MACHINE PREPARATION
CONNECTING THE SQUEEGEE AND ADJUSTING WHEEL HEIGHT
Prior to shipping from the factory, the squeegee assembly is removed from the unit. To connect your
squeegee assembly to the machine:
1. Align the squeegee assembly retention slots with the easy-grip knobs then tighten until secure.
2. Attach the recovery hose to the squeegee assembly neck. Make sure to route the loop hose trap between
the squeegee assembly neck and left easy-grip knob.
1. The squeegee blade assembly height is factory set at the optimum water recovery position with the
squeegee wheels being approximately 1/32 inch (1 mm) off the ground allowing the recovery blade to
deflect as shown below.
2. If for some reason your squeegee blade height must be adjusted, it is done so by turning the left thumb
screw located on the squeegee frame assembly clockwise to raise the left squeegee wheel and counter-
clockwise to lower the wheel. The same is true for the right thumb screw/squeegee wheel.
