General Information
Service Manual Purpose and Application

This Service Manual is a resource for professional service technicians. It provides information for understanding how the
machine operates, where components are located, basic troubleshooting, maintenance and mechanical service opera-
tions.
Pictures in this manual are of “prototype” machines. If a picture is slightly different than the machine you are working
on, it is likely that an improvement was introduced.
This manual covers the Nilfisk SC800 models as well as Advance SC750, SC800, SC750 ST and SC800 ST models. Each ma-
chine has as specific model number (part number) which can be found on its nameplate. The cover page of the manual
lists each machine part number that the manual applies to. Compare the model number of the machine you are working
on to the model numbers listed on the cover page to be sure you are using the correct manual.
This manual often distinguishes between “ST” models and “Non-ST” models Model names that end in “ST” (SC 750 ST,
SC800 ST) use palm drive switches on the drive handle and have toggle switches on the control panel. Models that do
not end in “ST” (SC 750, SC 800) use a drive paddle and have solely membrane style switches on the control panel.

General Machine Description

The “SC” (SC750, SC800, SC75 ST and SC800 ST) machines are battery powered walk behind floor scrubbers designed to
clean flat, hard surfaces. They are powered by a 24 volt battery pack. They have one controller that operates the scrub
and vacuum functions and another that operates the drive system. They can be equipped with either a “Disc” scrub deck
or a “Cylindrical” scrub deck.
Nameplate
The nameplate contains important identification information which will be needed when ordering parts: Model (Name),
Part No. (Part number of the machine which is often referred to as the “Model Number”), and Serial Number.

Control Panel – SC750 ST and SC800 ST (Toggle Switch Control Panel)
These machines use a control panel with 3 large toggle switches and do not have an LCD display. See the following sec-
tions for switch identification and Indicator Light explanations.
Switch Identification
• Key Switch (Main Power) - Turns “ON” the power to the control panel. “O” is “OFF” and “I” is “ON”.
• Solution Switch (Low, Medium & High) – Pressing the switch forward turns on or increases the flow of cleaning
solution to the floor. Pressing the switch backward turns off or decreases the flow of cleaning solution to the
floor.(Note: Solution will not flow until the machine begins to move.)
• Vacuum/Wand Switch – Pressing the switch forward turns on the vacuum motor. Pressing the switch backward
turns the vacuum motor off.
• Scrub Switch
o Cylindrical Models – Pressing the switch forward lowers the scrub deck and enables all scrub functions.
Pressing the switch backward disables all scrub functions and raises the scrub deck.
o Disc Models – When first pressed forward all scrub functions are enabled. If in the normal scrub pres-
sure mode already, pressing the switch forward will extend the deck actuator to the “extreme” scrub
pressure mode which also increases the solution flow. When operating in the extreme scrub pressure
mode, pressing the switch backward will retract the deck actuator to the normal scrub mode which also
decreases the solution flow. When operating in the normal scrub pressure mode, pressing the switch
backward disables all scrub functions and raises the scrub deck.

Chassis System
Functional Description
The chassis is made up of heavy gauge steel and supports the drive transaxle, caster wheel, brush deck, squeegee assem-
bly and machine body.

Control system
There are two controllers on the machine, a Main Machine Controller and a Drive Motor Controller.
The Main Machine Controller operates the floor cleaning functions of scrub, solution and vacuum based on operator
requests and other inputs. It is located directly behind the operator control panel. It is capable of storing and display-
ing many fault codes. In addition to fault codes, it supports special modes of operation called “Programming Mode” and
“Service Test Mode”. The programming mode is used primarily for “telling” the controller how the machine is equipped
so that it can operate accordingly. The service test mode is a powerful and convenient diagnostic feature that allows a
technician to request specific outputs to operate regardless of current inputs.
The Drive Motor Controller (Speed Controller) operates the drive motor that propels the machine based on operator
requests. (See the section on Wheel System, Traction for more information)

• Electrical Panel Cover
• Circuit Breaker Mounting Plate
• Control Switch Interface Panel
• Main Machine Controller

Troubleshooting
Fault Codes
SC750 and SC800 models - Any error codes detected by the Main Machine Controller will be displayed on the LCD display
as they occur.
SC750 ST and SC800 ST models – Active faults are displayed as a blink code on the fault code indicator light. The code will
be a two digit code. The first digit will flash out followed by a short pause. Then the second digit will flash out followed
by a long pause. (On, short pause, On, On, long pause is a code 1,2)
If multiple codes are present, the codes will appear in order until all have been displayed. Then the sequence will repeat
again.
Fault Code Table
For SC750 and SC800 models, refer to the column “LCD Display Code”. For SC750 ST and SC800 ST models, refer to the
“ST Blink Code” column.

