SQUEEGEE BLADE REPLACEMENT
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine,
stop on level surface, turn off machine, remove key
and set parking brake if equipped.
Each squeegee blade has four wiping edges. When the
blades become worn, simply rotate the blades
end-for-end or top-to-bottom for a new wiping edge.
Replace blade if all four edges are worn.
1. Remove the squeegee assembly from the
machine.
2. Fully loosen the two outside knobs on squeegee
assembly. This will separate the spring loaded
blade retainer from squeegee frame (Figure 133).
To loosen the knobs quickly, squeeze the blade
retainer and squeegee frame together.
