MACHINE OPERATION  
STARTING MACHINE  
SCRUBBING WITH THE SABER/STRIDE II  
NOTE: Perform pre-run machine check before operating  
machine.  
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.  
FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make sure that  
all safety devices are in place and operating properly.  
1. Turn the key switch clockwise to the “ON” position.  
Move the directional control lever in the desired  
direction.  
NOTE: In order to achieve the best possible results, the  
area which is to be cleaned should be swept before scrub-  
bing. Large debris, strings, wire must be removed to pre-  
vent being caught in brushes or squeegee.  
FILLING THE SABER/STRIDE II  
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;  
stop on level surface, set parking brake, turn off ma-  
chine and remove key.

MACHINE OPERATION  
DOUBLE SCRUB  
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, begin scrubbing as usual, but after push-  
ing number 1, press the squeegee button to turn off vac mo-  
tor. Manually raise the squeegee. Make the first pass over  
the surface being cleaned with the solution on, and brush-  
es down and squeegee up. This allows the solution to stay  
in contact with the soil while loosening the surface accumu-  
lation with the brushes. Allow time for the first application  
to stay in contact with 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 solu-  
tion will further assist the difficult cleaning job.

MAINTENANCE  
SCRUB BRUSHES  
NOTE: All original equipment brushes are equipped with  
“Perform Alert©. This feature will tell the operator when it  
is time to replace the scrub brushes. “Perform Alert©  
brushes have bright yellow tufts located on these tufts  
are pre-trimmed to indicate the length of a worn out  
brush. When the tufts in the scrub brush wear to a length  
equal to the yellow tufts, the scrub brushes should be re-  
placed.  
The scrub brushes should be checked before each days  
work for wire, string, wear, or damage. The scrub brush-  
es should be replaced if brush bristles are missing or if  
yellow Perform Alert© indicate minimum brush length.  
NOTE: For uniform scrubbing, scrub brushes must be re-  
placed as a set.  
There are five different types of brushes available to cov-  
er applications from cleaning heavily soiled floors to pol-  
ishing. A pad driver is also available to take advantage  
of the many cleaning pads on the market and further add  
to the flexibility of the SABER/STRIDE II. 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  
and set the parking brake.  
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;  
Stop on level surface, set parking brake, turn off  
machine and remove key.  
UNCOATED FLOORS  
Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with sili-  
cone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and removes  
surface material  
2. 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 suit-  
able for cleaning medium soil conditions. Advantages  
are faster ground speed than nylon bristles on light solid  
applications.  
3. 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.  
Nylon 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  
Nylon Polish is the softest brush. It will gently clean fin-  
ished tile or terrazzo floors without removing floor finish  
or floor material. Used for washing highly polished or  
burnished floors.  
4. Repeat the procedure for the opposite side of the  
machine.  
Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications on  
coated or uncoated surfaces.  
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.  
Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty scrub-  
bing, and light stripping. The blue pads remove less fin-  
ish than brown stripping pads, yet will remove black  
marks, stains, and dirt.  
Brown Pads (Stripping) are used for easy and complete  
removal of old floor waxes/finishes. They will quickly re-  
move ground in dirt, black heel marks, and spills When  
used with the proper stripper, this pad leaves the floor  
clean and ready for finishing.

MAINTENANCE  
SCRUB DECK SKIRT AND SQUEEGEE  
TO REPLACE OR ROTATE REAR SQUEEGEE  
BLADES  
The skirts and squeegee should be inspected for wear  
and damage. The skirt is self adjusting. Replace skirt  
when they become cracked, worn, torn or brittle.  
1. With the squeegee in the up position, turn the key  
switch “OFF”.  
SQUEEGEE BLADES  
2. Remove the squeegee from the machine. Unlatch  
and remove blade retainer strap and remove  
squeegee blade assembly.  
NOTE: See page 15 of this guide for a complete table on  
squeegee options.  
The front squeegee blade allows solution to pass through  
channels in the blade into the squeegee tool while main-  
taining vacuum to provide lift. The front blade has four  
wear surfaces and can be rotated for extended life.  
There are three different notch patterns and three differ-  
ent colors of squeegees for varying floor conditions. The  
red squeegee is used for normal, smooth surfaces. The  
blue squeegee is used for tiled surfaces. The green  
squeegee is used for rough surfaces. The linatex squee-  
gees are used for industrial settings. The front blade  
should not require regular replacement under normal  
use.  
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;  
Stop on level surface, set parking brake, turn off  
machine and remove key.  
3. Rotate the squeegee to new edge position or  
replace as required. Each blade has four new edge  
positions.  
The rear blade wipes the floor to a near dry condition. It  
is important the rear blade be in good condition to prop-  
erly do its job. The rear squeegee blades come in an as-  
sembly with three different options. Each squeegee  
blade assembly has four wear surfaces for extended ser-  
vice.  
Check both the front and rear squeegee blades for dam-  
age, 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.

