Transporting the Machine
Observe the following guidelines when preparing the machine for shipping:
• Drain both the recovery and solution tanks. If the tanks are left full or partially full, the sloshing solution
may make the load unstable.
• If transport will occur below freezing temperatures, place a small amount of non-toxic antifreeze in
the recovery tank, solution tank, and solution lines. After transport, make sure to dispose of the used
antifreeze in an environmentally friendly manner according to local regulations.
• Close and secure all covers, panels, and doors.
• Disconnect the main battery connector.
• If the loading, unloading, or transport operations may damage the squeegee or the scrub deck, remove
them before moving the machine.
• Secure the machine to the transport vehicle using the three tie-down locations shown below (1-front (A)
and 2-rear (B)).

Moving a Disabled Machine
Moving a disabled machine requires manually
deactivating the traction motor EM brake. To disable
the brake, lift the release lever (A) away from the
wheel.
To hold the lever in the disengaged position while
moving the machine, you may place an object or tool
between the release lever and the motor housing.
For longer travel, or if transporting across a bumpy
surface, you may want to place an M6 or 1/4-20
screw (C) through the hole in the lever (B), with a
tensioning nut (D) on the back of the lever, and the
screw lightly pressing on the motor housing.