Charger

Service Test Mode
Some outputs (like the scrub brush motors) are only turned on when other conditions are met, such as when the ma-
chine is moving. It can be difficult to check for voltage to the scrub brush motors while the machine is moving. Also, if
voltage is not present, it leaves in question what other conditions may not have been met yet. The Service Test Mode
solves these problems for the technician. In Service Test Mode the technician can request that the Main Machine Con-
troller ignore all other conditions and directly turn on the scrub brush motors as well as other outputs. Service Test
mode can also be used to verify that certain inputs are seen by the controller. The concept is the same for all models
but the procedure is very different depending on whether you are working on an” ST” model (control panel with rocker
switches – SC750 ST and SC800 ST) or a “non-ST” model (control panel with membrane switches – SC750 and SC800).
See appropriate sections below.
Service Test Mode –SC750 ST and SC800 ST Models (Control Panel with rocker switches)
To enter the service test mode: (Start with the battery charger unplugged and the key off)
1. Hold all three switches (Vacuum, Scrub and Solution) in the up (forward) position while turning the key on.
2. Wait approximately 3 seconds until all of the LEDs light up and then turn off. The low solution flow indicator light
should remain on to confirm that you are in the service test mode.
Now that you are in service test mode, you can request that the controller operate the various outputs and verify certain
inputs via the indicator light operation. If a fault occurs the Fault LED will display the fault.
To exit the service test mode: Turn the Key Switch off.
Output Tests
Brush Deck Lift Actuator – Press the Scrub Switch forward to move the actuator downward to the next position. Watch
for the actuator to move. Press the Scrub Switch backward to move the actuator up one position. The Scrub Indicator
LEDs indicate the current actuator position. Neither LED is ON when deck is raised, lower LED is ON when deck is at
low scrub pressure, both are on for high pressure. Machines with disc scrub decks have three positions while cylindrical
decks have only two. Note: If the switch inputs are not reporting correct information, the controller will not understand
the current actuator position and will not attempt to move the actuator.
Solution Solenoid – Press the Solution Switch forward to cycle the solution solenoid on and off. The high solution flow
indicator will be on while in the test mode. Listen for the Solenoid to click on and off. Press the Solution Switch forward
again to stop cycling the solenoid.
Brush Motor Contactor – Press the Solution Switch backward to energize the brush motor contactor. The medium
solution flow indicator will be ON when energizing the contactor. Listen for the contactor to click and look to see if the
brushes are rotating. Press the Solution Switch backward again to de-energize the contactor.
Vacuum Motor Relay – Press the Vacuum Switch forward to energize the Vacuum Motor Relay. The Vacuum Indicator
will be ON when energizing the relay. The vacuum motor should come ON. Press the Vacuum Switch backward to de-
energize the relay.

Input Tests
Speed Control Forward/Reverse Signal –The yellow Battery LED turns on when in the service test mode whenever the
speed controller tells the Main Machine Controller that it is attempting to drive the machine either forward or reverse.
This is useful when diagnosing a no drive problem. If the light comes on when you attempt to drive the machine forward,
it means that the Drive Controller has seen the request and responded to it.

Electrical System
General
The electrical system is powered by four 6 volt batteries for a total of 24 volts. Heavy cables connect the batteries in
series. A large red Main Battery Pack Connector provides battery power to the machine wiring. On machines without
an on-board battery charger, the Main Battery Pack Connector is used for hooking up the batteries to a “shelf” battery
charger unit. To prevent damage to the batteries due to excessive discharging, the control system will turn off the scrub
system and the recovery system as the battery voltage drops too low.
A steel plate at the back of the solution tank serves as an “electrical panel” and provides a mounting surface for the vari-
ous relays, fuses and the Drive Motor Controller. Circuit breakers and a main fuse protect various circuits from excessive
current. The machine wiring is color coded and the ends of each wire have the wire identification printed on them (such
as “J1-4 X1-1”). The wiring identification information can be used to more easily trace wiring in the machine because it is
also shown on the wiring harness configuration diagram.

On-board Battery Charger
An optional on-board battery charger is available. Early machines used an S.P.E. charger and later machines use a Delta-
Q IC650 battery charger. Some early machines may have been updated to replace the S.P.E. charger with the Delta-Q
charger.
Delta-Q Charger S.P.E. Charger
When equipped, the charger is mounted on the bottom of the machine. Both chargers have an internal relay that inter-
rupts a power supply when the charger is plugged into an AC power outlet. This is called the “Interlock” circuit on the
wiring diagram. It prevents the machine from being operated while the batteries are charging. The interlock circult for
the S.P.E. charger is illustrated below. The Delta-Q interlock circuit is similar but it relies on the main battery positive con-
nection for the power source rather than a separate wire.
Here is how the battery charger interlock circuit works. The interlock relay contacts inside the charger are normally
closed, allowing the current to pass in and out of the charger to the Main Machine Controller and the Drive Motor Con-
troller. When the AC power cord is plugged in, the relay is energized and opens the relay contacts opening the circuit.

S.P.E Battery Charger Details

When the S.P.E battery charger is plugged in, “Non-ST” models will display text on the LCD screen describing the type of
battery charging profile in use. They will aslso communicate charging progress with an ICON on the LCD display. When
the S.P.E. battery charger is plugged in on ST models, charging progress is communicated using the Battery Indicator
LEDs. The charging profile in use is communicated using one of the other control panel LEDs.
ST Charging Profile in Use:
Wet 25A = Vacuum LED
AGM Discover 25A = Scrub High LED
Gel Excide 25A = Scrub Low LED
Gel-AGM 25A = Solution High LED
Wet 15A = Solution Medium LED
Gel-AGM 15A = Solution Low LED
The S.P.E. battery charger and Main Machine Controller communicate with one another on the WHT/BLU wire that runs
between them. (This same circuit is also used for the brush head actuator position 2 switch input) Each time the battery
charger is plugged in, the charger contacts the controller by sending out a positive voltage on the communication wire
to find out what kind of batteries are on the machine. It needs to know this in order to use the correct charging profile.
The controller responds and provides the battery type information it has stored in memory. The charger then tells the
controller which charging profile it will use and begins charging the batteries. See the Control System, Program Options
section for information on how to tell the controller what kind of batteries are used in the machine. If the charger is un-
able to communicate with the controller it will use the profile for a wet battery at a 25 Amp rate as a default.
Delta-Q IC650 Battery Charger Details

The Delta-Q battery charger does not communicate with the main machine controller. It is a “stand-alone” unit. Models
that have the Delta-Q charger have a separate LED on a bracket to communicate charging progress. By pressing a button
on the charger you can see what charging profile is in use. If you replace the batteries with a different type of battery or
replace the battery charger, you must select the correct charging profile to be compatible with the batteries. There are a
set of profiles stored inside the charger. You can interface directly with the charger to select the profile to be used from
that set. See the Delta-Q Product Manual (710-0138-Delta-Q.pdf) for complete instructions on selecting the profile. Use
the Battery Charging Profile Table below to choose the profile to match the batteries that are in the machine.

