Why is my Tennant Floor Machine not picking up water?
- TThomas JacksonJul 27, 2025
If your Tennant Floor Machine isn't picking up water well, several factors could be at play. The float shut-off screen might be activated, in which case you should drain the recovery tank. Check for a loose drain hose plug and ensure it's securely capped. A clogged float shut-off screen can also cause this issue; remove the recovery lid and clean the screen. Other potential causes include air leakage around the recovery lid (re-position or replace gaskets), loose vacuum hose connections (secure them), a defective vacuum hose (replace it), loose vacuum hose cuffs (secure them to the hose), damaged, loose, or missing pickup head shoes (repair or replace them), or pulling the machine too fast (slow down the cleaning process).
