Your TM4's 15-inch path does most of the work on a typical route: offices, classrooms, hotel rooms, homes. It's only as good as the two brushes under it. Once the bristles wear short, they stop reaching into the pile, and the machine pushes soil around instead of throwing it into the renovator trays.
These are the original Austrian TM4 brushes Carpet Cleaner America fits to new machines, sold as a pair because the TM4 runs two. They fit the TM4 only; the TM3 and TM5 take different lengths.
Which TM4 Brush Do You Need?
| Bristle |
Part number |
Best for |
| Blue, standard |
B 752 |
The everyday brush. Cut-loop carpet, plus level loop, cut pile and needle felt |
| White, soft |
B 751 |
Wool berber and saxony, where a stiffer bristle can fuzz the yarn |
| Brown, stiff |
B 750 |
Heavily soiled level loop, cut pile and needle felt in commercial buildings. Commercial use only |
Not sure where to start? Blue is the set the TM4 ships with and the one most routes run every night. Add a brown set if you clean busy commercial traffic lanes, and a white set if your accounts include wool or saxony. The TM4 is the widest TM that takes a soft white brush.
The original Austrian brushes, the same ones CCA fits to new TM4 machines, so the length and bristle height match what your machine was built for.
Sold as a pair, one for each counter-rotating axle, so both sides of your TM4 wear evenly.
3 bristle grades let you match the brush to the carpet instead of running one compromise set everywhere.
Color coded, so your crew can see which set is on the machine before the first pass.
How to Change and Break In Your TM4 Brushes
Unplug the machine and lay it on its side. Push the brush axle in from one end and pull it out from the other, slide the old brush off, then fit the new one and feed the axle back in from the top. If it resists, turn the brush and axle gently while you push. Never force it.
Brown brushes need a break-in before their first job. Fit them and run the machine for 3 minutes on wet concrete. Skip it and the stiff new bristles can trip the breaker or stall the machine on start-up.
The grey and black brushes in the photo belong to CCA's PRO machines. Black is an extra stiff hard floor brush and will damage carpet, so it is not sold for the TM series. Brushes are wear parts, which CCA's machine warranty doesn't cover, so keep a spare set on the truck for the night yours wear out.
Your TM4 also takes the SPX onboard sprayer, and it brushes in dry carpet cleaning compound and encapsulating prespray. Running more than one machine? Here are the TM3 brushes and the TM5 brushes.
