Battery Packages
The Wrangler 2016 is a 24-volt system and is available
with two battery packages.
• Four (4) 6-volt, 235 Amp Hour Batteries – NSS-PCS.
• Two (2) 12-volt, 130 Amp Hour Batteries - SPE.
Solution and Recovery Tanks
• The recovery tank is emptied through a large rubber
hose at the front of the machine. Remove the plug
and drain the liquids according to your local and
federal regulations.
• Every time you empty the recovery tank, we
recommend that you add at least 4 to 6 ounces [120
to 175 mL] of defoamer chemical into the recovery
tank before resuming work. Vacuum the defoamer
into the empty recovery tank through the squeegee
vacuum hose.
• At the end of the day empty all liquids from both
solution and recovery tanks. Rinse both tanks with
clean water to prevent chemical residue build-up,
allow to air dry to prevent odors.
• Remove any residue from screen and float ball to
ensure proper operation. Replace float assembly in
recovery tank.
• Check clear lid for airtight seal.
• Check the drain hose for damage.
• Inspect and clean the vacuum filter located under the
top metal plate. Every 50 hours.
Pad driver or brush
• Remove either pad driver or brush from the machine
after use.
• Rinse with clean water to prevent chemical residue
build-up.
• Allow to air dry on a peg or upside down on a shelf or
rack.
• Inspect for wear or damage. Repair or replace as
needed.
Squeegee Assembly
• Remove squeegee assembly from machine.
• Rinse with clean water to prevent chemical residue
build-up. ***NOTE: prolonged exposure to some wax
stripper brands may degrade the squeegee material.
Rinsing after use in a wax floor stripping application is
highly recommended.
• Allow to air dry, it can be stored on top of the machine
for drying.
• Inspect the squeegee assembly, linkage, and vacuum
hose, for wear, damage or obstruction. Repair or
replace as needed.
• Check for debris from squeegee hose at entrance to
recovery tank.
Weekly Maintenance (20 hours)
• Verify all daily maintenance has been performed.
• Check battery terminals and cable connections.
Tighten as needed. Loose connections are
dangerous and can cause personal injury and
machine damage.
• Clean any corrosion from battery terminals and
cables.
• Drain all liquids from battery compartment. Dispose
of according to local and federal regulations.
• Check solution flow to pad driver and / or brush.
Remove, inspect and clean solution filter assembly.
• Flush solution tank and hoses with a mixture of 8oz
[250 mL] white vinegar to 1 gal [4 L] water.
• Repair or replace any worn or damaged components
as needed.
• Inspect and clean float screen and small vacuum filter
above float.
****CAUTION****
Inspect and replenish battery water in every cell in
every battery weekly. Failure to maintain proper
electrolyte level in every cell of every battery will cause
premature battery failure, and void the warranty.
Monthly Maintenance (100 Hours)
• Equalize your batteries (Flooded only). To equalize
the 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.
• Verify all daily and weekly maintenance has been
performed.
• Lube the caster and swivel bearings. Spray with
Silicone Lubricant.
• Inspect all mechanical linkages, pivot points and ball
joints for freedom of movement. Use a penetrating
spray lubricant that is water resistant. Do not use
WD-40 lubricant.
• Inspect all fasteners (bolts, screws, nuts) at
mechanical linkages, pivot points and ball joints for
tightness. Tighten as needed.
• Clean polyethylene body components to remove
chemical and liquid residue and maintain a "like new"
appearance.
Mandatory Periodic Maintenance
It is mandatory that the following maintenance procedure
be performed at the described interval. Failure to perform
this procedure may result in poor machine performance,
component damage and failure. This procedure should be
performed by an NSS authorized distributor or service
center. Repairs not performed by an unauthorized
company will void the machine warranty. If you require
assistance finding an authorized service center, contact
NSS Enterprises.
After every 450-500 hours of operation you must inspect
vacuum motor carbon brushes for wear. Replace the
vacuum motor carbon brushes when they are 7/16 in. [11
mm] in length.
After every 650-700 hours of operation you must inspect
the drive motor (transaxle) carbon brushes for wear.
Replace the drive motor (transaxle) carbon brushes when
they are 3/8 in. [9 mm] in length.
After every 650-700 hours of operation you must inspect
the brush motor carbon brushes for wear. Replace the
brush motor carbon brushes when they are 1/2 in. [13 mm]
in length.
