Machine Maintenance - NSS CHAMP 2929 RB Mode D'emploi

 Place a container filled with the desired cleaning
chemical into the bottle holder located at the front of the
machine.
oThe bottle holder accepts F-style rectangular containers,
and some smaller round containers.
oEmpty F-style containers are available from NSS, order
part #9590171.
 Ensure all hose fittings are tight, then insert the suction
tube into the chemical bottle, and tighten the cap.
 Turn on the Scrubber then press the ON button on the
Sidekick. The ON indicator will illuminate.
 Press and hold the PURGE button on the Sidekick until
you see the supply line to the pump filled with the
chemical.
 Select the desired dilution ratio as recommended by the
chemical manufacturer.
 The Sidekick is ready for use.
To Change Chemicals
 Loosen the cap on the chemical bottle, and remove the
suction line from the chemical bottle.
 Dispose or store any remaining chemical according to
local and federal regulations.
 Place the suction line into a container of clean water.
 With the machine over a floor drain, press and hold the
purge button until the clean water is drawn thru the pump
and dispensed at the brushes.
 Remove the suction line from the container of clean
water. Replace the container of clean water with a
container of the desired chemical, and install the suction
line.
 Press and hold the Purge button until chemical is seen
being drawn up to the pump, and pumping down the tube
from the pump to the tee fitting below the machine.
 After each use, always flush the Sidekick lines with
clean water to prevent dried chemical from accumulating
in the lines.

MACHINE MAINTENANCE

Daily Maintenance

You must recharge the batteries when indicated by the
battery meter, and after every use. Read the battery
meter while the machine is in use.
*350 AH batteries normally require 14 ½ -16
fully charge.
 NEVER let the batteries sit overnight after the machine
has been run for more than 1 hr since last recharge.

See Battery Charger section.
Battery Electrolyte (Liquid) Level (Flooded only)

Add only distilled water to the cell of a battery
to adjust the liquid level. Do not use well or tap water.
Before charging, add only enough water to ensure the top of
the plates are covered. After charging, add only enough
water to bring the level to the bottom of the fill tube.

Do not overfill the battery liquid level, this will cause
electrolyte (acid) spill. Spilled electrolyte (acid) can cause
machine damage and personal injury. Clean up and dispose
of all spills immediately.

If machine is equipped with battery Auto-Fill system, fill
batteries prior to charging.

Empty and rinse clean the recovery tank.

Remove and rinse clean the squeegee assembly.
prolonged exposure to some wax stripper brands may
degrade the squeegee material. Rinsing after use in a
wax floor stripping application is highly recommended.

Remove and rinse clean the pad driver and / or brush.

Inspect the machine components for wear or damage. Call
authorized service center for repairs.

Wipe machine down; NEVER spray this machine with water
or any liquids.

Inspect the squeeze tube in the Sidekick Chemical
Metering System for cracks or leaks.
Sidekick Chemical Metering System
 Purge the lines with clean water after each use.
 The squeeze tube under the see-through cover on top of
the pump requires periodic replacement approximately
every 500 hrs (depending on chemicals used).
 To replace the squeeze tube:
1.Remove ferrule nuts from pump
2.Unscrew pump cover, exposing the squeeze tube.
3.Remove damaged squeeze tube and replace with new
squeeze tube.
4.A screwdriver can be inserted in the spinner hub and
rotated as the tube is being replaced to ease insertion.
It is important not to twist the tube as it is being
inserted and the fittings should be inserted "flat side
up"
Add grease from the included packet.
5.
Re-install cover and resume normal operation
6.
Weekly Maintenance (Every 20 Hours)

Verify that all daily maintenance has been performed.

Inspect the battery liquid level; using only distilled water,
adjust to the proper level as needed.

NOTE: If optional auto fill system is installed, follow the
directions that come with this system.

Check all battery terminal and cable connections. Tighten
as deemed necessary.

Clean any corrosion from the battery terminals and cables.

Check the solution flow to the pad driver and / or brush.
Flush clean the solution tank and hose with a mixture of 8
oz. (250ml.) of white vinegar to 1 gallon (4 liter) of warm
water.

Inspect filters.
Inspect and replenish battery water in every cell in every
1 / hours to
battery weekly. Failure to maintain proper electrolyte level in
2
every cell of every battery will cause premature failure, and
void the warranty.
Monthly Maintenance (Every 100 Hours)

Verify that all daily and weekly maintenance has been
performed.
(Flooded only)

Equalize your batteries
batteries, after they have been fully charged, unplug the
charger (from the wall outlet), and plug it back in. The
charger will skip thru the first few phases of the charge cycle,
and run thru the finish phase. This will balance out all the
cells in the batteries, and provide maximum battery life.
THIS STEP IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU
PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY CHARGING (see page 9).

Clean filters by rinsing with cool, clear water. Dry
Completely.
After every 750 Hours of Operation:

Inspect the drive motor carbon brushes for wear. Replace
***NOTE:
the brushes when they are 3/8 in. (9mm.) in length.
(Flooded only)
****CAUTION****
(Flooded only) . To equalize the
