The Minuteman E20 is a walk-behind floor scrubber with a 20" disc, a 33" squeegee, a 12 gal solution tank and a 13 gal recovery tank. Battery models run on two 12 V batteries kept topped up by an on-board charger, the E20115BD runs corded from a 115 V outlet, and every E20 loads or drops its pad driver with a turn of the key.
Pick brush drive for smaller, level areas, or traction drive for a powered wheel and dial speed control across long corridors and open floors. Either way, the E20 fits schools, hospitals, stores and warehouses, with wet lead-acid or sealed AGM batteries to match how your team handles maintenance, as a machine without batteries, or as the corded brush drive E20115BD.
Features
Key-Operated Brush Load and Unload
Lower the deck over the pad driver and pull the bail to engage it; turn the key briefly to the unload position to drop it. Hands stay away from the dirty pad.
Low-Profile Disc Deck
A single 20" disc turns at 180 rpm on a 3/4 HP brush motor, with a low deck that scrubs around and under obstacles.
12 Gal Solution, 13 Gal Recovery
Long runs between refills, and a hygienic recovery tank that is quick to rinse at the end of the shift.
No-Fuss Squeegee
The 33" rear squeegee needs no daily operator adjustment and comes off with two star-shaped knobs. Its blades turn to use all four edges.
On-Board Smart Charger
Battery models charge from any grounded outlet. The machine is locked out while plugged in, and the charger stops at full charge to protect the batteries.
Traction Drive Option
Traction drive models add a 1/5 HP drive motor with a speed dial, a 3.1 mph working speed and 27,280ft²/hr rated productivity.
Adjustable Handle
The handle adjusts for angle and height, and ergonomic bail handles give a secure grip for steering.

What's Included

- On-board 115 V battery charger (battery models)
- Two 12 V batteries, wet lead-acid or AGM, on Quick Pack models only (not on No Batteries or corded models)

Setup & Placement
On battery models, the two 12 V batteries sit under the recovery tank, which tilts back for access once it is drained. Charge them fully with the on-board charger before the first shift. On wet lead-acid batteries, keep the water 1/4"-1/2" above the separators with distilled water and never overfill.
To fit the pad driver, center the raised deck over it, release the deck lift pedal to lower the deck, turn the key on and pull the bail handle to engage it.
