SIDE SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
The side squeegee has one adjustment; height.
To change the height adjustment, disconnect the
squeegee spring from the clevis pin and move the
clevis pin to a different hole location. The factory
setting is in the middle hole location.
SQUEEGEE BLADES
The rear squeegee assembly channels water into
the vacuum fan suction. The front blade channels
the water, and the rear blade wipes the floor.
The side squeegees control water spray and
channel water into the path of the rear squeegee.
Replace any worn or damaged squeegee blades.
REAR SQUEEGEE BLADES
Check the squeegee blades for damage and wear
daily. Rotate or replace either of the squeegee
blades if the leading edge is torn or worn half-way
through the thickness of the blade.
The squeegee has two squeegee blades, the front
and rear. Each blade has four wiping edges. To
use them all, start with one wiping edge. To use
the next wiping edge, rotate the blade
end-for-end. To use the next wiping edge, rotate
the top edges down, bottom edges up. To use the
last edge, rotate the blade end-for-end.
REPLACING OR ROTATING THE REAR
SQUEEGEE BLADES
1. Make sure the squeegee is raised off the
floor.
2. Turn the machine power off and set the
parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or
servicing machine; stop on level
surface, turn off machine.
