SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE

After each use, clean the squeegee tool and check the blades for damage. If the squeegee leaves water in the middle of its path or at both ends of its path, it probably needs to be adjusted. Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.

To adjust the squeegee:

1Park the machine on a level oor, lower the squeegee and drive forward a short distance.

2 See Figure 6. Loosen the two Squeegee Adjustment Lock Nuts (A).

3 Turn the two Squeegee Adjustment Bolts (B) counter-clockwise for forward tilt or clockwise for backward tilt. Pull forward a short distance after each adjustment to see if the squeegee blades touch the oor evenly across the entire width of the squeegee too l. Then re-tighten the two Nuts (A). NOTE: Hold Bolts (B) with wrench while tightening Lock Nuts (A). If adjusting for more forwards tilt, tightening the Locknuts (A) after loosening the Adjustment Bolts (B) is what will actually tilt the squeegee assembly.

To reverse or replace the rear squeegee blade:

1Unlatch the Rear Squeegee Blade Latch (C) and remove the (2) Wing Nuts (D).

2Remove both Rear Straps (E) and the Rear Squeegee Blade (F) from the machine.

3The 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.

4Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.

To reverse or replace the front squeegee blade:

1 Disconnect the Squeegee Hose from the squeegee tool.

2 Loosen the (2) Squeegee Levers (G) and slide the squeegee assembly off of the squeegee mount.

SERVICE NOTE: Depending on the position of the Squeegee Lever Handle (H), you may not be able to rotate the lever far enough to loosen or tighten depending on which you are trying to do. In this case, simply lift UP on the Handle (H) and rotate the lever in the direction necessary to acquire adequate turning space and then allow the lever to drop back DOWN into place on the hex. You can then either tighten or loosen as needed.

3 Remove all of the Wing Nuts from the front squeegee blade strap.

4Remove the strap and blade from the squeegee assembly.

5The 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.

6Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
