Recovery System
Functional Description
Overview
The recovery system picks up the
scrubbing solution from the squeegee
tool and directs it to the
Recovery Tank
.
Recovery Tank
The
Recovery Tank
holds 70 gallons
[265 l] of wastewater and supports the
Vacuum Motor
,
Recovery Tank Lid
and
Top Cover Assembly
.
Vacuum Motor
The
Vacuum Motor
draws air from the
Recovery Tank
to create a vacuum in
the tank and at the
Squeegee
.
The
Vacuum Motor
switches on
automatically when the scrub system
is enabled and the machine moves
forward. The
Vacuum Motor
will switch
off after a predetermined time delay
once machine motion stops.
The
Vacuum Motor
can also be switched on independent of the scrub system by pressing the vacuum/wand
switch. This is used to pick up solution already on the floor, or when using a wand on the
Squeegee Hose
.
A current sensor monitors the
Vacuum Motor
current and will display a fault if the
Vacuum Motor
current
draw is too high.
Squeegee and Squeegee Hose
The wastewater and air enter the vacuum system at the
Squeegee
tool through small openings (notches)
located in the front
Squeegee
blade. The small openings are the entrance points for the water and air and
help speed up the airflow, producing the suction to lift the wastewater off of the floor. The solution travels
through the
Squeegee Hose
at high speed and into the
Recovery Tank
. The airflow continues through the
Recovery Tank
, vacuum fan inlet screen and
Vacuum Motor
, then is exhausted out of the
Vacuum Hose
. No
wastewater ever actually moves through the
Vacuum Motor
, just the working air.
