LEVELING THE REAR SQUEEGEE

Leveling of the squeegee assures even contact

over the length of the squeegee blade with the

surface being scrubbed. Make sure this

adjustment is done on an even, level floor.

1. Lower the squeegee and drive the machine

forward.

2. Shut off the engine and set the machine

parking brake.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or

servicing machine; stop on level

surface, set parking brake, turn off

machine and remove key.

3. Look at the deflection over the full length of

the squeegee blade.

4. If the deflection is not the same over the full

length of the blade, loosen the locking nut on

the two rear squeegee balljoints.

5. Turn the balljoint adjustment nut clockwise,

from the rear of the machine, to increase the

deflection at the ends of the squeegee. Turn

the balljoint adjustment nut

counter-clockwise, from the rear of the

machine, to decrease the deflection at the

ends of the squeegee blade.

6. Tighten the locking nuts.

7. Start the engine and drive the machine

forward again to check the squeegee blade

deflection.

8. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if

necessary.
