HOW THIS MACHINE WORKS
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.

before being added into solution tank.
Commercially available, high alkaline floor
cleaners, are suitable for use in the solution
system.
NOTE: Read the chemical manufacturers
recommended proportion instructions.
5. Replace solution tank cover.
Flammable materials
can cause an
explosion or fire. Do not use flammable
materials in the tanks.
MACHINE OPERATION
NORMAL SCRUBBING
Plan the scrubbing pattern in advance. The longest
track is around the perimeter of the area to be
cleaned. For efficient operation, the runs should be
the longest possible without turning, stopping, or
raising or lowering scrub deck/squeegee.
In order to achieve the best possible results, the
area which is to be cleaned should be swept before
scrubbing. Large debris, strings and wire must be
removed to prevent being caught in brushes or
squeegee.
If the machine is allowed to stand in neutral with the
scrub deck down for more than 2 seconds, the
solutions flow stops and brush motors stop. If either
forward or reverse travel is selected, the solution
flow will continue in the same setting and the scrub
brush motors will continue in their same setting once
movement of machine begins. Overlap the brush
path and avoid transporting over previously cleaned
areas.

2. Allow the throttle pedal to return to neutral.
3. Turn machine power off.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine: stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
DOUBLE SCRUB
For floors which are heavily soiled or have thick
accumulations of floor finish, may not clean
sufficiently with one pass. In these cases it will be
necessary to double scrub.
Rotate the knob to the double scrub position labeled
“C”, make the first pass over the surface being
cleaned with the squeegee up, vacuum off and the
solution on. For best results also remove the Aquamizer™, this will allow the solution to stay in contact
with the soil while loosening the surface
accumulation with the brushes. Allow time for the
first application to stay in contact with the floor.
Length of time between the first and second pass
depends on amount of accumulation and the type of
chemical being used. A second scrubbing with the
function knob in one of the normal scrubbing modes
will lower the squeegee and will keep the solution on
and brushes down to further loosen soil. The
additional application of solution will further assist
the difficult cleaning job.
FOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slow on
inclines and slippery services.

MAINTENANCE-BATTERIES
BATTERIES (WET CELL ONLY)
The batteries provide the power to operate the
machine. The batteries require regular maintenance
to keep them operating at peak efficiency.
The machine batteries will hold their charge for long
periods of time, but they can only be charged a
certain number of times. To get the greatest life
from the batteries, charge them when their charge
level reaches 25% of a full charge. Use a
hydrometer to check the charge level.
Do not allow the batteries to remain in a discharged
condition for any length of time. Never expose a
discharged battery to temperatures below freezing.
Discharged batteries will freeze causing cracked
cases. Do not operate the machine if the batteries
are in poor condition or if they have a charge level
below 25% (specific gravity below 1.155).
Keep all metallic objects off the top of the batteries,
as they may cause a short circuit. Replace worn or
damaged cables and terminals.
Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell
before and after charging the batteries. Never add
acid to the batteries, use distilled water. Do not
allow water level to fall below the battery plates.
Portions of plates exposed to air will be destroyed.
Do not overfill. Keep plugs firmly in place at all
times.

When servicing machine,
avoid contact with battery
acid.
Batteries emit hydrogen
gas. Explosion or fire can
result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep
covers open when charging.
Wear eye protection and
protective clothing when
working with batteries.
Charge batteries in a well
ventilated area.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. When cleaning the batteries, use a solution of
baking soda and water. Do not allow the
cleaning fluid to enter the battery cells,
electrolyte will be neutralized.
2. Maintain the proper electrolyte level in each
battery cell. If a cell should accidentally
overflow, clean immediately.
3. Wipe off the top of the batteries at least once a
week.
4. Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least
once a week.
5. Ensure that all connections are tight and all
corrosion removed.
6. Every 4 to 6 months, remove that batteries from
the machine and clean the battery cases and
battery compartment.

CHECKING BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific
gravity.
CHECKING GRAVITY
A. Hydrometer
B. Battery
NOTE: Do not take readings immediately after
adding distilled water, if the water and acid are not
thoroughly mixed, the reading may not be accurate.
Check the hydrometer readings against this chart.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
°
@ 80
1.265 100% CHARGED
1.225 75% CHARGED
1.190 50% CHARGED
1.155 25% CHARGED
1.120 DISCHARGED
NOTE: If the readings are taken when the battery
electrolyte is any temperature other than 80°F
(27°C), the reading must be temperature corrected.
To find the corrected specific gravity reading when
the temperature of the battery electrolyte is other
than 80°F (27°): Add (+) to the specific gravity
reading 0.004 (4 points), for each 10°F (6°C) above
80° (27°C).
Subtract (-) from the specific reading 0.004 (4
points), for each 10°F (6°C) below 80°F (27°C).

Batteries emit hydrogen
gas. Explosion or fire
can result. Keep sparks and open flame away.
Keep covers open when charging.
4. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell.
Before charging, add just enough distilled water
to cover the plates. After charging is complete,
add just enough distilled water to bring up the
level to the indicator ring. If the water level is
too high before charging, normal expansion rate
of the electrolyte may cause an overflow
resulting in a loss of battery acid balance and
damage the machine.
