The NSS Thoroughbred 17-Inch Floor Machine 5001706 is built for demanding professional floor care where durability, power, and additional floor pressure are important.

This configuration combines the Thoroughbred’s corrosion-resistant polished aluminum base with a 1.5 HP motor and added weight setup, making it especially well suited for heavier-duty polishing applications.

Added Weight Configuration

A major advantage of this Thoroughbred 17 configuration is its additional weight.

Greater machine weight increases downward pressure at the pad or brush, which can improve performance in applications such as:

• Marble polishing

• Stone polishing

• Aggressive floor maintenance

• Procedures requiring increased pad pressure

The 17-inch Thoroughbred platform is specifically designed to accommodate added weight for these demanding applications.

No Pad Driver Included

Model 5001706 is supplied without a pad driver.

This allows the customer to select the compatible accessory best suited to the intended floor-care procedure.

Depending on the application, the machine can be equipped with an appropriate:

• Pad driver

• Scrubbing brush

• Stripping brush

• Stone-polishing accessory

• Marble-polishing accessory

• Other compatible floor-care attachment

1.5 HP Commercial Motor

The Thoroughbred 17 uses a 1.5 HP / 1100-watt motor.

Compared with the 1 HP configuration, the larger motor provides additional power for more demanding commercial floor-care applications.

17-Inch Working Width

The machine uses a 17-inch / 43 cm working width.

The smaller Thoroughbred platform provides excellent maneuverability while also supporting the additional-weight configuration used for specialty floor polishing.

155 RPM Single-Speed Operation

The Thoroughbred operates at approximately 155 RPM.

This traditional low-speed design provides controlled performance for a variety of professional floor-care procedures.

Polished Aluminum Base

The Thoroughbred features a corrosion-resistant polished aluminum base.

This heavy-duty construction helps provide long-term durability in demanding commercial cleaning environments.

Precision-Balanced Design

The machine is precision balanced to help improve cleaning efficiency and reduce operator fatigue.

Proper balance is especially valuable when operating a heavier floor-machine configuration for extended periods.

Mechanical Safety Lock-Out

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

This provides an added measure of safety during setup, handling, transportation, and storage.

Professional Applications

The NSS Thoroughbred 17 is well suited for:

• Stone polishing

• Marble polishing

• Commercial floor scrubbing

• Floor stripping

• Finished-floor maintenance

• Schools and universities

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