Troubleshooting
Insufficient Machine Operation Time
Possible Causes:
• Incorrect low-voltage cutout setting
• Batteries not fully charged.
o If there is any question whether the batteries are fully charged, they should be charged for at least 16
hours.
• One or more weak batteries
o To determine if one of the batteries is weak, measure the voltage across each individual battery while
operating the machine. Write down the values and compare them. A battery that has a dead cell will
typically be 1 – 2 volts lower than the others.
o Use a battery load tester to test each battery.
o For wet batteries, a hydrometer can be used to check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell. A
dead cell is one that reads 50 points or more lower than the other cells.
• Battery cable connections
The Battery Charger Does Not Charge
Possible Causes:
• Battery Charger
• Wiring/Connections
• Batteries
Note: The optional S.P.E. on-board battery charger will charge, even if it cannot communicate with the Main Machine
Controller.

Batteries
If the set of batteries has 50 or more cycles on them, do not put a new battery into the set. Either replace with all new
batteries or use a good used battery. Battery maintenance requirements change as they age. As they age they usually
require longer charging time and a higher finish rate. The newer battery mixed in with old batteries will end up being
overcharged, which will cause it to fail prematurely.
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact
the skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can
be ignited by any electrical arc, spark or flame. Do not install any lead-acid battery in a sealed container or enclosure.
Hydrogen gas from overcharging must be allowed to escape.
When servicing batteries
• Remove all jewelry
• Do not smoke
• Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
• Work in a well-ventilated area
• Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
• ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable first when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
• ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly.
Only Nilfisk-Advance, a qualified electrician, or the battery manufacturer should install batteries.

Specifications
Low Voltage Cut Out Threshold Voltages
The Main Machine Controller intentionally shuts down machine functions in two stages if the battery voltage drops too
low. This is called “Low Voltage Cut Out”. It is done to preserve the life of the batteries. The first stage of low voltage cut
out shuts off the scrub function by turning off the scrub brush motors and raising the brush deck. It also shuts off the so-
lution and detergent. The vacuum is still allowed to run in order to recover solution that is on the floor. The second stage
of low voltage cut out turns off the vacuum. Wet batteries and Gel batteries use different voltage thresholds.
Stage Threshold (volts) Shuts Down

Wet Batteries – 20.55 V Brushes, solution, detergent and
1 raises brush deck
Gel Batteries – 21.75 V
Wet Batteries – 20.40 V Vacuum
2
Gel Batteries – 21.60 V
Battery Run Time
Typical battery run times may be around 2-4 hours.

Options and Accessories
Battery Fill Indicator

The Battery Fill Indicator provides a quick visual indication of when one of the battery cells is low and needs water
added. It is installed in place of one of the battery fill caps. The wire lead goes to the battery negative terminal. When the
level is Okay, the green LED is lit.
Battery Watering Kit

The battery watering kit provides a convenient way to add water from a jug into all battery cells at once. Each battery has
a manifold that replaces the fill caps. The manifolds are connected with rubber hoses to one another and to a fill port.
A separate filler tool is connected to the fill port on one end and the other end goes into a container of distilled water.
Squeezing and releasing the bulb pumps the water into all of the batteries simultaneously. As each battery cell becomes
full, a shut off valve closes in its battery cap. Once all of the valves are closed, the pump bulb will feel hard since it can no
longer pump water.

Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps track of the run time of the scrub motors.
On-board Battery Charger

An optional on-board battery charger is available. It attaches to the bottom of the machine. See the Electrical System
chapter for more information. Early models used an S.P.E. charger. Later models use a Delta-Q charger. Early models can
be retrofitted to use the Delta-Q charger.
Wiring for On-board Charger
When the S.P.E charger is installed, the machine wiring at the Key Switch must be modified for the “interlock” circuit to
function properly. See the Electrical System chapter for more information.
To modify the Key Switch Wiring: (See Instruction Sheet Form No. 56090019)
1. Move wire 022 (YEL/BRN) from Key Switch pin 1 to Key Switch pin 2.
2. Remove wire 017 (BRN) from the Key Switch and plug it into wire 010 (BRN) at connector X66.
3. Install wire 009 (WHT/BRN) on the Key Switch pin 1.

S.P.E Charger Only

Parking Brake
The optional parking brake kit has a manually operated lever that presses a plunger against a drive wheel to act as a
brake.
Laser
The laser provides a visual cue of the cleaning path width and provides an early warning that a machine is approaching.
TrackClean
TrackClean is an add on option that provides machine location and operation data to the machine owner. It may have
a magnetic key reader which will prevent machine operation unless a valid magnetic key is inserted. Several additional
electrical connections are made when the kit is installed to monitor machine operation in order to provide data. See wir-
ing and connection diagrams in the electrical system chapter.

Recovery System
The job of the recovery system is to remove the dirty water from the floor and store it in the recovery tank. The dirty
water is then disposed of. Dirt and water are lifted off the floor into the recovery tank by airflow created by a vacuum
motor. The wastewater and air enter the vacuum system at the squeegee tool, through notches in the front squeegee
blade. The air and wastewater move through the squeegee vacuum hose at high speed until it reaches the recovery
tank. The heavier water falls to the bottom of the recovery tank. The airflow continues through the vacuum fan inlet
port, vacuum motor and exhaust port. A debris tray inside the recovery tanks helps to redirect the water downward and
catches large particles. No wastewater ever actually moves through the vacuum motor, just the working air. A floating
ball in a cage seals off the vacuum port when the tank is full to protect the vacuum motor from water ingestion. When
the float ball seats, the amp draw of the motor is reduced and the Main Machine Controller shuts off the vacuum motor.
The squeegee is raised and lowered manually using the squeegee lift lever. Springs apply downward pressure on the
squeegee.
Here is how the vacuum motor circuit works. The relay winding is fed battery voltage on terminal 85. The other side of
the relay coil (terminal 86) is connected to a switch inside the controller. To energize the relay, the controller closes the
switch which completes the path to B-. The relay contact terminal 30 is connected to B+. When the relay is energized, the
contacts close connecting 30 to 87 which sends battery voltage to the vacuum motor. Since the other side of the motor is
connected to battery negative, the motor turns on. The Main Machine Controller also monitors the current draw of the
vacuum motor via a “vacuum motor sense” wire. The controller has an internal “voltmeter” that measures the voltage
difference (drop) between the sense wire and battery negative. A calibrated ground wire of a specific size and length is
used for the motor ground. At a given amperage flow, there is a correlating voltage drop. As the amperage increases the
voltage drop also increases. The controller translates the voltage drop measured into amperage.

