                               POWER OF ATTORNEY
     I,  Jeffrey  L.  Cotter,  hereby authorize and designate each of Kristin A.
Stokes, Amy M. Jensen, Amy C. Seidel, Nicole Kroetsch and Julie Regnier, signing
singly, as my true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

     (1)  execute  for  and  on  my  behalf, in my capacity as an officer and/or
director of Tennant Company (the "Company"), the Form ID and Forms 3, 4 and 5 in
accordance  with  Section  16(a)  of  the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

     (2)  do  and  perform  any  and  all acts for and on my behalf which may be
necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form ID and Form 3, 4 or
5 and timely file such form with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any



stock  exchange or similar authority, and the National Association of Securities
Dealers; and


     (3)  take  any  other  action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing  which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be to my benefit,
in  my  best  interest,  or legally required of me, it being understood that the
statements executed by such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this Power
of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as
such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

     I  hereby  further  grant  to  each  such  attorney-in-fact  full power and
authority  to  do  and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary,  or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein  granted,  as fully to all intents and purposes as I might or could do if
personally  present,  with  full  power  of  substitutes  or  revocation, hereby
ratifying   and   confirming   all   that   such   attorney-in-fact,   or   such
attorney-in-fact's  substitute  or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done  by  virtue  of  this  Power  of  Attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted.  I  hereby acknowledge that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving
in  such  capacity at my request, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming,
any of my responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

     This  Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I am no
longer  required  to  file  Forms  3, 4 and 5 with respect to my holdings of and
transactions  in  securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by me
in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

     IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  I  have  caused  this  Power  of Attorney to be duly
executed as of this 25th day of September, 2017.

                                                           /s/ Jeffrey L. Cotter
                                                      --------------------------
                                                               Jeffrey L. Cotter
