SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT FOR MACHINES AFTER SN1321039
Before adjusting the squeegee . . .
1
Remove the squeegee tool from the machine and inspect the squeegee blades. If the front edge of the wiping blade is worn to a radius,
nicked or torn, remove it from the squeegee and turn (or flip) it around so that a sharp edge now faces the front of the machine. If all four
edges of the blade are worn or damaged, replace the blade (see Blade Replacement).
2
Check the squeegee casters in front of the squeegee mount. Replace the casters if they are damaged or worn out (Figure 2).
To adjust the squeegee . . .
1
Turn the key switch ON and put the
vacuum/squeegee switch (location dash-
board) in the ON (up) position.
2
See Figure 1. Adjust the (2) Screws (E) to
set the squeegee angle. The entire length
of the wiping blade should be flat against
the floor. If the blade is high in the middle,
turn the screws clockwise. If the blade is
high on the ends, turn the screws counter-
clockwise. Make small adjustments (2
turns or less) at each screw to avoid
bending the squeegee mount.
3
Drive the machine forward to bend over
the squeegee blades into their “operating
position” and look at the squeegee caster
wheels. If they do not touch the floor,
increase the squeegee pressure by loos-
ening the thumb screw in collar (F), pulling
the collar toward the back of the machine
and tightening the thumb screw. Make
equal adjustments on both sides of the
squeegee mount.
4
If the squeegee leaves puddles of water in
low spots on the floor, lower the operating
position of the squeegee by removing the
Washers (G) (See Figure 2). Install the
washers on top of Bracket (H) for future
use.

If the wiping blade bends over too far, remove washers from the top of Bracket (H) and install them between the caster and the bottom
of the bracket.
