TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH
1.Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn “ON” the key switch. Lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60cm.).
2.With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do not allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key.
3.Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of the squeegee blade between each end and the middle. Proper adjustment is obtained when deflection is equal all the way across the squeegee blade. The bubble level should also indicate when the squeegee is adjusted properly. When the air bubble is in the center of the vial, the deflection should be even across the squeegee blade.
4.To decrease the deflection of the squeegee blade at the ends, loosen wing nut and rotate the rod clockwise. To increase the deflection at the ends of the squeegee assembly, rotate the rod counterclockwise knob.
5.Check the deflection of the squeegee blades again. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the deflection is equal across the entire rear squeegee blade. Tighten wing nut.
TO ADJUST AMOUNT OF REAR SQUEEGEE DEFLECTION
SQUEEGEE DEFLECTION
38" (9.5mm)
CORRECT
SIDE VIEW OF SQUEEGEE BLADE
1.Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60cm).
2.With the squeegee down, stop the machine. Do not allow machine to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key.
3.Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It should deflect 3/8 in. (9.5mm) across the entire width of the squeegee.
4.To increase the squeegee deflection, turn the 2 knobs at the squeegee ends
NOTE: The deflection should be consistent along the length of the squeegee. If the deflection varies from end to end the knobs can be adjusted independently to correct the variation.
5.Turn on the key switch. Raise, then lower squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least 2 feet (60cm).
6.Repeat steps 2 through 4 until deflection of 3/8 in. (9.5mm) is reached.
