Introduction & Machine Specifications Introduction & Machine Specifications Clarke Technology’s newly designed Vision 21i & Vision V automatic scrubbers are efficient and superior floor cleaning machines. The Vision 21i uses two brushes or pads to scrub a path 21 inches wide. The Vision V uses two brushes or pads to scrub a path 26 inches wide. A squeegee wipes the floor while the vacuum motor removes the dirty solution from the floor - all in one pass.
PROCEDURES FOR TRANSPORTING How To Put The Machine In A Van Or Truck WARNING: The machine is heavy. Make sure you use two able persons to assit the machine in climbing the ramp. 1. Make sure the loading ramp is at least eight (8) feet long, and strong enough to support the machine. 2. Make sure the ramp is clean and dry. 3. Put the ramp in position. 4. Remove squeegee assembly, brush housings, & brushes or pad drivers before loading. 5. Turn key switch "ON". 6.

MACHINE CONTROLS & FEATURES Squeegee Lift Handle. See Figure #4a & #4b. The squeegee lift handle is located below the control handles on the right side. It is used to raise or lower the squeegee. The vac motor is turned on when the handle is lowered. Figure #4a Float Shut Off. See Figure #5. The shut-off switch for the vac motor is located in the recovery tank. It automatically turns off the vac motor when the recovery tank is full. Parking Brake. See Figure #6a & #6b. Figure #4b.
HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION How To Install The Batteries The Vision 21i and Vision V machines use four 6-volt or two 12-volt batteries. The batteries are located in the battery compartment under the recovery tank. To Install the batteries, follow this procedure: 1. Set the parking brake. Figure #7a 2. Make sure both tanks are empty. All 6 Volt Poly Case Batteries 3. Disconnect the hoses from the recovery tank (upper tank) & unplug the vac motor. Remove the recovery tank. 4.
HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION Battery Maintenance The electrical power to operate the machine comes from the storage batteries. Storage batteries need preventive maintenance. WARNING:Working with batteries can be dangerous. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries. NO SMOKING! To maintain the batteries in good condition, follow these instructions: 1. Keep the electrolyte at the correct level.
HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION How To Charge The Batteries WARNING: Charging the batteries in an area without adequate ventilation could result in an explosion. To prevent an explosion, charge the batteries only in an area with good ventilation. WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate gases which could explode. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries.
HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION How To Install The Brushes Or Pad Drivers To install the brushes or pad drivers on the machine, follow this procedure: 1. Engage the parking brake. 2. Turn the key switch "ON". 3. Put the brush switch in the "UP" position. 4. Turn the key switch "OFF". 5. Go to the front of the machine. 6. Pull out the brush housing pin and remove the right and left brush housings. Figure # 13 7. Put a brush or pad driver under the brush motor plate. See figure #13. 8.
HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE How To Operate the Squeegee The squeegee wipes the floor while the vacuum motor removes the dirty solution from the floor. Use your right hand to lower or raise the squeegee handle. To operate the squeegee, follow this procedure: 1. To lower the squeegee and start the vac motor move the squeegee lever to the right and down. See figure #14a. 2. To raise the squeegee, lift the squeegee lever up. See figure #14b.
HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE (cont.) WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning materials used with this type of machine can leave wet areas on the floor surface.

MAINTENANCE WARNING: Maintenance and repairs must be done by authorized personnel only. WARNING: Always empty the solution tank and recovery tank before doing any maintenance. WARNING: Keep all fasteners tight. These Maintenance Procedures Must Be Done Every Day Keep the machine clean, it will need fewer repairs and have longer life. Figure #19 Do These Procedures When You Begin Your Work Period NOTE: Always engage the parking brake before servicing the machine. 1.
MAINTENANCE Do These Procedures When You End Your Work NOTE: Always engage the parking brake before servicing the machine. 1. Drain the solution tank (Figure #22a) and the recovery tank (Figure #22b). To drain the tanks , follow this procedure: a. Turn the key switch “OFF”. b. Remove the drain hose from the back of the machine. Figure #22a c. Put the end of the hose over a drain or bucket. d. Turn the valve handle to the left. Pull the handle out to open the drain.
MAINTENANCE These Maintenance Procedures Must Be Done Every Week: WARNING: Maintenance and repairs must be done by authorized personnel only. Always empty the solution tank and the recovery tank before doing any maintenance. Keep all fasteners tight. WARNING: Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries. Do not put tools or other metal objects across the battery terminals or the tops of the batteries.
MAINTENANCE 7. Check the squeegee and the scrub brushes or the pad drivers for damage. 8. Check the squeegee and the vacuum hose for damage, leaks and obstructions. Maintenance For The Squeegee To remove the squeegee, follow this procedure: 1. Remove the squeegee assembly by loosening the two knobs that attach the squeegee to the machine. Pull the squeegee assembly off. See figure #25. Figure #25 2. Inspect the squeegee blade. 3.
MAINTENANCE Adjusting Squeegee Blades: When properly installed the front blade should be approximately .06 above the rear blade. See figure #28. Adjusting Squeegee Support Wheels: The support wheels should be set at .12 above the floor with the rear blade touching the floor. See figure #28. REAR BLADE .06 .12 Figure #28 WARNING: Maintenance and repairs must be done by authorized personnel only . WARNING: Electrical repairs must be done by authorized personnel only.
