SPECIAL NOTES:

The sound pressure level at the operator’s ear
was measured to be 68 dBA. This was a
nearfield, broad-band measurement taken in a
typical industrial environment on a tile 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
measurement made during normal operation on
a composite tile floor. The measurement and
related calculations were made in accordance
with ANSI S3.34-1986.

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

The Saber Cutter is a battery powered, self­propelled, 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
directional 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, valve and controls. The
solution tank stores cleaning solution (water and
detergent) until it is delivered to the scrub system.
The strainer protects the valve from debris. The
valve is a solenoid type valve, which controls the
delivery of cleaning solution to the scrub system.
The valve automatically prevents solution flow
unless the scrub brushes are turned on and the
machine is being propelled. The solution control
knob controls the amount of cleaning solution
delivered to the scrub system by controlling the
amount of time the valve is open.

The function of the scrub system is to scrub the
floor. The scrub system consists of three rotary
type disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt,
lift mechanism, swing mechanism and controls.
The brushes scrub the floor and 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 floor. The
scrub deck skirt controls the cleaning solution on
the floor so that the squeegee can pick it up. The
brush lift mechanisms are controls used to raise
and lower the deck. The brush swing
mechanisms are controls used to swing the deck
in and out.

The function of the recovery system is to vacuum
the soiled water back into the recovery tank. The
recovery system consists of two squeegees,
vacuum motor, float ball filter, recovery tank and
controls. The squeegees wipe 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 tank.
The recovery tank stores the dirty solution. The
float ball filter protects the vacuum fan from debris
and shuts off air going to the recovery tank when
tank is full. When flow of air is shut off the vacuum
motor will continue to run. At this time the
recovery tank must be drained.

The function of the directional control system is to
control the direction and speed of the machine.
The directional control system consists of the
propel control buttons, reverse button, speed
control knob/potentiometer, controller and
transaxle. The propel controls actuate switches
which cause the machine to move forward. For
reverse motion depress the reverse button while
depressing one of the propel controls. The speed
control knob actuates a potentiometer, which
signals speed. The controller interprets the
forward/reverse signals from the switches and the
speed signal from the potentiometer to command
the transaxle to propel the machine in the
direction, and at the speed, desired.
