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 15. Raise the squeegee off the
oor, then unsnap the Latch (GA) on the
squeegee tool.
2
Remove the Tension Strap (GB).
3
Slip the rear blade off the alignment pins.
4
The squeegee blade has 4 working edges
as shown. 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.

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the
squeegee is not wiping the oor dry.
1
Park the machine on a at, even surface.
2
Lower the squeegee, move the machine ahead slightly.
3
Lift the Squeegee Tilt Adjustment Handle (46) out of its yoke. Rotate the
handle and allow it to drop back down onto the hex. Use the handle to
rotate the hex (raise or lower) so that the rear squeegee blade touches
the oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown
in the squeegee cross section. When the adjustment is complete, return
the handle to its yoke.
