+1 (978) 295-7538Two-Speed VCT Maintenance With the Hawk 17" 2-Speed HD
The Hawk F03-17-01 17" 2-Speed Heavy Duty Professional Floor Machine provides scrubbing power at 175 RPM and high-speed buffing at 320 RPM in a single 94 lb machine. The 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed motor and triple-planetary 10:1 helical-cut commercial gears deliver consistent output at both settings, while the all-steel welded frame and wraparound bumper protect floors and baseboards during extended maintenance runs. GS42-compliant noise ratings of 62 dB at low speed and 69 dB at high speed support daytime cleaning in government buildings, schools, and hospitals.
F03-17-01 Drive System and Speed Controls
- 1.5 HP DC rectified 2-speed motor — 66-frame with dual capacitors; speed toggle mounted on motor housing allows immediate mode changes without powering off
- Triple-planetary 10:1 helical-cut commercial gears — smooth gear mesh at both 175 RPM and 320 RPM without audible gear chatter under load
- 17" pad driver, 16" pad — 17" cleaning path covers corridors and classroom floors faster than 13" or 15" machines
- Dual steel triggers with thumb safety switch — negative-pressure deadman control requires deliberate grip to run, reducing runaway incidents
- 50 ft 12-3 SJT power cord — industrial-gauge cord provides safe reach for large floor areas
175 RPM vs. 320 RPM — Choosing the Right Speed Setting
Use 175 RPM with black stripping pads to remove floor finish, with green scrubbing pads for interim maintenance, or with a scrubbing brush for aggressive soil removal. Switch to 320 RPM with a tan or white polishing pad for spray buffing restored floors back to a high-gloss finish without a separate burnisher. The F03-17-01 suits facilities with scheduled strip-and-recoat programs where both speeds are needed on a weekly or monthly rotation.
