Operation
5.1.3 Squeegee
The rear squeegee system (Fig. 13/3)
consists of squeegee blades, vacuum
motor, and suction hose. The soiled wa-
ter is wiped from the floor by means of
squeegee blades. Squeegee lowers au-
tomatically when corresponding clean-
ing mode is selected. Simultaneously,
the vacuum motor switches on. The
vacuum motor works independent of di-
rection of travel and even if the machine
stops. Changing direction to reverse,
changing mode to transport or double
scrub will automatically lift the squee-
gee and vacuum is automatically
switched off with a delay of 15 seconds.

gee to the recovery tank (Fig. 13/4) by
