Machine Overview
1.16 Side Squeegees
The side squeegees (left and right) are attached to the
scrub decks. These items channel the dirty solution to the
rear squeegee, helping contain the water within the ma-
chine’s cleaning path. These squeegees are raised when
the scrub deck is in the raised position.
The side squeegees are pre-adjusted at the factory. Adjust-
ments may be required when replacing worn blades or to
achieve optimum performance for different floors and con-
ditions.
To adjust the side squeegees, simply loosen the mounting
hardware (two wing nuts for Disk Scrub Deck, two black
three-sided knobs for Cylindrical Scrub Deck). Lower the
scrub deck by switching to a scrubbing mode and when the
brushes start up, turn off the key switch. At this point the
side squeegees should be resting vertically (no deflection)
on the floor. Press down on the side squeegee bracket as-
sembly from each end while making sure that the blade is
uniformly deflected in a 45 degree angle along its whole
length. Tighten the wing nuts (item A). Turn the steering
wheel all the way to the left or right and start pushing the
machine to the side to inspect the blade deflection and wip-
ing action. Repeat the steps above until a satisfactory result
is obtained
