How to fit a solution tank on a Rotary Machine | Understanding and installing solution tanks for the Victor Rotary Machine

How to fit a solution tank on a Rotary Machine | Understanding your cleaning machines is crucial for efficient cleaning as well as ensuring health & safety for the user and preventing issues with the machine.  

Our Victor Rotary Machines are a cornerstone of our product line, and we prioritise providing comprehensive training for all users. However, maintenance tasks can sometimes be challenging. In this blog, we will walk you through a detailed, step-by-step guide to seamlessly install your solution tank. 

We will specifically explore the various solution tanks available for Victor floorcare machines and provide clear instructions on how to fit them onto your machines. 

How to fit a solution tank on a Rotary Machine | Choosing your solution tank

At Victor Floorcare, we offer two sizes of solution tanks to cater to different cleaning needs. (Tanks must be purchased separately to your machine) : 

• 7-litre tank: Ideal for smaller tasks.
• 15-litre tank: Perfect for larger areas or more extensive cleaning tasks. 
• Both tanks are designed to fit onto the machines in the same way, ensuring ease of use and flexibility. 

Fitting the solution tank

Here is step-by-step guide to fitting the solution tank onto your Victor floorcare machine:

• Identify the Bracket Section: Locate the bracket section on the front of the handle. This is where the two nuts on the back of the tank will fit. 

• Attach the Tank: Place the tank onto the brackets and tighten the nuts to secure it in place. 

• Connect the Lever: The lever on the tank controls the amount of water applied to the floor. Ensure the feed tube is connected, directing the solution to the centre of the pad or brush.

Filling your tank

You can fill the tank in two ways:

• Fill In Place: Leave the tank attached to the machine and fill it using a hose. If you choose to fill in place and you haven’t already mixed your cleaning chemical. Make sure you put your chemical in the tank after the water, if you do the reverse you’ll find your tank fills with bubbles, reducing the space for your water.

• Detach and Fill: Remove the tank and fill it at a sink. You may find this easier as you are less likely to spill any water onto the floor, and it is easier to mix your cleaning chemical first before putting it into the tank.

Adjusting your tank chain

Different models of Victor machines have varying handlebar lengths. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure the chain controlling the water release is correctly positioned:

• Check the Split Ring: Ensure the split ring on top of the chain fits over the lever section. 

• Adjust if Necessary: If the chain is not in the correct position, adjust the split ring to a different link. 

Final Steps

• Reattach the Tank: Once the chain is correctly positioned, reattach the tank to the brackets.
• Shut Off Valve: Ensure the shut-off valve at the bottom of the tank is in the correct position to prevent accidental water release.
• Connect the Feed Line: Attach the feed line to the centre base of the machine.

Operating the Machine

Now you’re ready to go! When cleaning, lower the handle to the operating position and use the handle lever on the left side to control the water flow.
