13.8. Wiper drying blade replacement
Two blades are assembled: one on the front and one rear, different form one each other. They are built so
as to avoid installation errors.
The wiper has the purpose of picking up the water from the floor through a vacuum chamber that
generates inside it.
In order to achieve maximum vacuum, plastic material drying blades (various types) are fitted that allow
it to perfectly adhere to the floor with no vacuum losses. Blade replacement is therefore required to
prevent decrease of water extraction properties by the wiper.
To replace the blades:
1. Loosen the two knobs, on the right and left, that lock the wiper and aim it outwards in order to make
access easy.
Remove the wiper and place it on a work bench.
2. Loosen and remove the thumbscrews that fasten the blade.
3. Remove the fastening strap and the blade, then rotate upside down or completely replace the blade.
4. The same blade can be used for 4 times, causing it to work, every time, on a different edge (you should
turn them every 20 working hours as a maximum).
5. Fit the blade and fastening strap on the reference pins, then screw the hand-wheels again.
6. Replace the wiper.
Normally the rear blade has an average service life halved compared to the front one.
It is also possible, if required to pass twice in the cleaning cycle, to manually lift the wiper, and fasten it
with the magnets on the back plate.
In this manner the wiper remains lifted and allows the machine to wash, with the detergent on the floor.
At the second pass, the wiper is lowered manually by detaching it from the magnets, so as to wipe the
water off the floor and dry it
