MAINTENANCE GUIDES

How to Reduce Floor Scrubber Downtime

Downtime costs more than the repair. Cleaning still has to happen, usually through overtime or manual methods, and the disruption compounds across a site.

Hold the consumables you use most

A site-specific holding of approved squeegee blades, brushes or pads and filters may reduce disruption. Fit only operator-replaceable items covered by the supplied manual and training.

Schedule maintenance rather than reacting

Planned servicing fits into quiet periods; breakdowns never do. Book maintenance around your operating calendar.

Make reporting easy

A checklist beside the machine and a named person to report to stops small faults from being ignored until they stop the machine.

Standardise across sites

Operations running compatible machines across locations may be able to share consumables, training and service arrangements. Confirm compatibility and support scope for each model and site.
