The squeegee on the Quad 500 is responsible for water recovery. Regular cleaning prevents streaks and suction loss, while timely replacement ensures safe and efficient operation.
Cleaning / Replacement Steps
-
On the screen, go to Consumable Management > Scrubbing > Squeegee.
-
Adjust the height of the squeegee as needed.
Do not set it too close to the floor, as clearance is needed to remove the suction pipe.
-
Turn the thumb screws on both sides.
-
Disconnect the suction pipe.
-
Remove the remaining screws securing the squeegee assembly.
-
Flip the squeegee assembly over.
-
Gently shake or tap the rubber part of the squeegee to loosen it.
-
Remove the rubber strips one by one, taking care not to damage them.
-
Once the squeegee is removed, clean it thoroughly with water or replace it if worn or damaged.
Why This Matters
Keeping the squeegee clean prevents water streaks, ensures strong suction and avoids slip hazards. Replacing worn rubber strips ensures the Quad 500 continues to deliver consistent cleaning results.
