  • Autoscrubbers are reliable and durable, but as
    with any mechanical device, maintenance is
    required to keep it running optimally. The more
    care you put into them regularly, the longer
    theyll last. Care should always be preventative
    rather than reactionary.

3
  • Most floor scrubbers on the market are
    battery-powered. The battery pack is the most
    expensive component on the machine and a lack of
    battery maintenance is the cause of most required
    fixes. It is critical that distilled water is
    added as needed, the battery is kept charged, and
    the terminals are kept clean and tight. Ideally,
    this should be done weekly.

4
  • It is important to keep the autoscrubber clean.
    This includes thoroughly rinsing the recovery
    tank, cleaning and inspecting the brushes and pad
    drivers, and cleaning filters regularly. Also,
    dont forget to clean the solution tank filter
    screen.

5
  • It takes dedication, but the floor scrubber
    should be flushed after each use. This is
    critical because floors often arent swept
    properly prior to using the machine, which is the
    main culprit leading to issues. Flushing the
    solution prevents clogs in the solution lines.

6
  • It is important to not use the autoscrubber as a
    stripping machine. It is not meant to pick up the
    sludge that results from putting stripping
    solution down. Without proper cleaning, the
    stripping solution builds up in the machine,
    causing serious problems. Additionally, scrubbing
    a rough floor speeds wear and tear.

7
  • Inspect hoses for cracks, damage, and leaks
  • Clean the solution tank filter screen
  • Inspect wheels and casters
  • Lubricate wheels and apply grease to all fittings
  • Test the brake system operation

8
  • Adjust drive chains
  • Lubricate chains, pins, and shafts at pivot
    points
  • Check skirts, housings, latches, and hinges
  • Check the float shut-off operation
  • Check sealing lids and gaskets

9
  • Adjust the squeegee as needed
  • Check the squeegee cable
  • Inspect the solution valve operation
  • Inspect the vacuum operation and resurface as
    needed
  • Deodorize the recovery tank

    time and labor costs. With regular maintenance
