Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the replacement blade is crucial for effective cleaning and to prolong the life of the blade. Ensure your ErgoTec Squeegee handle and channel are clean before beginning the installation process.

Installation Steps:

1. Remove the Old Blade: Carefully slide the worn or damaged blade out of the squeegee channel. Some ErgoTec models may have a release mechanism or clips; consult your squeegee's original manual if unsure.
2. Clean the Channel: Wipe down the squeegee channel to remove any dirt, debris, or residue that could interfere with the new blade's fit or performance.
3. Insert the New Blade: Gently slide the new Unger RT920 replacement blade into the squeegee channel. Ensure the blade is centered and fully seated within the channel. The precise sizing of these blades ensures a snug fit.
4. Secure the Blade: If your squeegee channel has clips or a locking mechanism, engage them to secure the new blade firmly in place. The blade should be straight and taut, without any kinks or twists.
5. Test the Blade: Before full use, perform a small test pass on a clean, wet surface to ensure the blade makes even contact and removes water effectively without leaving streaks.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Unger RT920 replacement blade operates as part of your ErgoTec Squeegee system. For optimal cleaning performance, follow these general guidelines:

• Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be cleaned is adequately wet with a suitable cleaning solution.
• Maintain Proper Angle: Hold the squeegee at a consistent angle (typically 10-15 degrees) against the surface.
• Apply Even Pressure: Apply light, even pressure across the entire length of the blade to ensure uniform water removal.
• Overlap Strokes: Overlap each stroke slightly to prevent streaks and ensure complete coverage.
• Clean the Blade: Periodically wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth during use to remove accumulated dirt and maintain streak-free results.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your Unger RT920 replacement blades and ensures consistent cleaning performance.

• Clean After Each Use: Rinse the blade thoroughly with clean water after each cleaning session to remove soap residue and dirt.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect the blade for nicks, tears, or hardening. A damaged blade will leave streaks and should be replaced.
• Store Properly: Store the squeegee with the blade protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing the blade bent or creased, as this can deform the rubber.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the rubber blade, as this can degrade the material.
