(see position 4);
Remove the blade locking plate (see position 5);
Remove the blade (see position 6);

Once the squeegee blades are rotated or replaced, lay the squeegee onto a flat surface and check the following:
Make sure the rear blade (see position 2) is fitted correctly and levelled throughout its entire length. If the blade is not
fitted evenly, release the blade locking plate and re-position the blade so that it is levelled correctly against the floor.
Make sure the front blade (see position 1) is fitted evenly and check for any deformations due to tightening the screws
excessively. Also make sure the blade is raised 3 mm above the ground throughout its entire length.
