TO FACTORY ADJUST REAR SQUEEGEE
NOTE: The solution tank must be full, and the
tires must be correctly inflated to properly adjust
the rear squeegee.
1. LINKAGE PIVOTS
Check the squeegee linkage pivot points
and, if necessary, tighten the locknuts on
each bearing joint in the linkage. Tighten
each locknut until the joint is just short of
locking up. The linkage must be snug, but
still free enough to rotate the linkage by
hand.
2. SQUEEGEE LIFT CYLINDER
The squeegee lift cylinder rod end should be
adjusted so there is 6.00 + 0.12 in
(150 + 3 mm) between the cylinder rod hole
and the rod end hole.

floor. The tip casters should touch the floor
with the squeegee blade perpendicular to
the floor.

The distance between the arm assembly
and the squeegee lift shaft arm should be 1
to 1.25 in (25 to 30 mm) with the squeegee
