The weighted root mean square acceleration at the
operator’s arms was measured to be below 2.5m/s2 .
This was a tri-axial, third-octave-band measurement
made during normal operation on a composite tile
floor. The measurement and related calculations were
made in accordance with ANSI S3.34-1986.
SPECIAL NOTES:
The sound pressure level at the operator’s ear was
measured to be 72.3 dBA. This was a nearfield, broad-
band measurement taken in a typical industrial
environment on a tile floor. This appliance contains no
possible source of impact noise. The instantaneous
sound pressure level is below 63 Pa.

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
SGJ32 86037680 01/03/07
3-3
The Saber Glide 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 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 switch 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 disk scrub systems consists of two rotary type
disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt, lift
actuator and controls. 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 skirts and side squeegees
control the cleaning solution on the floor so that the
squeegee can pick it up. The one touch 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, shuts off the scrub motors and
solution flow, raises the scrub deck then squeegee,
and shuts off vacuum motor.
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/speed control pedal, steering wheel, brake
pedal, propel controller, and drive wheel. The
direction/speed pedal signals forward or reverse
direction and speed. The controller interprets signals
from the direction/speed 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 brake can be used to hold the
machine on slopes.
