SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE
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 4. Raise the squeegee tool off the floor, then unsnap the Center Latch (A) on the squeegee tool.
2Remove the Tension Straps (B).
3Slip the rear blade off the alignment pins.
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, then loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts (C) on top of the squeegee and remove the squeegee tool from the mount.
2Remove both rear Tension Straps first.
3Remove all the wing nuts that hold the front blade in place, then remove tension strap and blade.
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.
SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
There is just one squeegee tool adjustment possible, angle.
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry.
1Park the machine on a flat, even surface and lower the squeegee. Then drive the machine forward enough to have the squeegee blades fold over to the rear.
2Loosen the Lock Wing Nut (D) (hand tightened). This secures the squeegee mount angle from easily vibrating out of adjustment.
3Turn the Adjustment Knob (E) to tilt the tool forward or backwards, until the rear squeegee wiping blade touches the floor evenly across its entire width.
