SCRUBBING WITH THE SABER/STRIDE II

around the perimeter of the area to be cleaned. For efficient
operation, the runs should be the longest possible without
turning, stopping, or raising and lowering scrub deck/
squeegee.
NOTE: In order to achieve the best possible results, the
area which is to be cleaned should be swept before scrub-
bing. Large debris, strings, wire must be removed to pre-
vent being caught in brushes or squeegee.
