    • D
      Danielle BensonSep 8, 2025
      If your Tennant Scrubber isn't scrubbing well, try these steps: remove any debris from the brushes; contact a Tennant representative for recommendations regarding detergent or brushes pads; replace the scrub brushes or pads if they're worn; reduce the scrub brush down pressure if it's excessive; level the scrub head if the brush pressure is uneven; empty the debris trough if it's full; replace the belts if there are broken brush drive belts on the cylindrical scrub head; charge the battery until the charger automatically turns off if the battery charge is low.
