- maker's instructions
Steps
- Record the model on the tool, the full fit wording on the refill package, and the model of the tool in your hand.
- Decide whether the pad is worn or just loaded. Replace if it is torn, shedding, folded, bunched, detached, or uneven after cleanup.
- Move to a dry bench, away from open paint. Clean a loaded pad as the coating maker directs.
- Photograph the head from all sides, the model marks, the package wording, and how the old pad sits.
- Keep the replacement sealed until the identity check is done.
- Look, do not probe. Find the release or retainer the instructions name.
- Follow the maker's instructions to remove the old pad and fit the new one, then test fit.
- If you cannot see how the pad is held, stop and get model-specific guidance.
Tips
- Do not replace on a calendar. No service interval is stated.
- A package that says for 9500 is not enough. Fit wording alone does not prove how the pad installs.
- A cracked, bent or seized head needs service, not a new pad.
- Do not try an unapproved liquid on a pad to see if it recovers.
Watch out
- Do not pry, twist, peel, cut, heat or use solvent to see what gives.
- Do not work with the head on an unstable pole or held in one hand.
- Do not guess the pad's orientation. Check your photo and the instructions.
