HOW THIS MACHINE WORKS

The Chariot iExtract® is a battery powered, self-
propelled Carpet Extractor intended for commercial
use. The machine is designed to apply a cleaning
solution onto carpeted floor, sweep 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 consists of the solution tank,
strainer, pump, valve and controls. The solution tank
stores cleaning solution (water and detergent) until it
is delivered to the scrub system. The strainer
protects the pump from debris. The valve
automatically prevents solution flow unless the scrub
brushes are turned on and the machine is being
propelled. The solution pump switch controls the
cleaning solution flow to the spray jets/accessory
port.
The function of the scrub system is to sweep and
scrub the carpet and lift and groom the carpet pile.
The scrub system consists of two cylindrical
brushes, motors, hopper, lift actuator, and controls.
The brushes scrub the carpet as the motors drive
the brushes. The counter-rotating action of the
brushes picks up debris and throws it into a
removable hopper. The actuator switch controls the
lift actuator and brush motors to lower the deck and
turn the motors on, or raise the deck and turn the
motors off. The brush motors will automatically turn
off when the throttle pedal is in neutral.
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum the
soiled water back into the recovery tank. The
recovery system consists of the vacuum shoes,
vacuum motors, float ball filter, recovery bag 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 floor and into the recovery bag. The
float ball filter protects the vacuum fan from debris
and foam. The recovery bag 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 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(11*).
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.
