This machine is a multi-functional cleaning
machine intended for commercial use. The
appliance applies chemical at low pressure and
uses high pressure to clean with. Then the
soiled water is vacuumed back into the
recovery tank.
The machine's primary systems are the clean
water system, recovery system, chemical
system and pressure washer system.
The function of the clean water system is to
store clean water and deliver it to the available
tools. The clean water system consists of the
clean water tank and strainer. The clean water
tank stores water until it is delivered to the
tools. The strainer protects the pump from
debris.
The function of the recovery system is to
vacuum the soiled water back into the recovery
tank. The recovery system consists of the
wand and wheeled squeegee, vacuum motor,
float shut-off and recovery tank. The wand and
wheeled squeegee wipes the dirty solution off
the floor. The vacuum motor provides suction
to draw the dirty solution off the floor and into
the recovery tank. The float shut-off protects
the vacuum fan from over filling. The recovery
tank stores the dirty solution.
The function of the chemical system is to
dispense chemical into the clean water system.
The chemical system consists of the chemical
reservoir, chemical cap and a chemical-
metering selector. The chemical reservoir
stores and dispenses chemical into the clean
water system. The chemical-metering selector
meters the amount of chemical and selects
between chemical A or B and turn chemical off.
The function of pressure washer system is to
clean fixtures and other surfaces. The pressure
washer system consists of a pump, high-
pressure hose and spray gun. The pump
delivers cleaning solution to the tools. The
high-pressure hose connects the pump to the
spray gun.
