Squeegee Trim Adjustment
The squeegee trim adjustment ensures that the squeegee frame is level with the floor when the squeegee is
in the lowered, operating position. If the trim is
out of adjustment, the squeegee can leave streaks
of water at either the center or the edges of the
squeegee.
1. If this procedure is not being performed as a
follow-up to replacing the squeegee blade(s),
then make the blade examinations described
on
page 57
beginning with
step 16
.
2. With the machine parked on a level surface,
lower the squeegee to the floor.
3. Examine the contact area between the
squeegee blades and the floor. The squeegee
blades should be in even contact with the
floor.
•
A small bubble level
(B)
may be used to set
the frame of the squeegee to be level with
the floor.
4. If the squeegee is tilted up, there will be a gap at
the center, and the level’s bubble will be toward
the rear of the machine.
•
Turn the adjustment knob
(A)
counterclockwise.
5. If the squeegee is tilted down, there will be a gap
at the outsides of the squeegee, and the level’s
bubble will be toward the front of the machine.
•
Turn the adjustment knob
