1" Plastic Riser

1" Plastic Riser (Item #680106)

Key Benefits

The 1" Plastic Riser is a high-quality replacement component designed to provide essential elevation for a variety of cleaning equipment. Made from durable, impact-resistant plastic, this riser ensures stability and reliability during everyday operation. By lifting brushes, wheels, or other equipment components by one inch, it allows for optimal floor clearance, improving the efficiency of floor scrubbers, sweepers, and other maintenance machines. The lightweight yet sturdy construction minimizes wear on the riser itself while supporting the weight of the machine above it.

Why It Matters

Maintaining proper equipment clearance is critical for achieving uniform floor contact and effective cleaning. Without the correct elevation, brushes or wheels may drag unevenly, leaving streaks, missing spots, or causing premature wear to the floor surface and machine components. The 1" Plastic Riser ensures that brushes and wheels are properly aligned, providing even pressure across the cleaning surface and maximizing the efficiency of the machine. It also helps prevent unnecessary strain on the motor and other moving parts, reducing maintenance requirements and extending equipment life.

Installation Tips

Installing the 1" Plastic Riser is quick and straightforward. Begin by powering off the equipment and ensuring the area is safe to work. Position the riser between the base of the machine and the brush or wheel assembly, aligning it according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Secure the riser in place using any provided screws, bolts, or mounting hardware. Double-check that the brush or wheel sits evenly and maintains proper floor contact. Test the machine in a small area to ensure smooth operation and stability before returning it to full use.

Maintenance Best Practices

Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure long-term performance of the 1" Plastic Riser. Periodically check for cracks, deformation, or wear that could compromise stability. Clean the riser to remove dirt, debris, or cleaning solution residue that may accumulate over time. Replace the riser immediately if it shows signs of damage or if stability is reduced. Proper maintenance will ensure consistent cleaning results, extend the lifespan of both the riser and the equipment, and maintain safe and effective operation.
