SPECIAL NOTES:
The sound pressure level at the operator’s ear
was measured to be 68 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.
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.

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
STRIDE2 36V (SS) 98745 11/08/99
3-3
The Stride2 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 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 floor. The self-
adjusting scrub deck skirt controls the cleaning
solution on the floor so that the squeegee can
pick it up. The brush pressure switch controls an
actuator, which raises and lowers the scrub deck.
The brush pressure indicator corresponds to the
amp draw of the scrub brush motors to tell how
hard they are working.
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.
