Replacing the squeegee blades
The squeegee blades collect the film of water and detergent from the floor and prepare the way for
perfect drying. With time, the constant wiping action causes the edge of the blade in contact with the
floor to become rounded and cracked, with the result that drying is less thorough and the blade must
be replaced. Proceed as follows:
• Remove the dirty water tank and the detergent tank and set them on the floor, referring to
the section "Emptying the water/detergent tank" and "Emptying the dirty water tank".
• Pull the handle up perpendicular to the machine.
• Tilt the machine backwards and rest the handle on the floor.
Front squeegee:
• Detach the suction hose from the squeegee (fig. 39, ref. 1).
• Unscrew the knobs (fig.39, ref. 2).
• Separate the squeegee from the machine (fig. 40, ref. 1).
• Pull out the blade, so as to free the entire assembly (fig. 41).
• Remove the blade.
• Either refit the same blade with the wiping edges reversed, so that it can be used until both
edges are worn out, or replace with a new blade, clipping it to the slots in the body of the
squeegee;
• Refit the squeegee to the machine, following the instructions described previously.
Rear squeegee:
• Lower the squeegee control lever.
• Detach the suction hose from the squeegee (fig. 42, ref. 1).
• Unscrew the knobs (fig.42, ref. 2).
• Pull out the blade, so as to free the entire assembly (fig. 43, ref. 1).
• Remove the blade (fig. 44).
• Either refit the same blade with the wiping edges reversed, so that it can be used until both
edges are worn out, or replace with a new blade, clipping it to the slots in the body of the
squeegee;
• Refit the squeegee to the machine, following the instructions described previously.
