6. Tighten the jam nuts.
NOTE: When tightening the turnbuckle jam nuts,
make sure the rod ends are square with the
squeegee frame, not tilted up.
7. Start the engine and drive the machine
forward again to check the squeegee blade
deflection.
8. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if
necessary.
ADJUSTING REAR SQUEEGEE BLADE
DEFLECTION
Deflection is the amount of curl the squeegee
blade has when the machine moves forward with
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. Lower the squeegee and drive the machine
forward.
2. 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.
3. Look at the deflection of the squeegee blade
over the full length of the squeegee blade.
The correct amount of deflection is 7 mm
(0.25 in).
4. To adjust the amount of deflection, loosen
the top knob on the two casters.
5. Turn the bottom knob clockwise to decrease
the blade deflection. Turn the bottom knob
counter-clockwise to increase the blade
deflection. Be sure to turn both knobs the
same number of turns. Tighten the top
knobs on the casters.
6. Start the engine and drive the machine
forward again to check the squeegee blade
deflection. Readjust the squeegee blade
deflection if necessary.
7. Raise the squeegee when finished.
