Maintaining your floor scrubber is essential for keeping it in top working condition and extending its lifespan. Regular service visits not only ensure your machine operates efficiently but can also help prevent costly repairs down the road. At Wisconsin Scrub & Sweep, we offer expert service and maintenance for a wide variety of floor care equipment, including automatic floor scrubbers and sweepers. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during a typical maintenance visit for your floor scrubber.
1. Thorough Inspection of Key Components.
During a maintenance visit, the technician will begin by inspecting the critical parts of your floor scrubber. This includes:
- Scrubbing Brushes or Pads: These will be checked for wear and tear. If they are too worn, they can reduce cleaning efficiency and damage floors. Replacing them regularly ensures optimal performance.
- Squeegee Blades: Worn or damaged squeegees can leave water and debris behind, leading to poor cleaning results. The technician will inspect the blades for signs of wear and may recommend replacements if necessary.
- Solution and Recovery Tanks: Both tanks are thoroughly inspected for any cracks or leaks, which can affect performance and lead to costly repairs.
Ensuring all these components are in good condition is key to maximizing your machine's cleaning power and longevity. Learn more about our equipment servicing options here.
2. Battery and Electrical System Check.
For battery-powered floor scrubbers, a well-maintained battery is crucial. During a service appointment, the technician will:
- Check Battery Levels: They’ll verify that your battery is holding a charge and ensure it is functioning efficiently.
- Inspect Electrical Components: The charger, cables, and connections will be checked for corrosion or damage. Any signs of electrical issues will be addressed promptly to avoid equipment downtime.
At Wisconsin Scrub & Sweep, we specialize in maintaining wet cell batteries, providing customers with tips on proper care to extend battery life.
3. Fluid and Filter Maintenance.
Just like in cars, fluids and filters in floor scrubbers need regular attention. During your service visit, the technician will:
- Inspect Fluid Levels: If your machine uses solution fluid or oil, they will ensure these levels are adequate.
- Check and Replace Filters: Filters play a vital role in keeping the solution and recovery systems clean. The technician will clean or replace filters as needed to maintain optimal performance.
Routine filter maintenance ensures that your scrubber operates efficiently and provides a thorough clean every time.
4. Software and Calibration Checks.
Modern floor scrubbers often come equipped with software systems that control everything from brush speed to water usage. During a maintenance visit, the technician will:
- Update Software: If your floor scrubber has any available software updates, the technician will install them to improve functionality.
- Calibrate Settings: The technician will recalibrate your machine’s settings to ensure it is performing at its best. This can include adjusting brush pressure, water flow, and vacuum power for optimal cleaning results.
At Wisconsin Scrub & Sweep, we ensure your floor scrubber is always up to date with the latest software and settings.
5. Final Performance Test.
Once all the components have been inspected, cleaned, or replaced, the technician will perform a final performance test. This test ensures that the scrubber is operating efficiently and delivering the best possible results. If any issues remain, they can be addressed on the spot before your equipment is returned to service.
