Service Manual – CA90 32T

Squeegee System

Functional Description

The CLARKE CA90 32T uses a parabolic style squeegee assembly attached to a swiveling squeegee mount

bracket with (2) thumb screws. The squeegee is raised and lowered manually using the squeegee lift lever, and

the squeegee lift cable. Down pressure on the squeegee is obtained by using a spring between the squeegee

mount bracket and the machine chassis.

The squeegee assembly itself does not have any adjustments. The squeegee mounting bracket does have a

thumb screw for adjusting the working angle of the squeegee assembly.
