SPECIAL NOTES:
The sound pressure level at the operator’s ear was
measured to be 73 dBA (Basic) and 69 dBA (Deluxe).
This was a nearfield, broad-band measurement taken
on a carpeted floor. This appliance contains no
possible source of impact noise. The instantaneous
sound pressure level is below 63 Pa.
The weighted root mean square acceleration at the
operator’s arms was measured to be below 2.5m/s
This was a tri-axial, third-octave-band measurement
made during normal operation on a composite tile floor.
The measurement and related calculations were made
in accordance with ANSI S3.34-1986.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

HOW THIS MACHINE WORKS
The Chariot® iVacuum™ is a battery powered, selfpropelled, carpet vacuum intended for commercial
use. The appliance vacuums debris and dirt from
the carpet and collects it in a disposable bag.
The machine's primary systems are the brush
system, vacuum system, and operator control
system.
The function of the brush system is to brush the
carpet.
The brush system consists of two cylindrical type
brushes, motor, brush deck, and controls.
The front brush turns clockwise when viewed from
the right side of the machine. The rear brush turns
counterclockwise. Both brushes work to agitate the
carpet and to route the debris up in to the central
vacuum nozzle.
The function of the vacuum system is to vacuum dirt
and debris into the vacuum bag. The recovery
system consists of the vacuum nozzle, vacuum
motor, cloth vacuum bag and paper vacuum bag.
The vacuum nozzle captures the dirt off the floor as
the machine moves forward. The vacuum motor
provides suction to draw the dirt into the vacuum
bag. The vacuum bag stores the dirt.
3-3
86037810 CHARIOT® VACUUM 12/16/06
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 switch, throttle pedal, operator presence
pedal, speed control switch, drive reset switch,
emergency stop/brake switch, steering wheel, propel
controller, and drive wheel. The directional control
switch signals forward or reverse direction. The
controller interprets signals from the throttle pedal to
command the drive wheel to propel or slow the
machine. The drive reset switch is to make sure the
operator is on platform before machine will propel.
The operator presence pedal is to make sure the
operator keeps both feet safely on platform while
driving. 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.
