Questions and Answers:

Why is my Tennant Floor Machine causing excessive dusting?
- L
  Lisa MoranJul 28, 2025
  Excessive dusting from your Tennant Floor Machine can occur if the vacuum fan is off; turn it on. It may also happen if the hopper dust filter or Perma-Filter is clogged; in this case, shake or replace the dust filter and clean the Perma-Filter. Another cause could be worn, damaged, or misadjusted brush skirts and dust seals; replace or adjust them. A damaged vacuum fan seal can also cause this issue, so replace the vacuum fan seal. Finally, allow Thermo-Sentry to cool if it has tripped.