The vacuum contactor (relay) is turned on when the following inputs are met:
• Operator request
o Scrub On/Off switch has been pressed or
o Vacuum/Wand switch has been pressed
• Machine Moving Signal is received from the Drive Motor Controller
The vacuum relay is de-energized when the operator turns off the scrub system following a timed delay.

Troubleshooting
Vacuum Motor Does Not Turn On (Scrub function works)
Possible Causes:
• Defective Vacuum Motor
• Defective Vacuum Motor Contactor (Relay) K1
• Defective Wiring
• Defective
Insufficient Water Pickup
Good water pick up performance depends on the proper amount of air flowing through the squeegee pickup tool. Air
entering the vacuum system before the pickup tool will reduce its ability to pick up water. Anything that restricts the
movement of air through the system will also reduce its ability to pick up water.
Possible Causes:
• Restricted air flow
o Clogged or kinked squeegee vacuum hose
o Clogged vacuum motor inlet or outlet port
• Damaged squeegees
• Air leaks
o Recovery tank lid gasket is not sealing
o Cracked squeegee vacuum hose
o Cracked recovery tank
• Vacuum motor is weak
Begin with a good visual inspection of the system. Check the condition of the squeegees and the recovery hose. Take the
recovery hose off and rinse it out. Check the recover tank cover gasket condition. Repair any problems found.
If no visual problems are found, test the system using a vacuum gauge PN 56205281 and open- hole adapter. (See the
Special Tools Section below. The adapter can be made from a piece of PVC pipe.)
1. Remove the vacuum hose from the squeegee tool.

2. Hold the vacuum gauge against the end of the hose and turn on the vacuum motor. Note the reading on the
gauge. If it is within 10% of specs, go to the next step. If it is too low, check for air leaks in the system.
3. Install a one inch open-hole adapter between the hose end and the vacuum gauge.
4. Turn the vacuum motor on and measure the vacuum. If it is within 10% of the specs, the vacuum system is work-
ing properly. If the reading is too low, check for a restriction in the system.

Vacuum Motor
1. Turn off key switch, drain recovery tank and lift recovery tank up.
2. Cut tie straps securing wiring and disconnect vacuum motor electrical connection.
3. Remove vacuum motor cover mounting screws and cover. Note: The vacuum motor cooling fan guard may come
off the end of the motor. Do not run the motor without the guard in place. Make sure that it is put back on dur-
ing reassembly.

4. Remove vacuum motor and foam pieces. Pay attention to how the foam pieces are positioned.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
a. Install the cooling fan guard if it is not in place.
b. Take care to position all the foam pieces correctly.
c. Make sure the ends of the vacuum motor are seated correctly. (If you have difficulty seating all of the
pieces, remove the recovery tank and place it upside down so that the vacuum motor goes in vertically.
This way you will not be fighting gravity.)
d. Route the vacuum motor wiring lead in the slot of vacuum motor cover and install foam cooling fan filter.

Scrub System – Cylindrical
The scrub system moves the scrub head up and down and turns the scrub motors on and off at the operator’s request, to
provide floor scrubbing action. The brushes spin toward one another at the bottom. The head is moved up and down by
an electric actuator motor that has integrated position switches. The weight of the scrub head provides the downward
pressure for scrubbing. The actuator linkage is slotted to allow the brush head to “float” when going over low and high
spots on the floor. A spring is used to lift just a bit of weight in order to obtain optimal scrub pressure weight. Note: The
cylindrical scrub system does not have an “extreme pressure” mode.
• The Main Machine Controller energizes the brush solenoid to turn on the brush motors when the following
inputs have been met:
o Key switch on
o Operator request
o Machine moving signal (FOR/REV)is received from the Drive Motor Controller (A2 PG Drives Speed Con-
troller)
 Approximately 24 volts received from the main controller (J3 Pin 6) is switched to battery nega-
tive by the Drive Motor Controller, dropping the voltage to 0 volts.
Here is how the circuit works for the scrub motors: The Main Machine Controller turns on the scrub motors indirectly
by energizing the Brush Contactor. The brush contactor coil is fed battery positive voltage through the key switch. The
voltage goes through the coil and on to the controller. Inside the controller, it switches the circuit to battery negative to
energize the relay. When the relay energizes, positive battery voltage is applied through its contacts to the brush motors.
Since the other side of the motors is connected to battery negative, they turn on.
The Main Machine Controller also monitors the amount of electrical current (Amps) that is flowing through the brush
motor ground circuit. If it is higher or lower than expected a fault code will be set. It monitors the amperage indirectly
on a “sense” wire by measuring the difference in voltage (Voltage Drop) between a point near the motors and the main
battery negative terminal. As actual current increases, the voltage drop measured increases. The controller then converts
the voltage value to “Amps”. The monitoring circuit relies on a calibrated ground wire that is a specific gauge and length.
An electric actuator is used to move the scrub head up and down. The actuator has a DC permanent magnet electric mo-
tor which is driven by the Main Machine Controller. The motor turns a threaded shaft. When the threaded shaft turns, it
moves a threaded rod up and down. Since the rod is attached to the deck, it moves the deck up and down.
Inside the actuator housing, there are also three position switches which are monitored by the Main Machine Controller.
One for the “retracted” position, one for the “middle” position (Normal scrub pressure) and one for the “Extended” posi-
tion (Extreme scrub pressure). Each switch is normally closed. The threaded rod has a collar on it that opens each switch
as it passes by it. When the Main Machine Controller sees the middle position switch open, it knows that the deck is in
the normal scrub position. If that was its goal position, the controller turns off the motor to stop the deck in that posi-
tion.

