WRENCH OR
SOCKET
(c) HOLE IN REINFORCING BLADE IS SHOWN
TURNED UPWARD, WHICH IS THE POSITION
WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE MOST DEFLECTION
OF THE MAIN SQUEEGEE BLADE
SQUEEGEE MUST BE ATTACHED

SQUEEGEE INFORMATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
Problem: Squeegee is leaving streaks at the center or the ends.
Cause: Squeegee is not level. If it is not level, it will streak in the center or at the ends.
Solution: Make sure that the tips and the center of main squeegee blade are uniformly deflected and
not leaving streaks. Adjust squeegee tilt as follows:
Step 1: Loosen (a) and (b)
Step 2: Tilt squeegee in direction needed for squeegee to deflect uniformly along entire length.
Step 3: Tighten (a) and (b) enough to hold temporarily.
Step 4: Move scrubber forward to check that deflection is uniform.
Step 5: If correct, tighten (a) and (b) as much as you can; or if not correct, start over at step 1.
Problem: Squeegee is leaving streaks not related to squeegee being level.
Cause: (1) Trash under main squeegee blade.
(2) Blade edge is worn or nicked
Solution: (1) Clear trash.
(2) Turn the blade. All four edges can be used. If all edges have been used, then replace the
main squeegee blade.
Problem: Main squeegee blade is deflecting too much or too little.
Cause: Reinforcing blade is turned wrong for the floor conditions.
Solution: Holes on the reinforcing blade are offset. Blade can be flipped to put longer or shorter side
toward floor. Longer side has a hole (c) at center. Facing the hole down makes the main
blade stiffer and allows it to deflect less. Hole turned upward allows blade to deflect more.
