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 fixed with
some easy troubleshooting by the operator. Because there are so many scenarios, we’ve generated the top five 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 float 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 identified and corrected the issue.
Lower elbow of recovery hose and
squeegee assembly neck
Upper elbow of recovery hose and
recovery tank orifice
After checking for wear, wipe the
blade or flip it to a new edge

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.
Then, check the upper elbow and the recovery tank orifice. 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 orifice to ensure all the debris is removed.
If a clog isn’t identified in the recovery hose, check the squeegee neck by loosening the easy grip knobs, removing the squeegee
assembly and flipping it over. Clear the debris, and again, if a hose is available, rinse the squeegee opening.
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, flip to a new blade edge or order a replacement blade.
