A. SIDE DOOR: Most installations are side door. This providw roar access for accessories and hoses as well as unobstructed access to componenffworking 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 tlm component side of the unit but also makes better weight distribution inside the van (engine and component weight line up over drive shaft). Also, it is physically easier to load unit into height of van bed.

HARD WATER AREA MAP
The quality of water varies greatly throughout the United States and influences the reliability and efficiency of equipment in direct propor­tion to its level of hardness. The map below defines areas which compromise fluid related components such as hoses, fittings, heat­ers, pumps, valves and water cooled engines.
Cleaning efficiency and equipment life is increased, chemical use decreased and the appearance of cleaned carpets enhanced when water softeners are incorporated in hard water areas. Manufacturer
strongly urges the use of water softener units in areas exceeding 3% grains per quality ofwater inyour area and take action immediately should it be
necessary.

Simply spray the wand for the duration of the vinegar in the one quart cantainer, then repeat the process clear water to void all lines of vinegar.
NOTE: with this unique chemical system, your chemical flow is pro­portionedtothe filling cycles of the mix tank, nottha direct spraying af the wand. Therefore, itispossible that as your wand is spraying, you
may have no chemical flow. Also, the converse is true in that you may not be spraying your wand but, if the mix tank is ina fillingcycle, your chemical flow meter may read your desired flow.
This chemical system will mix a 1to30 ratio when flow meter isset at “ 5 GPH. Most chemical suppliers will recommend a 1 to 15 ratio, therefore you can either set the flow meter at 10 GPH, giving you a 1 to 15 ratio of chemical to cleaning water, or double the recomm-
ended strength of chemical in the 5 gallon jug and set the flow
meter at 5 GPH, thereby attaining a 1to 15 ratio. (It is recommended that you set the flow meter at 10 GPH for overall best results.)

This systam has been designed to be the most simple and trouble-
frwe ever.
This incoming water flows directly tothe mix tank. Water will nowflow through a pmpcwtioning valve which will simultaneously mix the
chemical to achiew your desired solution. The mix tank isequipped with 2 different float valves, one of which responds to the water level
af the tank and will maintain the proper volume of solution to be re-
swwed for the cat pump. The secondary float valve is a safety valve
that is desigmsd to protect your system from sudden or unexpected
loss of water supply. if, for example, the water source at the house
was turned off, the water level of the mix tank would drop, activating
the secondary valve which automatically kills the engine.

As you remove your discharge manifold, there isa set of 3 check val­ves (which usually fall out during dis-assembly). If the surfaces of these check valves are dirty, or show signs of chemical build-up, it is
probable that they would remain open causing pressure loss or pul-
sation. Upon inspecting the valves, make sure that the teflon buttons
in the valve spring retainers are still itact. Also examine the dis­charge manifold. Look for problems such as cracks, chemical build­up or warpage due to freezing. Ifthis discharge manifold iswarped, it will cause the check valves to stick and will result in lossofpressure.
The Cat pump cups are often the source of pressure loss. Upon in­spection they may appear melted or torn, but often they will look good. Replace them anyway. There is no sure method ofvisually in-
specting the cups. Hydra-Master recommends changing cups whether they look good or not.
Anytime your’pump is being dismantled, Hydra-Master recommends
replacement of all ‘o’ rings and seals. This is merely a convenience to the customer to make sure that the Cat pump is in top operating condition.
The prrrm-a-lube seals located within the intake manifold will allow air to enter the pump if they are worn. Again, it is difficult to visually
pinpoint a defective prrrm-a-lube seal. Replace them all.
Within the piston sleeve cylinders there are 6 ‘o’ rings that are about
‘/4 the size of a penny. If these ‘o’ ringsare bad, water will be pumped
back into the oil. If this has occured the oil will raise in level and will
appear milky. If you are unable to repair seals rightaway, change oil
e
frequently. Repair the pump as soon as possible so as to not dam-
age bearing or connecting rods.
Repairing of Cat pumps isnota difficulttask. However, before disas­sembling make sure you have the proper parts required.
1- short (or hot) cup kit 6- piston sleeve ‘o’ rings 3- Prrrm-a-lube seals
1- bottle Cat oil
Read instructions thoroughly, supplied in the Cat pump manual,
prior to disassembly and follow directions as stated. Oil all seals thoroughly prior to installation. (Remember, a newly scarred seal is no better than one you just took out.)

