Operation
How This Machine Works
The Chariot® iGloss 20 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 machine's 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 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 optional active dust
control system uses a vacuum motor to improve dust
collection before, during, and after burnishing.
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 the 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 stops the
machine. The emergency stop/brake can be used to
hold the machine on slopes.

Operation
1. KEY SWITCH
Controls the power for machine functions.
To turn the machine power on, rotate key clockwise.
To turn the machine off, rotate key counterclockwise.
When the key is turned on the battery symbol will flash once and stay on continuously.
2. EMERGENCY STOP/BRAKE SWITCH
This safety feature is designed to cut all power to the machine at any time and apply parking brake.
To shut the machine power off, push the Emergency Stop Switch, this will also engage the parking brake and
cause the machine to stop immediately.
To reset the machine, rotate the switch clockwise.
3. DIRECTIONAL CONTROL / DRIVE RESET SWITCH
This safety feature is designed to ensure safe engagement of propel drive. Each time the machine power is
turned on, or each time an operator steps on to the platform, the Drive Reset Switch must be pushed before
machine will propel.
The switch controls the direction of travel of the vehicle. The lighted arrow on the switch indicates direction of
travel.
To travel forward, press the top of the switch.
To travel in reverse, press the bottom of the switch.

Operation
4. THROTTLE PEDAL
Controls the speed of the vehicle within the speed control setting selected. Pressing the pedal causes the
machine to travel in the direction selected by the Directional Control Switch.
To increase speed, increase pressure on the pedal.
To decrease speed, decrease pressure on the pedal.
5. HORN BUTTON
The horn is activated by pressing the horn button.
6. STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel turns the front wheel causing the machine to change direction.
7. SPEED CONTROL
Controls the maximum speed of the machine. There are two settings, slow and fast.
To change speed, rotate the dial to either slow or fast position. The slow position is to the left (counterclock-
wise), fast to the right (top position).
The throttle pedal will always regulate the speed between 0 and maximum

Operation
8. BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR
Indicates the charge level of the batteries.
The indicator will be illuminated if the batteries have a sufficient charge. A slow, continuous flash indicates the
batteries require charging.
The Battery Lockout function will activate when the batteries are low.
Once active, the LED status indicator will begin to flash slowly and the controller will inhibit the burnisher motor.
The vacuum and drive remain functional. Return the unit to the charging station and charge the batteries.
NOTES: Continuing usage may damage the batteries.
When the machine is left overnight with less than a full charge, the display may initially indicate a full charge. It
will also indicate a full charge if the batteries are disconnected, then reconnected. After a few minutes of
operation the indicator will give the correct charge level.
9. HOUR METER
Records the number of hours the machine has been in burnishing operation. This information is useful in deter-
mining when to service the machine.
10. OPERATOR PRESENCE SWITCH
Must be pressed down prior to any machine functions enabled.
11. BAG PRESENT INDICATOR
Notifies operator if dust collection bag is missing. LED is red when bag is missing or not properly installed.
12. CHECK PAD INDICATOR
Notifies operator of potential problem with pad or missing pad. When LED is red, operator should remove pad
driver and verify pad condition and proper installation.
