TROUBLESHOOTING
OPERATOR TOP FIVE TROUBLESHOOTING LIST
Because cleaning equipment can encounter a wide array of environments and debris, various issues can
arise that can be quickly xed with some easy troubleshooting by the operator. Because there are so many
scenarios, we’ve generated the top ve troubleshooting list that addresses the most common issues.
1. MACHINE ISN’T PICKING UP WATER OR IS LEAVING A FILM ON THE FLOOR
If your machine isn’t picking-up water, there are a few key areas of the machine to check. If the vacuum
seems to have a higher pitch than normal, the ball oat in the recovery tank has tripped because the
recovery tank is full and needs to be drained. Once drained, check that the water recovery is working. If it
is, then you’ve identied and corrected the issue.
1. If still not picking-up water, then it is likely you have a clog in the recovery hose. Start by checking the
recovery hose at the lower elbow connected to the squeegee assembly.
2. Then, check the upper elbow and the recovery tank orice. If debris is found, clear the clog with your
hands or a tool. Should you have a hose available, rinse the recovery hose and tank orice to ensure all the
debris is removed.
3. If a clog isn’t identied in the recovery hose, check the squeegee neck by loosening the easy grip knobs,
removing the squeegee assembly and ipping it over. Clear the debris, and again, if a hose is available, rinse
the squeegee opening.
4. If still not recovering properly, check your rear squeegee blade edge for wear or debris. If debris is
present, clean the blade. If the edge is worn to half the blade thickness, ip to a new blade edge or order a
replacement blade.
Finally, should you still have recovery issues, contact your distributor or Tornado for technical support.
