How This Machine Works

The Chariot® 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
an optional chemical metering pump and reservoir are
available. 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 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 floor.
The disk scrub system consists of two rotary type disk
scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt and lift
actuator. 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 skirt controls the cleaning solution on the
floor so that the squeegee can pick it up.

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, float
ball filter, recovery tank. 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
float ball filter protects the vacuum fan from debris and
shuts off suction to the tank when tank is full. 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.
