HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

SABER 36V (SX) 98739 10/25/99 3-3 The Saber SX 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. There are two types of scrub systems available – disk and cylindrical. The disk scrub system consists of two rotary type disk scrub brushes, motors, self-adjusting scrub deck skirt, lift actuator 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 the floor. The self- adjusting scrub deck skirt controls the cleaning solution on the floor so that the squeegee can pick it up. The brush motor/lift switch controls the motors and lift actuator to turn the motors on and lower the deck, or turn the motors off and raise the deck. The brush pressure switch controls the down pressure on the scrub deck. The cylindrical scrub system consists of two rotary cylindrical scrub brushes, motors, debris hopper, lift actuator and controls. The cylindrical scrub head is designed to eliminate debris that may be caught in the squeegee while scrubbing. The brushes scrub the floor and throw debris into the hopper. The motors drive the brushes. The brush motor/lift switch controls the motors and lift actuator to turn the motors on and lower the deck, or turn the motors off and raise the deck. The brush pressure switch controls the down pressure on the scrub 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, 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 filter protects the vacuum fan from debris and foam. The recovery tank stores the dirty solution. The float switch in the tank activates the recovery tank full indicator and shuts off the vacuum motor. The function of the directional control system is to control the direction and speed of the machine. The directional control system consists of the directional control lever, switches, speed control knob/potentiometer, controller and transaxle. The directional control lever actuates switches, which signal forward or reverse. 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.

1. SOLUTION CONTROL KNOB Controls solution flow to scrub deck. To increase flow, rotate knob clockwise. To decrease flow, rotate knob counterclockwise. If the brush motors are turned off or the direction control lever is in neutral, the flow is automatically interrupted until the motors are turned on again. This feature prevents unintentional draining of the solution tank and allows the operator to adjust the solution flow to the scrub deck without resetting each time the scrubbing operation is interrupted. 2. ONE TOUCH SWITCH Controls the scrub brushes and vacuum. To start scrubbing, press the switch. The brush drive motors will turn on, the scrub deck will lower to the “light scrub” position, and the vacuum motor will turn on. If machine is equipped with the Auto Squeegee Lift Option, and the squeegee lift handle is in the lowered position, the indicator will light to indicate the scrub brushes are on. This indicator will flash while the scrub deck is lowering, and whenever it is adjusting to brush pressure changes. The Brush Pressure “light scrub” indicator will light, and the Squeegee/Vacuum Indicator will light to show the vacuum motor is on. If the direction control lever is in the neutral position, the brushes will turn off after approximately a 2-second delay. If the One Touch Switch is activated without brushes installed, the brush motors will stop, the deck will rise, and the four Brush Pressure Indicator lights will flash. To stop scrubbing, press the switch. The brush drive motors will turn off immediately, the scrub deck will rise, the squeegee will rise (if equipped with Auto Squeegee Lift Option), after approximately a 15 second delay, and the vacuum motor will turn off after and additional 15 second delay. 3. VACUUM/SQUEEGEE SWITCH Controls the vacuum motor, and squeegee position (if equipped with Auto Squeegee Lift Option). To start vacuum motor, press the switch.

