3. SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the squeegee is a two-part process. First,
the squeegee tool must have correct pitch in order
for the squeegee blade to have the same deflection
at each tip as well as the center. The pitch
adjustment is facilitated by the use of a spirit level
mounted on the squeegee tool. The second
adjustment is the amount of deflection or down
pressure on the squeegee.
TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE PITCH
1.
Choose a smooth, level surface. Turn on the key
switch, release the machine parking brake,
lower the squeegee and drive forward at least 2
feet (60 cm).
2.
With the squeegee down, stop the machine and
set the parking brake. Do not allow the machine
to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3.
Determine the differences, if any, in deflection of
the squeegee blade between each end and the
middle. Proper adjustment is obtained when
deflection is equal all the way across tool. This
should correspond to the bubble being in the
middle position of the spirit level.
4.
To decrease the deflection of the squeegee
blade at the ends, turn knob on squeegee
trailing arm clockwise. To increase the deflection
at the ends of the squeegee assembly, turn
knob counter clockwise.
5.
Again check the deflection of the squeegee
blades. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the
deflection is equal across the entire rear
squeegee blade.
TO ADJUST SQUEEGEE DEFLECTION
1.
Choose a smooth, level surface. Lower the
squeegee and drive forward at least 2 feet.
2.
With the squeegee down, stop the machine and
set the parking brake. Do not allow the machine
to roll back.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine
and remove key.
3.
Observe the amount of squeegee deflection. It
should deflect 3/8in (9.5 mm) across the entire
width of the squeegee.
4.
To increase the squeegee defection, turn the
knobs over the squeegee floor wheels
counterclockwise. To decrease the squeegee
defection turn the knob over the squeegee floor
wheels clockwise. Each knob can be adjusted
separately to insure that the blade curls evenly
from end to end.
5.
Turn on the key switch, release the parking
brake. Raise, then lower squeegee assembly.
Drive forward at least 2 feet.
6.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 until deflection of 3/8
in (9.5 mm) is reached.
