  If the squeegee on your Tornado Floor Machine isn't drying properly, start by ensuring the squeegee rubbers are clean. Also, check the height and inclination of the squeegee. Make sure the suction hose is correctly inserted into the recovery tank and clean the suction filter. Replace the rubbers if they are worn out, and confirm that the vacuum motor switch is turned on.

  If your Tornado Floor Machine isn't cleaning effectively, the brushes might be the issue. If the brushes have worn bristles (less than .6 inches), replace them. Also ensure that you are opening the solution valve enough to provide sufficient detergent and that the liquid detergent is in the recommended percentage. You may need to increase the brush base pressure.

Why is my Tornado 99720 BD 26/14 Floor Machine producing excessive foam?

  To address excessive foam production in your Tornado Floor Machine, verify that you are using a low foam detergent. If the problem persists, add small quantities of anti foam liquid into the recovery tank. Be aware that a bigger quantity of foam is produced when the floor is not very dirty, so dilute the detergent solution in this case.

  If there's insufficient water on the brushes of your Tornado Floor Machine, first check that the solution valve lever is open. Next, check the level of the liquid in the solution tank. Also, ensure that the solution filter is clean. Since the machine is equipped with a solenoid valve, rotate the drive control levers.