3-9 PRE-RUN MACHINE INSPECTION Do a pre-run inspection to find possible problems that could cause poor performance or lost time from breakdown. Follow the same procedure each time to avoid missing steps. NOTE: See maintenance section for pre-run machine inspection checklist items. STARTING MACHINE NOTE: Perform pre-run machine check before operating machine. FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make sure that all safety devices are in place and operating properly. 1. Turn the machine power on. 2. Release the parking brake. 3. Move the direction control lever in the desired direction. EMERGENCY STOP PROCEDURES 1. Release the directional control lever. 2. Turn machine power off with key switch. 3. If an electrical problem is suspected push in emergency stop button. 4. Set the parking brake. NOTE: Turning the key switch off during normal running operation will stop all motors and lift actuators. When the key is turned back on the systems will assume they are in the normal parked mode (scrub deck up, squeegee up, and motors off). Any switch command will send the selected system to the working position regardless of the position it was in when the key switch was turned off. Two touches of the respective switch are required to raise the scrub deck and squeegee and turn off motors. This is normal. No damage to machine will result. FILLING SOLUTION TANK FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 1. Turn the machine power off. 2. Set the parking brake. 3. Remove solution tank cover. 4. Fill the solution tank with clean water, leaving enough room for the required amount of cleaning solution. The solution tank capacity filled to 2” (5cm) from bottom of fill inlet is 35 gallons (132 liters). The water must not be hotter than 140° F (60°C) to prevent damage to the tank. 5. Measure the chemical into the solution tank. Liquid chemicals should be added to the solution tank after filling with water. Dry chemicals should be thoroughly mixed before being added into solution tank. Commercially available, high alkaline floor cleaners, are suitable for use in the solution system. NOTE: Read the chemical manufacturers recommended proportion instructions. 6. Replace solution tank cover. Flammable materials can cause an explosion or fire. Do not use flammable materials in the tanks. NORMAL SCRUBBING Plan the scrubbing pattern in advance. The longest track is around the perimeter of the area to be cleaned. For efficient operation, the runs should be the longest possible without turning, stopping, or raising and lowering scrub deck/squeegee. NOTE: In order to achieve the best possible results, the area which is to be cleaned should be swept before scrubbing. Large debris, strings & wire must be removed to prevent being caught in brushes or squeegee. ! WARNING

SABER 36V (SX) 98739 10/25/99

3-10 TO BEGIN SCRUBBING When operating the machine around people, pay close attention for unexpected movement. Use extra caution around children. Flammable liquids and/or reactive metals can cause explosions or fire! Do not pick up. 1. Turn the machine power on. 2. Lower the squeegee. 3. Release the parking brake. 4. Press the one touch switch. 5. Drive machine forward to begin scrubbing. NOTE: Shut machine off immediately if water or foam is expelled from the machine. 6. Adjust the speed of the machine, solution flow and scrub brush pressure as necessary. NOTE: Once solution flow rate is set it is not necessary to shut off solution when stopping scrubbing. Solution flow is automatically shut off when brush motors stop. When brush motors are activated, flow automatically resumes. TO STOP SCRUBBING 1. Release the directional control lever. 2. Press the one touch switch. 3. Set the parking brake. 4. Raise the squeegee. 5. Turn the machine power off. DOUBLE SCRUB Floors which are heavily soiled or have thick accumulations of floor finish may not clean sufficiently with one pass. In these cases it will be necessary to double scrub. To double scrub, make the first pass over the surface being cleaned with the squeegee up, vacuum off, the solution on, and brushes down. This allows the solution to stay in contact with the soil while loosening the surface accumulation with the brushes. Allow time for the first application to stay in contact with the floor. Length of time between the first and second pass depends on amount of accumulation and the type of chemical being used. A second scrubbing with the squeegee down and again the solution and brushes on will further loosen soil. The additional application of solution will further assist the difficult cleaning job. FOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slow on inclines and slippery services. EMPTYING AND CLEANING TANKS 1. Park the machine next to a floor drain. Drain hose is on left rear corner of the machine. 2.

4-1 BATTERIES 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. Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers open when charging. Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with batteries. Charge batteries in a well ventilated area. 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. CHECKING BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific gravity. CHECKING GRAVITY A. Hydrometer B. Battery NOTE: Do not take readings immediately after adding distilled water, if the water and acid are not thoroughly mixed, the reading may not be accurate. Check the hydrometer readings against this chart.

4-3 SCRUB BRUSHES NOTE: All original equipment brushes are equipped with “Perform Alert”. This feature will tell the operator when it is time to replace the scrub brushes. “Perform Alert” brushes have pre- trimmed bright yellow tufts to indicate the length of a worn out brush. When the tufts in the scrub brush wear to a length equal to the yellow tufts, the scrub brushes should be replaced. There are five 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 and further add to the flexibility of the machine. 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. Nylon is a general-purpose scrub brush with stiff bristles. Polypropylene works well for maintaining concrete, wood and tile floors. FINISHED FLOORS Nylon Polish is the softest brush. It will gently clean finished tile or terrazzo floors without removing floor finish or floor material. Used for washing highly polished or burnished 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. Brown 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. The scrub brushes should be replaced if brush bristles are missing or if yellow Perform Alert  indicates minimum brush length. REPLACING OR INSTALLING DISK SCRUB BRUSHES 1. With the scrub deck up, turn “OFF” the machine and set parking brake. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the machine; stop on level surface, turn OFF machine and remove key. 2. Locate release lever on top of brush or pad driver. Rotate release lever counter-clockwise and the brush/pad driver will release and drop down. 3. To reinstall, center the brush driver under the brush drive hub. Raise until it contacts brush driver assembly. Turn clockwise until release lever plate locks into position. NOTE: Check that release plate is completely closed and pad/brush is securely attached. Damage to driver or brush could occur. 4. Repeat the procedure for the opposite side of machine.

