SYNOPSIS/PROBLEM:
This kit contains the parts needed to replace the current squeegee assembly with a new
Tight--Aisle style squeegee assembly on the model 5700 scrubber.
Please follow step-by-step instructions.
SPECIAL TOOLS/CONSIDERATIONS:NONE
(Estimated time to complete: 1 hour)
PREPARATION:
(Referto FIG.1)
1. Raise the squeegee.
2. Turn the machine power off and set the parking break if your machine has this option.
FORSAFETY:Beforeleaving orservicing machine,stop on levelsurface and setparking
brake.Thenturn off machine and remove key.
INSTALLATION:
(Referto FIG.1)
1. Remove the squeegee suction hose from the the squeegee.
2. Loosen the two mounting knobs.
3. Pull the squeegee off the machine.
4. Check that the squeegee is still raised, and place the new Tight--Aisle squeegee under the
squeegee pivot.
5. Slide the Tight--Aisle squeegee frame onto the squeegee pivot.
6. Tighten the mounting knobs.
7. Push the squeegee suction hose on the Tight--Aisle squeegee.
8. Start machine and check for proper squeegee blade adjustment and operation.

SQUEEGEE
The squeegee assembly channelswaterintothe vacuum
fan suction.The frontblade channelsthe water,and the
rearblade wipesthe floor.
Check the squeegee bladesfordamage and weardaily.
Rotate or replace eitherof the squeegee bladesif the
leading edge istorn orworn half-waythrough the thickness
of the blade.
The squeegee can be adjusted forleveling and deflection.
The deflection and leveling of the squeegee blades should
becheckeddaily,orwhenscrubbingadifferenttype offloor.
The squeegee assembly can be removed fromthe
squeegee pivot to preventdamage during transportof the
machine.
REMOVINGTHE SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY
1.Raisethe squeegee.
2.Turnthe machine poweroff and set the parking
brakeifyourmachine hasthisoption.
FORSAFETY:Beforeleaving orservicing
machine,stop on levelsurface,and turn off
machine.
3.Removethe squeegee suction hosefromthe
squeegee.

4.Loosen the twomounting knobs.
5.Pull the squeegee off the machine.
INSTALLINGTHE SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY
1.Makesurethe squeegee israised.
2.Placethe squeegee underthe squeegee pivot.
3.Slide the squeegee frame ontothe squeegee pivot.
4.Tighten the mounting knobs.
5.Pushthe squeegee suction hose on
the squeegee.
LEVELINGTHE SQUEEGEE
Leveling of the squeegee assureseven contact the length
of the squeegee blade withthe surface being scrubbed.

1.Turnthe machine poweron.
2.Lowerthe squeegee.
3.Drivethe machine forward, then turnthe machine
poweroff.
4.Lookat the deflection of the squeegee blade,over
the full length of the squeegee blade.

5. If the deflection isnot the same overthe full
length
of the blade, turnthe squeegee leveling knob
counter-clockwisetoincreasethe deflection
at the endsof the squeegee.
Turnthe squeegee leveling knob clockwise
to decreasethe deflection at the endsof the
squeegee blade.
6.Drivethe machine forward againwiththe
squeegee downtocheck the squeegee blade

7.Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if
necessary.

1.Turnthe machine poweron.
2.Lowerthe squeegee.
3.Drivethe machine forward,and lookat the
deflection of the squeegee blade.The correct
amountofdeflection is12 mm
(0.50 in)forscrubbing smoothfloorsand
15 mm (0.62 in)for rough floors.
4.Turnthe machine poweroff.
5.To adjust the amountofdeflection, turnthe
squeegee deflection cams counter-clockwise
to decreasethe blade deflection.
Turnthe squeegee deflection cams clockwise
toincrease blade deflection.
6.Drivethe machine forward againtocheck the
squeegee blade deflection.
7.Readjust the squeegee blade deflection if
necessary.
