Great video lots of good information. Very detailed. I don’t think you missed anything. The only thing is if have one that is community. Everybody needs to be on the same wave about understanding it, and taking care of it. It only takes one person to ruin your day. When you start to use it and find out somebody did not take care of it. Like leave dirty water in the top bay. Or possibly leave it all clogged up. I always left it, cleaned up and ready for the next person. Thanks again for the great video

I’m a head custodian for an elementary school. I also have a walk behind auto scrubber so once a week I check and Maintence the auto to make sure to check the pads, squeegee, hoses, batteries, etc.. are in good shape. Luckily our district has a fantastic mechanics team, and they get to our stuff pretty quickly when it needs to be fixed. They tell me the biggest biggest things on the machines that are important to take care off are the batteries, as they can be extremely expensive. If they ever as for your input on a auto scrubber to buy, you should tell them to get a Tomcat walk behind auto scrubber. These are awesome. You can also dry strip the floor. I remember that video you did with the square scrub. It’s like that, but a walk behind Version and you can scrub with it. I’ll include a link if your curious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGXdi5Sri9pjb6c Sorry this is long. I’m a custodial nerd lol.

Mr. Jeff I work for A middle school as A Custodian and I have A big prob. How do I stop kids from flooding the restrooms toilets and putting poo on the stall walls?

That is a problem I never could solve when I Worked in public schools. I tried to always narrow it do to a time frame when it was happening. Actually I would catch them I. The act. Then I would match them up to the office. Very hard to police bathrooms when you have other things to do. I know how flustering it is. Wish I knew of a true solution. Sometimes I would get principal to send out and email to teachers. To get other kids to watch out for the ones that where doing the mess. Getting kids on board help more than anything. But still at times It was hopeless.

I've been doing overtime at another school this week and I had to take the squeegee off the scrubber dryer and clean it out before I could use it. The pipe was full of dried up dust balls, pieces of mop and plastic straw wrappers. It's just complete laziness when machines get into that state.

I had to strip the machine apart and pour clean water down the waste pipe to flush out all the gunk that was blocking it. The floor was noticeably cleaner after. This is one of the reasons why I prefer to work on my own.

I completely understand what you’re saying at our district they will hire anybody you do not have to have any communication skills or knowledge of the work that needs to be performed. There’s no training or leader ship. They just hand you a piece of paper with your area and rooms. I’m sure it’s not this way in all the districts. I hope.

If you take the filer off and turn water value to open it will drain. It’s slow But it will drain. Take it outside on side walk. Just make sure to put pad down so It wants to roll off.

We just had our minuteman e20 sport serviced and batteries replaced unfortunately they are water based batteries I check the level all the time and fill as needed but the machine dosent give me a full run time I’m gonna say like maybe 3-4 hours tops. Is this normal?

yes, the machine running at %80 for 4 hours is usually pretty close to standard run time for walk behind scrubbers
