HOW THIS MACHINE WORKS
The Chariot is a battery powered, self propelled,
hard floor burnisher intended for commercial use.
The appliance spins a high-speed burnishing pad in
contact with the floor surface to produce a high
luster shine.
The machines primary systems are the burnishing
system, the dust control system and the operator
control system.
The function of the burnishing system is to spin a
high-speed burnishing pad in contact with a floor
surface that has had a burnishable floor finish
applied. The burnishing pad can be lowered to the
floor and raised by the operator, the operator can
also control the pad pressure by use of the control
knob. The burnishing pad will spin only when the
machine is directed to move by the operator.
The function of the dust control system is to collect
the dust that is created during the burnishing
process. It is normal for a portion of the floor finish to
be removed in the form of dust during the process.
While burnishing, air movement is created within the
burnishing head by the spinning pad. The dust that
is also created is entrained in the air stream and
transported to a filter bag where it is collected and
separated from the air stream. The filter bag can be
easily changed without releasing the collected dust.
3-3
86306300 CHARIOT BURNISHER 11/09/07
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 switch, throttle pedal, operator presence
pedal, speed control switch, drive reset switch,
emergency stop/brake switch, steering wheel, propel
controller, and drive wheel. The directional control
switch signals forward or reverse direction. The
controller interprets signals from the throttle pedal to
command the drive wheel to propel or slow the
machine. The drive reset switch is to make sure the
operator is on platform before machine will propel.
The operator presence pedal is to make sure the
operator keeps both feet safely on platform while
driving. 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.

BATTERIES
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.

MACHINE TROUBLESHOOTING-
CONTROLLER FAULT CODES
PROPEL CIRCUIT BOARD TROUBLESHOOTING
Curtis 1228 LED DIAGNOSTICS- Basic and Cylindrical
During normal operation, with no faults present, the status LED is steadily on.
If the controller detects a fault, the status LED provides two types of information.
First, it displays a slow flash (2 Hz) or a fast flash (4 Hz) to indicate the
severity of the fault. Slow-flash faults are self-clearing; as soon as the fault is
corrected, the vehicle will operate normally. Fast-flash faults (“.” in Table 2) are
considered to be more serious in nature and require that the key switch be cycled
to resume operation after the fault is corrected.
After the severity indication has been active for 10 seconds, the status
LED flashes a 2-digit fault identification code continuously until the fault is
corrected. For example, code “1,4”—low battery voltage—appears as: one LED flash, followed by a pause,
then 4 LED flashes, and then repeats.
