ADJUSTING REAR SQUEEGEE BLADE
DEFLECTION
Deflection is the amount of curl the squeegee
blade has when the machine moves forward while
the squeegee lowered to the floor. The best
deflection is when the squeegee wipes the floor
just dry with a minimum amount of deflection.
1. Turn the machine power on.
2. Lower the squeegee.
3. Drive the machine forward, and look at the
deflection of the squeegee blade. The
correct amount of deflection is 12 mm
(0.50 in) for scrubbing smooth floors and
15 mm (0.62 in) for rough floors.
4. Turn the machine power off.
5. To adjust the amount of deflection, turn the
squeegee deflection cams clockwise to
decrease the blade deflection.
Turn the squeegee deflection cams
counter--clockwise to increase blade
deflection.
6. Drive the machine forward again to check
the squeegee blade deflection.
7. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if
necessary.
