MAINTENANCE GUIDES
When Should Floor Scrubber Squeegee Blades Be Replaced?
Squeegee blade condition and adjustment affect water recovery. A wet trail can also indicate debris, hose, filter, seal or recovery-system issues, so follow the supplied troubleshooting guidance.
Signs a blade needs attention
- Streaks or water trails left behind the machine
- Poor pickup on turns or at one end of the squeegee
- A visible rounded, glazed or flattened wiping edge
- Nicks or tears from debris on the floor
Rotate before you replace
Where the blade and manufacturer instructions permit, an approved blade may have another usable edge. Isolate the machine and follow the supplied procedure before rotation or replacement.
Protect the blades you have
Sweep or pre-clean floors with sharp debris, lift the squeegee when reversing over obstructions, and rinse blades at the end of every shift.
