OPERATION

5700XP 331533 (9--06)

HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

The scrub components of the machine are a

solution tank, scrub brushes, a squeegee, a

vacuum fan, and a recovery tank.

Water and detergent, from the solution tank, flow

to the floor through a solution valve to the scrub

brushes. The brushes scrub the floor. As the

machine is moved forward the squeegee wipes

the dirty solution off the floor, which is then picked

up and drawn into the recovery tank.

The steering handles control the direction and

speed of the machine in forward or reverse. By

rotating the steering handles forward, the machine

propels forward. By rotating the handles towards

you the machine propels backward.

When using the ES mode, the dirty solution in the

recovery tank is filtered and returned to the

solution tank to be reused.

Three different widths of scrub heads and

squeegees are available for the machine, along

with two different brush types.

The scrub head widths are as follows; the model

700 (700 mm (28 in)), the model 800 (800 mm

(32 in)), and the model 900 (900 mm (36 in)). The

700 mm (28 in) squeegee is used with the 700

model scrub head, as well as the 800 mm (32 in)

with the model 800, and the 900 mm (36 in) with

the model 900. The two available brush types are

disk and cylindrical.

OPERATION

5700XP 331533 (3--08)

FaST SCRUBBING SYSTEM (OPTION)

The FaST (Foam Scrubbing Technology) system

operates by injecting the FaST PAK concentrate

agent (A) into the system with a small amount of

water and compressed air. This mixture creates a

large volume of expanded wet foam.

The expanded foam mixture is then dispersed

onto the floor (B) while the machine is scrubbing.

When the squeegee picks up the mixture, the

patented foaming agent has collapsed and is

recovered into the recovery tank.

The FaST system can be used with all double

scrubbing and heavy duty scrubbing applications.

Using the FaST system can increase productivity

by 30% by reducing your dump/fill cycle. It will

also reduce chemical usage and storage space.

One FaST PAK of concentrated agent can scrub

up to 1 million sq. ft.

NOTE: Do not enable the FaST system with

conventional cleaning detergents in the solution

tank. Drain, raise and refill the solution tank with

clear cool water only before operating the FaST

system. Conventional cleaning detergents/

restorers may cause failure to the FaST solution

system.

NOTE: Storage or transporting machines

equipped with FaST in freezing temperatures

requires special procedures. Check with a

TENNANT representative for advice.

OPERATION

5700XP 331533 (10--08)

ec- H2O SYSTEM (OPTION)

The ec--H2O (electrically converted water) system

operates by producing electrically activated water

for cleaning.

Normal water passes through a module where it is

oxygenated and charged with an electric current.

The electrically converted water changes into a

blended acidic and alkaline solution forming a

neutral pH cleaner. The converted water attacks

the dirt, breaks it into smaller particles, and pulls it

off the floor surface 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 refill the solution tank with

clear cool water only before operating the ec--H2O

system. Conventional cleaning detergents/

restorers may cause failure to the ec--H2O

solution system.

INSTALLING FaST PAK AGENT (OPTION)

NOTE: Machine must be equipped with the FaST

option before the FaST PAK agent can be

installed.

1. Remove the perforated knock--outs from the

FaST PAK Floor Cleaning Concentrate

carton. Do not remove the bag from the

carton. Pull out the bag’s hose connector on

the bottom of the bag and remove the hose

cap from the connector.

NOTE: The FaST PAK Floor Cleaning

Concentrate is specifically designed for use

with the FaST system scrubbing application.

NEVER use a substitute, machine damage will

result.

FOR SAFETY: When using machine,

always follow the handling instructions

on chemical container.

2. Empty the solution tank. See the DRAINING

AND CLEANING THE TANKS section of the

manual.

NOTE: When scrubbing with the FaST system

option, use clean water only. Do not add cleaning

agents in the solution tank. Conventional cleaning

agents/restorers may cause failure to the FaST

solution system..

3. Raise the solution tank and remove the front

cover to access the FaST PAK carton.

4. Place the FaST PAK carton in the carton

holder under the front cover of the machine.

Connect the supply hose to the FaST PAK

bag.

NOTE: If any dried concentrate is visible on the

supply hose connector or the on the FaST PAK

connector, soak and clean with warm water.

5. Make sure to connect the supply hose onto

the hose storing plug when the supply hose

is not connected to the FaST PAK. This will

prevent the FaST solution system from

drying out and clogging up the hose.

6. When replacing an empty FaST PAK carton,

allow the new FaST PAK detergent to

gravity feed into the system for several

minutes prior to operating the FaST system.

If the detergent does not flow out of the

FaST PAK, simply squeeze and release the

hose several times. If the previous FaST

PAK was run dry, it may take up to 3

minutes of operation to remove any air

pockets in the system before you achieve

maximum foaming.

