Brute kicked my butt a few day ago

[alazo1]

20" brute. Gladiators on very short nap commercial nylon. The damn pads kept buckling under the machine and when they finally hung on it was a very rough ride. Finished the job with a 15" conqueror.

Anyone experienced this?

PS: I think I have to take Yoga or something. I thought getting older makes you more humble....what's up with that !!

Use a glider.

 

[Scott Rogers]

Hows your velcro look? Any loose edges and or is it loaded with fiber?

 

[Jeremy]

Make sure you are getting enough/even flow through your jets & use a glider disc. Are your towels already wet when you start? Was the floor uneven? Cleaned out your Velcro lately?

What Scott said.

Dammit!

Albert, don't you have a Cimex?

 

[Clark]

That machine should be smooth. Call me and we will figure it out.

 

[Fon Johnson]

Man, ya don't have all of these problems with rotaries!

 

[alazo1]

Thanks for the replies.

I did use a glider to no avail but as far as the velcro, it's loose on some edges and I've never cleaned it. I'll give it a shot after that and thanks Clark, I'll call you soon.

I have been having the same problem with the easy glider. The pad buckles under the machine. I put in new bearings, new pad, glider, etc. but still gives me problems. Can't figure it out. We run the machine 4 or 5 hours per day. Most days it works great, but every other day or so it is a problem to run.

Uneven floor?

 

[alazo1]

Uneven floor?

I don't think so. The conqueror ran fine without resistance. It did happen some time ago on a similar low nap pile. I don't use it much.

Didn't you refer to the OPe manual?
