1.3 Operational Precautions
The X Ride 28 is a battery-operated
carpeted floor cleaning system that
utilizes a water / cleaning solution
that is applied to the floor and then
vacuumed back into the machine by
way of an integrated vacuum shoes
for later disposal.
Liquid residue remaining on the
floor during operation can rep-
resent a slip and fall hazard to
the operator and others in the
vicinity of machine use. When
working with the machine, op-
erators should use firm and
skid-proof shoes. Areas where
floor cleaning will occur should
be appropriately marked with
suitable slip and fall hazard
signs / markers / pop-up
cones.
• It is indispensable for the operator or
user of the machine to become thor-
oughly acquainted with attached im-
plements and controls - as well as
their various functions - before oper-
ation commences.
• Before commencing operation of the
machine, check for obvious signs of
loose parts, potential conditions in-
dicative of malfunctions, etc. Any
signs of potential problems must be
remedied before actual operation
commences.
The electrical system in the
machine is not designed to
suppress sparks. Accordingly,
use of the X Ride 28 where fire
or explosion hazards may exist

pors, flammable liquids, com-
bustible dust, or ignitable fibers
or flyings, must be avoided.
The machine can cause an ex-
plosion when operated near
such areas.
Use caution when operating
the machine on a ramp or in-
cline. Do not turn the machine
on an incline, as it may be-
come unstable and flip over.
Do not leave the machine unat-
tended on a ramp or incline, as
