Installing The Batteries

WARNING: Lead-acid batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. ? Keep covers open when charging. ?

To ensure safety: Wear necessary personal protective equipment when servicing the machine. Avoid contact with battery acid. ☣️

Battery specifications: Requires two 12-volt deep-cycle batteries. Battery capacity is 120Ah@3hr. Contact dealer or Tennant for battery recommendations.

To ensure safety: When servicing batteries, lift them using a hoist or suitable auxiliary equipment. ?️

To ensure safety: Before leaving or servicing the machine, park the machine on a level surface, turn off the machine and remove the key. ?️?

1. Lift the recovery tank to gain access to battery compartment. ⬆️
2. Carefully install the batteries into battery compartment tray and arrange battery terminals as shown.
3. Using the supplied battery terminal protective cover to connect the cords to the battery terminals, with the red one connected to positive (+) and black one connected to negative (-). Tighten cable connections to the batteries per battery manufacturer's specifications. ?

How The Machine Works

A mixture of water and cleaning solution is sprayed from the solution tank onto the floor and cleaned by a rotating brush/pad. As the machine moves forward, the squeegee and vacuum fan suck the dirty water from the floor into the recovery tank.

Brushes and Pads Information

For best results, use the correct brush or pad for cleaning applications. Below is a list of brushes and pads and the best application scenario.

Note: The amount and type of soil is important in deciding what type of brush or pad to use. For specific advice, please contact Tennant service representatives.

• Soft nylon scrub brush (white) -
• Pad driver -

Machine Installation

Attaching The Squeegee Assembly

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine, stop on level surface, turn off machine, and remove key. ?️?

Batteries

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine, stop on level surface, turn off machine, and remove key. ?️?

? Battery life is closely related to proper maintenance. To maximize battery life:

• Do not leave batteries in a partially discharged state for long periods of time. ⚠️
• Charge in a well ventilated area to prevent gas build-up. ?
• Fully charge the batteries with the charger before using the machine again.
• Check the fluid level weekly to ensure electrolyte level of the wet batteries is maintained at the proper level. ?

Your machine is equipped with lead-acid or maintenance-free (sealed AGM) batteries from Tennant.

FOR SAFETY: Keep batteries away from all metal objects while maintaining machine. Avoid contact with battery acid. ☣️

Maintenance Free Batteries

The maintenance-free (sealed AGM) batteries do not require watering. However, cleaning and other routine maintenance are still required.

• Check connections/cleaning
• After every 200 hours of use, check for loose battery connections and clean battery surfaces, including terminals and cord clamps, to avoid battery corrosion. Do not remove the battery cover when cleaning the batteries. ⚠️

Battery Charging

The charging instructions in this manual are for the battery charger supplied with the unit. Do not use other battery chargers not supplied and approved by Tennant.

If the machine is equipped with an external battery charger, refer to the charger user manual for operating instructions. ? If the machine is not equipped with batteries, contact your dealer or Tennant for battery charger recommendations. ?

FOR SAFETY: Do not use incompatible battery chargers, which may cause battery damage and potential fire. ?

1. ➡️ Move the machine to a well-ventilated place. ?

WARNING: Lead-acid batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. ? Keep covers open when charging. ?

2. If the machine is equipped with wet/lead-acid batteries, check the battery electrolyte level weekly before charging. ?

FOR SAFETY: Do not disconnect the external charger's DC power cord from the machine's outlet while the charger is running. Arc discharge may occur. If charging must be suspended during charging, unplug the AC power cord first. ⚡

3. The charger will start charging automatically and will automatically turn off when the batteries are full. ? The maximum charging period is 6-12 hours, depending on the battery type. ⏳

Note: Do not disconnect the battery cords when the charger is plugged into an outlet as this may damage the circuit board. ⚠️

4. For models equipped with an external charger, always disconnect the AC power cord before disconnecting the charger from the machine. ?