Here is how the circuit works for the actuator. The Main Machine Controller directly drives the brush head actuator mo-
tor. It applies system voltage across the two actuator motor wires to move the motor up. It reverses polarity to move the
motor down. Each position switch receives a 5 volt feed through a resistor from the controller which returns back to bat-
tery negative on a common wire to connector J2 pin 2. The controller has “internal voltmeters” which monitor the signal
voltage of each switch circuit. When the switch is closed, the voltage signal is approximately 0 volts. When the switch is
open, the voltage is approximately 5 volts.
1. Deck up - Retracted Position switch = 5v (Other two switches = 0v)
2. Normal Scrub mode - Middle Position switch = 5v (Other two switches = 0v)
3. Extreme Scrub mode is not used on Cylindrical Deck
Note: The actuator “extended” position switch circuit is unique because it is also used as a communication line between
the Main Machine Controller and the battery charger. The addition of the battery charger on the circuit drops the 5v that
is normally seen when the switch is open to approximately 3 volts. This is normal.
When the key is turned off, if the brush head is down, the Main Machine Controller will raise the brush head to the full
“up” position. When the operator requests the scrub mode, the controller drives the actuator down until it sees the
Middle Position switch open (5v). When the operator turns off the scrub function, the controller drives the actuator mo-
tor up until it sees the Retracted Position switch open again (5v). If more than one position switch is open (5v) at a time,
the controller does not know which one to believe. It realizes there must be a problem and will not move the actuator.

Troubleshooting
Scrub Motors Do Not Turn On
Possible Causes
• Brush Contactor
o Open or shorted winding
o Burned contacts
• Wiring
• Main Machine Controller – Not energizing the brush contactor.
• Drive Motor Controller – Not providing “machine moving signal”
Brush Head Will Not Raise or Lower
Possible Causes
• Mechanical binding for the actuator linkage
• Brush Head Actuator – Check both the motor and the position switches. Only one position switch should be open
at a time and it should open at the correct position.
o Actuator Motor
 Unplug the actuator connector and momentarily supply fused 24v power and ground to the
two motor terminals to see if the motor will operate. (Machine harness wire color Pink wire and
Gray wire). Reverse the polarity to drive it in both directions. If the motor will not drive in both
directions, replace the actuator. If it does drive in both directions, proceed to check the position
switches.
o Position Switches
 Access the Main Machine Controller and unplug the electrical connectors.
 Check the retracted position switch.
• Put the black ohmmeter lead on the Brown wire at the J2 connector pin 2.
• Put the red ohmmeter lead on the White wire at the J2 connector pin 3.

• Drive the actuator motor all the way up and down using jumper wires powered by bat-
tery positive and negative. Connect them to the two actuator motor wires at the Main
Machine Controller connector. (Pink wire at connector J1 pin 4 and Gray wire at connec-
tor J1 pin 5.) Change polarity to change direction. Immediately remove jumper wires at
the end of motor travel.
• Monitor the ohmmeter. It should show an open circuit (no continuity) only when the
actuator is in the retracted position. In all other positions it should show a closed circuit
(continuity).
 Check the middle position switch.
• Put the red ohmmeter lead on the Yellow wire at the J2 connector pin 11.
actuator is in the middle position. In all other positions it should show a closed circuit
(continuity).
 Check the extended position switch.
• Put the red ohmmeter lead on the Green wire at the J2 connector pin 12.

Brush Disc Remove Feature
The brush disc remove feature spins the brushes and then brings them to an abrupt stop to release the brushes from the
brush plate retaining springs. To accomplish this, a series of events takes place.
Step #1
First the Main Machine Controller checks to make sure that the scrub deck is fully raised, the charger is not plugged in
and that the machine is not moving. If all of this is true, the controller energizes the brush motor contactor to supply
battery positive through its normally open (Closed when energized) contacts to power up the brushes. The brush motor
contactor has a second set of contacts which are normally closed (Open when energized).
Step #2
While the brushes are running, the Main Machine Controller energizes the brush remove relay. This provides a battery
negative connection to one of the “open when energized” contacts. Since that side of the contactor is open at this time,
nothing changes but the system is “armed” and ready.

Step #3
Next the brush motor relay is de-energized. This removes the battery positive power source from the motor AND instead
connects the motor to battery negative through the normally closed contacts. The motor stops abruptly when both sides
are connected to battery negative. It is the abrupt stop that releases the brush lugs from the plate retaining spring. After
a time out period the Main Machine Controller de-energizes the brush remove relay.

position (Extreme scrub pressure). Each switch is normally closed. The threaded rod has a collar on it that opens each
switch as it passes by it. When the Main Machine Controller sees the middle position switch open, it knows that the deck
is in the normal scrub position. If that was its goal position, the controller turns off the motor to stop the deck in that
position.

