COMAC Vega 2019 - Choosing and Using Brushes

Adjusting the tilt of the squeegee body:
3. The angle of tilt of the squeegee body is adjusted by rotating the lever (5) located on the squeegee support (Fig.4).
4. To adjust the tilt of the squeegee body, loosen the knob (4) and tighten or loosen the lever (5) (Fig.4), until the squeegee body rubber blades
are bent towards the outside evenly along the entire length by about 30° with respect to the oor.
N.B.: Check for proper adjustment by looking at the instrument (6) positioned on the squeegee body (Fig.3).
N.B.: Moving the lever (5) clockwise will raise the central part of the squeegee body from the oor.
5. Once the adjustment has been completed, tighten the knob (4).
CHOOSING AND USING BRUSHES
POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)
Used on all types of oors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 50°C.). PPL is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains
its characteristics even when working in wet conditions.
ABRASIVE BRUSH
The bristles of this type of brush are charged with highly aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very dirty oors. To avoid oor damage, work
only with the pressure strictly necessary.
BRISTLE THICKNESS
Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth oors or oors with small joints.
On uneven oors or those with deep joints, it is advisable to use softer bristles which can enter the gaps more easily.
Remember that when the bristles are worn and therefore too short, they will become rigid and are no longer able to penetrate and clean deep
down. In this case, like with over-large bristles, the brush tends to jump.
ABRASIVE PAD:
1. RED PAD (for cleaning operations and routine maintenance):
Red pad made from polyester bres, exible for greater adherence to surfaces and for easier washing after use. The special composition of
the brush, which features thin bres, enables marks to be removed whilst polishing surfaces. When used for damp cleaning, the brush can
also remove streaks and black marks. When used dry, it polishes and restores shine to surfaces. Ideal for any type of ooring, even materials
with protective coating.
2. BLACK PAD (for full de-waxing operations):
Black pad with nylon bres containing highly abrasive aluminium oxide particles bonded with synthetic resin. Suitable for the complete removal
of even the toughest wax layers (stripping). It can also be used for deep cleaning operations on hard oors, such as concrete.
3. GREEN PAD (for partial de-waxing operations and deep cleaning on hard surfaces):
Green pad with nylon bres containing silicon carbide particles with medium abrasiveness, bonded with synthetic resin. Flexible disc for
greater adherence to surfaces and for easier washing after use. Ideal for the partial removal of supercial layers of wax and for preparing
oors to be re-waxed (scrubbing). It can also be used for heavy duty cleaning on tough and very dirty surfaces, without a󰀨ecting the shine of
the oor. Ideal for concrete oors, unprotected hard surfaces, vinyl tiles, stone, non-fragile ceramic, linoleum and PVC.
4. WHITE PAD (for polishing operations):
White pad made from polyester bres, exible for greater adherence to surfaces and for easier washing after use. Ideal for mirror polishing
(bu󰀩ng) of oors treated with metallic waxes. The very thin bres increase surface shine without scratching. The white disc must be used dry,
or with a light spray application.