4-4 CYLINDRICAL SCRUB SYSTEM The dual cylindrical scrub head is designed to eliminate debris that may be caught in the squeegee while scrubbing. Water is applied to the first scrubbing brush turning in a clockwise rotation when viewed from the right or operator’s side of machine. The first brush scrubs dirt and debris between the brushes. The second scrubbing brush, turning in a counter clockwise rotation, picks up debris and throws it into a removable hopper. The larger debris which might catch under the squeegee is collected in the hopper. Water is allowed to drain out the hopper into the squeegee path where it is recovered from the floor. The design of the touch panel permits the same automatic operating procedure as the disc machine. DUMPING HOPPER The removable hopper is located behind the rear scrub brush. Remove the hopper by sliding it our from the right side of the machine. The hopper can then be dumped from the top or the left side door can be removed to dump debris from the end. The side door is also convenient for flushing the hopper clean. MAINTENANCE The brushes should wear evenly side to side if properly adjusted. Scrub brushes should be exchanged front to back every 50 hours to ensure even wear. It is not necessary to rotate end for end since swapping front to back puts the brushes in the opposite rotation as well as balancing wear. Scrub brushes should be replaced as a set when bristle length wears to height of yellow Perform Alert  bristle. SCRUB BRUSH REMOVAL The scrub brushes are removed from the sides of the machine. The front is removed from the right side and the rear is removed from the left side. 1. Unlatch idler side door. 2. Pull out on top of door until lip on door clears brush head. 3. Push down on door until hooks on door are free of scrub head. 4. Pull out on door with a rocking motion to free idler door from end of brush. 5. Pull brush out with a rocking motion to free brush from drive hub. SCRUB BRUSH REPLACEMENT 1. Observe location of drive hub lugs. It is usually easier to position the lugs to the 12 o’clock – 6 o’clock position (vertical) or 9 o’clock – 3 o’clock position (horizontal). 2. Orient brush notches to match the position of the drive hub lugs and slide onto hub. 3. Push brush until a positive stop is felt. The idler plate cannot be installed until the brush is fully seated on the drive hub. 4. Allow idler end of brush to drop below scrub deck. Align lugs on idler hub with notches in brush and fully insert hub into brush. 5. Line up hook on idler door with notches on side of scrub head. 6. Slide idler door up until lip rests on top of scrub head. 7. Latch door into position.

