SQUEEGEE BLADES
When the blades become worn, simply rotate the
blades end-for-end or top-to-bottom to a new wiping
edge. Replace blades when all edges are worn.
The front blades on the 700mm/800mm squeegee
assemblies have 12/14 slots on one edge and 6 slots
on the opposite edge (Figure 78). If making sharp turns
with the cylindrical brush models use the 12/14 slotted
edge for maximum water pickup.
