTING THE CHARGER FOR BATTERY TYPE.

If your machine shipped without batteries installed do the following:

  • Consult your Authorized Advance dealer for recommended batteries.
    • Install the batteries by following the instructions below.
  • IMPORTANT!: IF YOUR MACHINE HAS AN ONBOARD BATTERY CHARGER REFER TO THE OEM PRODUCT MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SETTING THE CHARGER FOR BATTERY TYPE.

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 flame. 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 first when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
  • ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.

BATTERIES - CONTINUED

CAUTION!

Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly. Batteries should be installed by Nilfisk or by a qualified 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 file a damage claim.
2 Turn the Power Switch (H) OFF and remove the Magnetic SmartKey (39).
3 Rotate the Battery Compartment Latch (20) to unlock then tip the seat forward (the gas spring holds the seat open).
4 If installed remove the overhead guard.
5 For additional access the recovery tank can be removed from the machine. NOTE: Disconnect the recovery hose, vacuum motor wiring and warning beacon wiring then lift the tank straight up and off the machine, using two people or an overhead hoist.
6 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 2-1. Secure the batteries as close to the rear and right side of the machine as possible. Use battery spacer to keep batteries from moving. If installing a mono-block battery use an overhead hoist.
7 Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.

IMPORTANT!: The protective caps supplied with the batteries need to be left on or re-used to completely cover the portion of the battery terminals that are not being protected by the battery cable terminal cover boots supplied with the battery cables. This also applies to the in-line fuse holder boot.

8 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 difficult to remove for future service.

9 Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).

10 Put one of the black rubber boots over each of the terminals and connect the Machine Battery Connector (19).

11 Make sure the fuse holder boot is covering the fuse holder, the cable end of the Machine Battery Connector (19), and as much of the battery terminal as possible. Leave the protective caps supplied with the batteries in place or re-use to cover the terminal areas not protected by the terminal cover boots.

When changing batteries or the charger, please contact your local authorized service center for correct battery, charger and machine settings to prevent battery damage.

DETERGENT SYSTEM PREPARATION (ECOFLEX MODELS ONLY)

FILL THE DETERGENT CARTRIDGE

CAUTION!

Always follow the instructions on the labels of the detergent cartridge when using floor cleaning detergents. Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when handling floor cleaning detergents.

In the event of a detergent spill follow these four steps:

  • Communicate the hazard. Immediately notify others working in the area and any supervisory personnel of the hazard, and if the situation warrants it, evacuate the area.
  • Control the spill. Ensure the spill does not become any worse.
  • Contain the hazard.
  • Clean up the spill and any damage safely.

The Detergent Cartridge (8) is located beneath the seat. Fill the detergent cartridge with a maximum of 1 gallon (4 Liters) of detergent.

SERVICE NOTE: Remove the detergent cartridge from the machine prior to filling 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 for clarification. When installing a new cartridge, remove the Factory Cap (AA) and place the cartridge in the machine. Install the Dry Break Cap (BB) and detergent hose as shown in Figure 2-7.

The system should be purged of previous detergent when switching to a different detergent (see "To Purge When Changing Detergent").

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.

To Scrub...

Follow the instructions in "Starting the Machine" section and drive the machine to the start point for cleaning.

1 See Figure 3-1. Press the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch (M) once for Regular Scrub. Press the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (M+) once for Heavy Scrub or twice for Extreme Scrub mode. The solution flow has settings that coincide with the scrub pressure, it will increase and decrease along with the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The solution flow rate can also be increased or decreased independently of the scrub pressure by pressing the Solution Flow Increase Switch (F+) or Solution Flow Decrease Switch (F-), observe the Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph (C10). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution flow rate to default.
2 When the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch (M) is selected, the brushes and squeegee are automatically lowered to the floor. The scrub, solution, vacuum and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are all automatically enabled and will start when the Drive Pedal (3) is activated. Any individual system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.
NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.
Detergent: See "Detergent System Preparation and Use (EcoFlex) for detailed information regarding adjustment and use.
3 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 flow when necessary according to the condition of the floor. Push the Timed Solution Off Paddle (O) before entering a turn to temporarily turn off the solution flow. The Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph (C10) will be replaced by a 5 second countdown timer showing how long the solution flow will be off. Push paddle again before timer runs out to cancel solution off.
NOTE: While scrubbing the maximum machine speed can be set by pressing the Speed Limiter Switch (L). Adjust the machine to the desired speed using the Drive Pedal (3) then press the Speed Limiter Switch (N). The operator can now press the pedal all the way forward without increasing the machine speed thereby reducing operator fatigue. The machine Speed (C5) is shown on the display. The speed limit will be in effect every time you scrub until the speed limiter switch is pressed again (while scrubbing) to disable the speed limit.

ADVANCE SC5000 34D - To Scrub... - 1

CAUTION!

