How This Machine Works
The Chariot® 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 operator
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
an optional chemical metering pump and reservoir are
available. 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 automatically prevents solution flow unless
the scrub brushes are turned on and the machine is
being propelled.
The function of the scrub system is to scrub the floor.
The disk scrub system consists of two rotary type disk
scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt and lift
actuator. The brushes scrub the floor as 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 the floor. The
scrub deck skirt controls the cleaning solution on the
floor so that the squeegee can pick it up.

12

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. 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
float ball filter protects the vacuum fan from debris and
shuts off suction to the tank when tank is full. The
recovery tank stores the dirty solution.
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 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 steps off the
platform. The emergency stop/brake can be used to
hold the machine on slopes.

Maintenance
Batteries (Wet Cell Only)
The batteries provide the power to operate the
machine. The batteries require regular maintenance to
keep them operating at peak efficiency.
The machine batteries will hold their charge for long
periods of time, but they can only be charged a certain
number of times. To get the greatest life from the
batteries, charge them when their charge level reaches
25% of a full charge. Use a hydrometer to check the
charge level.
Do not allow the batteries to remain in a discharged
condition for any length of time. Never expose a
discharged battery to temperatures below freezing.
Discharged batteries will freeze causing cracked
cases. Do not operate the machine if the batteries are
in poor condition or if they have a charge level below
25% (specific gravity below 1.155).
Keep all metallic objects off the top of the batteries, as
they may cause a short circuit. Replace worn or
damaged cables and terminals.
Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell before
and after charging the batteries. Never add acid to the
batteries, use distilled water. Do not allow water level
to fall below the battery plates. Portions of plates
exposed to air will be destroyed. Do not overfill. Keep
plugs firmly in place at all times.

When servicing machine, avoid contact with
battery acid.

Lors de l'entretien de la machine, évitez tout
contact avec l'acide de batterie.

Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can
result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep
covers open when charging.

Les batteries émettent du gaz hydrogène. Une
explosion ou un incendie peut en résulter.
Maintenez les étincelles et les flammes nues à
l’écart. Gardez les carters ouverts lors du chargement.

Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
working with batteries.

Portez des lunettes de protection et des vêtements
de protection lorsque vous travaillez avec des
batteries.

Charge batteries in a well ventilated area.

Chargez les batteries dans un endroit bien ventilé.

Battery Maintenance
1. When cleaning the batteries, use a solution of
baking soda and water. Do not allow the cleaning
fluid to enter the battery cells, electrolyte will be
neutralized.
2. Maintain the proper electrolyte level in each battery
cell. If a cell should accidentally overflow, clean
immediately.
3. Wipe off the top of the batteries at least once a
week.
4. Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least
once a week.
5. Ensure that all connections are tight and all
corrosion removed.
6. Every 4 to 6 months, remove that batteries from
the machine and clean the battery cases and
battery compartment.

Not all batteries require maintenance. AGM
batteries are maintenance free. Do not attempt to
remove sealed caps from AGM batteries. Warranty
is void if caps are removed from AGM battery.

Scrub Brushes
There are four different types of brushes available to
cover applications from cleaning heavily soiled floors to
polishing. A pad driver is also available to take
advantage of the many cleaning pads on the market.
Please refer to the following to assist in selecting the
proper brush or pad for the work at hand.

Uncoated Floors
Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with
silicone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and
removes surface material.
Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit
suitable for cleaning medium soil conditions. Advantages are faster ground speed than nylon bristles on
light solid applications.
Polypropylene is a general-purpose scrub brush with
stiff bristles. Polypropylene works well for maintaining
concrete, wood and tile floors.

Finished Floors
Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications on
coated or uncoated surfaces.
White Pads (Polishing) are used for dry polishing to
achieve a high-gloss appearance, or surface washing
on highly polished or burnished floors.
Red Pads (Buffing) are used for light-duty scrubbing.
When used with a mild detergent they will provide
surface cleaning without removing the finish.
Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty
scrubbing and light stripping. The blue pads remove
less finish than brown stripping pads, yet will remove
black marks, stains and dirt.
Black Pads (Stripping) are used for easy and complete
removal of old floor waxes/finishes. They will quickly
remove ground in dirt, black heel marks, and spills.
When used with the proper stripper, this pad leaves the
floor clean and ready for finishing.
The scrub brushes should be checked before each
days work for wire, string, wear and damage.

Scrub Deck Actuator Adjustment

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine,
stop on a level surface. Turn off machine.

To adjust the actuator:

1. Remove the two screws that secure actuator
spring plate and pull actuator barrel from stud on
actuator spring bracket.

1. While holding actuator barrel to prevent it from
spinning, apply power to the actuator such that it is
fully extended. Positive power to white wire, and
negative/ground to black. Limit switch within
actuator will stop it.

2. Remove clevis pin from upper bracket of actuator.
3. Disconnect actuator from wiring harness.
4. Reverse steps to install.

The actuator will need to be adjusted when replaced.

2. Turn barrel out one or more full turns to assure that
when it is retracted it will not bind against itself.
3. While holding actuator barrel to prevent it from
spinning, apply power to the actuator such that it is
fully retracted. Positive power to black wire, and
negative/ground to white wire. Limit switch within
actuator will stop it.
4. With actuator fully retracted, turn barrel in until it
touches the base of the threaded shaft.
5. At the bottomed out position, turn the barrel one full
turn, then enough more to allow connection to lift
linkage.
6. Connect actuator to lift linkage.
7. Check travel of actuator during operation.

2. To clean the float shut-off while it is inside the
machine wipe material off screen then rinse. Check
that the ball is also clean and moves freely.
3. To remove the float shut-off, tilt and pull the float
screen assembly off the tank fitting barb.
4. To install, tilt and push the float screen assembly
over the tank fitting barb.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine, stop on a level surface, turn off machine
and disconnect power.

To Repair or Replace Vacuum Motor
1. Remove rear cover from machine.
2. Remove upper control panel.

If armature commutator is grooved, extremely pitted or not
concentric, the motor will need to be replaced or sent to a
qualified service center.

Inportant:
These brushes wear quicker as the length shortens due to
increased heat. Spring inside brush housing will damage
motor if brushes are allowed to wear away completely.

3. Remove three screws on lower panel and hinge
panel down.
4. Disconnect electrical connector from the vacuum
motor.
5. From topside, remove one nut in front of vacuum
motor.

Periodically check the length of the carbon brushes. Replace
both carbon brushes when either is less tan 3/8" (9.5mm)
long.

6. From backside, support vacuum motor and remove
two remaining nuts on vacuum housing.
7. Lower vacuum motor, remove front rubber isolator
from stub. Pull vacuum motor and upper housing
out of machine. Lower housing and hoses stay with
machine.
8. Remove upper housing from vacuum motor by
removing four screws.
9. Reverse steps to install. Make sure that gasket is
