The Minuteman Mirage 1500 is a corded high-speed burnisher that spins a 20" pad at 1,500 rpm to bring finished hard floors up to a high-gloss shine. A 1.5 HP DC rectified motor drives the pad through a belt and draws 15 amps from a standard outlet.
That head speed suits regular buffing of corridors, lobbies and retail aisles, and the 75' cord lets one outlet cover a long run of floor. The Mirage 1500 ships equipped with its pad driver, ready for the burnishing pads you already stock.
Features
1.5 HP Belt-Driven Motor
A 66 frame DC rectified motor turns the pad through a drive belt, and the belt tension can be reset with four motor bolts and two frame screws.
Flexible Pad Driver
The driver's threaded centering device lets the pad conform to the floor for an even, consistent shine from edge to edge.
75' Heavy-Duty Cord
A 12-3 cord with a durable steel strain relief spring covers a wide working radius from each outlet.
Dual Levers and Safety Lockout
Metal on/off levers work from either hand, and the lockout lever under the right grip must be pressed before the motor will start.
Foot-Operated Handle Adjustment
Change the handle height with your foot, without bending down or reaching for a knob.
All-Steel Construction
Steel and stainless steel with a black powder-coated brush cover, a non-marking PVC bumper and 5" non-marking wheels.
Plug-In Motor Connection
The motor disconnects with a plug, which simplifies service.

Setup & Placement
Plug the Mirage into a grounded outlet on a standard 15 A, 120 V circuit, and unwind the 75' cord fully before use. If an extension is unavoidable, use a 12-gauge, three-wire grounded cord no longer than 25'.
To fit a pad, unplug the machine and tilt it back until it rests on its handle, center the pad on the pad driver and twist the center lock clockwise until tight. Twist it counterclockwise to remove the pad.

About Minuteman
Minuteman International is based in Pingree Grove, Illinois, and is a member of the Hako Group. It builds commercial floor care equipment: automatic scrubbers, sweepers, carpet extractors, floor machines and vacuums for schools, hospitals, offices, retail and warehouses.
The Mirage 1500 and Mirage 2000 are Minuteman's corded high-speed burnishers. The Mirage 1500 runs at 1,500 rpm and the Mirage 2000 at 2,000 rpm, and both use the same 20" head, 1.5 HP belt-driven motor and 75' cord. For scrubbing and stripping before you burnish, the 175 rpm Front Runner floor machines share their steel construction and foot-operated handle adjustment.
