SIDE SQUEEGEES
The side squeegees control scrub brush water
spray. They consist of a squeegee blade, backup
strip, band, and clamp. Check the side squeegee
blades for damage or wear daily. Replace
squeegee blade by opening the quick-release
latch and removing the band. Remove the
bracket, old blade, and backup strip. Replace the
squeegee blade and backup strip, if it is worn.
Adjust the squeegee clamp so that there is
adequate pressure to hold the squeegee blade in
place. The squeegee blade should be held so that
it cannot be pulled from between the locating pins.
