Squeegee Maintenance; Squeegee Adjustment - Nilfisk-Advance Hydro-Retriever 2052 Instrucciones De Uso

SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE (BEFORE SN 1312263)
After each use, clean the squeegee tool and check the blades for damage. Reverse or replace the blades if they are nicked, torn or worn to a radius.
To Reverse or Replace the Rear Squeegee Wiping Blade...
1 Put the squeegee in the raised position, then unsnap the Center Latch (A) on the squeegee tool.
2 Remove the Wing Nut (B) from each end of the squeegee.
3 Remove the Tension Straps (C) and slip the rear blade off the tool.
4 The rear squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine and against the floor.
Replace the blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a radius.
5 Install the blade, following steps 1-3 in reverse order.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...
1 Put the squeegee in the raised position, then remove the two Nuts (D) from the Squeegee Adapter (E) and remove the adapter from the squeegee.
2 Loosen the two "T" Bolts (F) and slide the squeegee tool off the mounts.
3 Remove the hex nuts that hold the front blade in place and remove the blade.
4 The front squeegee blade has 4 working edges. Turn the blade so a clean sharp 90 degree, edge points toward the front of the machine and against the
floor. Replace the blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a radius.
5 Install the blade, following steps 1-3 in reverse order.
SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT (BEFORE SN 1312263)
Adjust the squeegee if it leaves water in the middle or at both sides of its path.
There are two major squeegee tool adjustments, height and angle. The recommended adjustment steps are to set the tool angle first, then adjust the blade height.
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle...
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry.
1 Park the machine on a level floor and lower the squeegee.
2 Loosen the (horizontal) squeegee Mount Lock Bolt (G).
3 Loosen the Locking Nut (H) on the (vertical) tilt Adjustment Bolt (I) on the Squeegee Tongue (J).
4 Turn the Adjustment Bolt (I) with a wrench to tilt the tool forward or backwards until the rear squeegee wiping blade touches the floor evenly across its entire
width.
5 Re-tighten both the Locking Nut (H) and Mount Lock Bolt (G).
Adjusting the Squeegee Blade Height
Adjust the squeegee height whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the floor dry. The squeegee blade height is easily adjustable
at the caster wheels. To adjust...
1 Park the machine on a flat even surface and lower the squeegee. Then drive the machine forward enough to have the squeegee blades fold over to the
rear.
2 Loosen both the lock adjustment Wing Nuts (K) (need to be hand tightened only) located on the top of the caster mount bracket.
3 Rotate the Adjustment Knobs (L) CW (clockwise) to lift the squeegee and CCW (counter clockwise) to lower it. The casters should be adjusted to allow the
front squeegee blade to just touch the floor or be slightly bent backward. The slots in the front blade (M) must allow the solution to easily pass into the interior
of the squeegee (while moving forward) where it can be vacuumed up. The rear squeegee blade (N) should be folded backward a sufficient amount to provide
a good seal against the floor. Note: The Right and Left caster wheels must be adjusted equally to maintain level and even blade pressure.
4 Re-tighten the lock adjustment Wing Nuts (K) and test for proper squeegee pick-up.
