16 Lbs of Pad Pressure at 2000 RPM — What It Achieves
The 98486 produces a wet-look gloss on VCT, vinyl composition tile, and urethane-finished concrete floors that lower-RPM or lower-pressure machines cannot match in a single pass. At 16 lbs of downward pad pressure across a 20-inch pad, the machine maintains contact through floor undulations that cause lighter burnishers to lose consistent contact and produce streaky results. The dust control system captures the fine particulate generated by high-speed pad contact, keeping the area LEED-compliant during operation. The floating metal handle absorbs vibration and provides operator control at speed. Pad retainer F44P and holder 919DP ship standard, ready to accept burnishing pads without additional parts.
