5 Tips for Saving on Battery Costs

We all know batteries are the most expensive replacement item on any battery operated equipment ie. Auto Scrubbers, Burnishers and Sweepers. Wet/Lead Acid Batteries require routine maintenance. If you follow these simple tips below, you can extend the life of your batteries and save money in your budget.

1. Wet/Lead Acid batteries require watering periodically and always use Distilled Water.
2. Do Not Add Too Much Distilled Water. Add water to 1/8 below the vent well after fully charging the batteries
3. Charge the batteries when you have 20-50% life left. Make sure you fully charge the machine. A good rule of thumb is every 1hr of run time requires 2 hrs of charging time.
4. Make sure your electrical connections are clean. Vent caps should be closed tight. You can clean any corrosion using an Alkaline Cleaner such as a Degreaser, All Purpose Cleaner, or Peroxide Cleaner. You can also use a Baking Soda/Water mix. Use a rag or wire brush for best results. if extensive corrosion exists, remove the battery cables and clean until you see a shiny metallic surface. Reconnect your wires and spray an anti-corrosion chemical to reduce corrosion in the future. You can use Vaseline if no anti-corrosion chemical is available.
5. Get on a Planned Maintenance Schedule. If you feel your staff is not capable of following the 4 Tips above, contact your local service center and get on a Planned Maintenance Schedule. It will cost less to have a technician check your machine every 4 months then it is to replace the batteries. You may also consider implementing a battery watering kit.

3 Facts About Filters

Air Filters are you first line of defense in the vacuum system. If not inspected and replaced regularly, you could experience issues.

1. A dirty filter will often lead to a clog in your vacuum line. Since a dirty filter impedes air flow, the dirt/debris being retrieved may not make its way into the recovery tank.

2. Filters clean the air we breath. Therefore maintaining a clean air filter is beneficial to all.

3. Many systems have more than one filter. Check with your local distributor's service center to make sure all filters are being inspected and replaced.

The Importance of Replacing Vacuum Bags

As your vacuum bag fills with dirt, debris, and dust, the vacuum suction reduces significantly. The majority of equipment manufactured today is designed to retrieve 80% of it's capacity before suction is compromised. Therefore, bags should be checked regularly depending upon usage to ensure optimum performance.
