LEVELING THE REAR SQUEEGEE
Leveling of the squeegee assures even contact
the length of the squeegee blade with the surface
being scrubbed. Make sure this adjustment is
done on an smooth, level floor.
1. Lower the rear squeegee. Shut off the
engine and set the machine parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or
servicing machine; stop on level
surface, set parking brake, turn off
machine and remove key.
2. Grab the rear squeegee assembly and lift it
until the assembly is resting on the
squeegee blades without any deflection.
3. Loosen the cam locking screws located on
the outside of each upper squeegee linkage
by turning 1/2 to 1 turn. Do NOT overturn as
this may disengage the cam locking tabs.
4. Adjust the squeegee blade until it deflects
more at the center and less at the tips. The
adjustment cams are located on the inside
of the squeegee frame. Turn the adjustment
cams forward to raise the tips of the
squeegee and backward to lower the tips of
the squeegee. The notch on the cam will be
straight up or slightly toward the rear when
adjusted properly. Hold the cam in this
position and tighten the cam locking screws.
5. Start the machine, lower the squeegee and
drive it forward to check the squeegee blade
deflection. The squeegee blade should
deflect more at the center and less at the
tips. See
