How to Use a Ride-On Scrubber Dryer to Clean Floors Efficiently

A ride-on scrubber dryer is a powerful floor cleaning machine designed for large areas like hospitals, malls, warehouses, factories, and parking spaces. To get the best performance and long life from your machine, it is important to use it correctly and maintain it regularly.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use a ride-on scrubber dryer, clean the machine, and check its key parts before operation.

Step 1: Check the Machine Before Use

Before starting the ride-on scrubber dryer, always inspect the machine to avoid damage and ensure safe operation.

Key Parts to Check:

• Main brush / scrub brush – Ensure it is clean and not worn out

• Squeegee blade – Check for cuts or damage for proper water pickup

• Water tank (solution tank) – Must be clean and empty

• Recovery tank – Ensure it is empty and clean

• Battery level – Fully charged for uninterrupted cleaning

Regular inspection improves performance and extends machine life.

Step 2: Clean the Machine Before Operation

Keeping your ride-on scrubber clean is very important for effective cleaning results.

• Remove dust, debris, or waste from the brush and squeegee

• Clean the recovery tank to avoid bad odor

• Wipe the machine body and control panel

• Make sure all pipes and hoses are properly connected

A clean machine delivers better floor cleaning and avoids breakdowns.

Step 3: Squeeze and Fix the Brush Properly

• Install the scrubber brush or pad correctly under the machine

• Ensure it is tightly fixed and aligned

• Check that the brush rotates freely

Proper brush installation helps in deep cleaning and protects the motor.

Step 4: Fill the Machine Tank with Water

• Fill clean water as per the machine capacity

• Do not overfill the tank

Adding Cleaning Chemical:

• Switch ON the machine

• Lower the brush and squeegee

• Start moving slowly and evenly

The machine will:

• Scrub the floor using the brush

Step 6: After Cleaning – Machine Care

After completing floor cleaning:

• Empty and wash the recovery tank

• Clean the brush and squeegee blades

• Rinse the solution tank with clean water

Regular after-use cleaning keeps your ride-on scrubber dryer in top condition.