HIGH PRESSURE PUMP
TROUBLESHOOTING
A pump instruction brochure on pages 8-15 may assist you in resol­ving a pump related problem.
Plmmmvl:
o LOSS OF PRESSURE
CAUSE AND/OR SOLUTION:
1. Clogged Filter Screen in garden hose quick connect coupler.
A. Remove and clean or replace filter.
2. Low water pressure at source.
A. Determine rate of flow and select an alternate source of
supply if water pressure is inadequate.
3. Defective or blocked check valves in high pressure pump cylinder head.
A. Ok-assemble cylinder head and replace or clean applicable
check valve.
4. Delaminated, kinked or clogged hose between the mix tank and the high pressure pump.
A. Remove and replace defective hose.
5. Defective pressure relief valve or debris in pressure relief valve. NOTE: the high pressure bypass valve is designed to fully close when the cleaning tool is turned on. Any foreign matter collecting on the piston will prevent full closure of the valve and allow a potilon of the water to continue to circulate
instead of being routed to the cleaning tool. To correct this
situation, the bypass valve must be disassembled and cleaned

WATER FLOW
1. Worn out spray jet. NOTE: Cleaning tools designed to spray a
constant flow of 1‘/2GPM will average 1 gallon of flow per minute in actual working situations since flow is not continuous. An average flow of 1 GPM results in 6000 gallons of flow for every 100 hours of unit operation. Spray tips are capable of consistent flow rates for approximately 20,000 gallons. They should be replaced therefore, approximately every 350 hours. Worn spray jets allow a greater average rate of flow thus reducing desired temperature levels.
A. Remove and replace spray jet.

IMPORTANT DRIVE INFORMATION
Pump speed and pump output in gallons per minute as tabulated is based upon a 1725 RPM drive motor. Select motor pulley size to provide GPfvl of the approximate pump out­put desired.
Pump RPM and GPM output are ap­proximate values due to variations in pulleys, belts and motors between manufacturers and a + –
output tolerance.
Horsepower figures
horsepower figures. For gas engine requirements, manufacturer’s recommendations. In general, use a gas engine with ap­proximately double the electric motor horsepower.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION
The illustration at the right shows the basic elements for the proper installation of a high-
-pressure pump. Each component offers
potential problems that too often are ascribed to a perfectly functioning pump. A clogged strainer, a partially closed shut-off valve or a faulty pressure gauge or pressure regulating
unloader may be the source of trouble.
Proper system installation, routine lubrica-
tion and monitoring of components are your
best and guarantees of optimum pump perfor-
mance. These precautions will eliminate most
problems, minimize corrective maintenance,
a
and give many, many added hours of trouble
free operation. Cat Pumps Corporation does
not assume any liability or responsibility for
the operation of a customer’s high pressure
system.

buf not necessarily a pump probkem!
Ehefore any servicing of the pump, carefully check
the following; inlet plumbing for size, restriction andlor air leaks, restricted or worn orifice and con­dition of the by-pass valve and pressure gauge. Ch@ck any shut-off valves in the inlet or discharge plumbing to be sure they are fully open. Seven out of ten problems are other than pump problems!

MATERIAL RETURNS: If necessary to return a Cat Pump, please secure an approved “RETLfRN
GOODS AUTHORIZATION” form
from Cat Purnrm Corporation and complete a “PRODUCT REPORT” form detailing the application and th~ conditions of operation. Any material AIJTHQRIZ­ED for return must be shipped FREIGHT
PREPAID.
FILTER INSPECTION: A frequent source of low pressure is due to foreign matter in the fluid being
pumped. It takes but one small particle to partially hold open a valve—
or filter, or if the particles are
several to plug an inlet screen
abrasive,to damage
packings, valves, valve seats, or plungers.
Inspect filters and screens on a schedule comm-
ensurate with the material being pumped and
whenever a low pressure problem develops.
NOZZLES: A worn nozzle will result in loss of pressure.

Prmwwm%x Optimum performance is obtained with
flooded suction. The pump can operate with inlet pressure up to 40 PSI. Use of excessive pressure will void the warranty.
Inlet Accessories: Install an inlet strainer of twice the rated capacity of the pump.
A stand pipe to help maintain a positive pressure
head in the inlet line is desirable.
A shut-off valve is recommended to facilitate
maintenance. Discharge Plumbing: Install a puisatian dampening
device mounted directly to the discharge line and
precharged to a pressure calibrated for operating con-
ditions.
A re/iab/e pressure gauge should be installed near the discharge outlet of the high pressure manifold. This is extremely important for adjusting pressure
regulating devices and also for proper sizing of the noz-
zle or restricting orifice. The pump is rated for a
max-
imum pressure; this is the pressure which would be
read at the discharge manifold of the pump, not at the
gun or nozzle end of a long hose.
A pressure regulating relief valve or unloader must
be installed to prevent over-pressure in the event the discharge or downstream plumbing becomes plugged or is turned off. Severe damage to the pump wif[ result if this condition occurs without a rslief valve in the line. CA UTIOIV: Failure to install such a valve wtil void the
warranty on the pump.

