HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
The function of the recovery system is to vacuum
the soiled water back into the recovery tank. The
recovery system consists of two squeegees, vacuum
motor, float ball filter, recovery tank and controls.
The squeegees wipe 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 recovery tank
stores the dirty solution. The float ball filter protects
the vacuum fan from debris and shuts off air going to
the recovery tank when tank is full. When flow of air
is shut off the vacuum motor will continue to run. At
this time the recovery tank must be drained.
The Saber Cutter 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 directional control system is to
control the direction and speed of the machine. The
directional control system consists of the propel
control buttons, reverse button, speed control
knob/potentiometer, controller and transaxle. The
propel controls actuate switches which cause the
machine to move forward. For reverse motion
depress the reverse button while depressing one of
the propel controls. 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.
The function of the scrub system is to scrub the
floor. The scrub system consists of three rotary type
disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt, lift
mechanism, swing mechanism 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 scrub
deck skirt controls the cleaning solution on the floor
so that the squeegee can pick it up. The brush lift
mechanisms are controls used to raise and lower
the deck. The brush swing mechanisms are controls
used to swing the deck in and out.

MACHINE OPERATION
DOUBLE SCRUB
SOLUTION TANK
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.
1. Loosen small drain hose from the retainer, then
lower hose in direction of the drain.
2. Remove the solution tank cover.
3. Flush the solution tank out with clean water and
run several gallons of clean water through
systems. Do not use water hotter than 140°F
(60°C) to clean tank. Damage may occur.
To double scrub, make the first pass over the
surface being cleaned with both squeegees up,
vacuum off, the solution on and brushes down. This
allows the solution to stay in contact with the soil
while loosening the surface accumulation with the
brushes. Allow time for the first application to stay in
contact with the floor. Length of time between the
first and second pass depends on amount of
accumulation and the type of chemical being used.
A second scrubbing with both squeegees down and
again the solution and brushes on will further loosen
soil. The additional application of solution will further
assist the difficult cleaning job.
NOTE: Never allow solution to remain in tank.
Damage to tank, seals and valves could occur.

1. BATTERIES
The batteries provide the power to operate the
machine. The batteries require regular maintenance
to keep them operating at peak efficiency.
When servicing machine, avoid contact with
battery acid.
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.
Do not allow the batteries to remain in a discharged
condition for any length of time. Never expose a
discharged battery to temperatures below freezing.
Discharged batteries will freeze causing cracked
cases. Do not operate the machine if the batteries
are in poor condition or if they have a charge level
below 25% (specific gravity below 1.155).
Wear eye protection and protective clothing
when working with batteries.
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Keep all metallic objects off the top of the batteries,
as they may cause a short circuit. Replace worn or
damaged cables and terminals.
1. When cleaning the batteries, use a solution of
baking soda and water. Do not allow the
cleaning fluid to enter the battery cells,
electrolyte will be neutralized.
2. Maintain the proper electrolyte level in each
battery cell. If a cell should accidentally
overflow, clean immediately.
3. Wipe off the top of the batteries at least once a
week.
4. Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least
once a week.
Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell
before and after charging the batteries. Never add
acid to the batteries, use distilled water. Do not
allow water level to fall below the battery plates.
Portions of plates exposed to air will be destroyed.
Do not overfill. Keep plugs firmly in place at all
times.
5. Ensure that all connections are tight and all
corrosion removed.
6. Every 4 to 6 months, remove the batteries from
the machine and clean the battery cases and
battery compartment.

CHECKING BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific
gravity.
Wear eye protection and protective clothing
when working with batteries.
Battery Check
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area. Leave
the battery cover open.
Use a 24 volt, 18 amp maximum output or 25 amp
(depending on the size of the batteries), DC charger
which will automatically shut off when the batteries
are fully charged.
1. Stop the machine in a clean, well-ventilated area
next to the charger.
2. Turn “OFF” machine.

4. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell.
Before charging, add just enough distilled water
to cover the plates. After charging is complete,
add just enough distilled water to bring up the
level to the indicator ring. If the water level is
too high before charging, normal expansion rate
of the electrolyte may cause an overflow.
Resulting in a loss of battery acid balance and
damage the machine.
NOTE: If the readings are taken when the battery
electrolyte is any temperature other than 80°F
(27°C), the reading must be temperature corrected.
To find the corrected specific gravity reading when
the temperature of the battery electrolyte is other
than 80°F (27°): Add (+) to the specific gravity
reading 0.004 (4 points), for each 10°F (6°C) above
80° (27°C).
Subtract (-) from the specific reading 0.004 (4
points), for each 10°F (6°C) below 80°F (27°C).
5. Replace the battery caps, and leave them in
place while charging.
6. Unplug the battery connector from the machine.

assembly.
5. Install squeegee retainer strap.
6. Fasten and lock latch, adjust latch only tight
enough to take up slack in retaining strap.
ADJUSTING SQUEEGEE
Adjusting the squeegee is a two-part process. First,
the squeegee assembly must have correct pitch in
order for the squeegee blade to have the same
deflection at each tip as well as the center. The
knob on the squeegee linkage controls the pitch
adjustment. The second adjustment is the
deflection. Knobs on each end of the squeegee
control this.

3. Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of
the squeegee blade between each end and the
middle. Proper adjustment is obtained when
deflection is equal all the way across the
squeegee blade. The bubble level should also
indicate when the squeegee is adjusted
properly. When the air bubble is in the center of
the vial, the deflection should be even across
the squeegee blade.
3. Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It
should deflect 3/8 in. (9.5mm) across the entire
width of the squeegee.
4. To increase the squeegee deflection, turn the 2
knobs at the squeegee ends counter-clockwise.
To decrease the deflection, turn the knobs
clockwise.
4. To decrease the deflection of the squeegee
blade at the ends, tighten knob near the
squeegee center. To increase the deflection at
the ends of the squeegee assembly, loosen
knob.
NOTE: The deflection should be consistent along
the length of the squeegee. If the deflection varies
from end to end the knobs can be adjusted
independently to correct the variation.
5. Check the deflection of the squeegee blades
again. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the
deflection is equal across the entire rear
squeegee blade.
5. Turn on the key switch. Raise, then lower
squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least
2 feet (60cm).

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.
1. With the scrub deck up, turn “OFF” the machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the
machine; stop on level surface, turn OFF
machine and remove key.
UNCOATED FLOORS
2. Lift the appropriate brush release access cover.
Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with
silicone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and
removes surface material.
3. Locate release lever on top of brush or pad
driver. Rotate release lever counter-clockwise
and the brush/pad driver will release and drop
down.
Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit
suitable for cleaning medium soil conditions.
Advantages are faster ground speed than nylon
bristles on light solid applications.
4. To reinstall, center the brush driver under the
brush drive hub. Raise until it contacts brush
driver assembly. Turn clockwise until release
lever plate locks into position.
Polypropylene is a general-purpose scrub brush
with stiff bristles. Polypropylene works well for
maintaining concrete, wood and tile floors.
NOTE: Check that release plate is completely
closed and pad/brush is securely attached. Damage
to driver or brush could occur.
FINISHED FLOORS
4. RECOVERY TANK FLOAT SHUT-OFF
Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications
on coated or uncoated surfaces.
When water is no longer being vacuumed from the
floor and the vacuum fan is operating, the ball float
has engaged. The vacuum motor will not vacuum
water with recovery tank full. The recovery tank
must be drained.
White Pads (Polishing) are used for dry polishing to
achieve a high-gloss appearance, or surface
washing on highly polished or burnished floors.
Red Pads (Buffing) are used for light-duty
scrubbing. When used with a mild detergent they
will provide surface cleaning without removing the
finish.
1. The float shut-off screen can be cleaned in or
out of the machine.
2. To clean the float shut-off while it is inside the
machine wipe material off screen then rinse.
Check that the ball is also clean and moves
freely.
Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty
scrubbing and light stripping. The blue pads remove
less finish than brown stripping pads, yet will remove
black marks, stains and dirt.
3. To remove the float shut-off, grasp the screen
with one hand and the connected tube with the
other. Tilt and pull the float screen assembly to
pull it off the barb on the tube.
Black Pads (Stripping) are used for easy and
complete removal of old floor waxes/finishes. They
will quickly remove ground in dirt, black heel marks,
and spills. When used with the proper stripper, this
pad leaves the floor clean and ready for finishing.
To install, place one hand on the tube, and then
tilt and push the float screen assembly over the
barb on the tube.
The scrub brushes should be checked before each
days work for wire, string, wear and damage.

TO ADJUST FRONT SQUEEGEE
DEFLECTION
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the front
squeegee and deck and drive forward at least 2
feet (60cm) until the desired brush pressure is
obtained.
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do
not allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3. Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It
should deflect 1/4 in. (6.25mm) across the entire
width of the squeegee.
4. To increase the squeegee deflection, loosen the
two knobs on the linkage and lower the
squeegee and bracket, then retighten. To
decrease the deflection, loosen the two knobs
on the linkage and raise the squeegee and
bracket, then retighten.
5. Turn on the key switch. Raise, then lower
squeegee and deck assembly. Drive forward at
least 2 feet (60cm) until the desired brush
pressure is obtained.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until deflection of
1/4 in. (6.25mm) is reached.
