Adjusting Squeegee Blade Deflection - Tennant 5680 Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE
5. If the deflection is not the same over the full
length of the blade, turn the squeegee
leveling bolt counter-clockwise to increase
the deflection at the ends of the squeegee.
Turn the squeegee leveling bolt clockwise to
decrease the deflection at the ends of the
squeegee blade.
6. Drive the machine forward again with the
squeegee down to check the squeegee
blade deflection.
7. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if
necessary.

ADJUSTING SQUEEGEE BLADE DEFLECTION

Deflection is the amount of curl the squeegee
blade has when the machine moves forward with
the squeegee lowered to the floor. The best
deflection is when the squeegee wipes the floor
just dry with a minimum amount of deflection.
1. Turn the machine power on.
2. Lower the squeegee.
3. Drive the machine forward, and look at the
deflection of the squeegee blade. The
correct amount of deflection is 12 mm for
scrubbing smooth floors and 15 mm for
rough floors.
4. Turn the machine power off.
5. To adjust the amount of deflection, turn the
squeegee deflection cams counter-clockwise
to decrease the blade deflection.
Turn the squeegee deflection cams
clockwise to increase blade deflection.
6. Drive the machine forward again to check
the squeegee blade deflection.
7. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if
necessary.
