tank. The floor squeegee is wider
than the swath of the scrub deck to
ensure collection of all wastewater
from the perimeter of the scrubbing
area. The squeegee also pivots to the
side to permit operation near walls
and to keep the squeegee within the
scrubbing path while turning the

Squeegee Lift Actuator

The squeegee lift actuator operates on a cable that raises the squeegee assembly. When the actuator is not
pulling on the cable, the down-force springs press the squeegee to the floor. The upper and lower positions of
the squeegee are determined by internal limit switches in the actuator.

Squeegee

The squeegee tool has a front and rear squeegee blade, creating a vacuum area in between where water can
be drawn up from the fast moving airflow. The squeegee tool attaches to the lift/pivot assembly with two
knobs.
