Superior Shine. Easier to Use Design.

When the job calls for restoring your floor’s gloss, the Advance
BU800™ battery burnisher outshines even its updated look.

Operators of the BU800 will sense a whole new feel and
experience when burnishing. A more rigid frame and nine
vibration isolators have turned the operation of the BU800 into
the smoothest burnishing experience in the market.

With an updated, double-pivot pad-driver design, the BU800
burnishing pad stays in alignment and allows the pad to follow
the floor contours, leaving a more consistent gloss. Combining
the pad-driver design with the self-regulating pad pressure,
operators have an easy to use, battery walk-behind burnisher
that saves labor time and dollars.

Adding to the ease of operation is the self-lowering burnishing
deck. When the palm switches on the handle are activated, the
burnishing deck automatically lowers to the floor. When the
palm switches are released, the deck automatically returns to a
raised position. Simple controls also minimize training time
of operators.

Safety isn’t sacrificed for price and performance. An angle­activated safety switch keeps the machine from starting when
tipped back in the pad change position. Superior mobility
and line of site during operation add to its safety when
in operation.

The best passive dust control in the market is included on all
models, which contributes to improved indoor air quality
during operation. A felt seal contains all dust within a specially
designed shroud, directing it into a dual-port, disposable filter
bag. For facilities where indoor air quality is even more critical,
optional active dust control is available with the addition of an
Adgility™ hip-style vacuum on the front of the machine.

The Advance BU800 battery burnisher delivers the smooth
performance, consistent shine, and cleaner indoor air quality
that is demanded by today’s customers.

The BU800 has a 20 inch burnishing path, and comes with
either wet batteries for dependable long run time, or
maintenance-free AGM gel type batteries for an even longer
run time. The onboard battery charger allows for convenient
charging at any 120 Volt outlet so that operators don’t need to
return the machine to a storage or charging area.
