GENERAL MACHINE MAINTENANCE (Cont.)

RECYCLING PUMP ESP SYSTEM

The recycling pump is located under the seat. The pump is electric and except for daily cleaning of the pump intake screens, it requires no regular maintenance.

RECYCLING PUMP STORAGE

Always drain pump for extended storage, especially when freezing temperatures may be encountered.

REAR SQUEEGEE

The squeegee will require service when the inner edges of the blades become round with wear, impairing the wiping action or water pickup. To service the rear squeegee use the following steps:

1.Loosen the four aluminum knobs

2.Remove the squeegee tool and turn upside down to service the blades or caster wheels. The squeegee blades are designed to flip over and use another unworn edge.

 

ADJUSTING THE REAR SQUEEGEE LIFT

 

1. Loosen nut (2-00-00641).

 

2.

Turn screw (2-00-00087) either counterclockwise (to raise)

 

 

or clockwise (to lower) to adjust the position of the

 

 

squeegee lift. (The gap between the frame and the

 

 

squeegee lift should be .75”).

 

 

NOTE

 

Raising squeegee lift too far will cause the squeegee lift to hit the

REF SCREW

 

frame and may cause damage.

To service the blades

1.Loosen the clamp bolts which clamp items 8 & 9 together.

2.Loosen far enough to slip the end clamp brackets off the squeegee tool. This will allow flipping the blades or installing new blades.

3.Install blades so that the outer blade is 3/16” longer than the inner blades. This is achieved by assembling the top edge of the blade against the squeegee tool weldment.

4.Reinstall the squeegee clamp band and tighten the clamp bolt.

SQUEEGEE CASTER WHEELS

There are 2 grease fittings on each caster wheel. The casters should be greased each time the blades are serviced.

ADJUSTING CASTERS

Lower the squeegee on a flat surface, making sure the rear squeegee blade is perpendicular to the surface. Adjust the caster 3/16” above the flat surface. Lock the jam nuts.
