SQUEEGEE SUSPENSION BREAKDOWN
A. SQUEEGEE SWING PLATE – The swing plate is vulnerable to bending if the machine is driven
over a curb or large bump. Always check this for straightness. If it is bent at all it must be re-
placed. Make sure the plate moves up and down easily at it’s pivot points.
B. PIVOT BOLTS - These are the bolts that the squeegee pivots on. If they are too tight it will bind.
C. SQUEEGEE TRAIL ARM – This arm is made of ½” plate steel but is still possible to bend. If it is
bent at all it must be replaced.
D. GROMMETS –These grommets maintain the proper spacing between the triangle plate and the
Trail Arm.
E. SQUEEGEE TRIANGLE PLATE – The squeegee is mounted to the triangle plate and ties it to the
trail arm.
F. SPRING – Supplies pressure between the triangle plate and the trail arm. Helps hold the adjust-
ment. The squeegee will not operate without this spring.
G. PITCH ADJUSTMENT KNOB – The knob used to pitch the squeegee frontward or backwards.
The squeegee should be adjusted to be flat to the floor.
H. SQUEEGEE HOLD DOWN KNOB – These knobs anchor the squeegee to the triangle plate. DO
NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
I. SQUEEGEE BODY (SHOWN HERE WITHOUT BLADES) – The squeegee body is laser cut from
½” steel and must be perfectly straight and flat.
J. SQUEEGEE WHEEL MOUNT – The squeegee wheel mounts attach the wheels to the squeegee
suspension. They can be adjusted by adjusting the bolt that controls their height.
K. SQUEEGEE WHEELS – The squeegee wheels should both touch the floor during operation and
roll freely. They should both be adjusted to the same height. These wheels are wear items and
should be replaced when squeegee blades are replaced.
L. SQUEEGEE WHEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SCREW. - This bolt controls the height of the squee-
gee wheels.
