Servicing the Squeegee
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.

1. See Figure 2.
Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, and then unsnap the Center Latch

on the squeegee
tool.
2. Remove the Tension Straps
(22)
.
3. Slip the rear blade off the Alignment Pins
(24)
.
4. The squeegee blade has four working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front
of the machine. Replace the blade if all four edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5. Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
