  judy62Dec 1, 2025
  If your Tennant Floor Machine isn't picking up water effectively, several factors could be at play. Start by checking the squeegee blades for wear and rotate or replace them if needed. Ensure the squeegee is properly adjusted. A clogged vacuum hose can also be the culprit, so flush it thoroughly. Additionally, inspect the vacuum fan screen and clean any accumulated dirt. Remove any debris caught on the squeegee. Verify that the vacuum hose is securely connected to both the squeegee and the recovery tank, replacing it if damaged. Confirm that the solution tank is completely closed and free from obstructions. Check the heavy-duty batteries posts and file down if they are too tall. Ensure that the machine front cover is mounted at the correct height. Finally, inspect the solution tank seals a...

What to do if my Tennant 5680 Scrubber has little or no solution flow?
- J
  John WilliamsAug 27, 2025
  If there's little to no solution flow, start by checking if the solution tank is empty and fill it if needed. Ensure the solution flow is turned on. The solution control cable might be broken or out of adjustment, requiring replacement or adjustment. The solution supply lines could be plugged and need flushing, or the solution supply line filter might be dirty and need cleaning. The solution solenoid might be clogged or stuck, so clean or replace it. If in ESt mode, ensure the ESt switch is on.

  Leslie JonesAug 28, 2025
  If your Tennant Scrubber is leaving water behind, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the squeegee blades for wear and rotate or replace them if needed. Ensure the squeegee is properly adjusted. A clogged vacuum hose can also cause this issue, so flush the vacuum hoses. Other potential causes include a dirty vacuum fan inlet screen (clean it), debris caught on the squeegee (remove it), a disconnected or damaged vacuum hose (reconnect or replace it), an improperly closed solution tank (check for obstructions), or torn seals on the solution tank (replace them).

  If your Tennant Floor Machine isn't dispensing enough solution, start by checking if the solution tank is empty and fill it if necessary. Inspect the solution control cable for any damage or misadjustments, replacing or adjusting it as needed. Ensure that the solution flow is turned on. If the issue persists, the solution supply lines might be plugged, requiring a flush. Also, check the solution supply line filter for dirt and clean it. Lastly, the solution solenoid could be clogged or stuck, so clean or replace it to restore proper solution flow.

How to troubleshoot the FaST System on my Tennant 5680 Scrubber?
- D
  daltonwilliamSep 8, 2025
  If the FaST system on your Tennant Scrubber isn't working, make sure the FaST switch is set for FaST system scrubbing, not conventional scrubbing. Check if the FaST circuit breaker has tripped and reset the 10A circuit breaker button after determining the cause. Inspect the FaST PAK supply hose and connectors for clogs; soak them in warm water and clean. Ensure the FaST PAK carton is not empty and is properly connected. Clean any clogs from the flow control orifice and screen. Also, clean the filter screen after draining the solution tank. If the system is not primed, operate the FaST solution system for 3 minutes to prime it.
