Operation
How This Machine Works
The Chariot® iGloss 20 is a battery powered, self-
propelled, hard floor burnisher intended for commercial
use. The appliance spins a high-speed burnishing pad
in contact with the floor surface to produce a high luster
shine.
The machine's primary systems are the burnishing
system, the dust control system, and the operator
control system.
The function of the burnishing system is to spin a high-
speed burnishing pad in contact with a floor surface
that has had a burnishable floor finish applied. The
burnishing pad can be lowered to the floor and raised
by the operator. The burnishing pad will spin only when
the machine is directed to move by the operator.
The function of the dust control system is to collect the
dust that is created during the burnishing process. It is
normal for a portion of the floor finish to be removed in
the form of dust during the process. While burnishing,
air movement is created within the burnishing head by
the spinning pad. The dust that is also created is
entrained in the air stream and transported to a filter
bag where it is collected and separated from the air
stream. The filter bag can be easily changed without
releasing the collected dust. The optional active dust
control system uses a vacuum motor to improve dust
collection before, during, and after burnishing.
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, throttle pedal, emergency stop/brake
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 the platform before machine will propel.
The controller interprets signals from 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 parking brake
automatically engages when the operator stops the
machine. The emergency stop/brake can be used to
hold the machine on slopes.
