How to improve scrubbing performance of my Tennant 5700 Scrubber?

  Wendy CortezSep 3, 2025
  If your Tennant Scrubber's performance is poor, the cause may be due to: debris caught on scrub brushes (remove the debris), worn scrub brushes or pads (replace them), scrub brush motor circuit breakers tripped (reset them), low battery charge (charge batteries until the charger automatically turns off), or low tire pressure (increase the tire pressure). Other reasons can be: reduce scrub brush down pressure, level scrub head, broken brush drive belts on cylindrical scrub head (replace belt).

What to do if my Tennant Floor Machine vacuum fan will not turn on?

  Ian RobertsonSep 2, 2025
  If the vacuum fan on your Tennant Floor Machine isn't turning on, there are a few things to check: First, the recovery tank might be full, so drain it. Foam filling the recovery tank can also cause this issue, so empty the tank. Also, the vacuum fan circuit breaker might have tripped; try resetting it. Other causes might be related to detergent usage, so use less or change the detergent, or use a defoamer.

Why is my Tennant Floor Machine leaving water behind?
- C
  Casey ByrdAug 31, 2025
  If your Tennant Floor Machine isn't picking up water, it could be due to several reasons. The squeegee blades might be worn, requiring rotation or replacement. The squeegee may be out of adjustment and need adjustment. A clogged vacuum hose can also be the culprit; try flushing it. Additionally, check for a dirty vacuum fan filter and clean the inlet filter. Debris caught on the squeegee should be removed. Ensure the vacuum hose to the squeegee or recovery tank is properly connected and not damaged; reconnect or replace if necessary. Make sure the solution tank is completely closed and check for obstructions. Finally, inspect the solution tank seals for tears and replace them if needed.

Why is there little or no solution flow in my Tennant Scrubber?

  Michelle WilsonAug 30, 2025
  If your Tennant Scrubber has little or no solution flow, first, ensure the solution tank is full. If it is, check the solution control cable for breaks or misadjustments, and replace or adjust it as needed. Also, verify that the solution flow is turned on. If the issue persists, flush the solution supply lines and clean the solution supply line filter. Clean or replace the solution solenoid if it's clogged or stuck. Finally, if in ES mode, ensure the ES switch is turned on.

  If your Tennant Scrubber isn't picking up water effectively, start by checking the squeegee blades for wear and either rotate or replace them. Ensure the squeegee is properly adjusted. A clogged vacuum hose can also be the culprit, so flush it out. Also, inspect the vacuum fan inlet screen for dirt and clean it if necessary. Remove any debris caught on the squeegee. Make sure 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. Finally, check the solution tank seals and replace them if they are torn.
