HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

The Saber Compact is a battery powered, hard floor scrubber intended for commercial use. The appliance applies a cleaning solution onto a hard floor, scrubs the floor with a brush, and then vacuums the soiled water back into the recovery tank.

The machine's primary systems are the solution system, scrub system, recovery system. The traction model has a directional control system as well.

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 non-traction model has a ball-type valve which controls the delivery of cleaning solution to the scrub system. The traction model has 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.

The function of the scrub system is to scrub the floor. The scrub system consists of a rotary type disk scrub brush, motor, self-adjusting scrub deck skirt, lift linkage and controls. The brush scrubs the floor and the motor drives the brush. The brush drive hub allows the scrub brush to follow irregularities and changes in the floor without loosing contact with floor. The self-adjusting scrub deck skirt controls the cleaning solution on the floor so that the squeegee can pick it up. The brush lift lever raises and lowers the scrub deck. On the traction model the brush lift lever can be locked into an increased brush pressured position.

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, screen, 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 screen protects the vacuum fan from debris. The recovery tank stores the dirty solution. The float ball in the tank activates when the recovery tank is full.

On the traction model, the function of the directional control system is to control the direction and speed of the machine. The directional control system consists of buttons, speed control knob/potentiometer, controller and transaxle. The speed control knob actuates a potentiometer, which signals speed. The controller interprets the forward/reverse signals from the buttons and the speed signal from the potentiometer to command the transaxle to propel the machine in the direction, and at the speed, desired.

The buttons on the control handles signal forward. When the reverse button on the control panel is pushed, in addition to either button on the control handles, reverse is signaled.
