OPERATIONOPERATING FaST SCRUB SYSTEM (OPTION)How the FaST System operates (Foam ScrubbingTechnology). The FaST--PAK concentrate agent isinjected into the system with a mixture of a smallamount water and compressed air. This mixture createsa large volume of expanded wet foam. The expandedfoam mixture is then dispersed onto the floor while twoscrubbing disks go to work. By the time the squeegeepicks up the mixture, the patented foaming agent hascollapsed and recovered into the recovery tank. Byperforming the FaST system application, you canincrease your productivity rate by 30% by reducing yourdump/fill cycle. You will also reduce your chemical usageand storage space. One FaST--PAK of concentratedagent allows you to scrub up to 90,000m2(1,000,000 ft2).WHILE OPERATING MACHINEFOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slow oninclines and slippery surfaces.WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard.

Make sure that the FaST--PAK MP Hard FloorConcentrate carton is properly installed(See INSTALLING FaST--PAK AGENT).2. Make sure that the solution tank is filled with clearcool water only. DO NOT add conventionalcleaning agents in solution tank. Conventionalcleaning agents/restorers in the solution tank willresult in premature FaST system failure.3. Press the FaST Scrub/Conventional Scrub Switchtoward the FaST Scrub mode position (Figure 20).NOTE: To scrub with clear water only, simply pressthe FaST Scrub/Conventional Scrub Switch toward theConventional Scrub mode position. This allows you tooperate the machine in a rinsing application.FIG. 212. Periodically observe recovery tank for excessivefoam. If excessive foam appears, pour arecommended foam control solution into recoverytank.ATTENTION: Do not allow foam or water to enterfloat shut--off screen, vacuum motor damage willresult. Foam will not activate float shut--offscreen.3. Always operate at a slower speed when scrubbingaround walls or obstacles.4. Always reduce speed to maintain control whenturning machine.5. If squeegee leaves streaks, raise and wipe bladeswith a cloth. Pre-sweep area to prevent streaking.6. Overlap each pass by 2 in / 51 mm.FIG. 204. Make sure that the main solution switch is in theON position.NOTE: The water flow rate from the solution tank isautomatically regulated by the operation of the FaSTsystem. The solution flow rate can not be adjusted bythe Solution Control Adjustment Knob during the FaSTScrub mode.5. Follow the standard MACHINE OPERATIONinstructions to begin scrubbing.7. Change or turn over pads when worn.8. Stay clear of floor obstructions, such as electricalplates or grates, they will destroy pads.9.
