HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

T17 With Cylindrical Brushes

T17 With Disk Brushes

The 1−STEP button makes it possible toimmediately begin scrubbing by operating all thescrubbing functions.

When in the conventional scrub mode, a waterand detergent mixture is used to scrub the floor.

When in the optional ES (Extended Scrub) mode,the dirty solution in the recovery tank is filteredthrough the ES system and returned to thesolution tank for reuse. Detergent is then injectedinto the returned solution to revitalize the cleaningcapability of the solution.

When in the optional ec−H2O (electricallyconverted water) mode, normal water passesthrough a module where it is oxygenated andcharged with an electric current. The electricallyconverted water changes into a blended acidicand alkaline solution forming a neutral pH cleaner.The converted water attacks the dirt, breaks it intosmaller particles, and pulls it off the floor surfaceallowing the machine to easily scrub away thesuspended soil. The converted water then returnsto normal water in the recovery tank. The ec−H2Osystem can be used with all double scrubbing andheavy duty scrubbing applications.

BRUSH AND PAD INFORMATION

For best results, use the appropriate brush or padfor the cleaning application. Listed below arebrushes and pads and the applications for whicheach is best suited.

NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play animportant role in determining the type of brush orpad to use. Contact a Tennant representative forspecific recommendations.

Nylon brush (Cylindrical and Disk)* − Softernylon bristles are recommended for scrubbingcoated floors. Cleans without scuffing.

Heavy Duty Polypropylene brush (Disk) −Heavy duty polypropylene bristles provide a moreaggressive cleaning performance and can moreeasily lift compacted dirt, debris, and sand whileoffering excellent scrubbing performance.

Polypropylene brush (Cylindrical and Disk)* −General purpose polypropylene bristles lift lightlycompacted dirt without scuffing high-gloss coatedfloors.

Super AB brush (Cylindrical and Disk)* −Nylon fiber with an abrasive grit to remove stainsand compacted dirt. Aggressive action on anysurface. Performs well on buildup, grease, or tiremarks.

* This brush is also available for the side brush.

Stripping pad (Brown)− For stripping of floorfinish to prepare the floor for recoating.

Scrubbing pad (Blue) − For medium toheavy−duty scrubbing. Removes dirt, spills, andscuffs.

Buffing pad (Red) − For light duty scrubbingwithout removing floor finish.

Polishing pad (White) − For maintaining highlypolished or burnished floors.

High productivity stripping pad (Black) − Foraggressive stripping of heavy finishes or sealers,or for very heavy duty scrubbing. This pad canonly be used with the grip pad driver, not thetufted pad driver.

Surface preparation pad (Maroon) − For veryaggressive chemical free removal of floor finish toprepare the floor for re−coating

Grip pad driver − The grip−face backing allowspads to be fully used and holds pads in placewithout penetrating the pad. The spring−activatedcentering device works with all Tennant pads andallows for fast, easy pad replacement.

Tufted pad driver − Standard pad driver hasshort bristles, or “tufts,” on the back to hold thepad in place. This driver works with all Tennantpads except the black high productivity pad.

BATTERIES

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicingmachine, stop on level surface, turn offmachine, set parking brake (if equipped), andremove key.

The lifetime of the batteries depends on theirproper maintenance. To get the most life from thebatteries;

− Do not charge the batteries more than once aday and only after running the machine for aminimum of 15 minutes.

− Do not leave the batteries partially dischargedfor long period of time.

− Only charge the batteries in a well-ventilatedarea to prevent gas build up. Charge batteriesin areas with ambient temperatures 27�C(80�F) or less.

− Allow the charger to complete charging thebatteries before re-using the machine.

− Maintain the proper electrolyte levels offlooded (wet) batteries by checking levelsweekly.

CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

The flooded (wet) lead−acid batteries requireroutine maintenance as described below. Checkthe battery electrolyte level weekly.

NOTE: Do Not check the electrolyte level if themachine is equipped with the battery wateringsystem. Proceed to the BATTERY WATERINGSYSTEM (OPTION).

08247

FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, keepall metal objects off batteries. Avoid contactwith battery acid.

The level should be slightly above the batteryplates as shown before charging. Add distilledwater if low. DO NOT OVERFILL. The electrolytewill expand and may overflow when charging.After charging, distilled water can be added up toabout 3 mm (0.12 in) below the sight tubes.

Before Charging After Charging

NOTE: Make sure the battery caps are in placewhile charging. There may be a sulfur smell aftercharging batteries. This is normal.

MAINTENANCE−FREE BATTERIES

Maintenance−free batteries do not requirewatering. Cleaning and other routine maintenanceis still required.

CHECKING CONNECTIONS / CLEANING

After every 200 hours of use check for loosebattery connections and clean the surface of thebatteries, including terminals and cable clamps,with a strong solution of baking soda and water.Replace any worn or damaged wires. Do notremove battery caps when cleaning batteries.
