  If your Tennant Floor Machine shows excessive foam or cream on the floor during ReadySpace cleaning, it might be because: * Cleaning detergents were added to the solution tank. Drain and rinse the tank, then refill with water only. * An unapproved pre-treatment cleaning detergent was pre-sprayed on the floor. Use an approved pre-treatment cleaning detergent instead.
