SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENTS
Squeegee Adjustment
The squeegee set-up is pre-adjusted at the factory. Adjustments may be required to get optimum
performance for different floors and conditions.
Pitch Control Adjustment
1. Ensure that the scrubber is on a
relatively flat surface. Pull the red
emergency button away from the
dashboard to activate power. Turn on the
main power switch and turn the key
switch clockwise to the on position.
Raise the scrubhead off the floor. Turn
the vacuum switch to the “vacuum only”
position.
2. Turn the speed control knob counter-
clockwise to the low speed position.
Lower the squeegee (item 1) to the floor
and squeeze the forward control handle,
move the machine one or two feet
forward to check the rear squeegee
blade for uniform deflection to the floor.
3. If uneven deflection or lay is evident, minor adjustments may be necessary to avoid streaking and
uneven wear on the blade.
4. To correct this, pitch adjustment is necessary. Loosen the pivot screw (item 2) and the pitch
screw (item 3). Move the machine forward and allow the squeegee to level itself or adjust the
angular position accordingly to achieve a uniform blade deflection. Re-tighten screws.
5. In certain applications where a different blade set-up is required, the reinforcement blade (item
4) may be turned upside down. The notch, which is normally on the bottom will now be located on
the topside. This allows the rear squeegee blade a larger deflection than normal.
