Adjusting Rear Squeegee Blade Deflection - Nobles SPEED SCRUB RIDER Operator's Manual

ADJUSTING REAR SQUEEGEE BLADE
DEFLECTION
Deflection is the amount of curl the overall
squeegee blade has when the machine moves
forward. The best deflection is when the
squeegee wipes the floor dry with a minimal
amount of deflection.
1. Lower the squeegee and drive the machine
forward a few meters (feet).
2. Turn off the machine ON/OFF key switch.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine, stop on level surface, and turn off
machine.
3. Look at the amount of deflection or "curl" of
the squeegee blade. The correct amount of
deflection is 12 mm (0.50 in) for scrubbing
smooth floors and 15 mm (0.62 in) for rough
floors.

the squeegee blade deflection after
adjustments are made.
6. Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if
necessary.
