HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

The Saber Glide 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
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.

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.
