Warehouse Floor Scrubber Pre-Shift Inspection

Pre-shift inspection for warehouse floor scrubbers covering battery, brushes, squeegee, solution, and water levels before use.

General Condition and Safety

• Equipment is clean, intact, and free of visible damage
  Inspect the scrubber body, housing, wheels, and handles for cracks, missing parts, loose components, or other visible deficiencies.
• No fluid leaks present under or around the machine
  Check for leaks from the solution tank, recovery tank, hoses, fittings, or battery area before startup.
• Safety labels, warnings, and operating controls are legible and unobstructed
  Verify that required labels and control markings can be read and are not damaged, missing, or covered.
• Area around the machine is clear for safe startup
  Confirm the scrubber is positioned in a safe area with no obstructions, trip hazards, or unauthorized personnel nearby.

Battery and Power

• Battery charge level is sufficient for the planned shift
  Verify the battery is adequately charged for the expected runtime before the scrubber is put into service.
• Battery terminals and cables are secure and free of corrosion
  Inspect terminals, connectors, and cables for looseness, fraying, corrosion, or heat damage.
• Battery compartment is closed and properly secured
  Confirm the battery compartment cover or access panel is latched and will not interfere with operation.

Brushes and Squeegee

• Brushes or pads are installed correctly and show no excessive wear
  Inspect brushes or pads for wear, missing segments, damage, or improper installation.
• Squeegee blade is intact, aligned, and free of tears or nicks
  Check the squeegee blade for wear, cuts, curling, or misalignment that could reduce water pickup.
• Brush deck and squeegee assembly move freely without binding
  Verify the brush deck and squeegee assembly raise, lower, and pivot as intended without unusual resistance.

Solution and Water Levels

• Solution tank is filled to the required operating level
  Confirm the cleaning solution tank contains the correct amount of solution for the planned task and is not overfilled.
• Recovery tank / waste water tank is empty or within allowable operating limit
  Verify the recovery tank is not overfilled and is ready for safe operation.
• Cleaning solution is the correct type and concentration per SOP
  Confirm the solution being used matches the site procedure and manufacturer guidance for the floor scrubber.

Operational Readiness

• Power switch, controls, and indicators function normally
  Perform a brief functional check of startup controls, indicator lights, and basic operating functions before use.
• Emergency stop or shutoff function is accessible and operational
  Verify the emergency stop or equivalent shutoff control is easy to reach and appears functional.
