How This Machine Works
The Chariot® CV60/1 RS is a battery powered, self-
propelled, vacuum intended for commercial use. The
appliance vacuums debris and dirt from the floor and
collects it in the debris tray and disposable bag.
The machine's primary systems are the brush system,
vacuum system, and operator control system.
The function of the brush system is to brush the floor.
The brush system consists of two cylindrical type
brushes, brush motor, brush deck, side broom, side
broom motor and controls. The front brush turns
clockwise when viewed from the right side of the
machine. The rear brush turns counterclockwise. Both
brushes work to agitate the floor and to route the debris
up into the brush deck. The side broom rotates counter-
clockwise as viewed by the operator. The side broom
sweeps debris into the path of the brush deck.
The function of the vacuum system is to vacuum fine
dirt and debris into the vacuum bag, and large debris
into the debris tray. The vacuum system consists of the
debris tray, vacuum motor, vacuum filter and vacuum
bag. The debris tray captures the dirt off the floor as the
machine moves forward. The vacuum motor provides
suction to draw the fine dirt into the vacuum bag, and
the debris tray stores large debris. 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,
maximum speed knob, throttle pedal, emergency stop
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 maximum speed
knob and 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 brake automatically engages when the
operator steps off the platform, turns the key off, or
engages the emergency stop switch.
NOTE: Impact to machine may cause damage.
