SIDE SKIRT MAINTENANCE
The side skirts’ function is to channel the waste water to the squeegee, helping contain the water within the machines cleaning path. During normal use the blades will wear in time. The operator will notice a small amount of water leaking out underneath the side skirts. A height adjustment can easily be made to lower the blades so that all the water can be picked up by the squeegee.

SIDE SKIRT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1The side skirt housing knob retainer screw studs have leveling Adjuster Collars (D), that are to be raised or lowered to compensate for blade wear.
2To adjust, remove the Skirt Assemblies (B) from the Scrub Deck (E) to access the Adjuster Collars (D). Adjustment Tip: The skirts Retainer Knobs (A) can be loosened with skirts left on and the Adjuster Collars (D) rotated by reaching under the skirt housing.
3Turn the Adjuster Collars (D) (Up or Down) to where the blades just fold over enough when scrubbing that all the waste water is contained inside the skirting. Note: Make small adjustments to obtain good blade wiping. Do not lower the blades too much to where they fold over excessively and cause unneeded blade wear.
