ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TURBINE _-
BRUSIt BLOCK
Deluxe and Ultra models have 5 mlcllocking rotating
brushes. Fig. 6
Tile brushes are driven by an air pOWeled turbine
Fig. 7
Rotation of tile brush can be viewed though a cleai
cover on the hood. The Speed of the brush depends
on air flow and is adjustable for Lo or Hi rotation or
can be turned off completely as might be desired
when cleaning bare floors. Fig. 8
There are 3 major systems in Steam Vacs:
1. Electrical
2. Distribution
3. Recovery
The Electrical System - Fig. 9 consists of the
power supply cord, motor and on/off switch. Close
the switch, the motor runs and provides suction for
recovery at the floor or the upholstery tool. It also
generates air flow to drive the turbine to rotate the
brushes at the floor and in the powere d wand plus
drive the pump to force solution to the upholstery
tool.
