A simple preventive maintenance schedule

A little consistency keeps machines going far longer. A small check each week prevents big trouble later.

Weekly inspection steps

     Check squeegee rubbers for tears

     Rinse recovery and solution tanks

     Inspect the filter screen

     Wipe dust from the vacuum motor cover

     Look for loose caps, knobs, or hoses

A five-minute walk-around can save hours later.

Monthly parts checks

     Inspect brushes and pads for wear

     Test the charger and battery leads

     Look at vacuum hoses for small cracks

     Clear any debris around the motor intake

Monthly checks catch gradual wear before it becomes a real problem.

Quarterly and annual replacements

High-use environments, like public car parks and shopping centers, should replace certain parts on a set schedule.

Typical replacement cycle:

     Brushes & pads: every 3–6 months

     Squeegee blades: every 3 months

     Filters: every 6 months

Vacuum motors: every 12–18 months
