HOW THIS MACHINE WORKS

The Chariot is a battery powered, self propelled, hard floor burnisher intended for commercial use. The appliance spins a high-speed burnishing pad in contact with the floor surface to produce a high luster shine.

The machines primary systems are the burnishing system, the dust control system and the operator control system.

The function of the burnishing system is to spin a high-speed burnishing pad in contact with a floor surface that has had a burnishable floor finish applied. The burnishing pad can be lowered to the floor and raised by the operator, the operator can also control the pad pressure by use of the control knob. The burnishing pad will spin only when the machine is directed to move by the operator.

The function of the dust control system is to collect the dust that is created during the burnishing process. It is normal for a portion of the floor finish to be removed in the form of dust during the process. While burnishing, air movement is created within the burnishing head by the spinning pad. The dust that is also created is entrained in the air stream and transported to a filter bag where it is collected and separated from the air stream. The filter bag can be easily changed without releasing the collected dust.

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, operator presence pedal, speed control switch, drive reset switch, emergency stop/brake switch, steering wheel, propel controller, and drive wheel. 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 operator presence pedal is to make sure the operator keeps both feet safely on platform while driving. 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.
