SQUEEGEE The squeegee assembly channels water into the vacuum fan suction. The front blade channels the water, and the rear blade wipes the floor. Check the squeegee blades for damage and wear daily. Rotate or replace either of the squeegee blades if the leading edge is torn or worn half-way through the thickness of the blade. The squeegee can be adjusted for leveling and deflection. The deflection and leveling of the squeegee blades should be checked daily, or when scrubbing a different type of floor.

. If the deflection is not the same over the full length of the blade, turn the squeegee leveling knob counter-clockwise to increase the deflection at the ends of the squeegee. Turn the squeegee leveling knob clockwise to decrease the deflection at the ends of the squeegee blade. 6. Drive the machine forward again with the squeegee down to check the squeegee blade deflection. 7. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if necessary.