Here is how the circuit works for the actuator. The Main Machine Controller directly drives the brush head actuator
motor. It applies system voltage across the two actuator motor wires to move the motor up. It reverses polarity to move
the motor down. Each position switch receives a 5 volt feed through a resistor from the controller, which returns back
to battery negative on a common wire to connector J2 pin 2. The controller has “internal voltmeters” which monitor the
signal voltage of each switch circuit. When the switch is closed, the voltage signal is approximately 0 volts. When the
switch is open, the voltage is approximately 5 volts.
3. Extreme Scrub mode – Extended Position switch = 5v (Other two switches = 0v)
the Main Machine Controller and the battery charger. The addition of the battery charger on the circuit drops the 5v
that is normally seen when the switch is open to approximately 3 volts. This is normal.
When the key is turned off, if the brush head is down, the Main Machine Controller will raise the brush head to the
full up position. When the operator requests the scrub mode, the controller drives the actuator down until it sees the

Solution System
The solution system dispenses water and detergent to the scrub brush head for scrubbing the floor. The solution tank
holds the solution and serves as the main body of the scrubber. Solution from the tank flows through a manual shut off
valve, filter, solution valve (solenoid), manifold and out to the deck. Disc decks deliver the solution on top of the disc
near the center. On Cylindrical decks the solution is delivered through several small holes in manifold hoses along the
front of the deck. The solution then drips through holes in the deck in front of the forward brush. The filter protects the
solution valve from debris which can damage the valve. The manual shut off valve makes it possible to service plumbing
components without draining the solution tank.
The standard solution system requires the operator to mix a cleaning detergent with the water in the solution tank. An
electric solenoid valve is used to turn the solution flow on and off as well as to meter the amount of solution used. The
solution valve is controlled by the Main Machine Controller.
SC750 and SC800 models report solution tank liquid level information to the operator on the Control Panel LCD. The
system does not measure the level of the water directly. It measures the pressure the water exerts on a pressure sensor
through a sealed hose. The higher the liquid level, the more pressure is exerted on the sensor. There is a pressure sensor
mounted on the main machine control board with a clear hose that connects to a fitting on the solution tank. On the
other side of the fitting another hose goes into the tank. When the tank is filled with water/detergent, the liquid tries to
fill the hose but since the hose is sealed off it cannot displace the air in the hose and consequently cannot fill the hose
with liquid. It does exert pressure on the sensor which is converted to a voltage and “read” by the controller. This is like
holding your thumb over the top end of a drinking straw and inserting the straw into your soft drink. The liquid does not
enter the straw because the air cannot escape out of the straw. What you don’t notice with your thumb is that the air
inside the straw is actually slightly pressurized by the liquid trying to displace the air.
On all machines, the Main Machine Controller turns the solution flow on and off and meters the amount that flows via
an electric solenoid valve based on operator request and whether or not the machine is moving. The solution solenoid
valve is spring loaded closed and must be energized to pull the valve open and allow solution to flow. To control the
amount of solution, the controller cycles the solenoid on and off at a slow rate. For low flow, the valve is on for about 1/3
of the time and off for 2/3 of the time. For medium flow, it is on about 2/3 of the time. For high flow it is on constantly.
The solution is intentionally shut off whenever the machine stops moving.
The optional detergent mixing system automatically mixes water from the solution tank with detergent from a separate
detergent container. The operator fills the solution tank with water only. The machine then automatically mixes the
correct amount of detergent and water and delivers it to the scrub brush head. A piston type detergent pump is used
to “inject” the detergent into the solution hose. The controller keeps track of how many times it has stroked the piston
pump and can calculate the level of liquid remaining in the detergent tank based on how many strokes it has counted. In
order for this to work though, the operator must “tell” the controller when a full detergent tank is installed so that the
controller can reset its counter and start again at the beginning. The detergent is injected into the solution hose “before”
the solution solenoid valve. The water and detergent mixture is then regulated by the solenoid valve.
Here is how the solution electrical circuit works. In order to understand whether the machine is moving or not, the Main
Machine Controller sends 24v out through a resistor on a WHT/RED wire to the drive motor controller. The drive motor
controller has an internal switch that switches the circuit to battery negative whenever the machine is moving. The Main
Machine Controller has an internal voltmeter that monitors the circuit. When it sees 24 volts, it knows the machine is
standing still. When it sees the voltage drop to near zero it knows the machine is moving and it then turns on the solu-
tion flow. To make the solution flow, the key switch provides battery positive (B+) voltage to the solution solenoid valve.
The voltage goes through the solenoid winding and on to the Main Machine Controller. The controller completes the
circuit to battery negative (B-) through an internal switch causing the solenoid to energize and open the valve. If the

machine has the optional detergent mixing system, the Main Machine Controller also operates the additional detergent
pump. The two wires for the pump are wired directly to the Main Machine Controller. The Main Machine Controller sup-
plies battery positive on one wire and battery negative on the other for a short period of time to stroke the piston in one
direction. It then immediately reverses polarity and does it again to stroke the piston back in the other direction.

Squeegee System
The squeegee collects the water so that the recovery system vacuum can suck it up off the floor and store it in the recov-
ery tank. The squeegee support is spring loaded downward to push the squeegee against the floor, and has a pivot point
that allows the squeegee to “swing” around corners. The squeegee tool rides along the floor on two small wheels and
is raised and lowered with a hand operated lever. To prevent damage to the squeegee tool in the event that the tool is
caught by an obstacle, it is mounted to the support frame in slotted holes and is fastened by two hand tightened “wing
nuts”. The squeegee angle can be adjusted for optimum floor wiping. The squeegee tool has a front and a rear blade.
Each blade has 4 working edges that can be used before the blade is replaced. The front squeegee blade has slots along
the bottom edge to allow the necessary air flow to carry the water. The rear squeegee blade edge is flat.

