What to do if my Tennant 5700XP Scrubber has poor scrubbing performance?
- A
  Amanda WilliamsAug 21, 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 5700XP has little or no solution flow?
- J
  Joan KingAug 25, 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.

Why is my Tennant Scrubber not scrubbing well?
- B
  bmooreAug 28, 2025
  If your Tennant Scrubber's scrubbing performance is lacking, start by checking the scrub brushes for any caught debris and remove it. Also, make sure that the battery charge is sufficient by charging the batteries until the charger automatically turns off and that the tire pressure is adequate by increasing it. Other potential issues include worn scrub brushes or pads (replace them), tripped scrub brush motor circuit breakers (reset them), excessive brush pressure (reduce it), uneven brush pressure (level the scrub head), or broken brush drive belts on cylindrical scrub heads (replace the belt).

What to do if the vacuum fan won't turn on in my Tennant Floor Machine?

  Randy BryantSep 1, 2025
  If your Tennant Floor Machine's vacuum fan won't turn on, the recovery tank might be full; drain it. Foam in the recovery tank can also cause this issue; empty the tank. Try using less detergent or switching to a different one, and consider using a defoamer. Also, check if the vacuum fan circuit breaker has tripped and reset it if necessary.

Why does my Tennant 5700XP Scrubber have poor propelling traction?
- K
  Katherine ParsonsSep 5, 2025
  If your Tennant Scrubber is struggling with traction, the brush pressure might be set too high; try decreasing it. Also, ensure that the scrub head is level to prevent uneven brush down pressure. If you have a cylindrical scrub head, check for broken brush drive belts and replace them if necessary.

What to do if the FaST system on my Tennant Scrubber isn't working?
- H
  hudsondianaSep 8, 2025
  If the FaST system on your Tennant Scrubber isn't operating, first ensure the FaST switch is set for FaST system scrubbing. Check the FaST fuse and replace it if blown, determining the cause beforehand. A clogged FaST PAK supply hose or connectors can also cause issues; soak them in warm water and clean. Verify the FaST PAK carton isn't empty and is properly connected. Clean any clogs in the flow control orifice or screen. Finally, ensure the FaST system is primed by operating it for 3 minutes.

Why is there no solution flow to the floor from my Tennant Floor Machine?
- B
  Beth JensenSep 10, 2025
  If your Tennant Floor Machine has little to no solution flow, the solution tank may be empty, so fill it. Check the solution control cable; replace or adjust it if broken or out of adjustment. Ensure the solution flow is turned on. Flush any plugged solution supply lines. Clean the solution supply line filter if it's dirty. If the solution solenoid is clogged or stuck, clean or replace it. Finally, if you're in ES mode, make sure the ES switch is turned on.

What causes the vacuum fan to fail on my Tennant Floor Machine due to optical sensors?
- L
  Leah RandolphSep 12, 2025
  If the vacuum fan of your Tennant Floor Machine won't turn on and it's related to the optical sensors, start by cleaning the recovery tank full sensors and reset the key switch. If there's an oily or ink film buildup on the recovery tank sensors, use the correct detergent. If operating in bright sunlight, install sensor sun shields.

How to improve scrubbing performance of my Tennant Floor Machine?
- D
  Desiree JacksonSep 14, 2025
  If your Tennant Floor Machine isn't scrubbing well, start by removing any debris caught on the scrub brushes. Check with a TENNANT representative for advice on the proper detergent, brush, or pad to use. Replace worn scrub brushes or pads. Reset any tripped scrub brush motor circuit breakers. Reduce scrub brush down pressure if needed, and level the scrub head if there's uneven brush pressure. If you have a cylindrical scrub head, check for broken brush drive belts and replace them. Make sure to charge the batteries until the charger automatically turns off if the battery charge is low and increase tire pressure if it is low.
