202Service Manual – SC5000 38 - Squeegee System
Squeegee
The squeegee has a front and rear squeegee
blade, creating a vacuum area in between where
water can be drawn up from the fast moving
airow. The front squeegee blade is intended
to permit wastewater to enter the middle of
the squeegee’s vacuum area, yet still maintain
enough of a seal to not completely lose vacuum.
The rear squeegee blade is intended to create a
tighter seal to the oor, and also act as a wiper
to prevent wastewater from being left behind the
machine.
Maintenance and Adjustment
Squeegee Blade Cleaning and Inspection
Periodically clean and inspect the squeegee assembly and blades (D).
1. Remove the squeegee hose (A) and move it off to
the side.
2. Loosen the two thumb nuts (B) and slide the
squeegee assembly off the lift mechanism.
3. Clean the squeegee blades (C) and suction area
between the blades with soap and water.
4. Inspect the squeegee blades for nicks, tears, and
worn leading edges. If a squeegee blade is worn
or damaged, it may be turned around with a
fresh edge facing down/forward up to four times
before complete blade replacement is required.
