Operation
Operating personnel must read
the operating manual through
carefully. Operating personnel
should complete their initial test
drive on open ground or a test
track until they are familiar with
the individual operating elements
and the respective functions.
3.1
Method of operation
The Admiral 38C is a scrubber-drier
designed for wet cleaning rough and struc-
tured hard floors inside buildings, such as
multi-storey car parks or in logistics and
industrial areas (refer to Fig. 11). It cleans
floors by means of intensive scrubbing
with the aid of a water and cleaning agent
solution. The squeegee at the rear of the
vehicle vacuums up the waste water into
the recovery tank in the same working
process. The Admiral 38C is a ride-on
machine designed for the economic clean-
ing of large floor areas in buildings. A seat
contact ensures that the vehicle can only
be operated when an operator is seated
on the driver’s seat.

The most important vehicle elements are
described below:
3.1.1
Rotary brush head
(Fig. 12/2)
The two rotary brushes, which can be
changed without the need for any tools,
in the rotary brush head provide a high
cleaning performance. The solution sup-
ply starts automatically when the rotary
brush head is lowered. The solution is
sprayed onto the floor to be cleaned by
means of three nozzles. At the same time,
the contra-rotating rotary brushes start to
rotate. They then scrub the floor in such a
way that even dirt which has penetrated
more deeply is removed. The two rotary
brushes are each driven by a splashproof
electric motor. The contra-rotating motion
of the rotary brushes also picks up coarse
dirt and throws it into the downstream
waste container (sweeping function). In
addition to the cleaning effect, this also
ensures that coarse dirt, such as cable
ties, cigarette ends etc., does not slide
under the sealing strip of the squeegee
and, thus, impair the vacuuming results.
The waste water left over is then removed
by the squeegee which follows
on.
