When choosing different pads and brushes for the Orbiter, there
is no exact science to which pad or brush is most suitable on a
particular floor. Pads are good for scrubbing and polishing flat
surfaces. Brushes work well for getting into recesses in non-flat
surfaces, like tile, where the bristles can get into grout lines.
When you choose an accessory, remember - you want one
aggressive enough to do the job but gentle enough not to
damage the floor. Use common sense. For example, do not use a
black pad (aggressive) on a wood floor (soft floor). Start with
what is safe and move to more aggressive, if needed.
The pads are color coded depending on how aggressive they are
(except for the beige marble pad): White is the softest, followed
by red, green, brown and black being the most aggressive. Pads
are designed to be porous and open-weave (except the beige
pad) so that when it loosens dirt it can pick it up. The dirt goes
inside the pad (i.e. off the floor). All pads can be turned over and
the other side used before cleaning and disposing. Pads may be
hosed off in some instances and re-used.
Brushes are also coded with black being the softest followed by
the union mix (tan) brush, the orange scrub brush, with the brown
grit brush being the most aggressive.
Note: Never store the Orbiter with a pad or brush mounted on it
because they can become deformed especially the brushes.

and eliminate wax buildup.

This brush is used to clean ceramic and concrete and many tough
stains.

All the floor brushes snap directly onto the Orbiter with no drive

damage them.
OTHER ACCESSORIES
LAMBS WOOL BONNET
437054
This bonnet is designed to provide the best possible shine on
wood, tile and vinyl floors. To install bonnet, place over the DRIVE
PAD HOLDER. Pull the drawstrings tight to prevent slipping. Tie a
bow and tuck the excess string inside the bonnet. Use the bonnet
for everyday buffing to remove scuff marks. When the bonnet
becomes dirty, wash with soap and water, wring it out and place
it back on the DRIVE PAD HOLDER to dry to its original shape.
WHITE TERRYCLOTH BONNET
437053
This bonnet cleans the traffic lane and spots in the carpet without
wetting the entire carpet. When one side of bonnet is dirty, flip it
over and use the other side. When bonnet is completely soiled,
hose off and air dry.
SAND SCREENS
The very best in floor sanding. For all sand screens, place either
DRIVE PAD HOLDER or DRIVE PAD BRUSH on Orbiter. Then place
the sand screen under any floor pad on floor and center Orbiter
onto the pad. The SAND SCREEN comes in 60 grit (SS12060),
80 grit (SS12080) and 100 grit (SS12100).
