Maintenance and Adjustment
Adjusting the Squeegee down pressure
•
The squeegee down pressure can be adjusted so that there is a gentle deflection across the entire blade while
traveling in the forward direction. This deflection places the edge of the squeegee blade in the proper position
for “wiping” the floor nearly dry. Proper deflection is between 1/8 and 1/4 inch.
1. Lower the squeegee lift cable (using the squeegee lift handle)
2.
Tip the machine back
3.
Remove the Brush/pad driver
4.
Remove the squeegee assembly
5. Adjust the pressure adjust nut that the is against the pressure adjust plate
–
Adjust the nut away from the screw head for more pressure, toward the screw head for less pressure