4-5 CYLINDRICAL SCRUB SCRUB DECK ADJUSTMENT Scrub deck adjustment consists of two types of adjustments. The first is to insure the individual brushes make the same width pattern end to end. Any tapered brush pattern should be adjusted out. The second is to make the pattern of equal width between the front and rear brushes. Unequal patterns are caused by the scrub deck not being parallel to the floor. Proper adjustments is obtained when the contact pattern of the brushes on the floor shows two approximately 1” (2.5 cm) wide rectangles the length of the brushes. TESTING ADJUSTMENT OF BRUSHES 1. Move machine to an unfinished area of floor to avoid marking finish. 2. With water valve off, set parking brake, and lower scrub head to floor. Allow brushes to run until automatic shut off occurs. It may be necessary to extend this step in the same location until a good mark can be seen on the floor. This can be accomplished by setting speed control knob to lowest setting and holding direction control lever. 3. Raise the scrub deck and note the brush patterns on the floor. There should be two rectangles with parallel side. If the pattern is tapered, proceed as follows. ADJUSTMENT OF INDIVIDUAL BRUSHES Adjustment of individual brushes is accomplished by adjusting idler hub position on door. The mounting hole in the idler hub shaft is eccentrically located such that the idler hub position can be changed by rotating the shaft orientation. 1. Determine if idler is to be moved up or down to balance the pattern. 2. Remove idler door on brush to be balanced. 3. Measure distance of shaft from top of door and record. 4. Loosen hex socket head screw on outside of door. 5. Rotate shaft to new position. Hold shaft in position. 6. Tighten hex socket head screw. 7. Install door on machine. 8. Re-test and re-adjust as necessary. LEVELING THE SCRUB HEAD Leveling the cylindrical head is accomplished by adjusting the scrub head lift linkage. The upper lift linkage can be adjusted by loosening the jam nuts at each end of rods and rotating rods to extend or shorten their length. To increase pattern width of front brush, extend linkages. To increase pattern width of rear brush, shorten linkages. Be sure to adjust both linkages equally and to tighten jam nuts after adjustments are complete. BELT REPLACEMENT 1. Remove scrub brushes. 2. Remove four screws securing broom drive seal and retainer. 3. Slacken belt tension by means of jack bolt under motor. 4. The drive hub may be unscrewed from the inside. Flats are provided on end of pulley shaft to facilitate removal. 5. Place belt on motor pulley then pull down into scrub head. 6. Insert drive hub from inside of scrub head and through lower loop of belt. 7. Screw shaft into side of scrub head. 8. Re-tension belt to deflect 1/8” (3 mm) at center of span when a pressure of 4 (1.8 kg) pounds is applied. 9. Install broom drive seal and retainer. 10. Install scrub brushes.

4-6 SQUEEGEE BLADES There are three sets of front and rear squeegee blades available. There are three different notch patterns and three different colors for varying floor conditions. Linatex squeegees are for industrial settings. See squeegee parts list for part numbers. The front squeegee blade allows solution to pass through channels in the blade into the squeegee tool while maintaining vacuum to provide lift. The front blade has four wear surfaces and can be rotated for extended life. The red linatex blade has the most notches and is for normal, smooth surfaces. The blue blades has less notches and is for rougher or tiled surfaces. The green blade has no notches and is for very rough floors such as knobby tile or uneven tile. The front blade should not require regular replacement under normal use. The rear blade wipes the floor to a near dry condition. It is important the rear blade be in good condition to properly do its job. As with the front blades there are 3 rear blade options; red linatex, blue and green. Front and rear blades should be color matched. Each squeegee blade has four wear surfaces for extended service. Check both the front and rear squeegee blades for damage, wear, and adjustment each day in the pre- run check. Change the front blade if it is torn or has an uneven edge. Change the rear blade if it is less than ½ the original thickness. NOTE: An optional rear urethane blade is available for industrial settings that have oil or chemical based products. ADJUSTING SQUEEGEE Adjusting the squeegee is a two-part process. First, the squeegee tool must have correct pitch in order for the squeegee blade to have the same deflection at each tip as well as the center. The pitch adjustment is facilitated by the use of a spirit level mounted on the squeegee tool. The second adjustment is the amount of deflection or down pressure on the squeegee. The ideal deflection is conveniently marked by colors on the squeegee tool according to the type of floor and squeegee blade employed. TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH 1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn on the key switch, release the machine parking brake, lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60 cm). 2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine and set the parking brake. Do not allow the machine to roll back. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 3. Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of the squeegee blade between each end and the middle. Proper adjustment is obtained when deflection is equal all the way across tool. This should correspond to the bubble being in the middle position of the spirit level. 4. To decrease the deflection of the squeegee blade at the ends, clockwise turn knob on squeegee trailing arm. To increase the deflection at the ends of the squeegee assembly, turn knob counter clockwise. 5. Again check the deflection of the squeegee blades. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the deflection is equal across the entire rear squeegee blade. TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE DEFLECTION 1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet. 2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine and set the parking brake. Do not allow the machine to roll back. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 3. Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It should deflect 3/8in (9.5 mm) across the entire width of the squeegee. 4. To adjust the squeegee deflection, loosen knob on the squeegee slide bar. 5. Slide bar to left increases deflection. Sliding bar to right decreases deflection. 6. Tighten knob on squeegee slide bar. 7. Turn on the key switch, release the parking brake. Raise, then lower squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least 2 feet. 8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 until deflection of 3/8 in (9.5 mm) is reached. 3/8” PROPER DEFLECTION OF SQUEEGEE BLADE
