SQUEEGEE SYSTEM

The MiniMAG's squeegee system is designed to work with the recovery system to pick up
water and dirt from the floor using airflow created by the vacuum motor. The front blade of
the squeegee tool is designed with notches that allow the air ,water and dirt to pass through
it while metering the air, increasing its speed through the tool and recovery system.
The optimal performance of a squeegee is very dependent on proper adjustment and main-
tenance. The machines recovery system also must be operating properly for the squeegee
to perform well.
A vacuum gauge is a handy tool for checking recovery system operation. You should be able to
achieve 65" of water lift on most models. Put the vacuum gauge in the end of the squeegee hose
to check. If you have questions on this tool setup call the factory at 800-634-4060.
