Squeegee; Squeegee Blades; Remove Squeegee Tool - Windsor QK32 Operating Instructions Manual

SQUEEGEE BLADES

There are four sets of squeegee blades available for
the QUICK©. Sets include front, rear and scrub deck
side squeegee blades. There are three different
notch patterns and three different colors for varying
floor conditions. Linatex squeegees are for industrial
settings. See squeegee parts list for part numbers.
The front squeegee blade allows solution to pass
through channels in the blade into the squeegee tool
while maintaining vacuum to provide lift. The front
blade has four wear surfaces and can be rotated for
extended life. The red blade has less notches and is
for rougher or tiled surfaces. The green blade has no
notches and is for very rough floors such as knobby
tile or uneven tile. The front blade should not require
regular replacement under normal use.
The rear blade wipes the floor to a near dry condition.
It is important the rear blade be in good condition to
properly do its job. Each squeegee blade has four
wear surfaces for extended service.
Check both the front and rear squeegee blades for
damage, wear, and adjustment each day in the pre-
run check. Change the front blade if it is torn or has
an uneven edge. Change the rear blade if it is less
than 1/2 the original thickness.
NOTE: An optional rear urethane blade is
available for industrial settings that have oil or
chemical based products.
