Hi, I’m Scott from Alpha Power Cleaners. Today I’m going to be showing you how to drain and flush the recovery tank on a Tenant M20 floor scrubber dryer. It can gain access via the lid which has a arm that will prop it up and keep it safely in place. So, you would drive your machine up to your drain location. Remove the drain hose over your drain. Release the clamp which will allow the water to flow.
It’s important that the tank is emptied. Every time the clean tank is full filled, it is a tank to a tank. And whilst emptying the tank, it would wherever possible be best to flush the tank through with a clean water to prevent buildup of debris and sludge in the bottom of the tank. Whilst in the tank, it’s also worth checking the vacuum filter, making sure it’s clear and the electronic float to make sure there’s no debris around it and it’s not going to give you any issues. To replace the hose, block the clamp back off. Pop the hose back onto its location. Drop the lid. Ready to go.
