Compact single-disc floor machine

The product in detail

The Johnny Vac JV13LS is a compact 13 in single-disc machine for tight spaces. Its 190 rpm rotary action supports different permitted jobs depending on the pad or brush. An adjustable handle and 15 L solution tank help organize work in small areas, with separate equipment to recover liquids.

Listed specifications

Supplier specifications. Performance varies with configuration and conditions of use. Follow the supplied product’s manual and label.

Surfaces and compatibility

For scrubbing, maintenance or polishing explicitly permitted for the combination of floor, finish, machine, pad and chemical. Speed and orbital or rotary motion affect consumable selection.

Confirm electrical power on the nameplate before planning the circuit. For pad drivers or pads, check the fitting and permitted speed as well as nominal diameter.

Preparation and use

1. Identify the task and remove loose debris.
2. With power disconnected, fit a pad driver, pad or brush of the correct size and attachment.
3. Adjust the handle and inspect the cord, safety controls and work area.
4. Test the specified speed and chemical on a small area; keep the machine moving as instructed.
5. Recover solution by the planned method if the machine has no suction. Inspect the dry result.

Care and storage

Disconnect power before removing consumables. Clean pads, inspect the driver and dry parts. Store without compressing the brush or pad if instructed. A loaded pad can cause marks and uneven results.

Limits and things to check

A floor machine or burnisher does not necessarily have a recovery system. Pad colour alone does not establish compatibility; verify reference, abrasiveness and permitted speed.

Equipment, accessories and options

Supplier-listed equipment: a 40 ft cord, 12 in nylon brush, 12 in polypropylene brush, 15 L tank and pad driver. Clarify driver dimensions relative to pads.
