HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
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 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, float ball 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 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 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 two rotary type
disk scrub brushes, motors, scrub deck skirt, lift
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 lever is used to raise and
lower the deck.

MACHINE OPERATION
NORMAL SCRUBBING
TO BEGIN 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.
! WARNING
When operating the machine around people, pay
close attention for unexpected movement. Use
extra caution around children.
! CAUTION
Flammable liquids and/or reactive metals can
cause explosions or fire! Do not pick up.
1. Turn the machine power on.
2. Lower the squeegee.
3. Turn the vacuum on.
4. Lower the scrub brushes to the floor.

MACHINE OPERATION
DOUBLE SCRUB
RECOVERY 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. Unhook the large drain hose from the retainer.
Unscrew the T-handle on plug enough to loosen
plug, then lower hose in direction of the drain.
Do not stand in front of end of hose. Recovered
solution will come out with force. Slowly remove
plug from drain hose.
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. 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 the
squeegee down and again the solution and brushes
on will further loosen soil. The additional application
of solution will further assist the difficult cleaning job.
2. Remove the recovery tank dome. Flush the
recovery tank out with clean water. Do not use
water hotter than 140°F (60°C) to clean tank.
Damage may occur.
3. Clean off the float shut-off system and inspect
for free movement of float. The float shut-off
system is located in the rear of the recovery
tank.
4. Replace the drain plug and secure drain hose in

when working with batteries.
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).
! WARNING
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
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.
Keep all metallic objects off the top of the batteries,
as they may cause a short circuit. Replace worn or
damaged cables and terminals.
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.

2. SQUEEGEE BLADES
TO REMOVE SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY
1. With the squeegee in the up position, turn key
switch “OFF”.
2. Disconnect vacuum hose from squeegee and
loosen both knobs.
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.
3. Pull squeegee assembly rearward from the
lifting carrier.
4. Inspect or repair as necessary and reinstall.
The rear blade wipes the floor to a near dry
condition. It is important the rear blade be in good
condition to properly do its job. As with the front,
each squeegee blade assembly has four wear
surfaces for extended service.
TO REPLACE OR ROTATE REAR SQUEEGEE
BLADES
1. With the squeegee in the up position, turn key
switch “OFF”.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
2. Remove the squeegee assembly from the
machine. Unlatch and remove blade retainer
strap and remove squeegee blade.
3. Rotate the squeegee to new edge position or
replace as required. Each blade has four new
edge positions.
4. Install blade on locating pins of squeegee
assembly.
5. Install squeegee retainer strap.
6. Fasten and lock latch, adjust latch only tight
enough to take up slack in retaining strap.
Check both the front and rear squeegee blades for
damage, wear, and adjustment each day in the pre-
run check. Change the front blade if it is torn or has
an uneven edge. Change the rear blade if it is less
than 1/2 the original thickness.
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.
TO REPLACE OR ROTATE FRONT SQUEEGEE
BLADE
1. With the squeegee in the up position, turn key
switch “OFF”.
SQUEEGEE DEFLECTION
2. Remove the squeegee from the machine.
Loosen three thumbscrews and remove the

TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH
TO ADJUST AMOUNT OF REAR SQUEEGEE
DEFLECTION
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. 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
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
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.
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. Turn on the key switch. Raise, then lower
squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least 2
feet (60cm).
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. 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.
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.
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.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until deflection of
3/8 in. (9.5mm) is reached.
3. TO REPLACE AQUA-MIZER SQUEEGEE
BLADES
These squeegee blades have two wear edges. To
use the second edge:
SQUEEGEE DEFLECTION
1. Remove deck shrouds.
2. Remove brushes or pad drivers.
3. Remove each of the Aqua-Mizer squeegee
systems.
4. Remove the hardware from each system that
retains the blade.

REPLACING OR INSTALLING SCRUB BRUSHES
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.
2. Remove the brush cover shrouds.
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.
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.
5. Replace the brush cover shrouds.
NOTE: Check that release plate is completely
closed and pad/brush is securely attached. Damage
to driver or brush could occur.
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.
UNCOATED FLOORS
Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with
silicone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and
removes surface material.
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.
Polypropylene is a general-purpose scrub brush
with stiff bristles. Polypropylene works well for
maintaining concrete, wood and tile floors.
5. RECOVERY TANK FLOAT SHUT-OFF
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.
FINISHED FLOORS
Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications
on coated or uncoated surfaces.
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.
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.
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.
4. To install, place one hand on the tube, and then
tilt and push the float screen assembly over the
barb on the tube.
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.
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.
The scrub brushes should be checked before each
days work for wire, string, wear and damage.
