SQUEEGEE BLADE ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment of the squeegee blades are factory set
and require no further adjustment. Squeegee
adjustment is only necessary if it comes out of
adjustment.
For optimum squeegee blade performance, the
squeegee assembly casters must be adjusted to a
specified height as described below.
1. To check the squeegee assembly for proper
adjustment, remove the squeegee assembly from
the machine and place it on a level surface.
Measure the distance between the caster and the
surface. It should measure approximately 1.58
mm (1/16”) (Figure 69).
2. To adjust the caster height, loosen the top nut and
remove the plastic bearing cover to access the
adjustment nut. Turn the adjustment nut until
properly adjusted (Figure 69). After adjusting,
tighten the top nut and replace the plastic bearing
cover. Repeat step for the other caster.

properly adjusted, the squeegee blades should
