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.

FILLING SOLUTION TANK

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key.

1.Turn the machine power off.

2.Remove solution cover.

3.Fill the solution tank with clean water, leaving enough room for the required amount of cleaning solution. The solution tank capacity filled to fill inlet is 25 gallons (95 liters). The water must not be hotter than 140° F (60°C) to prevent damage to the tank.

4.Measure the chemical into the solution tank. The solution cover is also a 2 oz. (60 ml) measuring cup. Liquid chemicals should be added to the solution tank after filling with water. Dry chemicals should be thoroughly mixed 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.

MACHINE OPERATION

TO BEGIN SCRUBBING

When operating the machine around people, pay close attention for unexpected movement. Use extra caution around children.

Flammable liquids and/or reactive metals can cause explosions or fire! Do not pick up.

1.Stand on the operator platform. Throttle pedal must be in neutral position.

2.Turn machine power on.

3.Press the Drive Reset / Directional Control Switch, selecting the desired travel direction.

4.Position the function control knob to the desired operation. The brush motors will start, the scrub deck will lower, the solution will begin to flow, the squeegee will lower to the floor and the vacuum motors will start.

5.Drive machine forward to begin scrubbing.

NOTE: Shut machine off immediately if water or foam is expelled from the machine.

NOTE: Solution flow is automatically shut off when brush motors stop. When brush motors are activated, flow automatically resumes.

PRIMING PUMP

If the solution system has gone dry or has been unused for a period of time, it may be necessary to follow the pump priming procedure.

1.Fill solution tank.

2.Loosen, but do not completely remove the strainer bowl. Solution should flow out of the strainer. If it does not, check the strainer screen inside the solution tank. Insure it is clear of debris. Tighten the strainer bowl.

3.Disconnect the squeegee hose from the recovery dome.

4.Begin normal scrubbing. Solution flow should begin within 2 minutes.

5.Connect squeegee hose to recovery dome.

3-15	86317500 CHARIOT SCRUBBER 11/15/08

TO STOP SCRUBBING

1.Rotate the function knob to either transport position. The brush motors will stop and the scrub deck will rise to the park position. After 10 seconds the squeegee will raise, and 10 seconds later the vacuum motor will turn off. This delay is to clear the vacuum hose of recovered solution.

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.

MACHINE OPERATION

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.

Battery Check

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° F (27°C)	BATTERY CONDITION
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).

CHARGING BATTERIES

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.

Use a 36 volt, 20 amp maximum output DC charger which will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully charged.

1.Stop the machine in a clean, well ventilated area next to the charger.

2.Turn “OFF” machine.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key.

3.Remove rear cover, unplug batteries from machine, unlatch battery tray and pull out to expose batteries.

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.

MAINTENANCE-BATTERIES

5.Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place while charging.

6.Unplug the battery connector from the machine.

FOR SAFETY: When charging, connect the charger to the batteries before connecting the charger to the AC wall outlet. Never connect the charger to the AC wall outlet first. Hazardous sparks may result.

7.Plug the charger connector into the battery connector. Connect the charger AC plug to a wall outlet. The charger gauge should indicate that the batteries are charging.

8.When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger from the batteries.

9.Connect the batteries to the machine connector.

10.Check the electrolyte level. It should be up to the indicator ring. If necessary, add distilled water.

11.Install the rear cover.

CHANGING BATTERIES

Stop the machine in a clean area next to the charger. Turn off machine.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key.

1.Remove the rear cover.

2.Disconnect battery pack from machine.

3.Unlatch battery tray from machine and pull out to expose batteries.

4.Use the proper size open end wrench to disconnect main ground wire first and secure cable terminal away from batteries.

5.Disconnect main positive lead and secure cable terminals away from batteries.

6.Loosen both terminals on each jumper cable and remove one at a time.

7.Prepare a suitable site to place the batteries.

Attach suitable battery lifting device and lift batteries from the machine. Batteries are a

potential environmental hazard. Consult your battery supplier for safe disposal methods.
