FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Vacuum / Recovery System General
Dirt and water are lifted off the floor into the recovery tank by airflow, created by a 3-Stage 24V or 36V vacuum motor. The wastewater and air
enter the vacuum system at the squeegee tool, through small openings (notches) located in the front squeegee blade. The small openings are
the entrance points for the water and air, and help speed up the airflow producing the suction to lift the wastewater off of the floor. The air and
wastewater move through the squeegee hose at high speed until it reaches the recovery tank. There the air slows down because of the increased
volume (large size) of tank. With the decreased air speed the heavier water falls to the bottom of the recovery tank. Then at the same time the
airflow continues through the tank, shutoff float, vacuum motor and is exhausted out of the vacuum exhaust hose. No wastewater ever actually
moves through the vacuum motor, just clean air.
The vacuum system uses a shutoff float to prevent the tank from being overfilled and stops any water from being sucked into the vacuum motor.
