SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE

If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged. Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and inspect the blades.
Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.
To Reverse or Replace the Rear Squeegee Wiping Blade...
1 See Figure 8. Raise the squeegee tool off the fl oor, then unsnap the Center Latch (A) on the squeegee tool.
2 Remove the Tension Straps (B).
3 Slip the rear blade off the alignment pins.
4 The squeegee blade has 4 working edges as shown below. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the front of the machine. Replace the
blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...
1 Raise the squeegee tool off the fl oor, then loosen the (2) Squeegee Mount Wrenches (40) on top of the squeegee and remove the Squeegee tool (38) from
the mount.
2 Remove both rear Tension Straps fi rst.
3 Remove all the wing nuts that hold the front blade in place, then remove tension strap and blade.
4 The squeegee blade has 4 working edges as shown below. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the front of the machine. Replace the
blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
SERVICE NOTE: Depending on the position of the Squeegee Mount Wrenches (40), you may not be able to rotate the wrench far enough to loosen or tighten
depending on which you are trying to do. In this case, simply lift UP on the Handle (C) and rotate the wrench in the direction necessary to acquire adequate turning
space and then allow the wrench to drop back DOWN into place on the hex. You can then either tighten or loosen as needed.

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

There are two squeegee tool adjustments possible, angle and height.
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the fl oor dry.
1 Park the machine on a fl at, even surface.
2 Lower the squeegee, move the machine ahead slightly and adjust the squeegee tilt and height using the Squeegee Tilt Adjust Knob (41) and Squeegee
Height Adjust Knobs (39) so that the rear squeegee blade touches the fl oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown in the squeegee
cross section.
