Title: Sportsman is dropping squeegees like they are hot
Post by: Doug S on June 29, 2021, 11:30:43 AM

I've got this happening on 2 heads and randomly.  I don't hear any air leaks.  Anyone else ever had this problem?  If so, what did you discover was causing this?

I assume the squeegee is walking and when it gets to the notch is falls out. Had it happen before. Maybe the squeegee wasn’t centered properly and close to the notch. Possible the air clamps are worn as well. I would try isolating the problem squeegee (s). Or install the squeegee in the opposite direction and see if the squeegee still walks in the same direction.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've got to get it narrowed down.  The mess it creates can be pretty nasty.

I’ve seen that happen just like Lizard described.