MAINTENANCE  
ADJUSTING SQUEEGEE  
Adjusting the squeegee is a two part process. First, the  
squeegee tool must have correct pitch in order for the  
squeegee blade to have the same deflection at each tip  
as well as the center.  
The pitch adjustment on the SABER/STRIDE II  
is facilitated by the use of a spirit level mounted on the  
squeegee tool. The second adjustment is the amount of  
deflection or down pressure on the squeegee. The ideal  
deflection is conveniently marked by colors on the squee-  
gee tool according to the type of floor and squeegee  
blade employed.  
3/8”  
TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH  
PROPER DEFLECTION OF SQUEEGEE BLADE  
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn “ON” the key  
switch, release the machine parking brake. Lower  
the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60  
cm).  
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine with the  
brake and set the parking brakes. Do not allow the  
machine to roll back.  
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;  
Stop on level surface, set parking brake, 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 tool. This should  
correspond to the bubble being in the middle position  
of the spirit level.  
4. To decrease the deflection of the squeegee blade at  
the ends, loosen plastic knobs near the squeegee  
center. To increase the deflection at the ends of the  
squeegee assembly, tighten plastic knobs on trailing  
arm.  
5. Again check the deflection of the squeegee blades.  
Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the deflection is equal  
across the entire rear squeegee blade.  
TO ADJUST AMOUNT OF REAR SQUEEGEE  
DEFLECTION  
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;  
Stop on level surface, set parking brake, turn off ma-  
chine and remove key.  
1. Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the  
squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet.  
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine with  
the brake and set the parking brakes. Do not allow  
the machine to roll back.  
3. Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It  
should deflect 3/8 in (9.5 mm) across the entire  
width of the squeegee.  
4. To adjust the squeegee deflection, loosen knob on  
the squeegee slide bar.  
5. Slide bar to left to increase deflection. Sliding bar to  
right decreases deflection  
6. Turn on the key switch, release the machine parking  
brake. Raise, then lower squeegee assembly.  
Drive forward at least 2 feet.  
7. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until deflection of 3/8 in.  
(9.5 mm) is reached.  
TIRES AND WHEELS  
Check for low or worn tires. Fill to proper pressure as  
needed (50 psi front).  
Check wheel nuts for tightness, tighten as necessary to  
80 foot pounds.

BATTERIES  
The batteries provide the power to operate the machine.  
The standard are four 6 volt batteries rated at 250 A/h at  
a 6-hour rate. The batteries require regular maintenance  
to keep them operating at peak efficiency.  
3. Do not add water until the battery is fully charged.  
4. Wipe off the top of the batteries at least once a  
week.  
5. Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least  
once a week.  
The machine batteries will hold their charge for long peri-  
ods of time, but they can only be charged a certain num-  
ber 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.  
6. Ensure that all connections are tight and all  
corrosion removed.  
7. Every 4 to 6 months, remove the batteries from the  
machine and clean the battery cases and battery  
compartment.  
Do not allow the batteries to remain in a discharged con-  
dition for any length of time. Never expose a discharged  
battery to temperatures below freezing. Discharged bat-  
teries 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).  
CHECKING BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY  
Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific gravity.  
A
Keep all metallic objects off the top of the batteries, as  
they may cause a short circuit. Replace worn or dam-  
aged cables and terminals.  
Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell before and  
after charging the batteries. Never add acid to the batter-  
ies, use 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.

trolyte is any temperature other than 80 °F(27° C), the  
reading must be temperature corrected.  
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.  
To find the corrected specific gravity reading when the temper-  
ature of the battery electrolyte is other than 80° F(27° C):  
Add(+) to the specific gravity reading 0.004(4 points), for each  
10 F(6° C) above 80 F(27° C).  
Subtract(-) from the specific reading 0.004(4 points), for each  
10° F(6° C) below 80° F(27° C).

BATTERIES  
TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES  
7. Plug the charger connector into the battery connector.  
Connect the charger AC plug to a wall outlet. The  
charger gauge should indicate that the batteries are  
charging.  
8. When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the  
charger from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the  
charger from the batteries.  
9. Connect the batteries to the machine connector.  
10. Check the electrolyte level. It should be up to the indi-  
cator ring. If necessary add distilled water.  
11. Lower the solution tank.  
! CAUTION  
When servicing machine, avoid contact with bat-  
tery acid.  
! WARNING  
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire  
can result. Keep sparks and open flame away.  
Keep covers open when charging.  
! WARNING  
CHANGING BATTERIES  
TO REMOVE BATTERIES  
Stop the machine in a clean area next to the charger  
Turn off machine and set parking brake.  
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when  
working with batteries.  
! WARNING  
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;  
Stop on level surface, set parking brake, turn off ma-  
chine and remove key  
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area. Leave  
the solution tank open.  
Use a 36 volt, 20 amp maximum output, DC charger which  
will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully  
charged to charge the six battery pack.  
1. Raise the solution tank.  
2. Engage solution tank support arm  
3. Disconnect battery pack from machine.  
4. Use the proper size open end wrench to disconnect  
main ground wire first and secure cable terminal away  
from batteries.  
5. Disconnect main positive lead and secure cable termi-  
nal away from batteries.  
1. Stop the machine in a clean, well ventilated area next  
to the charger  
2. Turn “OFF” machine and set parking brake.  
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;  
Stop on level surface, set parking brake, turn off  
machine and remove key  
6. Loosen both terminals on each jumper cable and  
remove one at a time.  
7. Prepare a suitable site to place the batteries.  
8. Attach suitable battery lifting device and lift batteries  
from the machine.  
3. Drain solution tank and raise the solution tank and  
lock the support arm. Make sure the support arm is  
fully engaged.  
! WARNING  
Batteries are a potential environmental hazard.  
Consult your battery supplier for safe disposal  
methods.  
! WARNING  
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can re-  
sult. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers  
open when charging.

4. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell. Before  
charging, add just enough water to cover the plates.  
After charging is complete, add just enough water to  
bring up the level to the indicator ring. If the water level  
is too high before charging, normal expansion of the  
electrolyte may cause an overflow, resulting in loss of  
battery acid balance and damage to the machine.  
5. Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place  
while charging.
