Filter Replacement Schedule
Maintaining a clean filtration system is vital for the Tennant T500’s vacuum performance and overall cleaning effectiveness. A clogged filter reduces suction power‚ impacting cleaning results and potentially damaging the vacuum motor. The recommended filter replacement schedule depends on usage frequency and operating conditions.
For typical use‚ replace the main vacuum filter every 6-12 months. However‚ in dusty environments or with heavy use‚ more frequent replacements – perhaps every 3-6 months – are advisable. Regularly inspect the filter for visible dirt and debris; if it appears heavily soiled‚ replace it immediately.
Don’t forget to check and clean or replace pre-filters more often‚ typically monthly‚ as they capture larger particles and protect the main filter. Utilizing genuine Tennant replacement filters ensures optimal performance and prevents damage to the vacuum system. Consistent filter maintenance contributes significantly to the longevity of your T500.
Brush Wear Indicators & Replacement
Regularly monitoring brush condition is crucial for effective scrubbing performance with the Tennant T500. Worn brushes reduce cleaning efficiency and can potentially damage the floor surface. Key wear indicators include frayed bristles‚ reduced bristle length‚ and uneven wear patterns.
Inspect brushes frequently – ideally‚ before each use. If bristles are significantly worn (less than ¼ inch remaining) or exhibit uneven wear‚ replacement is necessary. Using worn brushes forces the machine to work harder‚ increasing energy consumption and potentially causing motor strain.
Tennant offers various brush types (disk‚ SCB‚ PYPU‚ NYL) to suit different floor types and cleaning needs. Always replace brushes in pairs to maintain balanced scrubbing pressure and consistent cleaning results. Refer to the parts manual for the correct brush part number based on your T500’s serial number.
Squeegee Blade Replacement Procedure
Replacing the squeegee blades on your Tennant T500 is essential for maintaining optimal water recovery and a streak-free finish. Begin by ensuring the machine is powered off and disconnected from any power source. Locate the squeegee assembly and carefully release the retaining clips or fasteners securing the old blades.
Gently remove the worn blades‚ noting their orientation for correct installation of the new ones. Clean the squeegee assembly thoroughly‚ removing any debris or buildup. Install the new squeegee blades‚ ensuring they are properly seated and aligned within the assembly.
Secure the blades with the retaining clips or fasteners. Verify the blades make consistent contact with the floor surface. Improperly installed blades will result in water streaking or incomplete water recovery. Refer to the parts manual for specific blade part numbers and detailed diagrams.
