HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
The Saber Glide is a battery powered, selfpropelled, 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, 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 switch 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 28 in. and 32 in. disk scrub systems consists of
two rotary type disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub
deck skirt, lift actuator and controls. 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 and
side squeegees control the cleaning solution on the
floor so that the squeegee can pick it up. The one
touch switch controls the motors and lift actuator to
turn the motors on and lower the deck, or turn the
motors off and raise the deck. The brush pressure
switch controls the down pressure on the scrub
deck.
3-3
86037580 GLIDE 01/03/07
The 36 in. disk scrub system consists of three rotary
type disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirts,
lift actuator, shift actuator and controls. 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 and
side squeegees control the cleaning solution on the
floor so that the squeegee can pick it up. The one
touch switch controls the motors and lift actuator to
turn the motors on and lower the deck, or turn the
motors off and raise the deck. The brush pressure
switch controls the down pressure on the scrub
deck. The scrub deck shift switch controls the
position of the retractable scrub deck.
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, 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 filter protects
the vacuum fan from debris and foam. The recovery
tank stores the dirty solution.
The float switch in the tank activates the recovery
tank full indicator, shuts off the scrub motors and
solution flow, raises the scrub deck then squeegee,
and shuts off vacuum motor.
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/speed control pedal, steering wheel, brake
pedal, propel controller, and drive wheel. The
direction/speed pedal signals forward or reverse
direction and speed. The controller interprets signals
from the direction/speed 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 brake can be used to hold the
machine on slopes.

MACHINE OPERATION
The solution tank can be filled to the FULL
3.
marking of the fill inlet. Leave room for
detergent. The solution tank capacity is 30
gallons (114 liters).
The water must not be hotter than 140' (60'C) to
prevent damage to the tank. Measure the
required amount of chemical into 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.
4. Inspect solution tank cover vent for obstructions.
Replace solution tank cover.
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.
The machine will automatically raise the squeegee
slightly when reverse travel is selected. If the
machine is allowed to stand in neutral with the scrub

raised position.
DOUBLE SCRUB
Floors which are heavily soiled or have thick
accumulation 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, the
solution on, and brushes down. This allows the
solution to stay in contract with the soil while
loosening the surface accumulation with the
brushes. Allow time for the first application to stay in
contact with 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. Caution should be
used when double scrubbing, maintain safe driving
speed on wet floors.

1. BATTERIES
The batteries provide the power to operate the
machine. The batteries require regular maintenance
to keep them operating at peak efficiency.
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
case. Do not operate the machine if the batteries
are in poor condition or if they have a charge level
below 25%, specific gravity below 1.177.
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 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.

3. SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the squeegee is a two-part process. First,
the squeegee tool must have correct pitch in order
for the squeegee blade to have the same deflection
at each tip as well as the center. The pitch
adjustment is facilitated by the use of a spirit level
mounted on the squeegee tool. The second
adjustment is the amount of deflection or down
pressure on the squeegee.
TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn on the key
switch, release the machine parking brake,
lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2
feet (60 cm).
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine and
set the parking brake. Do not allow the machine
to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
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 tool. This
should correspond to the bubble being in the
middle position of the spirit level.
4. To decrease the deflection of the squeegee
blade at the ends, turn knob on squeegee
trailing arm clockwise. To increase the deflection
at the ends of the squeegee assembly, turn
knob counter clockwise.
5. Again check the deflection of the squeegee
blades. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the
deflection is equal across the entire rear
squeegee blade.
TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE DEFLECTION
3/8”
PROPER DEFLECTION OF SQUEEGEE BLADE
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the
squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet.
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine and
set the parking brake. Do not allow the 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 3/8in (9.5 mm) across the entire
width of the squeegee.
4. To increase the squeegee defection, turn the
knobs over the squeegee floor wheels
counterclockwise. To decrease the squeegee
defection turn the knob over the squeegee floor
wheels clockwise. Each knob can be adjusted
separately to insure that the blade curls evenly
from end to end.
5. Turn on the key switch, release the parking
brake. Raise, then lower squeegee assembly.
Drive forward at least 2 feet.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until deflection of 3/8
in (9.5 mm) is reached.
