RECYCLING PUMP ESP SYSTEM
The recycling pump is located under the seat. The pump is electric and except for daily cleaning of the pump
intake screens, it requires no regular maintenance.
RECYCLING PUMP STORAGE
Always drain pump for extended storage, especially when freezing temperatures may be encountered.
REAR SQUEEGEE
The squeegee will require service when the inner edges of the blades become round with wear, impairing the
wiping action or water pickup. To service the rear squeegee use the following steps:
1.
Loosen the four aluminum knobs (item 10, these hold the squeegee tool to the squeegee support).
2. Remove the squeegee tool and turn upside down to service the blades or caster wheels. The squeegee
blades are designed to flip over and use another unworn edge (items 5 & 6).
To service the blades
1.
Loosen the clamp bolts which clamp items 8 & 9 together.
2. Loosen far enough to slip the end clamp brackets off the squeegee tool. This will allow flipping the blades
or installing new blades.
3. Install blades so that the outer blade is 3/16” longer than the inner blades. This is achieved by assembling
the top edge of the blade against the squeegee tool weldment.
4. Re-install the squeegee clamp band and tighten the clamp bolt.
SQUEEGEE CASTER WHEELS
There are 2 grease fittings on each caster wheel. The casters should be greased each time the blades are
serviced.
ADJUSTING CASTERS
Lower the squeegee on a flat surface, making sure the rear squeegee blade is perpendicular to the surface.
Adjust the caster 3/16” above the flat surface. Lock the jam nuts.
