Once it was the actual levelness of the floor. another thing I noticed is keeping an eye on pressure of the head.....With the spring arm set up,depending how you "handle' the unit-lifting up on or pushing down on the handle too much either way changes the balance/pressure on the head which in turn can allow for the bunching as well.How wet is ideal? I've been dumping them in a bucket and then wringing them out basically just enough to keep them from dripping.
It happened yesterday on just a regular cut pile over pad residential carpet but it also happened on a glue down restaurant carpet last week.
I'm starting to think I should have just gone with a new rotary instead of OP but hopefully it's just a learning curve that I'll get over.

The bristle driver is great for the FiberPlus pads and some thin bonnet/pads like the SuperZorbs, whereas the velcro driver is good for a wide variety of pads and bonnets. The only drawback to the velcro driver is that it can sometimes tear at the bonnet's fabric a little bit when you're pulling off the bonnet. Give us a call if you're interested in ordering a velcro style driver.How much is the velcro driver?
I was really not planning to use it with fiber pads too much, I've got the Cimex for that. My thoughts were that I would be using mostly microfiber but maybe I'll be using mostly superzorbs instead?
