Why is my Tennant 215 Floor Machine's sweeping performance poor?
- JJennifer KempAug 1, 2025
If your Tennant Floor Machine exhibits poor sweeping performance, several factors could be responsible. The brush bristles may be worn and require replacement. Alternatively, the brushes might not be adjusted properly and need adjustment. Debris caught in the brush drive mechanism can also hinder performance; clear the mechanism of any obstructions. A failure in the main or side brush drive, often due to a broken or off-sheave belt, could be the cause. Also, ensure that the hopper is correctly adjusted, not full, and that the hopper floor skirts are in good condition. If skirts are worn or damaged, replace them, and adjust the hopper floor clearance if it is not properly adjusted.
