Operations
How This Machine Works
The Chariot® iExtract® 26 is a battery powered, selfpropelled Carpet Extractor intended for commercial
use. The machine is a dual mode; interim and deep
extraction carpet machine. Interim mode applies
solution at a low flow rate agitated by the counterrotating brushes with no solution recovery. Deep
extraction applies solution at a high flow rate agitated
by counter-rotating brushes and recovere d by th e du al
vacuum shoes.
The machine is designed to apply a cleaning solution
onto carpeted floor, and scrub the carpet with two
counter-rotating brushes, then vacuum 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 is gravity fed. The solution system consists of
the solution tank, strainer , valve, manifold 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 strainer
prevents debris from entering the supply lines, valve,
and manifold. The valve automatically prevents solution
flow unless the scrub brushes are turned on and the
machine is being propelled.
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum the
soiled water back into the recovery tank. The recovery
system consists of two vacuum shoes, two vacuum
motors, float ball filter , and controls. The vacuum shoes
extract the dirty solution from the carpet as the machine
moves forward. The vacuum motors provide suction to
draw the dirty solution off the carpet and into the
recovery tank. The float ball filter protects the vacuum
fan from debris and foam. The recovery tank 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 make s 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 use d to
hold the machine on slopes.
NOTE: Impact to machine may cause damage.
The function of the scrub system is to scrub the carpet
and lift and groom the carpet pile. The scrub system
consists of two cylindrical counter-rotating brushes, a
motor, l ift actu ator , and c ontrols. The brushes scrub the
carpet as the motor drives the brushes. The counterrotating action of the brushes applies and agitates the
solution into the carpet.

Operations
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 remo ved to
prevent being caught in brushes or vacuum shoe.
If the machine is allowed to stand in neutral with the
scrub deck down, 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.

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. T o 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.
Maintenance
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
working with batteries.
Portez des lunettes de protection et des vêtements
de protection lorsque vous travaillez avec des
batteries.
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area.
Chargez les batteries dans un endroit bien ventilé.
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.
When servicing machine, avoid contact with
battery acid.
Lors de l'entretien de la machine, évitez tout
contact avec l'acide de batterie.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can
result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep
covers open when charging.
Les batteries émettent du gaz hydrogène. Une
explosion ou un incendie peu t en résu lt er.
Maintenez les étincelles et les flammes nues à
l’écart. Gardez les carters ouverts lors du chargement.
4. Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least
once a week.
5. Ensure that all connections are tight and all
corrosion removed.
Every 4 to 6 months, remove that batteries from the
machine and clean the battery cases and battery
compartment.

FOR SAFETY : When chargin g, connect the charger
to the batteries before connecting the charger to
the AC wall outlet. Never connect the cha rger to the
AC wall outlet first. Hazardous sparks may result.
6. 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.
7. When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect
the charger from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger from the batteries.
8. Connect the batteries to the machine connector.
9. Check the electrolyte level. It should be up to the
indicator ring. If necessary, add distilled water.
10. Close the rear cover.
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 elec trolyte may cause an overflow resulting in a loss of
battery acid balance and damage the machine.
5. Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place
while charging.
