SIDE SKIRT MAINTENANCE

The side skirt’s function is to channel the waste water to the squeegee, helping contain the water within the machines cleaning path.  During normal use the blades 
will wear in time.  The operator will notice a small amount of water leaking out underneath the side skirts.  A height adjustment can easily be made to lower the 
blades so that all the water can be pick-up by the squeegee.

blade wear.
