• High-Speed Polishing Mode – The 300 RPM setting adds versatility for polishing and carpet bonnet cleaning.

• Switch-Selectable Speed Control – Changes between low and high speeds with the flip of a switch.

• Multi-Purpose Floor Care – Suitable for scrubbing, stripping, spray buffing, polishing, shampooing, and bonnet cleaning with appropriate accessories.

• Precision-Balanced Construction – Designed for smooth operation and easier maneuverability across the floor.

• Chrome-Plated Steel Skirt – Adds durability around the machine base for repeated commercial use.

• Mechanical Safety Lock-Out – Helps prevent accidental machine starts during setup, handling, and storage.

The NSS Galaxy 17DS 17-Inch Dual-Speed Floor Machine N0302017 provides greater versatility than a traditional single-speed floor machine by allowing the operator to select between 180 RPM and 300 RPM.

The lower speed is designed for more aggressive procedures such as scrubbing and stripping, while the higher setting is useful for polishing and carpet bonnet cleaning.

With a 1.5 HP motor, 17-inch working width, and precision-balanced design, the Galaxy 17DS is a practical choice for facilities that want one machine capable of handling a broad range of floor-care tasks.

Dual-Speed 180/300 RPM Operation

The defining feature of the Galaxy 17DS is its two-speed operation.

The operator can switch between:

• 180 RPM for scrubbing, stripping, and general low-speed floor care

• 300 RPM for polishing and carpet bonnet cleaning

This added flexibility allows one machine to handle tasks that would otherwise require separate low- and higher-speed floor machines.

1.5 HP Commercial Motor

The Galaxy 17DS uses a 1.5 HP / 1110-watt motor.

The heavy-duty motor provides dependable power for repeated commercial applications ranging from aggressive stripping to routine polishing.

17-Inch Working Width

The 17-inch / 43 cm working width provides a useful balance between productivity and maneuverability.

Its compact size allows the Galaxy 17DS to work effectively in:

• Hallways

• Classrooms

• Offices

• Retail areas

• Patient rooms

• Hospitality spaces

• Other commercial environments

Precision-Balanced Design

The Galaxy is precision balanced to provide smooth, predictable handling.

Proper balance helps the operator guide the machine from side to side with less effort during extended floor-maintenance procedures.

Durable Steel Skirt

A chrome-plated steel skirt surrounds the machine base.

This provides added durability in an area commonly exposed to contact with walls, furniture, fixtures, and other obstacles.

Mechanical Safety Lock-Out

A mechanical lock-out switch helps prevent accidental machine startup.

This adds an important measure of safety during setup, handling, transport, and storage.

Quiet Commercial Operation

The Galaxy operates at approximately 58 dB(A).

Its relatively low sound level can be useful in schools, healthcare facilities, offices, and other environments where cleaning may occur during occupied hours.

Professional Applications

The NSS Galaxy 17DS is well suited for:

• Schools and universities

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities

• Office buildings

• Retail stores

• Hospitality environments

• Government facilities

• Commercial cleaning contractors

• Finished hard floors

• Carpet bonnet cleaning

• Carpet shampooing with appropriate accessories
