Abstract
A fluid collection system for a floor maintenance machine provides improved collection of fluid, foam, and debris prior to the vacuum source. The fluid collection system includes a recovery chamber defining a volume, a hollow structure (such as a modified skirt) having an internal chamber, and a vacuum source in fluid communication with the volume of the recovery chamber via the internal chamber and a vacuum line. The vacuum source draws a vacuum in the volume of the recovery chamber by drawing a gas from the volume of the recovery chamber through the internal chamber of the hollow structure and through the vacuum line.
