OPERATION
HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
The scrub components of the machine are a
solution tank, scrub brushes or pads, a squeegee,
a vacuum fan, and a recovery tank.
The buttons on the control panel control the
machine scrubbing functions. The
1-Step button
turns the preset scrub functions on and off.
The
ec-H2O
button
(option) enables the
ec-
H2O
Nanoclean
(electrically converted water)
system. The
vacuum fan/squeegee button
turns
the vacuum fan on/off and raises and lowers the
squeegee. The brush pressure buttons control the
scrub brush pressure, and the solution buttons
control the solution
fl
ow.
The steering wheel controls the path of the
machine travel. The
directional switch
controls the
forward or reverse direction of the machine. The
propel pedal controls the speed of the machine.
The brake pedal slows and stops the machine.
NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play an
important role in determining the type of brushes
or pads to use. For speci
fi
c recommendations, see
the BRUSH INFORMATION section of this manual
or contact a Tennant representative.
The machine is equipped with BrainOS software
that is accessible via the
User Interface (UI)
touchscreen
, also known as the
UI touchscreen
.
BrainOS technology offers a robotic mode feature
that provides the ability for the machine to perform
fl
oor cleaning by following one of the saved
navigation routes without direct, real-time operator
control. The machine can only operate in robotic
mode in areas where cleaning routes have been
taught and saved. The
UI touchscreen
allows an
operator to teach a new cleaning route, run an
existing cleaning route robotically, access triggered
alert messages, and more. It also provides
constant visibility to current battery life and ROC
connection status.
Home location codes must be permanently
installed before the machine can be used in robotic
mode. A home location code is a unique code
identi
fi
er that the machine scans to determine its
current location, as well as any routes that have
been saved to that speci
fi
c home location code.
The machine is designed to work with up to 10
home location codes. Each home location code
can store up to 6 routes for a total of 60 routes.
CONVENTIONAL SCRUBBING
Water and detergent from the solution tank
fl
ow
to the
fl
oor through a solution valve. The brushes
use the detergent and water solution to scrub
the
fl
oor clean. As the machine propels forward,
the squeegee wipes the dirty solution from the
fl
oor. The suction created by the vacuum fan then
draws the dirty solution from the squeegee into the
recovery tank.
ec-H2O
SCRUBBING SYSTEM (OPTION)
When using the
ec-H2O Nanoclean
technology,
normal water passes through a module where it
is electrically converted into a cleaning solution.
The electrically converted water attacks the dirt,
allowing the machine to easily scrub away the
suspended soil. The converted water then returns
to normal water in the recovery tank.
The
ec-H2O
system can be used with all double
scrubbing applications.
NOTE: Do not enable the ec-H2O system with
conventional cleaning detergents in the solution
tank. Drain, raise and re
fi
ll the solution tank with
only clear cool water before operating the
ec-H2O system. Conventional cleaning detergents/
restorers may cause failure to the ec-H2O solution
system.