HEATIN INFOR
The propane heater incoporatad in this equipment is of special d@­sign for use in the carpet cleaning industry. [t’s high pressure coils and thermostatic temperature control make it simple to operate and
reliable. One@tlw desired temperature is set, the heater’ will then go
‘on’and ‘off according tothe water temperature within the heater. As water is used through the cleaning tool, cold water entering tlw hea­ter will ati]vate the thermostatically controlled firing the heater to maintain a consistent fiow of hot water. One@tho
cleaning wand is shut off and the flow of water through the heatfw
stops, the heater will continue to burn until the set tempimatwe is at-
tained.
It ispossible th~n with this design that the flame maybe on when tlm
wand is off, likewise, it is possible the flame may be off when the
wand is on.
~ This beater is desicmed to burn warm mopane
gas only. Any liquid propane entering tke heater may c~use damage
to the control valve on the heater. Itwill also
and a soot build-upon the coils. Therefore, itis necessary to shut off the heater and close the valve at the tank bfftween cleaning loca­tions. Failure to do this allows sloshing liquid to enter
line to the heater.

stop filling when whke liquid starts spurting from the 107. valve. To
prevent damage to the propane regulator, always close the valve on the tank before filling.
When venting the heater through the roof of the van, it is necessary to install a draft diverter on top of the heater. This will prevent down drafts from blowing out the pilot light.
The propane regulator is pre-set at the factory at 6 oz. of propane. This reading is taken at the control valve on the heater (see figure A #6). To prevent road dust and moisture from entering the propane regulator, keep the white Tupperware cover (supplied) on the reg­ulator at all times.
To avoid restriction of airflowat base of heater, keep articles such as
chemical containers, hose, boxes, etc. from within 18 inches of base of heater. NOTE: This restricted situation also creates an over rich condition which results in soot build-up.
IMPORTANT: If a new propane tank has been installed or hoses have been disconnected, air may enter propane hoses and must be purged prior to attempting to light the pilot burner. Should this condi-
tion exist, operator must depress the pilot buttonfor 1-5 minutes and
attempt to ignite the pilot light at 15 second intervals. A very slight hissing noise should be evident while performing this operation.

A. TO START PILOT:
1. Adjust thermostat control knob on unitrolto ‘normal’. @ Fig. A.
2. Adjust upper dial to ‘pilot’position. @Fig. A.
3. Depress pilot button. @Fig. A.
4. While pilot button is depressed with the left hand, use your right hand forefinger to depress the electric spark pilot igniter button several times in rapid succession, then look to see if pilot is lit. If not, depress in rapid succession again until lit. If this fails, use the resourceful match.
NOTE: Whenever ignitingpilot, hold litmatch in front of pilotsight
opening before inspection. Move lit match toward pilot burner. The pilot should ignite.
IF HEATER FAILS TO LIGHT:
Is propane tank full?
Is propane tank valve open? Has air been properly bled from propane line? Once pilot is litcontinue depressing button for 10 seconds to
insure thermo coupler has been heated.
B. TO LIGHT MAIN BURNER:
1. Turn upper knob to ‘on’ position. Flame will come on.
IF NOT: Pilot has expired.
Turn upper dial to ‘off position. @Fig. A. Do not attempt to relight pilot for 60 seconds. Then repeat instructions A -#1 -4. Water may already beat controlled temperature.
IF YES: Flame will turn off when thermostat senses maximum temp.
C. TO ACHIEVE PROPER CARPET CLEANING TEMPERATURE:
1. Complete procedures A & B
2. With 100’ of hose, turn cleaning wand on for 5 minutes and the temperature should stabilize.
3. Once a constant temperature is established, turn cleaning wand ‘off. The flame on the heater burner should remain on for 10-15 seconds.
A. If the flame expires priorto 10 seconds, turn the

DO NOT TAMPER WITH PARTS WHICH MAY INCREASE THE GOVERNED SPEED.
For rotary Iawnmower safety, A. N.S. I. Standard Safety Specifications for power Lawn Mowers specify a maximum blade tip speed of 19,000 feet per minute (96.5 meters per second), primarily to reduce the hazard from thrown objects.
Rotary Iawnmower manufacturers select the governed top speed of the en9ine based on the length and design of the cutter blade and desbgn of other mower parts. All rotary Iawnmowers should be checked for conformance to the A. N.S. I. Standard Safety Specifications for Power Lawn Mowers on blade tip speed, if the engine is repaired or replaced, or if mower parts are changed.

It is recommended by the manufacturer that the exhaust from the front of the machine be vented down under the truck to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the job site. Always
park the truck so the exhaust is blowing away from the job site.
The manufacturer also recommends that installation of aluminum vents inthe truck roofto allow heat from the heater to escape.

