measured to be 73 dBA (Basic) and 69 dBA (Deluxe).
This was a nearfield, broad-band measurement taken
on a carpeted 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.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowl-
edge, unless they have been given supervision or

How This machine Works
The Chariot® iVacuum™ is a battery powered, self-
propelled, carpet vacuum intended for commercial use.
The appliance vacuums debris and dirt from the carpet
and collects it in a disposable bag.
The machine's primary systems are the brush system,
vacuum system, and operator control system.
The function of the brush system is to brush the carpet.
The brush system consists of two cylindrical type
brushes, motor, brush deck, and controls.
The front brush turns clockwise when viewed from the
right side of the machine. The rear brush turns coun-
terclockwise. Both brushes work to agitate the carpet
and to route the debris up in to the central vacuum
nozzle.
The function of the vacuum system is to vacuum dirt
and debris into the vacuum bag. The recovery system
consists of the vacuum nozzle, vacuum motor, cloth
vacuum bag and paper vacuum bag. The vacuum
nozzle captures the dirt off the floor as the machine
moves forward. The vacuum motor provides suction to
draw the dirt into the vacuum bag. The vacuum bag
stores the dirt.
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 switch,
throttle pedal, speed control switch, drive reset switch,
emergency stop/brake switch, steering wheel, propel
controller, drive wheel and operator presence pedal
prior to Serial Number(17*). The directional control
switch signals forward or reverse direction. The
controller interprets signals from the throttle pedal to
command the drive wheel to propel or slow the
machine. The drive reset switch is to make sure the
operator is on platform before machine will propel. The
steering wheel points the drive wheel in the direction
desired by the operator. The parking brake automati-
cally engages when the operator steps off the platform.
The emergency stop/brake can be used to hold the
machine on slopes.

5. OPERATOR PRESENCE PEDAL - Prior to Serial Number (17*)
This safety feature is designed to ensure that the operator has their left foot on pedal platform whenever
machine is moving. The operator must have left foot on Operator Presence Pedal for machine to move.
6. SPEED CONTROL SWITCH
Controls the maximum speed of the machine. Speed 1 is intended for vacuuming. Speed 2 is recommended
for transport only, not vacuuming.
To increase speed, press the top of the switch.
To decrease speed, press bottom of the switch. Speeds can be adjusted at any time, whether machine is
moving or not.
7. DRIVE RESET SWITCH
This safety feature is designed to ensure safe engagement of propel drive. Each time the machine power is
turned on, and each time an operator steps on to the platform, the Drive Reset Switch must be pushed before
machine will propel.
8. HORN BUTTON
The horn is activated by pressing the horn button.
9. STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel turns the front wheel causing the machine to change direction.

Operations
10. BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR
Indicates the charge level of the batteries.
The meter display is divided into 10 vertical bars. Bars illuminated on the far right indicate full charge. Bars
flashing near the left side indicate the batteries should be recharged. Further operation of the machine could
damage the machine or the batteries. Bars flashing near left side also indicate that machine has been left unat-
tended with key on for more that 15 minutes. Turn key off then on to reset.
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 meter will give the correct charge level.
11. HOUR METER
Records the number of hours the machine has been in operation. This information is useful in determining
when to service the machine.

Operations
Pre-run Machine Inspection
Do a pre-run inspection to find possible problems that
could cause poor performance or lost time from break-
down. 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. Stand on the operator platform. Throttle pedal must
be in neutral position.
Note: Prior to Serial Number (17*). Place left foot on
operator presence pedal. Throttle pedal must be in
neutral position.
2. Turn the machine power on by turning key switch
clockwise to the "ON" position.
3. Check the position of the Directional Control
Switch to make sure the machine will travel in the
direction intended.
4. Press the Drive Reset Switch.
5. Press lightly on the throttle pedal with right foot.
*See Serial Number page
Emergency Stop Procedures
1. Release the throttle pedal by lifting right foot.
2. Turn machine power off with key switch by turning
key switch counterclockwise.
3. If an electrical problem is suspected, push in
emergency stop button. This will also engage the
parking brake and cause the machine to stop
immediately.

Operations
Normal Vacuuming
Plan the vacuuming 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 or stopping.
In order to achieve the best possible results, the area
which is to be cleaned should be picked up before
vacuuming. Large debris, strings and wire must be
removed to prevent being caught in brushes.
If machine is allowed to stand in neutral with the
vacuum deck down for more than 2 seconds, the brush
motor stops. If either forward or reverse travel is
selected, the brush motor will continue once movement
of machine begins. Overlap the brush path and avoid
transporting over previously cleaned areas.
Recommended Path
To Begin Vacuuming
When operating the machine around people, pay
close attention for unexpected movement. Use
extra caution around children.
1. Stand on the operator platform. Throttle pedal must
be in neutral position.
NOTE: Prior to Serial Number (17*). Place left foot on
operator presence pedal. Throttle pedal must be in
neutral position.
2. Turn machine power on.
3. Check position of Directional Control Switch to
ensure that machine is set to travel in direction
intended.
4. Press the Drive Reset Switch.
5. Lower the Brush Deck.
6. Drive machine forward to begin vacuuming.
7. Adjust the speed of the machine as necessary.
*See Serial Number page.
