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 brushes. “Perform Alert©
brushes have bright yellow tufts located on these tufts
are pre-trimmed 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 brushes should be re-
placed.
There are five different types of brushes available to cov-
er applications from cleaning heavily soiled floors to pol-
ishing. 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/STRIDE II. Please refer to
the following to assist in selecting the proper brush or pad
for the work at hand.
UNCOATED FLOORS
Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with sili-
cone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and removes
surface material
Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit suit-
able for cleaning medium soil conditions. Advantages
are faster ground speed than nylon bristles on light solid
applications.
Nylon is a general purpose scrub brush with stiff bristles.
Polypropylene works well for maintaining concrete,
wood, and tile floors.
FINISHED FLOORS
Nylon Polish is the softest brush. It will gently clean fin-
ished tile or terrazzo floors without removing floor finish
or floor material. Used for washing highly polished or
burnished 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 scrub-
bing, and light stripping. The blue pads remove less fin-
ish 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 re-
move 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 brushes should be checked before each days
work for wire, string, wear, or damage. The scrub brush-
es should be replaced if brush bristles are missing or if
yellow Perform Alert© indicate minimum brush length.
NOTE: For uniform scrubbing, scrub brushes must be re-
placed as a set.
