The squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine.
Replace the blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5
Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...
1
Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, then loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts
(H)
on top of the squeegee and remove the squeegee tool
from the mount.
2
Remove all the wing nuts that hold the front blade in place, then remove tension strap and blade.
3
The squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine.
Replace the blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
4
Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee.
SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
There are two major squeegee tool adjustments, height and angle. The recommended adjustment steps are to set the tool angle first,
then adjust the blade height.
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry.
1
Park the machine on a flat, even surface and lower the squeegee. Then drive the machine forward enough to have the squeegee
blades fold over to the rear.
2
See Figure 2. Loosen the Lock Wing Nut
(K)
(hand tightened). This secures the squeegee mount angle from easily vibrating out
of adjustment.
3
Turn the Adjustment Knob
(L)
to tilt the tool forward or backwards, until the rear squeegee wiping blade touches the floor evenly
across its entire width.
4
Re-tighten by hand the Lock Wing Nut
(K)
.
FIGURE 2
Adjusting the Squeegee Blade Height
Adjust the squeegee height whenever a
blade is reversed or replaced, or if the
squeegee is not wiping the floor dry. The
squeegee blade height is easily adjustable
at the caster wheels. To adjust...
1
Park the machine on a flat even sur-
face and lower the squeegee. Then
drive the machine forward enough to
have the squeegee blades fold over to
the rear.
2
Loosen both the lock adjustment Wing
Nuts
(I)
(need to be hand tightened
only) located on the top of the caster
mount bracket.
3
Rotate the Adjustment Knobs
(J)
CW
(clockwise) to lift the squeegee and
CCW (counter clockwise) to lower it. A
starting point when replacing the
blades is to adjust the caster mounting
bracket so it is level (parallel) to the top
of the squeegee tool. Note: The Right
and Left caster wheels must be ad-
justed equally to maintain level and
even blade pressure.
4
Re-tighten the lock adjustment Wing
Nuts
(I)
and test for proper squeegee
pick-up.
