7.9.3 Adjusting the Blades
Angle Adjustment
The angle adjustment is the decisive
factor in ensuring that the squeegee
blades on the squeegee lie evenly on
the floor.
1. Park the machine on a level surface
and lower the squeegee.
2. Loosen the pivot bolts (Fig. 17/1)
and adjust the squeegee using the
adjusting nuts (Fig. 17/2) so that the
ends of the squeegee blades contact
the floor.
Figure A
Turn the adjusting nuts counter-
clockwise: The clearance between
squeegee blade and floor is reduced
in the center.
Figure B
Turn the adjusting nuts clockwise:
The clearance between the squee-
gee blade and floor increases in the
center
3. Switch the machine on and check
the suction pattern. When the ma-
chine is operating, the entire surface
of the squeegee blades (center and
outer areas) must be applied as
evenly as possible.
4. Tighten the pivot bolts.
