HOW THE MACHINE WORKS The Saber Cutter is a battery powered, selfpropelled, 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.

CONTROLS 7. BRUSH PRESSURE LEVER Adjusts the amount of brush pressure to the floor by raising or lowering the scrub deck. To apply brush pressure, lower brush pressure lever to floating position. To apply additional pressure, place lever in restricted position. Lock the lever into the lower notch. Push the lever forward to move in a downward motion. Pull back on lever and release for floating position. To decrease brush pressure, raise lever to up position. 8.
CONTROLS 13. BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR Indicates the charge level of the batteries. The meter display is divided into 10 vertical bars. Bar 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. When the machine is left overnight with less than a full charge, the display may initially indicate a full charge.
MACHINE OPERATION PRE-RUN MACHINE INSPECTION FILLING SOLUTION TANK Do a pre-run inspection to find possible problems that could cause poor performance or lost time from breakdown. Follow the same procedure each time to avoid missing steps. NOTE: See maintenance section for pre-run machine inspection checklist items. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 1. Turn the machine power off. 2.
MACHINE OPERATION TO BEGIN SCRUBBING 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.
MACHINE OPERATION DOUBLE SCRUB For floors which are heavily soiled or have thick accumulations of floor finish may not clean sufficiently with one pass. In these cases it will be necessary to double scrub. To double scrub, make the first pass over the surface being cleaned with the squeegee up, vacuum off, the solution on, Aqua-Mizer removed and brushes down. This allows the solution to stay in contact with the soil while loosening the surface accumulation with the brushes.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE DAILY Check batteries after charging; add water if necessary Check pad wear to prevent buildup of chemicals Check linkages and connectors for wear and damage Check hoses for wear, blockages, or damage Clean squeegee; check for adjustment; inspect for wear Check handles, switches, knobs, domes, and gaskets for damage Clean out recovery tank Clean out solution tank; remove and clean screen Clean outside of all tanks; check for damage Run vac motor for at least one mi

MAINTENANCE 1. BATTERIES The batteries provide the power to operate the machine. The batteries require regular maintenance to keep them operating at peak efficiency. The machine batteries will hold their charge for long periods of time, but they can only be charged a certain number of times. To get the greatest life from the batteries, charge them when their charge level reaches 25% of a full charge. Use a hydrometer to check the charge level.
MAINTENANCE TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES CHECKING BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific gravity. ! WARNING When servicing machine, avoid contact with battery acid. ! CAUTION Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers open when charging. Battery Check ! WARNING Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with batteries. ! WARNING CHECKING GRAVITY A. Hydrometer B.
MAINTENANCE 5. Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place while charging. 6. Unplug the battery connector from the machine. CHANGING BATTERIES Stop the machine in a clean area next to the charger. Turn off machine. FOR SAFETY: When charging, connect the charger to the batteries before connecting the charger to the AC wall outlet. Never connect the charger to the AC wall outlet first. Hazardous sparks may result.
MAINTENANCE 2. SQUEEGEE BLADES TO REMOVE SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY The front squeegee blade allows solution to pass through channels in the blade into the squeegee assembly while maintaining vacuum to provide lift. The front blade has four wear surfaces and can be rotated for extended life. The front blade should not require regular replacement under normal use. 1. With the squeegee in the up position, turn key switch “OFF”. 2. Disconnect vacuum hose from squeegee and loosen both knobs. 3.
MAINTENANCE TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH 1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn “ON” the key switch. Lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60cm.). 2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do not allow machine to roll back. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 3. Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of the squeegee blade between each end and the middle.
MAINTENANCE 4. SCRUB BRUSHES There are four different types of brushes available to cover applications from cleaning heavily soiled floors to polishing. A pad driver is also available to take advantage of the many cleaning pads on the market. Please refer to the following to assist in selecting the proper brush or pad for the work at hand. REPLACING OR INSTALLING SCRUB BRUSHES 1. With the scrub deck up, turn “OFF” the machine.
MAINTENANCE 6. SOLUTION STRAINER The solution strainer is located in front of the left front wheel. The solution strainer protects the solenoid valve from debris. If there is little or no solution flow to the ground, check the strainer for debris. Drain the solution tank and clean the solution strainer. To remove the strainer, turn the bottom part of the strainer counterclockwise until the bottom is separated. Clean out the debris from the wire mesh and re-assemble.
MAINTENANCE 8. TRACTION MOTOR ! WARNING Do not use a pressure washer to clean around the motors. Use tap pressure only. TRACTION MOTOR CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine, stop on a level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 1. Disconnect batteries from machine. 2. Disconnect the electrical connection to the traction motor. 3. Remove brush cap. 4. Release brush from spring tension. Remove screw connecting brush wire lead to brush holder.
MAINTENANCE 11. VACUUM MOTOR (Refer to the Vacuum Group in the parts section of manual) ! WARNING Do not use a pressure washer to clean around the vacuum motors. Use tap pressure only. Care must be taken so that water is not directed into vacuum motor air intakes. CHANGING VACUUM MOTOR 1. Disconnect batteries from machine. 2. Remove front cover. 3. Disconnect electrical connector to the vacuum motor. 4. Loosen clamp and disconnect hose from vacuum intake. 5. Remove vacuum motor mounting bracket bolts. 6.
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED GREASING: 1-2 strokes of Mobiltemp®78 or compatible clay-based or calcium-based grease.