NORMAL SCRUBBING

DPick up oversized debris before scrubbing.

Pick up pieces of wire, string, twine, etc.,

which could become wrapped around the

scrub brush.

DPlan the scrubbing in advance. Try to

arrange long runs with minimum stopping

and starting. Do an entire floor or section at

one time.

DTry to scrub as straight a path as possible.

Avoid bumping into posts or scraping the

sides of the machine. When scrubbing dead

end aisles, start at the closed end of the

aisle and scrub your way out. Overlap the

scrub paths by a few centimeters (inches).

DIf you see poor scrubbing performance, stop

scrubbing and refer to MACHINE

LUBRICATION

REAR CASTERS

The rear casters each have one grease fitting on

the caster swivel. Lubricate the caster with a

grease gun containing Lubriplate EMB grease

(TENNANT part no. 01433--1) every 100 hours of

machine operation.

TRANSAXLE

Check the transaxle lubricant level every 1000

hours of operation by removing one of the orange

filler plugs. If needed, add SAE 90 weight gear

lubricant.

BATTERIES

The batteries are unique in that they hold their

power for long periods of time. The lifetime of the

batteries is limited by the number of charges the

batteries receive. To get the most life from the

batteries, charge them when the battery discharge

indicator blinks.

Periodically clean the top surface of the batteries

and the terminals, and check for loose

connections. Use a strong solution of baking soda

and water. Brush the solution sparingly over the

battery tops, terminals, and cable clamps. Do not

allow any baking soda solution to enter the

batteries. Use a wire brush to clean the terminal

posts and the cable connectors. After cleaning,

apply a coating of clear battery post protectant to

the terminals and the cable connectors. Keep the

tops of the batteries clean and dry.

Home

MAINTENANCE

5700XP 331533 (9--06)

Keep all metallic objects off the top of the

batteries, which may cause a short circuit.

Replace any worn or damaged wires.

Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell

before and after charging, and after every 50

hours of operation. Do not charge the batteries

unless the fluid is slightly above the battery plates.

If needed, add just enough distilled water to cover

the plates. Never add acid to the batteries. Do not

overfill. Always keep the battery caps on, except

when adding water or taking hydrometer readings.

Measuring the specific gravity, using a

hydrometer, is a way to determine the charge

level and condition of the batteries. If one or more

of the battery cells test lower than the other

battery cells (0.050 or more), the cell is damaged,

shorted, or is about to fail.

NOTE: Do not take readings immediately after

adding distilled water. If the water and acid are not

thoroughly mixed, the readings may not be

accurate. Check the hydrometer readings against

the following chart to determine the remaining

battery charge level:

SPECIFIC GRAVITY

at 27_C(80_F)

1.265 100% Charged

1.223 75% Charged

1.185 50% Charged

1.148 25% Charged

1.110 Discharged

NOTE: If the readings are taken when the battery

electrolyte is any temperature other than 27_C

(80_F), the reading must be temperature

corrected. Add or subtract to the specific gravity

reading 0.004, 4 points, for each 6_C(10_F)

the machine for extended periods of time.

1. Drain and clean the solution and recovery

tanks.

2. Park the machine in a cool, dry area.

3. Remove the batteries, or charge them after

every three months.

FREEZE PROTECTION

1. Drain the solution tank and recovery tank of

all water.

2. Pour 2 gallons (8 liters) of recreational

vehicle (RV) antifreeze into the solution tank

at full strength. Do not dilute.

FOR SAFETY: Avoid eye contact with

antifreeze. Wear safety glasses.

3. Turn the machine power on and operate the

solution flow system. Turn the machine off

when the red RV antifreeze is visible.

If your machine is equipped with the

off--aisle wand option, operate the off--aisle

wand for a few seconds to protect the pump.

ec--H2O module to cycle the antifreeze

through ec--H2O system.When the

antifreeze is visible, press the switch again

to turn off the module. The module is located

behind the front cover.

IMPORTANT: Before operating machine, the

antifreeze must be flushed from the module as

described below.

If the antifreeze is not properly flushed from the

ec--H2O system, the ec--H2O module may detect

an error and not function (ec--H2O switch

indicator light will turn red). If this occurs, reset

key and repeat the flush procedure as described

below.

Flushing antifreeze from ec- H2O module:

1. Drain the antifreeze from the solution tank

into a bucket.

2. Fill the solution tank with cool water until full

(See FILLING SOLUTION TANK).

3 Disconnect the black connector fitting at the

scrub head and place the hose into a

bucket. To access the connector fitting, you

may have to remove the front cover from the

machine.