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

4 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.
5 For extremely dirty floors, 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 first pass the squeegee (33) and scrub deck blades (AA) are in the up position see Side Blade - Double Scrub Position. Press the Vacuum Switch (G) to raise the squeegee.
This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the floor to work longer. The final pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee and side blades lowered to pick up the accumulated solution
6 The recovery tank has a Shutoff Float (25). When the tank is full the float is activated and closes the inlet so no more water can enter the recovery tank. When the float is activated the operator may notice a change in the sound of the vacuum motor or will notice machine is no longer picking up water. When the shutoff float is activated, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water with the float activated but no machine functions will turn off.
7 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the One-Touch Scrub Switch (M) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes and solution flow and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after an additional delay (this is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on). When scrub is turned off the speed limit is also turned off and machine speed will go back to normal operation.
8 Drive the machine to a designated waste water "DISPOSAL SITE" and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (28) from its storage area. Hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank then unscrew the cap. Squeeze the hose as shown until the hose is near the drain to avoid sudden uncontrolled flow of waste water. Screw on the cap and push the recovery tank drain hose back into its storage area. Refill the solution tank and continue scrubbing.

NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (24) and the cap on the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (28) are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.

If the batteries become discharged to the low voltage cutout threshold the Battery Low Voltage Indicator (C14) will come on, the scrub brushes and solution flow will stop and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after an additional delay. Transport the machine to a service area. Recharge the batteries according to the instructions in "Charging Wet Batteries" or "Charging Gel/AGM (VRLA) Batteries" sections of this manual.

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 floor, then loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts (31) on top of the squeegee and remove the squeegee tool from the mount (AG).
2 Loosen the Front Squeegee Blade Removal Thumb Nut (AC), then remove Tension Strap (AD) and Front Blade (AK).
3 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.
4 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt/angle.

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

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

Adjust the squeegee tilt whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry.

1 Park the machine on a flat, even surface.
2 Lower the squeegee, move the machine ahead slightly and adjust the squeegee tilt and height using the Squeegee Tilt Adjust Knob (30) and Squeegee Caster Lock Knobs (32) so that the rear squeegee blade touches the floor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown in the squeegee cross section.
3 Squeegee height is pre-set at the factory but may require periodic adjustment due to caster wear. Proper squeegee height is achieved when the rear squeegee blade touches the floor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly with the caster wheel just touching the floor.

a. Loosen Caster Lock Knobs (32).
b. Thread Casters (AE) up or down as required to achieve proper height and ensure blade position is uniform left to right.
c. Tighten Caster Stops (AF) against squeegee mount (AG).
d. Tighten Squeegee Caster Lock Knobs (32) against squeegee mount to lock adjustment.
4 The Tilt Adjust Knob (30) is used to adjust the tool tilt/angle for uniform contact from center to tips of blade.

a. Loosen Tilt Stop Knob (AH).
b. Turn Tilt Adjust Knob as required to adjust.
c. Tighten Tilt Stop Knob (AH) against the squeegee mount to lock adjustment.

The side blades' 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 blades. A height adjustment can easily be made to lower the blades so that all the water can be picked up by the squeegee.

DISC - To reverse or replace the scrub system side blades ...

1 See Figure 4-6. Loosen the two Side Blade Assembly Removal Knobs (16) (2 per side) and pull the Side Blade Assembly (AA) slightly forward and then off the scrub deck.
2 Loosen the two Thumb Nuts (AL) then rotate the two Retainers (AB) to be horizontal and separate the blade from the retainer strap.
3 The main side 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 edges are nicked, torn or worn beyond their ability to be adjusted.
4 Reinstall the blade onto the blade assembly and secure with Retainers (AB) by rotating back to the vertical position and tighten Thumb Nuts (AL). Adjust the blade height for proper contact to the floor when the brush deck is placed in the scrub position. See "Side Blade Height Adjustment" section.

CYLINDRICAL - To reverse or replace the scrub system side blades ...

1 See Figure 4-7. Unlatch the retaining strap (AD) and remove the strap and blade.
2 The main side blade has 4 working edges as shown. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the center of the machine. Swap the right and left side blades to use the remaining two edges. Replace the blades as a set if all edges are nicked, torn or worn beyond their ability to be adjusted.
3 Reinstall the blade onto the blade assembly and secure by latching the retainer strap (AD). Adjust the blade for proper contact to the floor when the brush deck is placed in the scrub position. See "Side Blade Height Adjustment" section.

SIDE BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

DISC -

1 See Figure 4-6. The side blade assembly knob removal screw studs have leveling Adjuster Collars (AC), that are to be raised or lowered to compensate for blade wear.
2 Make sure the machine is on a level surface.
3 Lower the scrub deck by pressing the One-Touch Scrub Switch (M) and drive the machine forward a short distance to ensure the blades fold over.
4 Observe blade fold over.
5 The side blade Removal Knobs (16) can be loosened with assembly left on and the Adjuster Collars (AC) rotated by reaching under the blade assembly.
6 Turn the Adjuster Collars (AC) (Up or Down) to where the blades just fold over enough when scrubbing that all the waste water is contained inside the scrub deck.
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.

CYLINDRICAL -

1 See Figure 4-7. Each side blade assembly has a Down Stop (AE), that can be raised or lowered to compensate for blade wear.
2 Make sure the machine is on a level surface.
3 Lower the scrub deck by pressing the One-Touch Scrub Switch (M) and drive the machine forward a short distance to ensure the blades fold over.
4 Observe blade fold over.
5 Loosen the Down Stop (AE) and adjust (Up or Down) to where the blades just fold over enough when scrubbing that all waste is contained inside the scrub deck.
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.
