Cleaning Equipment Maintenance and Care: Five Keys to Extending the Life of Pinston Floor Scrubbers

In modern commercial and industrial environments, efficient floor cleaning equipment, such as Pinston walk-behind self-propelled floor scrubbers, has become indispensable tools. However, many users often overlook the importance of routine maintenance, resulting in shortened equipment lifespan and decreased performance. Today, we'll share five key maintenance tips to extend the lifespan of your Pinston floor scrubber and help you maximize its value.

Key 1: Proper Battery Charging and Care

The battery is the "heart" of a floor scrubber, and its condition directly impacts its efficiency and lifespan.

Charging Time: Charge after every use of more than 30 minutes to avoid complete battery depletion.

Charging Environment: Perform the operation in a well-ventilated area, and keep the battery compartment open during charging to prevent the risk of hydrogen gas accumulation.

Daily Inspection: Clean the battery terminals monthly, check for loose cables, and apply anti-corrosion spray.

Tip: Always fully charge the battery before long-term inactivity to avoid battery failure.

Key 2: Thoroughly Clean the Water Tank System

Residual liquid in the sewage and clean water tanks is a major cause of equipment corrosion:

Daily Draining: Immediately drain the sewage tank after operation and clean the float filter to prevent dirt from clogging the suction motor.

Regular Descaling: Rinse the clean water tank with hot water no higher than 60°C to prevent scale buildup that affects water flow.

Freeze Protection: All water tanks must be drained after use in cold regions to prevent ice from forming and damaging the structure.

Key 3: Careful Maintenance of the Brush Plate and Absorbent Strips

Components that directly contact the floor wear the fastest and require special attention:

Brush Plate/Scrubbing Pad Selection: Choose the appropriate type based on the floor material (e.g., soft nylon brushes for coated floors, black scouring pads for heavily soiled floors).

Absorbent Strip Adjustment: Check the absorbent strips daily for wear and rotate or replace them promptly to ensure efficient absorption.

Clean Storage: Disassemble and clean the brush plate after operation. Keep the brush plate elevated during storage to prevent deformation of the strips.

Key 4: Regular Inspection of Key Components

Preventive maintenance can significantly reduce the failure rate:

Monthly Inspection: Tighten screws, lubricate shafts, and check seals and pipes for leaks.

Quarterly Maintenance: Check motor carbon brushes for wear every 250 hours. If the length is less than 10mm, contact a service center for replacement.

Safety First: Always disconnect the battery cable before performing any maintenance to avoid the risk of electric shock.

Key 5: Proper Operation and Storage Practices

Improper use and storage can potentially damage the equipment:

Operating Tips: Maintain a cleaning speed of 45-60 meters per minute, and slow down when operating on slopes.

Shutdown Procedures: Park the equipment on level ground and remove the key when leaving it. Use a dedicated loading and unloading platform when moving it.

Storage Conditions: Store the equipment in a dry room, away from rain. Open the wastewater tank cover for ventilation when not in use for long periods of time.
