How This Machine Works
The Chariot 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 machines 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 operator can also control the pad
pressure by use of the pressure switch. 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 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 switch,
throttle pedal, speed control switch, drive reset switch,
emergency stop/brake switch, steering wheel, propel
controller and drive wheel.The directional control
switch signals forward or reverse direction. The
controller interprets signals from the throttle pedal to
command the drive wheel to propel or slow the
machine. The drive reset switch is to make sure the
operator is on platform before machine will propel. The
steering wheel points the drive wheel in the direction
desired by the operator. The parking brake automati-
cally engages when the operator steps off the platform.
The emergency stop/brake can be used to hold the
machine on slopes.
