Hello, I’m Dave from Alpha Power Cleaners. I’m going to show you how to empty a dirty water tank on a Tennant T7 ride-on machine.

The dirty water tank is located at the back of the machine. The dirty water hose to drain the machine is located on the right hand side. To empty the machine, all you have to do is remove the cap on the dirty water tank hose and lay the hose on the floor. This will empty the machine.

To clean the empty water tank, lift the seat and lift the dirty water tank lid. This will expose the dirty water tank, which will enable you to rinse any debris from the tank.

There’s also a filter inside there that you will need to clean. And you would also see a nodding donkey sensor, which is an electronic sensor that tells the machine once it’s full and it needs to be emptied.
