Your Clarke CA60 20B or 24B scrubber and your Clarke FM40 orbital floor machine don't spin a round pad. Their decks move a rectangular pad in tight orbits, so they need rectangular pads cut to the deck: 14 x 20 inches for the CA60 20B and the FM40 (ST and LX), and 14 x 24 inches for the CA60 24B. Round pads won't fit. These are Clarke's own BOOST pads, sold in cases of 5.
Fitting one takes seconds. On the CA60, raise the deck, press the pad onto the gripper face of the BOOST pad driver, line it up with the edges of the deck and lower it again. On the FM40, lock the handle upright, tilt the machine back onto the handle, center the pad over the grip face and press until the hooks set. No center lock, no tools.
| Pad |
Job |
| Red, routine scrub |
Nightly scrubbing of finished floors. It's the pad Clarke lists in the CA60 and FM40 parts manuals, and the one to keep on the machine for everyday work. |
| Blue, heavy scrub |
Deeper scrubbing of heavily soiled floors, and scrubbing before a recoat. |
| Black, stripping |
Removing floor finish. Nilfisk says the BOOST models and the FM40 can remove finish with plain water. |
| White, polishing |
Light cleaning and polishing of soft finishes, where you want the gentlest touch. |
Need more than the four everyday colors? The same 14 x 20 size also comes as a maroon surface prep pad for deep scrubbing before a recoat and chemical-free stripping, and a green grout pad for tile with recessed grout lines. Both fit the CA60 20B and the FM40.
Not sure which color fits your floor and finish? Tell us the floor type and what you're trying to do, and we'll point you to the right pad before stripping day.
Cut for the orbital deck. Full coverage from edge to edge, so the orbital action reaches your corners and baseboards.
Four jobs, one machine. Scrub, deep scrub, strip or polish just by changing the pad.
Press-on fitting. The pad grips the driver face, so changes take seconds.
Case of 5. Five pads per case, so there's always a clean one ready for the next shift.
Rinse the pad after each shift, or flip it to use the other side when the first side loads up with dirt. A pad that's glazed or worn thin scrubs unevenly and should be replaced. Pads are wear items and aren't covered by Nilfisk's machine warranty except for manufacturing defects.
