NOTE: If standing water is to be picked up in
addition to the solution put down by machine, do
not fill tank all of the way. This will allow more
water to be picked up before the ball float shutoff
is actuated.
WARNING: Flammable Materials Can
Cause An Explosion Or Fire. Do Not Use
Flammable Materials In Solution Tank.
SRS machines: Pour liquid detergent into
the cleaning solution tank -- not the solution
tank. Do not use powdered detergent or any
other detergent not designed for the SRS
application. Replace the cleaning solution
tank fill cap.
FOR SAFETY: When using machine,
follow mixing and handling instructions
on chemical containers.
NOTE: Floor conditions, water condition, amount
of soilage, type of soilage, brush action, and
squeegee action all play an important role in
determining the type and the concentration of
detergent to be used. For specific
recommendations, contact the local TENNANT
representative.

TO SCRUB
Plan the scrubbing in advance. Try to arrange
long runs with minimum stopping and starting. Do
an entire floor or section at one time.
Pick up oversize debris before scrubbing.
Remove bulky debris from aisles before
scrubbing. Pick up pieces of wire, twine, string,
etc., which could become entangled in brush or
brush plugs.
Allow a few inches overlap of brush paths.
Do not turn steering wheel too sharply when the
machine is in motion. It is very responsive to the
movement of the steering wheel. Avoid sudden
turns, except in emergencies.
Try to scrub as straight a path as possible. Avoid
bumping into posts or scraping the sides of the
machine.
1. Drive the machine to the area to be
scrubbed.
2. Move the scrub head position lever to the
“RAISE” position to release the scrub head
lock.
3. Move the scrub head lock lever to the
“UNLOCK” position.
4. Place the squeegee switch in the “DOWN”
position.
5. Move the solution lever back to start the
solution flow.
For SRS machines: Turn the cleaning
solution knob to the desired cleaning
solution flow.
6. Move the scrub brush switch to the “ON”
position.
7. Scrub as required.
WARNING: Flammable materials or
reactive metals can cause explosion or
fire. Do not pick up.
