6. If the squeegee blade does not deflect evenly
across the full length of the squeegee after properly
adjusting casters, the blade pitch may be out of

NOTE: The blade pitch adjustment is factory set and
should not require further adjustment. However, if
blade tips are higher or lower than center of squeegee,
blade pitch adjustment is required.
