HOW
IT OPERATES
The TRIDENT COMPACT is a walk-behind scrubber.
The main
components include a solution/
squeegee and a vacuum motor.
Detergent solution and water flow from the solution
tank to the scrub brush. The rotating brush scrubs the
floor. As the machine moves forward, the rear squee-
gee collects the dirty solution and channels
it
into the
vacuum of the squeegee pickup hose. The pickup
hose deposits
the dirty solution into the recovery tank.
