SCRUB DECK SKIRT AND SQUEEGEE
The skirts and squeegee should be inspected for wear
and damage. The skirt is self adjusting. Replace skirt
when they become cracked, worn, torn or brittle.
SQUEEGEE BLADES
NOTE: See page 15 of this guide for a complete table on
squeegee options.
The front squeegee blade allows solution to pass through
channels in the blade into the squeegee tool while main-
taining vacuum to provide lift. The front blade has four
wear surfaces and can be rotated for extended life.
There are three different notch patterns and three differ-
ent colors of squeegees for varying floor conditions. The
red squeegee is used for normal, smooth surfaces. The
blue squeegee is used for tiled surfaces. The green
squeegee is used for rough surfaces. The linatex squee-
gees are used for industrial settings. The front blade
should not require regular replacement under normal
use.
The rear blade wipes the floor to a near dry condition. It
is important the rear blade be in good condition to prop-
erly do its job. The rear squeegee blades come in an as-
sembly with three different options. Each squeegee
blade assembly has four wear surfaces for extended ser-
vice.
Check both the front and rear squeegee blades for dam-
age, wear, and adjustment each day in the pre-run check.
Change the front blade if it is torn or has an uneven edge.
Change the rear blade if it is less than 1/2 the original
thickness.
