How This Machine Works

The Chariot® iExtract® 26 is a battery powered, self-
propelled 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 counter-
rotating brushes with no solution recovery. Deep
extraction applies solution at a high flow rate agitated
by counter-rotating brushes and recovered by the dual
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 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, lift actuator, and controls. The brushes scrub the
carpet as the motor drives the brushes. The counter-
rotating action of the brushes applies and agitates the
solution into the carpet.

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 makes 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 used to
hold the machine on slopes.
NOTE: Impact to machine may cause damage.
