SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE
If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged. Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and inspect the blades.

SERVICE NOTE:
Depending on the position of the Squeegee Mount Wrenches
(40)
, you may not be able to rotate the wrench far enough to loosen or tighten
depending on which you are trying to do. In this case, simply lift UP on the Handle
(C)
and rotate the wrench in the direction necessary to acquire adequate turning
space and then allow the wrench to drop back DOWN into place on the hex. You can then either tighten or loosen as needed.
SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
There are two squeegee tool adjustments possible, angle and height.
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the
fl
oor dry.
1
Park the machine on a
fl
at, even surface.
2
Lower the squeegee, move the machine ahead slightly and adjust the squeegee tilt and height using the Squeegee Tilt Adjust Knob
(41)
and Squeegee
Height Adjust Knobs
(39)
so that the rear squeegee blade touches the
fl
oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown in the squeegee
cross section.