Wheel System, Traction
A permanent magnet motor transaxle is used to propel the machine in both forward and reverse directions. The con-
trols for forward, reverse and speed are different between the “ST” (SC 750 ST, SC800 ST) and “Non-ST”(SC750, SC800)
Models. The SC750 and SC800 models use a drive paddle with an angle sensor (potentiometer) as an input for forward
and reverse with a variable speed signal. They also have a separate speed limit potentiometer to control the maximum
speed. The SC750 ST and SC800 ST models use a combination of two switches. There are 2 “Palm Drive Buttons” and a
Reverse Button. When either palm drive button is pressed, the machine will go forward. If the reverse button is pressed
while a palm drive button is pressed the machine will move in reverse. ST models also have a separate speed control
potentiometer. It controls the speed of travel. On both models, the speed in reverse is intentionally less than in forward.
The Drive Motor Controller varies the amount of voltage it applies to the drive motor to control speed. It reverses the
polarity to change direction. The Drive Motor Controller is capable of informing the Main Machine Controller that it sees
a problem, but there are no specific drive system codes to retrieve.
Drive Motor Circuit Description - SC750 ST and SC800 ST models.
Powering up the Drive Motor Controller:

The controller is connected directly to battery positive (B+) and battery negative (B-). These supply the power that the
controller uses to send out to the drive motor. The controller “wakes up” when it receives voltage from the key switch.
On machines with an optional on-board battery charger, the voltage first goes through the key switch and then through
the interlock circuit in the battery charger when the charger is not plugged into an AC power supply. When the charger is
plugged in, the voltage is interrupted by the built in interlock relay and the drive system will not wake up even if the key
is turned on.
Drive Motor Controller Inputs

To drive forward, the operator presses either palm drive button and rotates the speed control potentiometer to achieve
the desired speed. The drive motor controller has internal “voltmeters” that are monitoring 3 inputs.
1. Palm Switches - To know when to move.
2. Speed Request - To know how fast to move
3. Reverse Switch - To know which direction to move
The palm drive buttons are fed 5 volts from the controller. When either switch closes, the 5 volts goes through the switch
and back to the controller where an internal voltmeter “sees” the 5 volts and “recognizes” it as a request to move. (Note:
There is an internal “diagnostic voltage” of a little more than 2 volts that will be seen when both switches are open.)
The speed limit potentiometer is fed 5 volts from the controller on one side of its resistive strip. The voltage goes
through the resistive strip and returns to battery negative inside the controller. The “wiper” inside the potentiometer will
return a voltage back to the controller as a speed request input. If the wiper is close to the supply side, the voltage will
be high (4.6v = Maximum speed request). If it is close to the battery negative return side, the voltage will be low (0.2v =
Minimum speed request).
The reverse switch provides the “directional request input.” Here is how it works. The Drive Motor Controller sends ap-
proximately 2.8v through an internal resistor out to the reverse switch. An “internal voltmeter” monitors the voltage.
When the reverse switch is open, 2.8v is seen. This is interpreted as a “forward direction” request. When the reverse
switch closes, it connects the voltage to battery negative through the Drive Motor Controller. This drops the voltage from
2.5v to nearly 0v. This is interpreted as a “reverse direction” request.


Drive Motor Controller Outputs

The primary job of the Drive Motor Controller is to operate the electric transaxle drive motor. It does this by regulating
current flow through the drive motor to control speed, and by changing polarity to control direction. The secondary job is
to notify the Main Machine Controller when the machine is moving and which direction it is moving. The Main Machine
Controller uses this information to start and stop the solution flow and scrub functions.
To move the machine forward, the controller connects terminal M2 to battery negative AND connects terminal M1 to
battery positive. To regulate the speed, the controller pulses the battery positive voltage out to terminal M1 at a fixed
frequency called a “duty cycle”. The greater the percentage of “on” time that the circuit is connected to battery positive,
the faster the machine will go.
To move the machine in reverse, terminal M1 is connected to ground and terminal M2 is pulsed to battery positive volt-
age. The speed in reverse is intentionally reduced.
The Drive Motor Controller tells the Main Machine Controller when the machine is moving and what direction it is mov-
ing. Two circuits are used for this purpose, the FOR/REV and the REV circuit. Here is how the FOR/REV circuit works: The
Main Machine Controller sends 24 volts out through an internal resistor to the Drive Motor Controller. The Drive Motor
Controller has an internal switch to battery negative (B-). When the machine is not moving, the switch is open. There
is an internal voltmeter inside the Main Machine Controller that sees 24 volts on the circuit. When the machine moves
in either direction, the switch closes and the voltage drops to 0 volts. This tells the main machine controller that the
machine is moving. However, the main machine controller does not know what direction the machine is moving. There
is another circuit called the REV circuit that provides direction information. It works similar to the FOR/REV circuit. When
the machine is stationary or moving forward, the switch remains open so the main machine controller “sees” 24v. The
switch closes when the machine moves in reverse, dropping the voltage to 0v.
• Stationary Machine - Both Inputs=24v
• Machine Moving Forward = FOR/REV=0v, REV = 24v
• Machine Moving in Reverse - FOR/REV=0v, REV = 0v

Drive Motor Circuit Description - SC750 and SC800 models.

Powering up the Drive Motor Controller:

This is the same as the “ST” models. See above section.
Drive Motor Controller Inputs

To drive forward, the operator pushes on a drive paddle which rotates the Speed Control Potentiometer inside the
paddle. A separate Speed Limit Potentiometer is rotated to control the maximum speed.
The drive motor controller has internal “voltmeters” that are monitoring 2 inputs.
1. Drive Paddle Position - To know when to move and which direction.
2. Speed Limit - To know what the maximum speed should be.
The drive paddle Position potentiometer is fed 5 volts from the controller on one side of its resistive strip. The voltage
goes through the resistive strip and returns to battery negative inside the controller. The “wiper” inside the potentiom-
eter will return a voltage back to the controller as a direction request input. If the wiper is exactly in the middle, as it
should be when drive paddle is in the spring loaded position, the return voltage will be ½ of the supply voltage (2.5v).
As the paddle is pushed forward, the wiper moves closer to the supply side, resulting in an increase in voltage. Volt-
age above 2.5v is interpreted as a forward request. The same input is also used for more or less speed. As the paddle is
pushed farther forward, the voltage will increase and it will be interpreted as a request for more speed in the forward di-
rection. (When the drive paddle is pulled back, the voltage will drop below 2.5v. and is interpreted as a reverse request).
The Speed Limit Potentiometer is fed 5 volts from the controller on one side of its resistive strip. The voltage goes
through the resistive strip and returns to battery negative inside the controller. The “wiper” inside the potentiometer will
return a voltage back to the controller as a speed request input. If the wiper is close to the supply side, the voltage will
be high (4.6v = Maximum speed request). If it is close to the battery negative return side, the voltage will be low (0.2v =
Minimum speed request).
The combination of the drive paddle position potentiometer input and the speed limit potentiometer input allows the
operator to hold the paddle all the way forward for normal operation while still being able to adjust the travel speed.

