What to do if my Tennant Floor Machine does not start?
- D
  David ByrdSep 12, 2025
  If your Tennant Floor Machine isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, make sure the parking brake switch is properly set. If that's not the issue, check if the glow plug needs heating. Also, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and that the engine oil level is sufficient. Overheating can also prevent starting, so verify the coolant level. Finally, investigate and correct any engine faults or warnings that might be preventing the engine from starting. Addressing these potential issues should help you get your machine up and running.

  Hunter JenkinsAug 30, 2025
  If the hopper on your Tennant Floor Machine won't lift or tilt, it could be due to a few reasons. Ensure the machine is on a level surface, as steep inclines can prevent proper function. Also, check that the parking brake switch is set and/or the service brake pedal is applied. An overloaded hopper can also cause this issue, so remove any excess debris. Finally, make sure the engine RPM is high enough to provide sufficient power for lifting and tilting.

What to do if my Tennant sentinel Blower is causing excessive dusting?
- J
  Janet PattersonSep 5, 2025
  If you're experiencing excessive dusting with your Tennant Blower, there are several potential causes. First, check if the brush skirts and dust seals are worn, damaged, or out of adjustment; if so, replace or adjust them. Make sure that the hopper is lowered completely and the rear door is closed and latched. Ensure the vacuum wand door is open and the vacuum fan is turned on. Also, the hopper dust filter might be clogged, so shake, clean, or replace it. In addition, check Thermo Sentry and reset it if tripped. If using wet dust control, ensure the water tank is full, the water pump and valves are on, and the filter isn't clogged. For a vacuum fan failure you should contact TENNANT service personnel.

  If your Tennant Blower doesn't start, there are several things you can check. Ensure the directional lever is in neutral. If the glow plug isn't heated, heat it. Make sure the fuel tank isn't empty and that the engine oil and coolant levels are adequate. Low engine oil pressure or high engine temperature can prevent starting. Fill the fuel tank, check engine oil level, and check coolant level.
