HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
The Saber Cutter 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 directional 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 knob 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 scrub system consists of two rotary type disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt, lift mechanism and controls. The brushes scrub the floor and 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 floor. The scrub deck skirt controls the cleaning solution on the floor so that the squeegee can pick it up. The brush lift mechanisms are controls used to raise and lower the 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, float ball 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 recovery tank stores the dirty solution. The float ball filter protects the vacuum fan from debris and shuts off air going to the recovery tank when tank is full. When flow of air is shut off the vacuum motor will continue to run. At this time the recovery tank must be drained.
The function of the directional control system is to control the direction and speed of the machine. The directional control system consists of the propel control buttons, reverse button, speed control knob/potentiometer, controller and transaxle. The propel controls actuate switches which cause the machine to move forward. For reverse motion depress the reverse button while depressing one of the propel controls. The speed control knob actuates a potentiometer, which signals speed. The controller interprets the forward/reverse signals from the switches and the speed signal from the potentiometer to command the transaxle to propel the machine in the direction, and at the speed, desired.
