SCRUB BRUSHES
NOTE: All original equipment brushes are equipped
with “Perform Alert©”. This feature will tell the
operator when it is time to replace the scrub brush.
“Perform Alert©” brushes have pre-trimmed bright
yellow tufts to indicate the length of a worn out
brush. When the tufts in the scrub brush wear to a
length equal to the yellow tufts, the scrub brush
should be replaced.
There are three different types of brushes available
to cover applications from cleaning heavily soiled
floors to polishing. A pad driver is also available to
take advantage of the many cleaning pads on the
market and further add to the flexibility of the Saber
Compact. Please refer to the following to assist in
selecting the proper brush or pad for the work at
hand.
UNCOATED FLOORS
Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit
suitable for cleaning medium soil conditions.
Advantages are faster ground speed than nylon
bristles on light solid applications.
Polypropylene is a general-purpose scrub brush
with stiff bristles. Polypropylene works well for
maintaining concrete, wood and tile floors.
FINISHED FLOORS
Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications
on coated or uncoated surfaces.
White Pads (Polishing) are used for dry polishing to
achieve a high-gloss appearance, or surface
washing on highly polished or burnished floors.
Red Pads (Buffing) are used for light-duty
scrubbing. When used with a mild detergent they
will provide surface cleaning without removing the
finish.
Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty
scrubbing and light stripping. The blue pads remove
less finish than brown stripping pads, yet will remove
black marks, stains and dirt.
Brown Pads (Stripping) are used for easy and
complete removal of old floor waxes/finishes. They
will quickly remove ground in dirt, black heel marks,
and spills. When used with the proper stripper, this
pad leaves the floor clean and ready for finishing.
The scrub brush should be checked before each
days work for wire, string, wear and damage. The
scrub brush should be replaced if brush bristles are
missing or if yellow Perform Alert © indicates
minimum brush length.
