M 17" Dual Speed Floor Machine — 175/320 RPM, Rolled Steel, 1.5 HP

The Tornado M 17" (model 98476) delivers dual-speed operation at 175 and 320 RPM from a 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motor in a rolled steel base. Same system as the M 20" in a 17-inch path, weighing 100 lbs. Cast aluminum handle, triple planetary gears, 5-inch non-marking wheels. Optional 3-gallon solution tank (F91P).

M 17" Dual Speed and Drive Specs

  • Cleaning path: 17 inches
  • Disc speeds: 175 RPM and 320 RPM
  • Motor: 1.5 HP dual-capacitor
  • Housing: rolled steel base with bumper guards
  • Handle: cast aluminum with cushioned grips
  • Gear system: triple planetary
  • Wheels: 5-inch non-marking self-lubricating
  • Solution tank: 3 gal, optional (F91P)
  • Weight: 100 lbs
  • Dimensions: 23×17×49 in

Smaller Path, Same Dual-Speed Capability

The M 17" provides the same 175/320 RPM dual-speed strip-and-polish capability as the M 20" in a narrower 17-inch path that fits through standard commercial door frames and around restroom fixtures. At 100 lbs versus 105 lbs for the M 20", the weight difference is small — both use rolled steel bases that add meaningful downward pressure for stripping compared to polyethylene alternatives. Operations that clean both large open spaces and connected corridors or restrooms often keep the M 17" for confined areas and a larger machine for open floors, using the same pad stock across both.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the M 17" differ from the M 20"?
The M 17" (98476) has a 17-inch path and weighs 100 lbs; the M 20" (98484) has a 20-inch path and weighs 105 lbs. Both use 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motors with 175/320 RPM dual speed and rolled steel bases. The M 17" suits confined areas; the M 20" covers more area per pass.
What speeds does the M 17" operate at?
The M 17" operates at 175 RPM for stripping, scrubbing, and shampooing, and 320 RPM for polishing and spray buffing — covering both ends of the low-speed floor machine application range.
What motor does the M 17" use?
The M 17" uses a 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motor — the dual-capacitor design provides higher torque and lower amp draw than single-capacitor equivalents, particularly at startup and speed transition.
Does the M 17" include a solution tank?
No. The 3-gallon solution tank (F91P) is optional, ordered separately when wet scrubbing or shampooing capability is needed.
What is the weight of the M 17"?
The M 17" weighs 100 lbs — the rolled steel base adds inherent downward pressure for stripping compared to lighter polyethylene-bodied machines of the same path width.
