Hi, I’m Dave from Alpha Power Cleaners and today I’m going to show you how to charge a Tennant T7.
The charging panel on the T7 is on the front panel just below the seat. This is located with an Anderson plug and also a dead man switch. So when the plug is put in, it cuts the power to the machine so it can’t be moved, but it will charge the batteries.
Once charging the batteries, plug the charger into the wall – which is a 240V socket – open the lid on the T7 so it’s well ventilated, and follow normal battery charging procedures, making sure the batteries are nearly empty before charging.
Once the machine is flat, we advise you to charge the machine overnight to get a full charge into it.
Do not opportunity charge this machine – i.e. use the machine for 20 minutes and then put it on charge. Doing so will not only affect the running of the machine but could also result in a costly battery replacement bill.
