Since the first and most important part of repair work is the correct diagnosis of the trouble, a general troubleshooting section and component manual troubleshooting charts have been included for your convenience. Unlike the garden tractor, lawnmower and cement mixer all having one and maybe two functions to perform, the Hydra-Master truck mounted carpet cleaning plant has many functions to perform simultaneously. 1. Engine has to run consistent RPM. 2. Vacuum has to pull air and dirty water back from cleaning site. 3. Water pump provides stable pressure at proper water flow for cleaning. 4. Chemical has to be injected into the water stream at the right consistency. 5. Heater must fire on demand and maintain proper heat. (Except for Aqua Cat). 6. Vacuum tank must store dirty water until drained. with As you can see it is n’ot just a turn key operation only one thing to worry about, DOES IT S~AR~?l As there is no guesswork in the manufacture of these highly advanced cleaning plants, there nust be none in preparing it to get the job done in the field. It is the purpose of this manual to help you properly understand, maintain and service your Hydra-Master cleaning plant. Follow the directions carefully and you will be rewarded with years of profitable trouble-free operation. It is imperative that no section be overlooked preparing for operation of this equipment. when = Hydra-Master uses this symbol throughout the manual to warn of possible injury or death. = This symbol is used to warn possible equipment damage. of MAINTAIN GOOD PROFIT - WITH GOOD MAINTENANCE In the past 3 years, we at Hydra-Master have become alarmed increasing number of calls pertaining to service problems. at the Our findings are that 85% of all down time is a direct result of poor maintenance habits.

A. Side door: Most installations This provides rear access for accessories and hoses as well as unobstructed access to component/working side of machine, thus making it a bit easier to perform maintenance and/or repair without removing unit from the truck. B. Rear door: Although this location partly limits working access, it does direct the noise away from the cleaning site. Some cleaners in the colder areas prefer this location because it puts the weight mass over the rear wheels for better traction in ice and snow. Rear mounting requires the unit to be slid to the right side as far as POSSible. This not only provides adequate working space on the component side of the unit but also makes better weight distribution inside the Van (engine and component wt. line up over drive shaft). Also, it is physically easier to load unit into rear door due to height of Van bed. When carrying water, tank will then be located over center of Van. EEEl Ensure that machine is well secured to the floor of Van w/hardware supplied. Sudden or crash stop will cause machine to rocket forward, all 550 lbs. worth ! Protect your driver and machine.

Failure to adopt it in sub-freezing climates may result in costly repair or replacement of components. 1. Drain the water from the hot water tank with the drain hose provided. recirculating 2. Pour 5 gallons of 50/50 antifreeze and water into the recirculating hot water holding tank. Lid on tank must be removed to perform this step and then replaced. NOTE: Antifreeze solution must be checked with each use to ensure safe levels are maintained since dilution will occur. It is recommended that levels are monitored frequently and antifreeze added as necessary to provide an added ten degree margin of safety. 3. To effectively pump antifreeze solutions throughout fittings, hoses, engine, pumps, etc. , start unit without incoming water attached and with safety pressure switch locked out using the switch provided for this purpose located on the dash panel. 4. With solution hoses and cleaning tool attached, draw antifreeze solution or alcohol through the chemical flow meter and hoses for 20 - 30 seconds. Unit is effectively freeze guarded when antifreeze solution starts to discharge from cleaning tool. 5. Prior to turning unit off, move rocker lock-out switch to its opposite setting to open the overtemperature solenoid on the hot water discharge This ensures total elimination of water line. from all remaining water lines. 6. Prior to starting future cleaning following must be performed. A. Drain antifreeze sealed container operations the solutions into a 5 gallon and save for future use. 9 t B. Attach incoming water supply hose just prior to starting unit and flush antifreeze from unit by turning cleaning tool on. Cleaning operation can resume once antifreeze no longer is emitted from the cleaning tool. NOTE: All hoses containing antifreeze must be cleared in this manner to prevent possible discoloration to carpet fibers. 7. Repeat operations 1 through for the day or when placing 5 when retiring the unit unit into storage. M HOSE \ FIGURE A HOSE BARB TROUBLESHOOTING I. ENGINE ONAN INDUSTRIAL (Ref.

These minerals tend to adhere to the insides of heater coils and other parts of the machines causing damage and a loss of cleaning effectiveness. Reports from several of our machine users commending the results of the use of water softeners in conjunction with their machines prompts us to recommend the procedure everyone in a “hard water” area. to The relatively low cost of a water softener service is more than made up for in the increased life of machine parts and continued cleaning efficiency. Contact a water softener distributor in your area foe information on the rental of a simple water treatment unit to carry in your truck. See installation diagram below.

Excessive plunger shaft wear would result through either lack of lubrication or excessive vibration and compromised vacuum strength at the cleaning tool. Units manufactured after March 1, 1979 now incorporate the Vacuum Relief valve depicted below which requires no daily lubrication. A modification kit is available which can be adapted to existing equipment in the field at a moderate price. This revision will minimize the over-wetting condition of carpets which can result through the excessive shaft wear described above.
