Squeegee Lift Actuator Reverse Function
The squeegee actuator operates in the automatic mode when scrubbing and will automatically lower to
its normal operating position when the scrub system is enabled. To prevent squeegee blade damage and
excessive wear, the
Squeegee Actuator M3
will lift the squeegee tool from the floor when the machine is
operated in reverse.
To get the squeegee tool to lift in reverse, the drive pedal must be moved off its neutral or forward position,
which triggers the needed reverse direction output from the
A1 Speed Controller
to the
A2 Control Board
Assembly.
The
A2 Control Board Assembly
sends voltage to the
Squeegee Actuator M3
at the appropriate
polarity, and for a specified time, to lift the squeegee to a position that is half the upward distance that the
squeegee moves when the scrub system is switched off.
Moving the drive pedal back to the neutral/forward switches off the reverse direction output from the
A1
Speed Controller
to the
A2 Control Board Assembly
. The
A2 Control Board Assembly
then sends voltage to the
Squeegee Actuator M3
at the appropriate polarity to lower the squeegee tool back onto the floor.
Component Locations
The
Squeegee Assembly
is
attached to the
Squeegee Mount
Weldment
, which is attached to the
Squeegee Lift Arm Weldment
. The
Squeegee Assembly
is fastened to
the
Squeegee Mount Weldment
with
two
Thumb Nuts
.
The
Squeegee Lift Actuator
raises
and lowers the
Squeegee Assembly
,
and is mounted horizontally in the
left rear of the chassis underneath
the recovery tank. The
Squeegee
Lift Actuator
is attached to the
machine frame and to the
Squeegee Lift Arm Weldment
.
The
Ball Joint
attaches the
Squeegee Lift Arm Weldment
to the
frame and allows the
Squeegee
Assembly
to move as necessary.
