How To Adjust The Squeegee

The following adjustments are set at the factory, however they may require slight adjustment.

Adjusting Squeegee Tilt:

The tilt of the squeegee causes the rear blade to raise up in the center or on the ends, depending on which direction the tilt is changed. For tilt adjustment, refer to figure 35. Loosen left and right screw "X". In order to bring the blades down in the center, tip "Y" down. To bring both ends down, tip "Y" up. Make very small adjustments and try it until a uniform flare is achieved.

Adjusting Squeegee Blades:

When properly installed the front blade should be ap- proximately 0.06" (1.5mm) above the rear blade. See figure 36.

WARNING: Maintenance and repairs must be done by authorized personnel only.

WARNING: Electrical repairs must be done by authorized personnel only.

Consult your Clarke Technology Authorized Service Person to do the service procedures.
