3. Setup and Installation

This section outlines the general procedure for installing or replacing the poly broom brush on your Tennant T7 floor scrubber. Always consult your T7 scrubber's specific manual for detailed, model-specific instructions.

1. Safety First: Ensure the Tennant T7 floor scrubber is turned off, unplugged (if applicable), and the key is removed to prevent accidental startup. Engage the parking brake if available.
2. Access Brush Area: Depending on your T7 model, you may need to raise the brush deck or tilt the machine to access the brush attachment area.
3. Remove Old Brush (if applicable): Locate the brush retaining mechanism. This typically involves releasing clips, levers, or rotating the brush to disengage it from the drive hub. Carefully lower and remove the old brush.
4. Inspect Drive Hub: Before installing the new brush, inspect the drive hub for any debris or damage. Clean if necessary.
5. Install New Brush: Align the new 16-inch Poly Broom Brush (1016633) with the drive hub. Ensure the brush's attachment points (e.g., lugs, slots) correctly engage with the drive hub's corresponding features.
6. Secure Brush: Engage the retaining mechanism to firmly secure the brush in place. Ensure it is seated correctly and does not wobble.
7. Verify Installation: Gently try to rotate the brush by hand to confirm it is securely attached and rotates freely without obstruction.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the Tennant 16-inch Poly Broom Brush is correctly installed, operate your Tennant T7 floor scrubber according to its primary operating manual. The poly bristles are designed for general-purpose scrubbing on various hard floor surfaces.

• Surface Suitability: This poly brush is effective for routine cleaning on sealed concrete, tile, vinyl, and other hard, non-abrasive floor types.
• Cleaning Solution: Use appropriate cleaning solutions as recommended by Tennant for your T7 scrubber and floor type.
• Brush Pressure: Adjust the brush pressure settings on your T7 scrubber as needed for the level of soil and floor type. Excessive pressure can lead to premature brush wear.
• Speed: Operate the scrubber at a consistent speed to ensure uniform cleaning.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your Tennant Poly Broom Brush will ensure its longevity and effective cleaning performance.

• Daily Inspection: After each use, inspect the brush for tangled debris (strings, hair, plastic), excessive wear, or damage to the bristles or brush block. Remove any debris.
• Cleaning: Rinse the brush thoroughly with clean water after each use to remove dirt and cleaning solution residue. Allow it to air dry completely before storage.
• Storage: Store brushes in a clean, dry area, preferably hanging or on a flat surface to prevent bristle deformation.
• Wear Indicators: Monitor the bristle length. When bristles become significantly worn down (e.g., to 1/2 inch or less), the brush's effectiveness will decrease, and it should be replaced.
• Replacement: Replace brushes in pairs (if using two) to ensure even wear and consistent cleaning performance.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues related to the brush, consider the following:

• Poor Cleaning Performance:
  • Check if bristles are excessively worn. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure correct brush pressure is applied.
  • Verify the appropriate cleaning solution is being used.
  • Inspect for debris tangled in bristles.
• Unusual Noise or Vibration:
  • Confirm the brush is securely installed and properly engaged with the drive hub.
  • Check for foreign objects caught under the brush or in the brush deck.
  • Inspect the brush for damage or deformation.
• Brush Not Rotating:
  • Ensure the brush is correctly installed and engaged with the drive hub.
  • Refer to the Tennant T7 scrubber's manual for troubleshooting drive motor or brush deck issues.

If problems persist, contact Tennant customer support or an authorized service technician.
