Abstract
A random orbit scrubber comprises a main body having a front end and a rear end, a squeegee assembly coupled to the rear end of the main body, and a cleaning head assembly coupled to the front end of the main body. The cleaning head assembly can include a cleaning element structured for contact with a floor surface. The cleaning head assembly can further include a motor that is operable to impart rotational and orbital movement on the cleaning element. The cleaning head assembly can also include one or more arcuate cleaning fluid manifolds each having a plurality of dispensing points to distribute cleaning fluid in one or more locations on top of and in front of the cleaning element. The arcuate cleaning fluid manifolds can include variable flow nozzles and can be mounted to a carriage that rotates about the cleaning head assembly.
