Grip Face Care
Be kind to your grip face
The grip face has a very tough life!
The Industrial Velcro one-piece grip face material on this Square Scrub machine is the very best we have ever tested! With proper
care and attention, it will do a great deal of work for you. Our machine drives a huge amount of energy into the grip face and then
the driver pad and then to the oor: Some pads are more durable and long lasting than others. All of the pads that we may use
will wear out. The driver pads must be checked on a regular basis. The amount time the driver will last varies greatly based on the
task being done. Some pads last longer than others in similar conditions. We encourage you to do some testing on pads to nd
the one that works best for your situation. Check the pad condition very often until you get a feel for about how long it is going to
hold up. Time is the factor in how long a driver pad can last. Square footage is not a good measurement.
Very aggressive wet stripping pads that are being used in wet high alkaline caustic conditions really destroy driver pads quickly!!!!
Some pads will break down in as little as ve minutes. Other pads may last 15 minutes while other might be even better and last
30 minutes. It is dicult to know how long the driver will hold up. There are numerous dierent pads and chemical strippers on
the market.
Diamond grinding with Trizac™ or other types of diamonds uses lots of energy. Diamonds are doing a great deal of work on the
oor surfaces. The result of the grinding is ne particles of the material being polished are contaminating the pad. These gritty
particles get to work quickly breaking down and destroying not only the driver pads but also the grip face itself If you are doing a
diamond grinding project please have some spare grip faces on hand. Even being super cautious and aware, grip faces will still
get destroyed.
Here are links to our website videos showing how to replace the grip face. The rst one shows the best way to do a replacement.
The second one shows a method that will work in the eld if you are in the middle of a project and need to get back to work fast.

Thick white pads work and thick blue also work. Test each pad in your situation with your chemicals and your oors to determine
what is best for you.
Check the driver pad every 15 minutes to start:
After you have ran the machine and the pads you will establish a realistic pad life expectation. You must tilt the machine on its
back to inspect the pad. Many times, the outside edge of the pad will still look new but the underside of the pad where the work is
being done will be destroyed.
Rotate the driver pad and working pad each time you check it:
We see the rear right-hand corner get worn more quickly than the rest of the pad most of the time. Our machine rotates clockwise
which creates more pressure on that side. This is where you will see wear the soonest.
Wet chemical stripping:
Chemical strippers speed up how fast the pads break down. Wet stripping is normally done with very aggressive super abrasive
pads. This type of aggressive pad also works to destroy the driver pads fast. Watch your pads very closely until you get a feel for
how long they wil I last.
