TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH
1.
Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn “ON” the
key switch. Lower the squeegee and drive
forward at least 2 feet (60cm.).
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do
not allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3.
Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of
the squeegee blade between each end and the
middle. Proper adjustment is obtained when
deflection is equal all the way across the
squeegee blade. The bubble level should also
indicate when the squeegee is adjusted
properly. When the air bubble is in the center of
the vial, the deflection should be even across
the squeegee blade.
4. To decrease the deflection of the squeegee
blade at the ends, loosen wing nut and rotate
the rod clockwise. To increase the deflection at
the ends of the squeegee assembly, rotate the
rod counterclockwise knob.
5. Check the deflection of the squeegee blades
again. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the
deflection is equal across the entire rear
squeegee blade. Tighten wing nut.
TO ADJUST AMOUNT OF REAR SQUEEGEE
DEFLECTION
1.
Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the
squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet
(60cm).
2. With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do
not allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3. Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It
should deflect 3/8 in. (9.5mm) across the entire
width of the squeegee.
4. To increase the squeegee deflection, turn the 2
knobs at the squeegee ends counter-clockwise.
To decrease the deflection, turn the knobs
clockwise.
NOTE: The deflection should be consistent along
the length of the squeegee. If the deflection varies
from end to end the knobs can be adjusted
independently to correct the variation.
5.
Turn on the key switch. Raise, then lower
squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least
2 feet (60cm).
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until deflection of
3/8 in. (9.5mm) is reached.
