Tennant Sweeper Scrubber M17

Battery watering system (option): Check hoses and connections for damage and wear

The optional battery watering system provides a safe and easy way to maintain the proper electrolyte levels in the batteries.

Check the battery watering system hoses and connections for damage or wear after every 100 hours.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine, stop on level surface, turn off machine, set parking brake, and remove key.

1. Lift the battery compartment cover open and engage the support.

2. Fully charge batteries prior to using the battery watering system. Do not add water to batteries before charging, the electrolyte level will expand and may overfl ow when charging. See CHARGING THE BATTERIES.

3. Connect the battery watering system hose to the water supply source.

NOTE: Water quality is important to maintain the life of the battery. Always use water that meets battery manufacturer requirements.

NOTE: The water supply to the battery water system must always be 7.57 LPM (2 GPM) or more. Use the purger to confi rm the water supply pressure. Refer to manufacturer Operator Manual for additional information.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine, stop on level surface, turn off machine, set parking brake (if equipped), and remove key.

Battery cells: Check electrolyte level

The lifetime of the battery depends on proper maintenance. To get the most life from the battery:

Do not leave the battery partially discharged for long period of time.

Only charge the battery in a wellventilated area to prevent gas build up. Charge batteries in areas with ambient temperatures 27°C (80°F) or less.

Maintain the proper electrolyte levels of the flooded (wet) battery by checking levels weekly.

Do not charge the battery more than once a day and only after running the machine for a minimum of 15 minutes.

Allow the charger to completely charge the battery before reusing the machine.

The flooded (wet) lead-acid battery requires routine maintenance as described below. Check the battery electrolyte level weekly.

Battery terminals and cables: Check and clean

Cylindrical brush drive belts: Check for damage and wear

Sweeping brush drive belts: Check for damage and wear

Steering chain: Lubricate and check for damage and wear

Steering gear chain: Lubricate and check for damage and wear

Hopper chains: Lubricate and check for damage and wear

Hopper lift arm pivots: Lubricate

Hydraulic Reservoir Maintenance

Hydraulic fluid level at operating temperature checked daily?

Hydraulic fluid level between the MIN and MAX markings on the hydraulic reservoir?

ATTENTION! Do not overfill the hydraulic fluid reservoir or operate the machine with a low level of hydraulic fluid in the reservoir. Damage to the machine hydraulic system may result.

Enter the current hours of operation

Has the hydraulic fluid reservoir been drained and refilled with new TennantTrue premium hydraulic fluid after every 2400 hours of operation?
