Switch Between Deep Scrubbing and High-Speed Buffing on the Hawk F04-15-01

The Hawk F04-15-01 15" 2-Speed Extra Heavy Duty Floor Machine combines a 1.5 HP DC rectified motor with a toggle-switch dual-speed system: 165 RPM for stripping and deep scrubbing, 300 RPM for spray buffing and restorative polishing. Triple-planetary 11:1 helical-cut XHD gears handle both speeds reliably. The machine draws 8.1-8.5 amps, weighs 91 lb, and operates between 62 dB (low speed) and 69 dB (high speed), meeting GS42 noise compliance at both settings.

DC Rectified Motor and Dual-Speed Mechanism

  • 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed motor, 66 frame — DC rectification provides smooth torque delivery at both speeds and is more resilient than AC motors under variable load conditions in commercial use
  • 165 RPM low speed for XHD scrubbing and stripping — matched to the extra-heavy-duty gear system for removing multiple coats of floor finish or performing aggressive surface prep
  • 300 RPM high speed for spray buffing and polishing — faster pad rotation brings floor finish to a higher gloss with less chemical and pad wear than a single-speed buffer requires
  • Triple-planetary 11:1 helical-cut XHD gears — the XHD rating means these gears withstand the torque spikes that occur when switching speeds or when the pad encounters edge buildup
  • 15" pad driver with 14" pad size — wider cleaning path than the 13" models covers more area per pass, reducing total machine time on large floors

Facilities That Use 2-Speed Machines

Retail stores, distribution centers, and commercial office buildings use 2-speed machines to replace two single-speed units — one for scrubbing and one for buffing. The toggle switch mounted on the motor housing allows the operator to change tasks without stopping: strip at 165 RPM, then switch to 300 RPM to buff the same area without returning the machine to storage. Healthcare facilities use the GS42-compliant 62 dB low-speed setting for stripping during occupied hours without exceeding noise thresholds. The 15" cleaning path at 91 lb is manageable for solo operators while covering significantly more floor than the 13" models.

Compliance and Included Equipment

The F04-15-01 is UL/CUL listed and GS42 compliant at both speeds (62 dB at 165 RPM, 69 dB at 300 RPM). The machine ships with the chrome steel handle, foam grips, dual triggers, thumb safety switch, non-marking wheels, wraparound bumper, and 50 ft 12-3 SJT power cord with molded plug.

Shipping & Returns

Free shipping on most brands for orders over $300, delivered to the lower 48 states. Any brand-specific freight rate is shown at checkout before you pay.

Processing & delivery: in-stock orders are processed within 1–2 business days and typically deliver in 5–7 business days. Tracking is emailed within 24 hours of shipment. Built-to-order and backordered equipment shows its lead time on this page.

Freight deliveries: inspect your equipment on arrival and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Items damaged in transit or defective on arrival are fully covered at no cost to you.

Cancellations: cancel any time before your order ships. Refunds are issued for the order total minus the non-refundable payment processing fee (2.9% + $0.30), so a cancellation is not always a 100% refund. No fee is deducted if we cancel the order or the item arrives damaged or defective.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the F04-15-05 XHD and the F03-15-03 HD 2-speed models?
The F04-15-05 XHD uses extra-heavy-duty 11:1 helical-cut gears and runs at 165/300 RPM. The F03-15-03 HD uses standard heavy-duty 10:1 gears and runs at 175/320 RPM. The XHD model is better suited for demanding stripping and surface prep at the lower 165 RPM setting. The HD model at 175/320 RPM is better for routine maintenance where maximum torque is less critical.
How does the DC rectified motor benefit the F04-15-05?
DC rectification converts AC power to DC within the motor, providing smoother torque delivery at both speed settings. DC motors also handle variable loads more consistently than standard AC motors, which is important when the pad encounters edge buildup or varied floor conditions. The DC motor runs at consistent RPM even when loaded, whereas AC motors can slow down under heavy load.
Can I use the same pad for both 165 RPM and 300 RPM on the F04-15-05?
Yes, but pad selection depends on the task rather than the speed. For stripping at 165 RPM, use a black pad. After stripping, switch to a red spray buffing pad and engage 300 RPM for the buff pass. The pad driver accepts standard 14" round floor pads at both speeds.
What is the noise level of the F04-15-05 and does it meet GS42?
The F04-15-05 operates at 62 dB at 165 RPM and 69 dB at 300 RPM. Both speeds meet GS42 compliance. At 62 dB (low speed), the machine is quieter than a standard conversation, making it approved for stripping and scrubbing in occupied hospitals, schools, and offices.
How much does the Hawk F04-15-05 weigh and can one person operate it?
The F04-15-05 weighs 91 lb. One person can operate it — the chrome handle, foam grips, and dual-trigger system are designed for single-operator control. Non-marking ball-bearing wheels allow the operator to roll it between job areas. For transport up stairs or into a vehicle, two people are recommended.
What power supply does the F04-15-05 require?
The F04-15-05 runs on 115-230V, 50/60 Hz. The standard configuration ships with a 115V molded plug on a 50 ft 12-3 cord. Facilities with 230V service can use the machine with appropriate wiring modifications. The 8.1-8.5 amp draw at 115V is within the capacity of a standard 15-amp circuit.
Does the F04-15-05 include a solution tank?
The base machine does not include a solution tank. An optional 4-gallon solution tank with splash guard is available as an add-on accessory. Many operators use a pump sprayer alongside the machine rather than the tank attachment, particularly when switching frequently between dry and wet operations.
