SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE

If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged.  Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and inspect the 
blades.  Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.

See Figure 3.  Raise the squeegee tool off the 

fl

 oor, then unsnap the Center Latch

on the squeegee tool.

2 

Remove the Tension Straps

.

3 

Slip the rear blade off the alignment pins.

The squeegee blade has 4 working edges.  Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge points toward the front of the machine.  Replace the blade if all 
4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.

Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

There is just one squeegee tool adjustment possible, angle.

Adjusting the Squeegee Angle

Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the 

fl

 oor dry.

Park the machine on a 

fl

 at, even surface and lower the squeegee.  Then drive the machine forward enough to have the squeegee blades fold over to 

the rear.

Turn the Adjustment Knob

 to tilt the tool forward or backwards, until the rear squeegee wiping blade touches the 

fl

 oor evenly across its entire width.
