  • the distributor has an outlet opening device which is arranged and designed so that, depending on an angular position of the distributor to the direction of gravity, cleaning liquid flows from the distributor to the at least one cleaning roller or not. As a result, the fluid admission can be adjusted by gravity.
  • the angular position of the distributor to the direction of gravity is determined by an angular position of a longitudinal axis of the surface cleaning machine (and thus the entire machine) to a surface to be cleaned.
  • This angular position can be easily changed by an operator by raising or lowering a handle.
  • moistening of the at least one cleaning roller via the distributor is then controlled by gravity.
