MAINTENANCE

3. SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

Adjusting the squeegee is a two-part process. First, the squeegee tool must have correct pitch in order for the squeegee blade to have the same deflection at each tip as well as the center. The pitch adjustment is facilitated by the use of a spirit level mounted on the squeegee tool. The second adjustment is the amount of deflection or down pressure on the squeegee.

TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH

1.Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn on the key switch, release the machine parking brake, lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet (60 cm).

2.With the squeegee down, stop the machine and set the parking brake. Do not allow the machine to roll back.

FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing 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 tool. This should correspond to the bubble being in the middle position of the spirit level.

4.To decrease the deflection of the squeegee blade at the ends, turn knob on squeegee trailing arm clockwise. To increase the deflection at the ends of the squeegee assembly, turn knob counter clockwise.

5.Again check the deflection of the squeegee blades. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the deflection is equal across the entire rear squeegee blade.

PROPER DEFLECTION OF SQUEEGEE BLADE

1.Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet.

2.With the squeegee down, stop the machine and set the parking brake. Do not allow the 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 3/8in (9.5 mm) across the entire width of the squeegee.

4.To increase the squeegee defection, turn the knobs over the squeegee floor wheels counterclockwise. To decrease the squeegee defection turn the knob over the squeegee floor wheels clockwise. Each knob can be adjusted separately to insure that the blade curls evenly from end to end.

5.Turn on the key switch, release the parking brake. Raise, then lower squeegee assembly. Drive forward at least 2 feet.

6.Repeat steps 2 through 5 until deflection of 3/8 in (9.5 mm) is reached.
