HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
CUTTER 24V 86039080 04/17/07
3-3
The Saber Cutter is a battery powered, self-
propelled, hard floor scrubber intended for
commercial use. The appliance applies a
cleaning solution onto a hard floor, scrubs the
floor with brushes, and then vacuums the soiled
water back into the recovery tank.
The machine's primary systems are the solution
system, scrub system, recovery system, and
directional control system.
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
valve is 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 by controlling the
amount of time the valve is open.
The function of the scrub system is to scrub the
floor. The scrub system consists of two rotary
type disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt,
lift mechanism and controls. The brushes scrub
the floor and the motors drive the brushes. The
brush drive hubs allow the scrub brushes to follow
irregularities and changes in the floor without
loosing contact with floor. The scrub deck skirt
controls the cleaning solution on the floor so that
the squeegee can pick it up. The brush lift
mechanisms are controls used to raise and lower
the deck.
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, float ball filter, 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 recovery tank stores the dirty solution. The
float ball filter protects the vacuum fan from debris
and shuts off air going to the recovery tank when
tank is full. When flow of air is shut off the vacuum
motor will continue to run. At this time the
recovery tank must be drained.
The function of the directional control system is to
control the direction and speed of the machine.
The directional control system consists of the
propel control buttons, reverse button, speed
control knob/potentiometer, controller and
transaxle. The propel controls actuate switches
which cause the machine to move forward. For
reverse motion depress the reverse button while
depressing one of the propel controls. The speed
control knob actuates a potentiometer, which
signals speed. The controller interprets the
forward/reverse signals from the switches and the
speed signal from the potentiometer to command
the transaxle to propel the machine in the
direction, and at the speed, desired.
