A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

The staff in the A3 Machines office took a call from a customer reporting an issue with their Tennant 5680 floor cleaning machine.

The cleaning staff relied on the Karcher BR40/25C Scrubber Dryer to clean the floors of the store and so needed it the machines operational as quickly as pos...
