Why won't the FaST system on my Tennant Floor Machine operate?
- E
  ewalkerSep 22, 2025
  If the FaST system on your Tennant Floor Machine isn't working, first ensure the FaST switch is set for FaST system scrubbing, not conventional scrubbing. Check the FaST fuse and replace the 10A fuse if it's blown, determining the cause first. If the FaST PAK carton is empty or not connected, replace the carton and/or connect the supply hose. Also, check for a clogged filter screen, drain the solution tank, remove and clean the filter screen. Other potential issues include clogged FaST PAK supply hose and/or connectors (soak connector and hose in warm water and clean), clogged flow control orifice and/or screen (remove and clean orifice and/or screen), or the FaST system may not be primed (to prime, operate the FaST solution system for 3 minutes).

What to do if my Tennant 5700 has poor scrubbing performance?
- E
  Edward Rivera MDAug 26, 2025
  Poor scrubbing performance can stem from several factors. Debris might be caught on the scrub brushes, which needs to be removed. The scrub brushes or pads could be worn and need replacing. The scrub brush motor circuit breaker(s) may have tripped and need resetting. The battery charge might be low, requiring charging. You may need to adjust scrub brush down pressure. Also, consider that an improper detergent, brush, or pad may be in use.

What to do if my Tennant 5700 Scrubber has little or no solution flow?
- T
  todd74Aug 26, 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.

  If your Tennant Scrubber isn't dispensing solution, the possible causes are: the solution tank is empty (fill it), the solution control cable is broken or out of adjustment (replace and/or adjust the cable), the solution flow is turned off (turn it on), the solution supply lines are plugged (flush them), the solution supply line filter is dirty (clean the filter), the solution solenoid is clogged or stuck (clean or replace it), or the ESt mode is off (turn the ESt switch on).

  Melissa WelchSep 23, 2025
  If the vacuum fan on your Tennant Floor Machine isn't turning on and you suspect it's related to the optical sensors, start by cleaning the recovery tank full sensor(s) and reset the key switch. If there's an oily/ink film buildup on the recovery tank sensor(s), use the correct detergent. If operating in bright sunlight, install sensor sun shield(s).

Why is my Tennant Scrubber leaving trailing water?
- G
  Gary SuarezNov 22, 2025
  Trailing water may occur due to several reasons. The squeegee blades might be worn and need rotating or replacing. The squeegee may be out of adjustment and needs adjusting. A vacuum hose could be clogged and needs flushing. The vacuum fan inlet screen might be dirty and needs cleaning. The recovery tank might be full and needs draining. Debris may be caught on the squeegee and needs removing. There may be foam filling the recovery tank, requiring you to empty it and use less or change detergent or use a de-foamer. The vacuum hose to the squeegee or recovery tank may be disconnected or damaged, requiring reconnection or replacement. The solution tank might not be completely closed and needs lowering. There may be torn seals on the solution tank that need replacing. The recovery tank full s...

  To address poor scrubbing performance with your Tennant Floor Machine, start by removing any debris caught on the scrub brushes. If the scrub brushes or pads are worn, replace them. Check if the scrub brush motor circuit breakers have tripped and reset them if necessary. Ensure the batteries are fully charged until the charger automatically turns off. Also, verify that the tire pressure is at the correct level.

  maynardrebeccaSep 12, 2025
  If the vacuum fan on your Tennant Floor Machine isn't turning on due to optical sensors, it might be because the recovery tank full sensors are dirty. Clean the sensors and reset the key switch. An oily or ink film buildup on the recovery tank sensors can also cause this; use the correct detergent to resolve this. If you're operating in bright sunlight, install sensor sun shields.
