Squeegee Maintenance; Squeegee Adjustment - Nilfisk SC6500 1100D Instrucciones De Uso

SQUEEGEE MAINTENANCE

If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks or water, the blades may be dirty or damaged. Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and inspect the blades.
Reverse or replace the blades if they are cut, torn, wavy or worn.
To Reverse or Replace the Rear Squeegee Wiping Blade...
1 See Figure 11. Raise the squeegee tool off the oor, then unsnap the Center Latch (AA) on the squeegee tool.
2 Remove the Tension Straps (BB).
3 Slip the rear blade off the alignment pins.
4 The squeegee blade has 4 working edges as shown below. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the front of the machine. Replace the
blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.
To Reverse or Replace the Front Squeegee Blade...
1 Raise the squeegee tool off the oor, then loosen the (2) Thumb Nuts (CC) on top of the squeegee and remove the squeegee tool from the mount.
2 Remove both rear Tension Straps rst.
3 Remove all the wing nuts that hold the front blade in place, then remove tension strap and blade.
4 The squeegee blade has 4 working edges as shown below. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the front of the machine. Replace the
blade if all 4 edges are nicked, torn or worn to a large radius.
5 Install the blade, following the steps in reverse order and adjust the squeegee tilt.

SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT

There are two squeegee tool adjustments possible, angle and height.
Adjusting the Squeegee Angle
Adjust the squeegee angle whenever a blade is reversed or replaced, or if the squeegee is not wiping the oor dry.
1 Park the machine on a at, even surface.
2 Lower the squeegee, move the machine ahead slightly and adjust the squeegee tilt and height using the Squeegee Tilt Adjust Knob (22) and Squeegee
Height Adjust Knobs (28) so that the rear squeegee blade touches the oor evenly across its entire width and is bent over slightly as shown in the squeegee
cross section.
3 Squeegee height is pre-set at the factory but may require periodic adjustment due to caster wear. Proper squeegee height is achieved when the front
squeegee blade is in contact with the oor but not bent over. Use Height Adjust Knobs (28) to ensure blade position is uniform left to right.
4 The Tilt Adjust Knob (22) is used to adjust the tool angle for uniform contact from center to tips of blade.
