Featuring complete access to all critical machine components, the SC401 provides easy maintenance. The large recovery lid allows full access for inspection and cleaning of the tank. An integrated debris catch cage traps and collects drain clogging debris.
Simple to operate, the SC401 is activated by pressing the OneTouch™ Scrubbing button. The built-in sensors in the machine’s handle acknowledge the operator’s presence and the machine is engaged. The Electronic Solution flow control is mounted on the control panel within easy reach to adjust while in use to accommodate changing floor conditions. To prevent dry scrubbing and possible damage to the floor, the SC401 offers a brush pre-wet feature.
