Squeegee Cleaning

Warning!  It is advisable to wear protective gloves when cleaning the squeegee because there 

may be sharp debris.

1  

Drive the machine on a level floor. Make sure that the machine cannot move independently.

2   Check that the control panel switches are turned to “0”  

3   Lower the squeegee with the lever 

4   Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) from the squeegee (B) 

5   Loosen the handwheels (C) and remove the squeegee (B) 

6  

Wash and clean the squeegee (B). In particular, clean the compartments (D) and the vacuum hole (E) 

from dirt and debris 

7  

Check the front blade (F) and the rear blade (G) for integrity, cuts and tears; if necessary replace them 

(see the procedure in the following paragraph) 

8  

Assemble the components in the reverse order of disassembly, and note the following:

9  

If necessary, use the handwheel (H) to adjust the squeegee balance.
