Mercury A-171-1: 19" Apron with Bumper for BOSS Floor Machines

The A-171-1 is a 19" replacement apron with integrated bumper for Mercury BOSS-1 and BOSS-2 floor machines. It weighs 6 lbs and installs with three thumb screws — the same tool-free mounting system as the 13", 15", 17", and 21" apron sizes. At 19", the A-171-1 fits through standard 36" commercial doorways while covering more floor per pass than the 13", 15", or 17" aprons.

A-171-1 Specifications and Compatibility

  • Model: A-171-1
  • Apron size: 19 inches — fits through standard 36" commercial doorways with clearance on each side
  • Weight: 6 lbs — one pound under the 21" apron (A-172-1), which is 7 lbs
  • Bumper: Non-marking perimeter bumper — absorbs wall contact without marking surfaces
  • Installation: Three thumb screws — interchangeable with all other BOSS apron sizes
  • Compatible machines: Mercury BOSS-1 and BOSS-2 Heavy-Duty Floor Machines

Where the 19" Apron Fits in Multi-Zone BOSS Machine Operations

The 19" apron is the middle size in the BOSS apron lineup for facilities with mixed-width floor zones. It fits through standard commercial doorways, passes between fixed equipment with standard 24" aisle width on each side, and covers nearly as much floor per pass as the 21" apron in open areas. Facilities that run a 21" apron in large rooms and need to continue cleaning through doorways into connecting hallways or restroom entries use the 19" apron to maintain machine efficiency without switching to a narrower tool. The 19" apron also suits hotel guest corridors, school hallways, and medical office hallways where the 21" apron may be one inch too wide for the corridor width or existing furniture arrangement. For zones narrower than 19" plus side clearance, the 17", 15", or 13" aprons handle the access.

Non-Marking Bumper and BOSS Machine Apron Swap Mechanism

The A-171-1's perimeter bumper contacts walls before the apron body does, and its non-marking material prevents color transfer or surface damage on painted walls, varnished baseboards, and tile wainscoting. The bumper is part of the apron assembly — it replaces with the apron rather than wearing separately, eliminating the need to inspect bumper condition as a separate maintenance item. The three-thumb-screw installation means the apron change takes place without tools: loosen three thumb screws, remove the current apron, place the 19" apron, tighten. The BOSS machine body does not need to be moved or turned off between apron swaps, and the pad driver from the previous apron may or may not transfer depending on size — verify compatibility with the 19" apron's pad driver requirement before swapping mid-task.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the A-171-1 (19") and A-172-1 (21") aprons?
The A-171-1 is 19" wide; the A-172-1 is 21" wide. Both weigh 6 lbs and use the same three-thumb-screw installation on BOSS-1 and BOSS-2 machines. The 19" apron fits through standard 36" doorways with clearance on each side. The 21" apron covers 2" more floor per pass in open areas where width is not a constraint.
Which BOSS machines is the A-171-1 compatible with?
The A-171-1 is designed for Mercury BOSS-1 and BOSS-2 Heavy-Duty Floor Machines. It is not compatible with Hercules, Lo-Boy, or other Mercury machine series.
Does the 19" apron fit through standard commercial doorways?
Yes. A standard commercial doorway is 36" wide. A 19" apron leaves approximately 8.5" of clearance on each side — sufficient to pass through without tilting the machine or removing door hardware. The 21" apron (A-172-1) requires narrower clearance and may not fit through some doorways without repositioning.
Can the A-171-1 apron be used with the Unicorn Weight Kit?
Yes. The Unicorn Weight Kit (UWK) is compatible with BOSS machines. Adding the UWK weights to the BOSS machine with the 19" apron installed increases pad pressure by up to 50 lbs — relevant for stripping and heavy scrubbing tasks where additional downward force improves single-pass effectiveness.
Is a pad driver included with the A-171-1 apron?
No. The A-171-1 is the apron assembly only. Pad drivers are purchased separately. Confirm the correct pad driver size for the 19" apron from Mercury's BOSS machine parts list before ordering accessories.
