SERVICING THE SQUEEGEE
If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged. Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and inspect the blades. Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.
To Reverse or Replace the Rear Squeegee Wiping Blade...
1See Figure 5. Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, and then unsnap the Center Latch (23) on the squeegee tool.
2Remove the Tension Straps (22).
3Slip the rear blade off the Alignment Pins (24).
4The squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine. Replace the blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...
1Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts (25), disconnect the Recovery Hose (19) and remove the Squeegee Assembly (13) from the mount.

ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry.
To Adjust the Squeegee Angle...
1Park the machine on a flat, even surface and lower the squeegee.
2While moving the machine forward slowly, turn the Squeegee Adjustment Knob (26) until the rear squeegee blade folds over evenly across the entire width of the squeegee as shown below.
