Why is my Tennant 215 Floor Machine's sweeping performance poor?

  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.

  If your Tennant Floor Machine won't move, several components could be at fault. Start by checking the directional control pedal linkage for any misadjustments or damage. Next, inspect the transmission drive belt to see if it's slipping or broken; adjust or replace as needed. A malfunctioning transmission may also be the cause, requiring repair or replacement. Furthermore, examine the wheel drive chains and sprockets for breakage, replacing any damaged parts. Finally, ensure the jackshaft belt isn't broken or slipping; adjust or replace it if necessary.

  Excessive dusting from your Tennant Floor Machine can stem from several issues. Check the dust skirts and seals for wear, damage, or improper adjustment; replace or adjust as necessary. A clogged dust filter can also cause this problem; try shaking, cleaning, or replacing the filter. Inspect the vacuum hose for damage and replace if needed. Lastly, a vacuum fan failure, indicated by a broken or off-sheave belt, could be the culprit.
