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 20. Raise the squeegee off
the fl 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.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade:
1.
See Figure 20. Raise the squeegee off the fl oor. Disconnect the
vacuum Hose (GC) from the squeegee tool.
2.
Loosen the (2) Squeegee Removal Knobs (44) on the squeegee clips
and remove the Squeegee Assembly (45) from the mount.
3.
Release the Push/Pull Clamp (GD) and remove the Weldment Strap
(GE) and the front squeegee blade (GF).
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
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the
squeegee is not wiping the fl oor dry.
To Adjust the Squeegee Angle:
1.
Park the machine on a fl 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
fl oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown in the
squeegee cross section. When the adjustment is completed, return the handle
to its yoke.
