Daily Use; Operating The Machine - NSS WRANGLER 2016 AE Instructions D'origine

Daily Use

Follow these steps to prepare the machine for daily
operation.
Prepare the solution tank:
 Never use water over 140°F (60°C) degrees.
Excessively hot water may damage components such
as the tanks.
 Pour all liquids through the mesh filter at the front of
the solution tank.
 Put 1 to 2 gallons [3.8 to 7.6 L] of clean water into the
solution tank first to help dilute the chemicals and
prevent excess sudsing. Dilute the cleaning
chemicals according to the manufacturer's
s
instruction .
 Add the cleaning chemicals to the solution tank and
fill with water as needed.
Prepare the recovery tank:
 Always use a defoamer to protect the vacuum motor
of this machine. Every time you empty the recovery
tank, we recommend that you add at least 4 to 6
ounces [118 to 177mL] of defoamer chemical into the
empty recovery tank before resuming work. Vacuum
the defoamer into the recovery tank through the
squeegee vacuum hose.
 Make sure the drain plug of the recovery tank hose is
closed tightly.
To install a brush or pad driver and pad:
 There are a wide range of pads or brushes available
for the many cleaning applications of this machine.
Consult your local NSS distributor for application
recommendations.
 Turn the pad drivers upside down on the floor and
remove the pad holding cup.
 Remove the center cutout of the pad. Place the pad
on the face of the pad driver.
 The pad must be centered on the driver to prevent
wobbling or bouncing.
 Install and secure the pad holding cup to the pad
driver. Turn the pad driver over so that the pad faces
the floor.
 Raise the brush motor into the transport position.
 Align the notches on the pad driver or brush with the
lugs on the drive casting and rotate to lock or unlock.
Install the squeegee assembly:
 Place the squeegee lift handle in the storage (up)
position.
 The squeegee assembly mounts to a metal bracket at
the rear center of the machine, using two (2)
mounting knobs. Loosen the mounting knobs and
slide the squeegee assembly onto the mounting plate.
 The squeegee assembly has two (2) small wheels to
prevent "rollover" while in reverse. The roller wheels
must face the operator. Hand tighten the mounting
knobs. Do not use pliers to tighten knobs, as this will
defeat the "breakaway" design.
 Do not add any weights or other pressure to the
squeegee mechanism. This will not improve the
performance and will shorten the life of the blades.
 It is recommended that, with new blades, the rear
wheels be adjusted to their lowest position.
Loosen the two screws on the bracket rotate the
bracket downward as far as it will go, then tighten
the screws. Perform this adjustment on both
wheels/brackets.
 When the squeegee becomes worn, and the wiping
edge no longer contacts the floor properly, further
use may be possible by adjusting the rear wheels
upward enough to restore proper engagement of
the blades wiping edge with the floor. Be sure to
adjust the wheels back down fully when a new
blade is installed.

Operating the Machine

The Wrangler 2016 has the brush motor offset to the
right side of the machine. This offset allows you to
clean the edge of a floor or an obstructed area (walls
or shelving) with the right side of the machine.
Normal Cleaning:
 Sweep and dust mop the floor to remove dirt and
debris before scrubbing. Accumulations of dirt or
debris on the floor will reduce cleaning
performance.
 You may also need to pre-clean some types of
spills or stains before scrubbing.
 Plan your work so that you make long, straight
paths with the fewest amount of turns possible,
overlapping each cleaning path about 2 in. (5 cm.)
to prevent streaking and dirty areas.
 Move machine to area to be cleaned.
 Place "Wet Floor" warning signs in area.
 Turn on master switch.
 Turn on vacuum motor switch.
 Lower the brush motor and squeegee assembly
into the operating position on the floor.
 AB Models - The brush motor is turned on and off
with the brush switch on the control panel.
 DB Models - The brush motor will automatically
turn on when moving either forward or backwards.
 Lift solution valve handle to start liquid flow to floor.
Adjust amount of flow as needed. Close the
solution valve completely 10 ft (3 m) before you
turn at the end of your cleaning path. This will
reduce the amount of liquid on the floor when you
make your turn.
 Reopen the solution valve when starting the next
pass. Repeat this procedure for each pass.
 NOTE: Solution will not flow until brush turns on.
 Watch the level of liquid in the recovery tank and
listen for the float shut-off to change the sound of
the vacuum motor. When the vacuum airflow
stops, you must turn off the vacuum motor and
empty the recovery tank.
