5. טעסט אָפּעראַציע: After installation, perform a test run with water to verify proper water recovery and blade effectiveness. Make any necessary adjustments.

3. אַפּערייטינג גוידעלינעס

While the squeegee itself is a passive component, its effective operation is dependent on the correct use of the cleaning equipment it is attached to. Ensure the machine is operated at appropriate speeds and with suitable cleaning solutions for the floor type.

• Floor Contact: The squeegee blades must maintain consistent contact with the floor surface across their entire length to ensure complete water removal.
• Machine Speed: Operate the cleaning machine at a speed that allows the squeegee to effectively collect all dispensed water and solution. Excessive speed can lead to streaking or incomplete drying.
• Solution Compatibility: Use cleaning solutions recommended by the manufacturer of your Minuteman cleaning equipment. Incompatible solutions can degrade squeegee blade material over time.
