8. ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE HEIGHT
The height from the floor to the squeegee should be adjusted based on the blade’s
wear. Rotate the knob (2) counter-clockwise to lift the squeegee and clockwise to
lower it.
Note: Adjust the right and left knobs the same amount; the squeegee should be
positioned parallel to the floor.
9. ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE INCLINATION
During operation, the rear squeegee blade is most efficient when tilted back about
3/16 inch (5mm) along its whole length. To increase the blade bending in the central
part, tilt the squeegee body backward by turning the adjuster (1) counter-clockwise.
Subsequently, turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the bending at the sides of the
squeegee blade.
10. HANDLE BAR HEIGHT
The handle bar is adjustable in three different positions:
1. Release the lever.
2. Put the handle bar at the desired height.
3. Release the lever and the handle bar will lock in place.
