Claim 8:
9. The surface cleaner of claim 1, further comprising:
a liquid distribution system including a supply tank and a distributor in fluid communication to deliver solution to the surface, and an operating component selected from the group consisting of a pump operable to deliver a cleaning fluid and an actuator operable to control a fluid valve;
wherein the accelerometer is further configured to generate the accelerometer signal based on user-initiated movement of the base along the surface;
wherein the controller is operatively connected to the liquid distribution system, the controller being configured to operate in a distributing mode during movement of the base and in a non-distributing mode during movement of the base based on the accelerometer signal during operation of the surface cleaner, wherein the controller changes from the distributing mode to the non-distributing mode independent of user interaction with the surface cleaner other than the user-initiated movement.
