Check pre-cleaning before repeating passes or increasing water. Large particles, debris and dust can interfere with brush action, squeegee contact and recovery.
Identify the material and suitable collection equipment
Record particle size, moisture and liquid or dust properties. A specialist should select the equipment and procedure for hazardous or unidentified materials.
Check pre-cleaning, scrubbing and recovery separately
- Pre-clean using suitable equipment to remove material that would interfere with scrubbing.
- Scrubbing: select the brush, detergent and procedure for the floor and soil.
- Recovery: check the pickup system and actual floor moisture. Reflections alone can be misleading.
- After work, empty debris and wastewater as instructed, clean the machine and log abnormalities.
Use the models to discuss configuration after checking the site.
For more continuous areas, seeJ-105BFandJ-85BFfor its individual configuration. When assessing sweeping and scrubbing together, seeJ-SX1360D configuration. Confirm the task for each machine and check suitability for special materials separately.

Questions about this guide
Can an ordinary vacuum collect any dust?
Identify the material and dust first. A technical specialist should specify the equipment and procedure for hazardous or unidentified material.
Does using several machines remove the need to check material suitability?
Check the duty and limits of each machine separately.
What should be checked after pre-cleaning?
Check brush, floor and detergent compatibility, then inspect wastewater pickup and finishing. Repeatedly adding water alone may leave the underlying problem unresolved.
