ADJUSTING REAR SQUEEGEE BLADE
DEFLECTION
Deflection is the amount of curl the squeegee
blade has when the machine moves forward with
the squeegee lowered to the 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 of the rear squeegee
blade. The correct amount of deflection is 25
to 22 mm (1.00 to 0.88 in) at the center of
the squeegee and about 3 mm (0.12 in) less
deflection at the tips of the squeegee.
4. To adjust the amount of deflection, loosen
the top knob on the two casters.
5. Turn the bottom knob clockwise to decrease
the blade deflection. Turn the bottom knob
counter-clockwise to increase the blade
deflection. Be sure to turn both knobs the
same
number of turns. Tighten the top
knobs on the casters.
6. Start the machine, lower the squeegee and
drive the machine forward again to check
the squeegee blade deflection. Readjust the
squeegee blade deflection if necessary.
7. Raise the squeegee when finished.
