Operations
SPECIAL NOTES:
The sound pressure level at the operator's ear was
measured to be 73 dBA (Basic) and 69 dBA (Deluxe).
This was a nearfield, broad-band measurement taken
on a carpeted floor. This appliance contains no
possible source of impact noise. The instantaneous
sound pressure level is below 63 Pa.
The weighted root mean square acceleration at the
operator's arms was measured to be below 2.5m/s2 .
This was a tri-axial, third-octave-band measurement
made during normal operation on a composite tile floor.
The measurement and related calculations were made
in accordance with ANSI S3.34-1986.

Operations
How This machine Works
The Chariot® iVacuum™ is a battery powered, selfpropelled, carpet vacuum intended for commercial use.
The appliance vacuums debris and dirt from the carpet
and collects it in a disposable bag.
The machine's primary systems are the brush system,
vacuum system, and operator control system.
The function of the brush system is to brush the carpet.
The brush system consists of two cylindrical type
brushes, motor, brush deck, and controls.
The front brush turns clockwise when viewed from the
right side of the machine. The rear brush turns counterclockwise. Both brushes work to agitate the carpet
and to route the debris up in to the central vacuum
nozzle.
The function of the vacuum system is to vacuum dirt
and debris into the vacuum bag. The recovery system
consists of the vacuum nozzle, vacuum motor, cloth
vacuum bag and paper vacuum bag. The vacuum
nozzle captures the dirt off the floor as the machine
moves forward. The vacuum motor provides suction to
draw the dirt into the vacuum bag. The vacuum bag
stores the dirt.
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, speed control switch, drive reset switch,
emergency stop/brake switch, steering wheel, propel
controller, drive wheel and operator presence pedal
prior to Serial Number(17*). 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
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.
*See Serial Number page.
