How The Machine Works
The Saber Cutter 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
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 two rotary type disk scrub
brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt, lift 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 lever is used to
raise and lower the deck. For heavy scrub pressure
lock the lever into the lower notch. Pushing the lever
forward allows you to push down. Pull Back on the
lever to allow it to swing down and out of the way.
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 tank and controls. 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 tank. The recovery tank stores th e dir ty
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 control
buttons actuates switches, which signal forward
pressing the reverse button in addition to one of the
propel control buttons the machine will move in
reverse. 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.

INEFFICIENT SCRUBBING PATH
RECOMMENDED SCRUBBING PATH
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 and
lowering scrub deck/squeegee.
NOTE: In order to achieve the best possible results, the
area which is to be cleaned should be swept before
scrubbing. Large debris, strings & wire must be
removed to prevent being caught in brushes or
squeegee.
To Begin Scrubbing
When operating the machine around people, pay
close attention for unexpected movement. Use
extra caution around children.
Lorsque vous utilisez la machine en présence de
gens, portez une attention particulière aux
mouvements inattendus. Soyez plus prudent,
surtout en présence d’enfants.
Flammable liquids and/or reactive metals can
cause explosions or fire! Do not pick up.
Les liquides inflammables et / ou les métaux
réactifs peuvent provoquer des explosions ou un
incendie ! Ne les ramassez pas.

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.To double scrub, make the first pass over the
surface being cleaned with the squeegee up, vacuum
off, the solution on, Aqua-Mizer removed and brushes
down. This allows the solution to stay incontact 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 squeegee down and again the
solution and brushes on will 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.

1. Batteries
Maintenance
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.
Les batteries émettent du gaz hydrogène. Une
explosion ou un incendie peut en résulter.
Maintenez les étincelles et les flammes nues à

2. Squeegee Blades
The front squeegee blade allows solution to pass
through channels in the blade into the squeegee
assembly while maintaining vacuum to provide lift. The
front blade has four wear surfaces and can be rotated
for extended life. The front blade should not require
regular replacement under normal use.
The rear blade wipes the floor to a near dry condition. It
is important the rear blade be in good condition to
properly do its job. As with the front, each squeegee
blade assembly has four wear surfaces for extended
service.
Check both the front and rear squeegee blades for
damage, wear, and adjustment each day in the pre-run
check. Change the front blade if it is torn or has an
uneven edge. Change the rear blade if it is less than
1/2 the original thickness.
Adjusting Squeegee
Adjusting the squeegee is a two-part process. First, the
squeegee assembly must have correct pitch in order for
the squeegee blade to have the same deflection at
each tip as well as the center. The knob on the
squeegee linkage controls the pitch adjustment. The
second adjustment is the deflection. Knobs on each
end of the squeegee control this.
To Remove Squeegee Assembly
1. With the squeegee in the up position, turn key
switch “OFF”.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
2. Disconnect vacuum hose from squeegee and
loosen both knobs.
3. Pull squeegee assembly rearward from the lifting
carrier.
4. Inspect or repair as necessary and reinstall.
To Replace Or Rotate Rear Squeegee
Blades
1. With the squeegee in the up position, turn key
switch “OFF”.

To Adjust Squeegee Pitch
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn “ON” the key
switch. Lower the squeegee and drive forward at
least 2 feet (60cm.).
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do not
allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3. Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of
the squeegee blade between each end and the
middle. Proper adjustment is obtained when
deflection is equal all the way across the squeegee
blade. The bubble level should also indicate when
the squeegee is adjusted properly. When the air
bubble is in the center of the vial, the deflection
should be even across the squeegee blade.
4. To decrease the deflection of the squeegee blade
at the ends, tighten knob near the squeegee
center. To increase the deflection at the ends of the
squeegee assembly, loosen knob.
5. Check the deflection of the squeegee blades
again. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the deflection
is equal across the entire rear squeegee blade.
To Adjust Amount Of Rear Squeegee
Deflection
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the
squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60cm).
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do not
allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3. Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It
should deflect 3/8 in. (9.5mm) across the entire
width of the squeegee.
4. To increase the squeegee deflection, turn the 2
knobs at the squeegee ends counter-clockwise. To
decrease the deflection, turn the knobs clockwise.
NOTE: The deflection should be consistent along the
length of the squeegee. If the deflection varies from
end to end the knobs can be adjusted independently
to correct the variation.
5. Turn on the key switch. Raise, then lower
squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least 2 feet
(60cm).
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until deflection of 3/8 in.
(9.5mm) is reached.

Blades
These squeegee blades have two wear edges. To use
the second edge:
1. Remove deck shrouds.
2. Remove brushes or pad drivers.
3. Remove each of the Aqua-Mizer™ squeegee
systems.
4. Remove the hardware from each system that
retains the blade.
5. Flip the blades and replace hardware.
6. Re-install each Aqua-Mizer™ system, brushes or
pad drivers and shrouds.

4. Scrub Brushes
There are four different types of brushes available to
cover applications from cleaning heavily soiled floors to
polishing. A pad driver is also available to take
advantage of the many cleaning pads on the
market.Please refer to the following to assist in
selecting the proper brush or pad for the work at hand.
Uncoated Floors
Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with
silicone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and
removes surface material.
Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit
suitable for cleaning medium soil conditions.Advantages are faster ground speed than nylon bristles on
light solid applications.
Polypropylene is a general-purpose scrub brush with
stiff bristles. Polypropylene works well for maintaining
concrete, wood and tile floors.
Finished Floors
Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications on
coated or uncoated surfaces.
White Pads (Polishing) are used for dry polishing to
achieve a high-gloss appearance, or surface washing
on highly polished or burnished floors.
Red Pads (Buffing) are used for light-duty scrubbing.When used with a mild detergent they will provide
surface cleaning without removing the finish.
Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty
scrubbing and light stripping. The blue pads remove
less finish than brown stripping pads, yet will remove
black marks, stains and dirt.
Black Pads (Strippin g) are used for easy and complete
removal of old floor waxes/finishes. They will quickly
remove ground in dirt, black heel marks, and
spills.When used with the proper stripper, this pad
leaves the floor clean and ready for finishing.
Replacing Or Installing Scrub Brushes
1. With the scrub deck up, turn “OFF” the machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the
machine; stop on level surface, turn OFF machine
and remove key.
2. Remove the brush cover shrouds.
3. Locate release lever on top of brush or pad
driver.Rotate release lever counter-clockwise and
the brush/pad driver will release and drop down.
4. To reinstall, center the brush driver under the brush
drive hub. Raise until it contacts brush driver
assembly. Turn clockwise until release lever plate
locks into position.
5. Replace the brush cover shrouds.
NOTE: Check that release plate is completely closed
and pad/brush is securely attached. Da mage to driver
or brush could occur.
5. Recovery Tank Float Shut-off
When water is no longer being vacuumed from the
floor and the vacuum fan is operating, the ball float
has engaged. The vacuum motor will not vacuum
water with recovery tank full. The recovery tank
must be drained.
1. The float shut-off screen can be cleaned in or out
of the machine.
2. To clean the float shut-off while it is inside the
machine wipe material off screen then rinse. Check
that the ball is also clean and moves freely.
3. To remove the float shut-off, grasp the screen with
one hand and the connected tube with the other.Tilt
and pull the float screen assembly to pull it off the
barb on the tube.
4. To install, place one hand on the tube, and then tilt
and push the float screen assembly over the barb
on the tube.
The scrub brushes should be checked before each
days work for wire, string, wear and damage.
