12. Pull the levered cam lever up to tighten the
rear squeegee in place.
NOTE: The cam lever should be above the
horizontal axis to keep from possibly scratching
the floor. If the levered cam is too loose to clamp
the squeegee blade, rotate the stationary cam to
the next flat edge and retighten the levered cam.
Overtightening the levered cam may damage the
squeegee frame and retention band.
TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE
1. Start the engine.
2. Place the squeegee lever in the down
position.
3. Operate the machine in a forward direction
to deflect the squeegee blade.
4. Observe the squeegee blade deflection. The
squeegee blade should be evenly deflected
from one end to the other. If the squeegee
tips are deflecting less than the middle of the
squeegee, turn the squeegee tips adjusting
knob to the right. If the squeegee tips are
deflecting more than the middle of the
squeegee, turn the squeegee tips adjusting
knob to the left. Raise and lower the
squeegee, operate the machine, and
recheck the squeegee tips deflection if an
adjustment was made.
