Introduction
Today, floor cleaning has long since shifted from manual mopping to mechanization. The advent of industrial floor scrubbers has significantly improved cleaning efficiency and sanitation standards. However, even the most advanced cleaning equipment can malfunction due to frequent use, inadequate maintenance, or improper operation.
Therefore, regular maintenance and professional floor scrubber service are crucial. Proper maintenance not only avoids downtime losses, but also significantly extends the life of the equipment and reduces energy consumption.
5 Floor Scrubber Common Issues
In daily use, users often encounter the following problems:
Poor Water Flow
Phenomenon: Insufficient or complete cessation of cleaning liquid spray
Possible Causes: Nozzle clogging, pump malfunction, filter scaling
Weak Suction
Symptom: Dirt remains on the floor after cleaning
Possible Causes: Deterioration of the suction strips, a leak in the vacuum system, or a clogged wastewater tank
Short Battery Life
Symptom: The device's operating time is reduced, requiring more frequent charging
Possible Causes: Battery aging, improper charging methods, or poor electrical connections
Decreased Cleaning Power
Symptom: Incomplete floor cleaning or incomplete brush rotation
Possible Causes: Loose belt, worn brush, motor failure
Strange Noise or Vibration
Symptom: The machine makes unusual noises during operation
Possible Causes: Bearing damage, improper brush installation, or foreign matter stuck in the bottom
Quick Fixes You Can Try
Before contacting professional services, trying the following basic maintenance steps:
Cleaning the filtration system: Regularly disassemble and clean the nozzle and filter to avoid blockage
Check the water absorption component: Make sure the water absorption strip is clean and in contact with the ground
Battery maintenance: Keep the battery dry, avoid overcharging or deep discharge
Check the brush plate and belt: Make sure they are firmly installed and there is no foreign matter stuck in them
Check the power supply: Make sure the scrubber is turned on, the battery is fully charged, or the power plug is firmly connected
Check switches: Check if all main function switches are in the correct position, including brush/needle lift pedals, water suction scraper lift switches, etc
Check the water tank: Ensure that there is enough water in the clean water tank and that the tank cover is properly sealed
Check the sewage tank: Ensure that the sewage tank is not full and the float valve is not stuck by dirt
Tip: If the fault recurs frequently or the equipment performance deteriorates significantly, it is recommended to contact a professional floor scrubber service in time to prevent small problems from turning into major damage.
