Squeegee System
Functional Description
The squeegee tool collects wastewater
from the oor for the recovery system
to lift the water into the recovery
tank. The oor squeegee is wider
than the swath of the scrub deck to
ensure collection of all wastewater
from the perimeter of the scrubbing
area. The squeegee also pivots to the
side to permit operation near walls
and to keep the squeegee within the
scrubbing path while turning the
machine.
Squeegee Lift Actuator
The squeegee lift actuator operates on a cable that raises the squeegee assembly. When the actuator is not
pulling on the cable, the down-force springs press the squeegee to the oor. The upper and lower positions of
the squeegee are determined by internal limit switches in the actuator.
Squeegee
The squeegee tool has a front and rear squeegee blade, creating a vacuum area in between where water can
be drawn up from the fast moving airow. The squeegee tool attaches to the lift/pivot assembly with two
knobs.
