Abstract

A vehicle for moving in a longitudinal direction and cleaning a surface has a scrub brush, a cleaning fluid dispenser, a squeegee, drive means, and at least one steering wheel which is mounted to the vehicle such that it may be selectively turned for steering the vehicle. The vehicle is provided with a steering mechanism for turning the steering wheel, whereby turning a steering input member a specific angular magnitude in one direction causes the steering wheel to turn a greater angular magnitude in the opposite direction.