WATER SOFTENER
Many areas of the country have an excess of minerals in the water
which results inwhat iscommonly called “hard water”. These miner-
als tend to whsre to the insides d heater coils and other parts ofthe
machimas causing damag~ and a lass of cleaning effectiveness.
FlaPcIrts from sevw’al of our machine users commending the results
I
of ~ht+use af wab.m’softc$nersin conjuntilon with the~r machines prompts us to recmnm~nd the procedure to everyone in a “hard ,/’\ i water” area.
The relatively law cost of a water softener service is more than made
up for in the increased life of machine parts and continued cleaning efficiency. The water sofkmer will also increase the effectiveness of the cleaning chemical being used, therefore, less chemical will be needed.
Contact a water softener distributorinyour area for information on the
rental of a simple water treatment unit to carry in your truck. to change the water softener in accordance with the capability of the sdhwkw. Example: If the softener will treat 900 gallons of water and the machines uses an average of 30 gallons per hour of use, and an
average of 5 hours a day, would be 150 gallons a day. 5 days would equal 7!30 gallons ofwater, therefore, th@softener would be changed every Gworking days for maximum softening.

MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS:
Although this unit has been factory adjusted, it may require addi­tional adjustments to achieve optimum performance; i.e. altitude may require carb adjustment and ambient temperatures may require heat control adjustment. When required, consu\t an authorized rep-
resentative.
ENGINE COOLING:
_ Units employing air cooled engines must not be incapacitated within a van with doors and windows closed. Ex­cessive temperatures within the engine will result in premature en­gine failure and a compromise of applicable warranty.
LEVEL OPERATION:
level ground not to exce%d’ + or – 10 deg.. Failure to ins~re proper
leveling may prevent proper internal lubrication of engine, vacuum and)or high pressure components.
FREEZE PROTECTION:

OVER-WETTING
Over-wetting is annoying to all concerned and sometimes leaves a bad impression of the cleaning process used.
There are several areas that will cause over-wetting:
1. Too few vacuum strokes or improper sawtooth vacuum strokes as shown above.
2. Obstructed, kinked or cut hoses.
3. Vacuum tank drain valve left partially open.
4. Clogged vacuum blower filter or vacuum tank lid not sealing properly.
5. Cleaning a heavily foam-saturated carpet without defoamer. (We recommend crystal type.)
MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
To avoid costly repairs and down-time, it is imperative to develop
and practice good maintenance procedures from the beginning. These procedures fall into daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly in­crements, and are outlined below. We have provided a maintenance
log for your convenience on the following pages; it is recommended
that you affix a copy of the logon the vehicle door near your unit for
n
convenience and to serve as a maintenance reminder.

OVERALL CARE OF UNIT
MAINTAINING THE ORIGINAL APPEARANCE OF YOUR UNIT IS IMPORTANT FOR TWO REASONS:
1. It represents a big dollar investment for your cleaning business and its appearance should reflect that fact. A dirty machine is not professional!
2. Maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair is much easier to accomplish on a clean well maintained unit. Regular cleaning of the machine offers you an opportunity to visually inspect allfacets of the machine and spot potential problems before they occur.
FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE IS RECOMMENDED BY THE MAN­UFACTURER AT THE FREQUENCY INDICATED.
AFTER EACH JOB: Check recovey tank, s/s filter and filter bag as
required.
DAILY: Wipe machine down thoroughly with a damp cloth; flush re­covery tank out thoroughly. Empty filter bag and inspect for rips, tears, etc. - replace as needed; remove, thoroughly clean and
reinstall stainless steel filter screen in recovery tank; inspect and
clean vacuum slot on cleaning wand; check wand head for sharp
edges that could tear carpet - file down as needed; clean wand with
stainless steel cleaning compound to maintain original appearance
(available through grocery stores); wipe down vacuum and high
pressure hoses as needed - visually inspect for cuts, etc..
WEEKLY: Wipe down entire unit as needed - apply good coat of
auto wax to all painted surfaces inside and out, and to control panel;
thoroughly clean recovery tank using high pressure hot water (unit
with optional high pressure cleaning gun may be used for this); re-
move stainless steel filter in recovery tank, thoroughly clean remov-
ing all lint build-up, inspect for damage and reinstall. Remove filter
bag, thoroughly clean and reinstall - iftorn, replace; empty chemical
from chemical container, wash out thoroughly to remove any chemi-
cal build-up; inspect chemical feed line strainer and use 50% white
vinegar/water solution to remove any chemical build-up; thoroughly
clean wand and inspect for clogged jet, debris in vacuum slot and
leaking fittings at valve. Apply light coat of auto wax to wand;
thoroughly clean vacuum and high pressure hoses including hose
cuffs - inspect for wear or damage to hoses and quick connect fit-
tings. Inspect garden hose connect/adapter screen for debris, re-
move and clean thoroughly. Inspect all propane and gas lines for
wear or abrasions that may cause possible fuel leaks.
