HOW IT WORKS
The Model 1465, 1480, and 1490 are walk-behind
scrubbers.
The machines are propelled by a dual electric
motor system, and are equipped with power
steering. Twisting the steering handles moves the
machine forward or backward. Pulling the steering
handle nearest the direction of travel steers the
machine.
The main scrubbing components include a
solution tank, two disk-type brushes, a rear
squeegee, a vacuum fan, and a recovery tank.
Water and detergent solution flows from the
solution tank through the water control valve to
the scrub brushes. The rotating scrub brushes
scrub the floor. As the machine moves forward,
the rear squeegee collects the dirty solution and
channels it into the vacuum of the squeegee
pickup hose. The pickup hose deposits the dirty
solution in the recovery tank.
Machines with the ES
t
option filter the dirty
solution in the recovery tank and return it to the
solution tank.
