SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE
If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged. Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and inspect the
blades. Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.

4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
There are two squeegee tool adjustments possible, angle and height.
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the
fl
oor dry.
1
Park the machine on a
fl
at, even surface and lower the squeegee. Then drive the machine forward enough to have the squeegee blades fold over to
the rear.
2
Adjust the squeegee tilt and height using the Squeegee Tilt Adjust Knob
(24)
and Squeegee Height Wheel
(F)
so that the rear squeegee blade touches
the
fl
oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown in the squeegee cross section.
