Maintenance For The Squeegee

To remove the squeegee, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the squeegee assembly by loosening the two
knobs that attach the squeegee to the machine. Pull
the squeegee assembly off. See figure 31.
2. Inspect the squeegee blade.
3. If the blade is worn, turn the blade so that a new edge
is in the wiping position.
4. Reinstall squeegee assembly on the machine.

How To Adjust The Squeegee

The following adjustments are set at the factory, however
they may require slight adjustment.
Adjusting Squeegee Tilt:
The tilt of the squeegee causes the rear blade to raise up
in the center or on the ends, depending on which
direction the tilt is changed. For tilt adjustment, refer to
figure 32. Loosen left and right screw "X". In order to
bring the blades down in the center, tip "Y" down. To
bring both ends down, tip "Y" up. Make very small
adjustments and try it until a uniform flare is achieved.
Adjusting Squeegee Blades:
When properly installed the front blade should be ap-
proximately 0.06" (1.5mm) above the rear blade. See
figure 33.
