Operations
How The Machine Works
The Saber Cutter 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.
The scrub system consists of three rotary type disk
scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt, lift mechanism,
swing mechanism 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 floor.
The scrub deck skirt controls the cleaning solution on
the floor so that the squeegee can pick it up. The brush
lift mechanisms are controls used to raise and lower the
deck. The brush swing mechanisms are controls used
to swing the deck in and out.
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum the
soiled water back into the recovery tank. The recovery
system consists of two squeegees, vacuum motor, float
ball filter, recovery tank and controls. The squeegees
wipe 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 recovery tank stores the dirty solution. The
float ball filter protects the vacuum fan from debris and
shuts off air going to the recovery tank when tank is full.
When flow of air is shut off the vacuum motor will
continue to run. At this time the recovery tank must be
drained.
The function of the directional control system is to
control the direction and speed of the machine. The
directional control system consists of the propel control
buttons, reverse button, speed control knob/potentiom-
eter, controller and transaxle. The propel controls
actuate switches which cause the machine to move
forward. For reverse motion depress the reverse
button while depressing one of the propel controls. 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.

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.

Operations
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.
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. Turn the vacuum on.
4. Select the scrub path width that you wish to clean
with.
5. Lower the scrub brushes to the floor.
6. Turn the scrub brushes on (brushes will start when
machine is propelled).
7. Drive machine forward to begin scrubbing.
NOTE: Shut machine off immediately if water or foam
is expelled from the machine.
8. 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 propel levers.
2. Turn the scrub brushes off.
3. Raise the scrub brushes.
4. Swing the outboard brush in.
5. Raise the squeegee.
6. Turn the vacuum off.
7. Turn the machine power off.

Operations
Double Scrub
For floors which are heavily soiled or have thick accu-
mulations of floor finish may not clean sufficiently with
one pass. In these cases it will be necessary to double
scrub.
1. To double scrub, make the first pass over the
surface being cleaned with both squeegees 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 both
squeegees 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. Turn the machine power off and set parking brake,
if your machine is equipped with this option.
Solution Tank
1. Loosen small drain hose from the retainer, then
lower hose in direction of the drain.
2. Remove the solution tank cover.
3. Flush the solution tank out with clean water and
run several gallons of clean water through
systems. Do not use water hotter than 140°F
(60°C) to clean tank. Damage may occur.
NOTE: Never allow solution to remain in tank.
Damage to tank, seals and valves could occur.
4. Secure drain hose into the retainer.
Recovery Tank
1. Unhook the large drain hose from the retainer.
Lower hose in direction of the drain then unscrew
the T-handle on plug enough to loosen plug. Do
not stand in front of end of hose. Recovered
solution will come out with force. Slowly remove
plug from drain hose.
2. Remove the recovery tank dome. Flush the
recovery tank out with clean water. Do not use
water hotter than 140°F (60°C) to clean tank.
Damage may occur.
3. Clean off the float shut-off system and inspect for
free movement of float. The float shut-off system is
located in the rear of the recovery tank.
4. Replace the drain plug and secure drain hose in
bracket.
5. If machine is to be stored, leave the recovery tank
dome off.
