Press the SQUEEGEE LIFT TEST BUTTON once. The squeegee motor will activate and rotate
180°, this will lower the squeegee. If the squeegee does not stop in the down position, check
the condition of the Squeegee Down Switch.
With the squeegee down, take a straight edge and rest it on the squeegee blade across the
main drive wheels to the rear drive wheels. The gap between the straight edge and the drive
wheels should be about 3/16" to 1/4" (3.18 mm to 4.76 mm) on each side.
If the distance is more or less, loosen the bolts (two on
each side) that hold the squeegee pivot in place. Move
the pivot mount until the squeegee height is correct. This
should be done for both the left and the right side.
Tighten the bolts after the adjustment
is acceptable.
The tilt or pitch of the squeegee may
also need adjustment to ensure that
both blades are contacting the lane squarely. If a pitch
adjustment is necessary, follow the steps below to make
the adjustment. Make sure the squeegee motor does not bind up when making an
adjustment. If the link is too short the motor cannot rotate 360
.
1.
Locate the squeegee motor on the right side plate of
the machine. Mounted to the motor shaft (inside the
machine) is a cam. Mounted to the cam is a rod end
and rod. This rod lifts and lowers the squeegee (see
diagram on the following page).
2.
Loosen the jam nut between the rod end and the
rod.
3.
Remove the bolt that connects the rod end to the
cam.
4.
Rotate the rod end as needed to increase or
decrease the pitch. DO NOT; make the linkage too
short.
5.
Re-install and tighten the bolt to connect the rod
end to the cam.
6.
Re-check the gap between the straight edge and the drive wheels.
7.
Tighten the rod end to the rod with the jam nut.
8.
Check cleaning to ensure adjustment is adequate.
Pitch Adjustment
Excessive crush on the squeegee will not allow the machine to clean properly and will
cause stress on the assembly.
TECHNICAL NOTE
Gap should be
3/16” to 1/4”
