installing new belt on Cimex

[Shorty]

Ed, I would never put dry pads onto any carpet and start to try cleaning.

You WILL damage the carpet with the abrasions in my opinion.

I always soak the pads in solution, then let them drain prior to putting on the drive board and starting work.

I also start the head rotating whilst holding it off the carpet and slowly lowering it onto the carpet rather than try a direct start on the carpet.

This is only going to create more drag on the machine and possibly cause damage to either the carpet, Cimex or both.

Hope this makes sense.
