7.1 Replacing the squeegee rubber blades
(Fig 22).
When it becomes clear that drying the floor is difficult
or traces of water remain on the floor, it is necessary to
check the wear on the squeegee rubber blades (3):
• Remove the squeegee unit (1) as indicated in the
“Cleaning the squeegee” section 5.4.
• Loosen the finned nuts (2) and remove the rubber
blades (3).
NOTE:
When the rubber blades (3) are worn on one
side, they may be turned over one time.
• Replace or turn over the rubber blades (3) without
inverting them.
• Replace all the components in reverse order.
Fig 22
NOTE:
It is possible to have two types of rubber blades. Para
rubber blades for all types of floors and polyurethane
rubber blades for mechanical workshop floors which are
dirty with oil.
7.2 Squeegee set up (correct position)
(Fig. 23)
• Lower the squeegee using the squeegee lever.
• Start the vacuum and move forward several feet
before stopping the suction unit and the machine.
• Check the angle of the rubber blades (1) on the floor.
Fig. A = too low
Fig. B = too high
Fig. C = correct position
• Remove the squeegee unit from the machine
• To reposition the blade, loosen the screw (2) of the
wheel (3) and move the wheel vertically in the slot
lifting or lowering the wheel, to achieve the correct
position (C).
