HOW THIS MACHINE WORKS
86317500 CHARIOT SCRUBBER 11/15/08 3-3
The Chariot® is a battery powered, self-propelled,
hard floor scrubber intended for commercial use.
The appliance applies a cleaning solution onto a
hard floor, scrubs the floor with brushes, and then
vacuums the soiled water back into the recovery
tank.
The machine's primary systems are the solution
system, scrub system, recovery system, and
operator control system.
The function of the solution system is to store
cleaning solution and deliver it to the scrub system.
The solution system consists of the solution tank,
strainer, pump, valve. The solution tank stores
cleaning solution (water and detergent) until it is
delivered to the scrub system. The strainer protects
the pump from debris. The valve automatically
prevents solution flow unless the scrub brushes are
turned on and the machine is being propelled.
The function of the scrub system is to scrub the
floor. The disk scrub system consists of two rotary
type disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt
and lift actuator. The brushes scrub the floor as the
motors drive the brushes. The brush drive hubs
allow the scrub brushes to follow irregularities and
changes in the floor without loosing contact with the
floor. The scrub deck skirts control the cleaning
solution on the floor so that the squeegee can pick it
up.
The scrub plus system consists of two cylindrical
type brushes, motors, scrub deck side squeegees,
hopper, lift actuator. The cylindrical scrub head is
designed to eliminate debris that may be caught in
the squeegee while scrubbing. Water is applied to
the first scrubbing brush turning in a clockwise
rotation when viewed from the right side of machine.
The first brush scrubs dirt and debris between the
brushes. The second scrubbing brush, turning in a
counter clockwise rotation, picks up debris and
throws it into a removable hopper. Water is allowed
to drain out the hopper into the squeegee path
where it is recovered from the floor.
The scrub deck side squeegees control the cleaning
solution on the floor so that the squeegee can pick it
up.
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum
the soiled water back into the recovery tank. The
recovery system consists of the squeegee, vacuum
motor, float ball filter, recovery bag. The squeegee
wipes the dirty solution off the floor as the machine
moves forward. The vacuum motor provides suction
to draw the dirty solution off the floor and into the
recovery bag. The float ball filter protects the
vacuum fan from debris and foam. The recovery
bag stores the dirty solution.
The function of the operator control system is to
control the direction and speed of the machine. The
directional control system consists of the direction
control drive reset switch, throttle pedal, emergency
stop/brake switch, steering wheel, propel controller,
and drive wheel. The directional control drive reset
switch signals forward or reverse direction and
makes sure the operator is on platform before
machine will propel. The controller interprets signals
from the throttle pedal to command the drive wheel
to propel or slow the machine. The steering wheel
points the drive wheel in the direction desired by the
operator. The parking brake automatically engages
when the operator steps off the platform. The
emergency stop/brake can be used to hold the
machine on slopes.
