  If the Tennant Floor Machine circuit breaker trips continuously, it could be due to a heavily soiled pad or brush. Try cleaning or replacing the pad or brush. It may also happen if you are using an improper pad or brush for the application, in which case you should change to the proper pad or brush. Other potential causes are a defective circuit breaker or worn carbon brushes in the motor, which would require contacting a service center.
