Machine Overview
The angle adjustment is the decisive factor
in ensuring that the squeegee blades on the
squeegee lie evenly on the fl oor.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and lower
the squeegee.
2. Loosen the lower wing nut
(B)
on the adjusting
screw
(A)
and adjust the squeegee using the ad-
justing screw so that the ends of the squeegee
blades still have contact with the fl oor. By turning
the adjusting screw
(A)
counterclockwise, the
clearance between squeegee blade and fl oor is
increased
in the center (Fig. 1). When turning
the adjusting screw
(A)
clockwise, the clearance
between squeegee blade and fl oor is
reduced
in the center (Fig. 2).
3. Switch the machine on and check the suction
pattern. When the machine is in operation, the
entire surface of the squeegee blades (center
and outer areas) must be applied as evenly as
possible.
4. Tighten the lower wing nut
(B)
on the adjusting
screw
(A)
against the metal bracket to lock in
the pitch setting.

Height Adjustment
If streaks are present, despite an optimum angle
adjustment, the clearance between the caster
wheels and fl oor must be adjusted by changing the
number of washers underneath the bracket that
holds the wheel. The squeegee height is preset
at the factory to 3mm.
In cases of very smooth floors, e.g. finished
fl oors, PVC, linoleum, etc., see 2mm illustration
for washer confi guration.
In cases of very uneven fl oors, e.g. poorly laid tiles
(water does not run off) ,, confi gure as shown in
4mm illustration.
Keep the extra washers by installing
them above the bracket as shown.
