What to do if my Tennant 6100 G/LP Floor Machine has excessive dusting?
- B
  Brooke JonesAug 1, 2025
  If your Tennant Floor Machine is producing excessive dust, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the vacuum fan is on by pressing the main brush, vacuum, and filter shaker switch to the 'on' position. Other potential issues include worn or damaged brush skirts and dust seals, which may need replacement or adjustment. A clogged hopper dust filter should be shaken, cleaned, or replaced. Check that the hopper fire door is open and that the hopper isn't full, requiring emptying. If none of these steps resolve the issue, the vacuum fan may have failed, and you should contact Tennant service personnel.

Why is my Tennant Floor Machine sweeping poorly?
- R

  Poor sweeping performance in your Tennant Floor Machine can stem from several issues. Check the brush bristles for wear and replace them if necessary. Ensure the main and side brushes are properly adjusted. Debris caught in the main brush drive mechanism can also hinder performance, so remove any obstructions. Other potential causes include a full hopper (empty it), worn or damaged hopper lip skirts (replace them), or a clogged hopper dust filter (shake, clean, or replace it). Also, make sure that the operator is in the seat. For issues like main or side brush drive failure, or if you have the wrong sweeping brush, contact Tennant service personnel or a Tennant representative.