Troubleshooting
The Drive Motor Controller is a PG Drives Technology controller from the I-Drive family. It performs onboard diagnosis
of itself and related circuits. If it sees a problem it sets a “Trip Code”. Trip codes are grouped by “Trip Types”. Either the
Trip Type or the Trip Code can be used to focus troubleshooting into a certain area. Trip Codes are more specific than Trip
Types.
The Drive Motor Controller uses the status wire to inform the Main Machine Controller when it has set a Trip Code and
which Trip Type the code belongs to. The main machine controller in turns displays an error code (3 on “Non-ST” models
and “1,1” on “ST” models) and it flashes out the Trip TYPE using one of the LEDs on the control panel.
Reading LED Trip Type Values
Trip types are represented by a single digit. “Non-ST” models use the Detergent LED to flash out the Trip Type value and
“ST” models use the High Solution flow LED. A trip type 7 will flash the LED 7 times, stay off for a brief pause and then re-
peat the cycle. The main machine controller turns on the LED whenever the voltage on the status line is low and turns it
off when the status voltage is high. These photos of a graphing voltmeter monitoring the status line can help you under-
stand what to expect for the LED flash out.
Trip Type 7 Trip Type 1 Throttle Input at Key-On
Note: If the Drive Motor Controller sees a “throttle request” at pin 1 when the key is turned on, it will “ignore” the
request and tell the Main Machine Controller that there is a problem. The LED used to display the trip type value flashes
at a steady rate. It appears to momentarily flash off , then stay on for a bit longer period of time. This should not be
confused with a Trip Type 1 where there is more “off time” with a brief “on time”.When the throttle request input is cor-
rected, the LED stops flashing and normal operation is restored without the need to cycle the key off and back on.
Trip Code Table
Information in the following table is provided by PG Drive Technologies. It includes information on codes that may never
be seen in the Nilfisk-Advance machine. For example, the SC750/800 model family does not utilize a solenoid brake, so
theoretically you should not ever see a trip type 9 (Solenoid Brake Trip), but in the event that you do, the table will
provide you with the information you need.
A specific Trip Code can only be obtained by using a PGDT (PG Drives Technology) program-
mer. This programmer is not required to troubleshoot drive system problems. If you have a
drive system problem, check to see if an LED on the control panel is flashing out the “Trip
Type” value. Use the table below to find the trip type description. One Trip Type may be
related to multiple Trip Codes. You need to refer to the Code Description and Possible Causes
for ALL Trip Codes for a given Trip Type.

Undefined 300 Parallel Speed Pot. Wiper Error
This occurs when the controller detects that the Parallel

Speed Limit Potentiometer Wiper is open circuit or has been
shorted to one of the throttle references. The Parallel Speed
Limit Potentiometer Wiper input is located on pin 9 of the
14-way Tiller Connector. If this error occurs, the controller
will allow drive to continue but at the minimum programmed
speed. Check the parallel speed potentiometer, connections
and relevant wiring to the i-Drive.
If the trip is still present after the potentiometer, connectors
and wiring have been checked, the controller may be defec-
tive. Refer to Section 3.
Undefined 4401 Record Of Possible Control Fault.
‘4401’ is not actually a trip code but rather a historical record

of the number of times the i-Drive has tripped with a suspect-
ed controller fault. Each time the i-Drive trips with an error
not shown in the table above, it records one instance of the
code ‘4401’ in the controller’s System Log. The actual con-
troller trip code is also recorded in the i-Drive’s Control Log.
The number of ‘4401’ trips shown in the System Log should
therefore equal the cumulative number of trip occurrences
shown in the Control Log. More information on the i-Drive’s
diagnostic logs can be found in Chapter 3, Section 12. Check
the batteries, motor, connectors and wiring to the i-Drive.
Please contact PGDT for further advice before returning a
controller based solely on the presence of historical ‘4401’
trips in the System Log.
* Dependant on programming
Trip Types 4 and 5 not used for i-Drive
Section 3 Servicing Of Defective Units
There are no serviceable parts within the controller. Opening or making any unauthorized adjustments or modifi-
cations to the controller or its components will invalidate any warranty and may result in hazards to the operator
and is strictly forbidden.

Does Not Propel Forward or Reverse with No Trip Type set
In the event the machine will not propel and there are no Trip Codes or Trip Types to narrow down the problem area,
systematically check the Drive Motor Controller power supplies, inputs and outputs. Use the Service Test Mode to speed
your diagnosis. Check to see if the Drive Motor Controller is sending signals to the Main Machine Controller that indicate
it is trying to move the machine. If it is, that confirms that the input requests to the Drive Motor Controller are good
and that it is trying to respond to them. Next, check to see if there is voltage across the motor terminals. If the voltage is
above 6 volts and the motor is not turning, the motor is the problem (Check the carbon brushes). If there is no voltage to
the motor, the controller or wiring has failed.
Possible Causes
• Battery voltage too low
• Controller not receiving input requests for travel
• Drive motor
• Drive motor controller
• Wiring
