Maneuvering CIMEX 19'

October 12 2003 at 9:33 PM		Chris Kallas 
I had a small commercial job last Saturday, and there was 2-3 hallways, how the 19' CIMEX maneuver to them? Go forward down to the end, then no space to turn around, so pulling the machine, but it go zig-zag and not straight.
is there any other better way to do that?
Thanks
Chris

In a tight area I usually push the machine forward in a straight line and then pull it backwards along the same path.

Another option is to go to the end and turn it off. Then fold up your handle to the upright position. Leaving enough room from the end walls, you can lift up on the handle and wheel assembly and pivot it around, spinning on the head that is on the floor. Now you can turn it on and start off in the new direction.

Chris what i did at the daycare this weekend was when i got to the end of a hall, I would pull back about 4 feet and make pass next to that one. Then i would do it again until just about that end of the hall was done. Then i would turn around and go back, then when i came back to the end of the hall i had room to turn around.

Ades...WHAT??

Just kidding, that makes sence, I like that.
Rick, that's I was talking, forward you can go straight, but backwards, its kind zig-zag.
I got your pads, thanks.
