Procedures For Transporting How to Put the Machine Into a Van or Truck WARNING: This machine is heavy. Get assistance before attempting to transport or move it. Use two able persons to move the machine on a ramp or incline. Always move slowly. Do not turn the machine on a ramp. Do not stop and leave the machine on a ramp or incline. The loading ramp must be a minimum of 32" wide. WARNING: Machines can topple over if guided over the edges of stairs or loading docks and cause injury or damage.
Procedures For Transporting (cont.) 11. Fasten the machine to the vehicle. Clarke recommends a strap over the top of the machine and a strap to keep the machine from rolling forward or backwards. If this is not done, there is a possibility of the machine toppling over. Three tie down points are provided on the steel frame of the machine, for securing machine (see figure 2a). How to Remove the Machine From a Van or Truck 1. Make sure there are no obstructions in the area. 2.

Machine Control Panel Electrical Power Indicator (See Figure 3, Item "A") A yellow light will be illuminated when the charger is plugged into an AC electrical outlet. The electrical cord must be unplugged and stowed before operating the machine. Reverse Switch (See Figure 3, Item "H") On Traverse "L" Models Only - The reverse switch, when used in conjunction with one of the forward/reverse switches, causes the machine to reverse directions. The reverse speed is 70% of the forward speed.
Machine Control Panel Circuit Breakers (Figure 3, Items "L", "M", "N", "O", "P" & "Q" The circuit breaker reset buttons are located on the lower control handle.
How To Prepare the Machine For Operation The Encore 17 machines use two 12-volt batteries. The batteries are located in the battery compartment under the recovery tank. It is recommended to remove the recovery tank when installing the batteries. How To Install The Batteries To install the batteries, follow this procedure: 1. Turn the machine off. Set brake (if equipped). 2. Make sure the recovery tank is empty. NOTE: The recovery tank on the Encore 17 is designed for easy removal and cleaning. Figure 7 3.
How To Prepare the Machine For Operation Place the batteries in the compartment shown in Figure 11. WARNING: WARNING: - + The batteries are heavy. Lifting batteries without help could result in an injury. Get help to lift the batteries. Working with batteries can be dangerous. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries. NO SMOKING! FRONT 9. + - Figure 11 10.
How To Prepare the Machine For Operation Battery Maintenance The electrical power to operate the machine comes from the storage batteries. Storage batteries need preventative maintenance. Correct Level To maintain the batteries in good condition, follow these instructions. 1. Keep the electrolyte at the correct level. The correct level is between 1/4" (1/2 cm) below the bottom of the tube in each cell and above the tops of the plates. Check the level of the electrolyte each time you charge the batteries.
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. NO SMOKING! To charge the batteries, follow this procedure: Figure 16 1. Place the machine on a flat-level surface with adequate ventilation. 2.
How To Prepare the Machine For Operation • Absorption Stage - In the absorption stage the red and green light will be illuminated on the charger (See Figure 17). During this stage the charger maintains constant voltage and lets the batteries absorb the charge at their own rate. • Float and Maintenance Stage - In the maintenance stage the red light turns off and only the green light will be illuminated on the charger (See Figure 17.
How To Prepare the Machine For Operation How To Remove Rotary Brush or Pad Driver (if equipped) To remove the brush or pad driver from the machine, follow this procedure: 1. Turn the key switch clockwise ("L" models only). Press the green "ON" button. 2. Raise the brush head by pressing and holding the brush up switch until brush head is in it's full up and rotated position. 3. Press the red "OFF" button or turn the key switch counterclockwise on machines equipped with key.
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 hand to lower or raise the squeegee handle. To operate the squeegee, follow this procedure: 1. To lower the squeegee and start the vacuum motor, move the squeegee lever to the right and down (See figure 25). 2. To raise the squeegee, lift the squeegee lever up (See figure 26.
How To Operate The Machine 5. When either the left or right forward/reverse switches (figure 28, item A) are pushed in, the machine will go forward ("L" models only). 6. Control the speed of traverse by using the traverse speed control knob ("L" models only) (figure 28, Item C). B C A A 7. To stop, release the forward/reverse switch. 8.
How To Operate The Machine To pre-wet brushes you should first turn the speed knob to the lowest traverse setting on the "L" model. Then on both the "S" and "L" models, lower brushes until brushes are just touching the floor and the yellow light on the control panel in illuminated. Activate the forward/reverse switch to start motor and solution flow. NOTE: On the "L" model, the machine will not move when the traverse speed knob is rotated fully counterclockwise. 7.
Maintenance 5. Make sure the valve on the recovery drain hose is clean. Tightly close the valve. 6. Make sure the brush/pad is in position and installed correctly. 7. Make sure brush housing and skirts are in position on the brush head. 8. Check the installation of the squeegee and squeegee hose. 9. Make sure the solution drain / level indicator hose is secure on the storage mount on the rear of the machine. Figure 31 Do These Procedures When You End Your Work 1.
Maintenance 7. On machines with cylindrical brush head, the debris tray needs to be emptied regularly to prevent overflow. To remove the debris tray from the machine follow this procedure (See Figure 35). a. Go to the left side of the machine, to the rear of the cylindrical brush head. b. Grab the end of the tray with the left hand and the center of the tray with the right hand. c. Lift center of tray with right hand and slide tray out with left hand. d. Empty tray and clean before sliding tray back in.
Maintenance NOTE: Always turn machine off before servicing machine. WARNING: Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries. NO SMOKING! WARNING: Before raising or removing the recovery tank, be sure tank is empty. Do not operate or perform maintenance on the machine while the recovery tank is in the open position. The tank can be accidentally bumped and it may slam shut. A B Figure 36 1. Disconnect the batteries.
Maintenance 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 37). 2. Inspect the squeegee blade. Figure 37 3. If the blade is worn, turn the blade so that a new edge is in the wiping position. 4. Reinstall squeegee assembly on the machine.
