CONTROL MODULE DESCRIPTION
The ConvertaMAX™ 20/26 / BA 550/650 scrubbers have an electronic module that controls the activation of the scrub brush motors
for scrubbing and removal of the brushes/pads and the low voltage cutout function.
For normal scrubbing the brush motor(s) will activate only if the brushes are down and the Drive Paddle (5) (throttle) is in the forward
or reverse position.
For removal of the brushes/pads the scrub deck must be in the up position. To remove the brushes/pads simply depress the Brush
Remove Switch (15). The module will momentarily run the brush motor and then stop it quickly.
The low voltage cutout is adjustable for two different thresholds. The normal setting cuts out at 1.75 volts per cell and the alternate
setting cuts out at 1.83 volts per cell. The cutout level is selected by momentarily depressing the pushbutton switch located on the
module circuit board.
*Important Note: See the Low Voltage Cutout Level Selection manual section in the Electrical System and follow the instructions
for setting the low voltage cutout threshold.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY FUEL GAUGE
The Battery Fuel Gauge (12) uses a 10 bar LED display that indicates the state of the batteries charge, successively, bar by bar, from
full to empty. At 70% depth of discharge a single flashing light signals an energy reserve alert. At 80% of discharge, a double flashing
light signals an empty alarm. The battery gauge will retain the last state-of-charge condition even when the machine has been turned
off. The battery fuel gauge state-of-charge display indication is automatically reset to full charge when the battery pack is recharged.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The 20-gallon (76 l.) capacity solution tank uses two fill openings one located in the front and another in the rear, which offers ease of filling. Plumbed
onto the tank outlet is a serviceable solution filter, to keep debris from entering the solenoid valve. Also fitted to the tank is flexible hose used to
indicate the solution level and to drain the tank for system maintenance.
See Figure 1. The solution system uses (2) valves to regulate the amount of solution dispensed onto the floor. The Knob (A) located on the control
panel operates the Main Solution Valve (B) that controls the needed flow volume demanded by the scrub brushes. The electrical solenoid valve
(L1) (C) and control panel mounted solution switch (S2) start and stop the solution flow (See Electrical Diagram).
During normal machine operation the (S2) solution switch when turned ON works in conjunction with the wheel drive controller components and
brush motor solenoid output to energize the (L1) solenoid valve. The solution will flow to the scrub brushes when the main flow control valve is
open, the scrub deck is lowered and the handle drive paddle (box) is pushed or pulled into Fwd or Rev. Note: When the solution On/Off switch
(S2) is turned Off, no flow can occur regardless of the main valve being On and the drive control paddle being activated.

Symptom 2 (part
A&B).
Separate the wiring
harness connector
that feeds the L1
solenoid (2 wires
Yel/Wht & Yel/Blk).
Test for 24V
Test the resis-
tance of the L1
solenoid coil. If it
reads infinity coil
is open or if it
reads 40 ohms or
less it is shorted
(a good coil
should read 63
ohms ±10%).
Check for 24V
(Pos.) from the
Yel/Wht L1 harness
feed wire to a
(Neg.) battery
standoff
Replace the L1
solenoid coil if
testing shows it
shorted or open.
Check for 24V
(Pos.) at the
Blk/Yel input wire
on the S2 solution
switch
Test continuity of
the Blk/Yel & #12
wires from the K1
solenoid to the S2
solution switch.
Repair or replace
Replace the S2
solution switch
Check for 24V
(Neg.) from the
Yel/Blk L1 harness
feed wire to a (Pos.)
battery standoff
Check for 24V
(Neg.) at the
Vio/Blk input wire
on the S2 solution
switch
Replace the S2
solution switch
Check diode D2
for continuity in
one direction only
If diode checks
open replace the
D2 diode
Replace the L1
solenoid valve

SOLUTION SYSTEM
SOLENOID VALVE DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING
1Remove the solenoid valve. See the Solution Solenoid Valve And Strainer Removal section for instructions.
2See Figure 5. Remove the (2) (J) Screws and nuts and disassemble the valve (be careful not to lose any internal parts).
3Thoroughly wash dirt from block (K) and diaphragm (L).
4After reassembling, test the solenoid valve for proper operation.
Note: Solenoid valve replacement seal kit (Viton) part number 56324247.
SOLUTION FLOW CONTROL VALVE REMOVAL
1Drain the solution tank and also remove the squeegee tool from the machine (this allows the needed room to work on the valve).
2See Figure 4. Loosen the Hose Clamp (D) and pull the Hose (E) off the valve elbow fitting (F).
3Remove the Screw (M) that holds together both the water valve shaft arm and the solution valve arm.
4Separate the control arms and work the shaft up and off the valve to allow the clearance for removal.
5Turn the valve out of the solution tank connection and remove it from the machine. Note it is not necessary to remove the tank drain hose, just compress
the hose to allow needed clearance to remove the valve.
