The HydraMaster Boxxer H20 is a purpose designed machine to accommodate the needs
of the Water Restoration Contractor who is extracting water and not cleaning carpet. The
basis of the machine is a 27 HP Liquid Cooled V Twin engine that is directly coupled via
the patented BUCS coupling system to a T uthill 4007 Dominator blower. This combination
produces over 400 CFM of air flow, more than enough to extract water with one or two
wands.
In addition to this high performance Power Pack, the Boxxer H20 comes with a 100 gallon
recovery tank. The reliable Dura-Flo Automatic Pump Out is an option which allows you
to extract water without the need to shut down and empty the recovered water.
In addition to the obvious performance aspects of this machine, it was designed to deliver
maximum reliability and to be easily serviced. All the major component s have been proven
in other HydraMaster Truckmounts and this new machine was put together with an eye
towards simple, quick maintenance. All service point s are conveniently located so routine
maintenance takes only a few minutes to perform.
As with any machine, it is important to use the Boxxer H2O correctly. Operating the machine is simple; just start the engine with the vacuum hoses disconnected, let it warm up
for two or three minutes, advance the throttle to the maximum operating position, connect
the vacuum hoses and you are ready to extract water. We strongly suggest that the operator of the machine be well acquainted with the IICRC guidelines for Flood Extraction
and with the various methods of carpet drying that are currently being used. It is also
recommended that the machine operator be familiar with the local municipality’s requirements for the proper disposal of waste water. Typically waste water is to be deposited in
the city sewer system and never in a gutter or storm drain where it would eventually find
it’s way into a stream, river, lake, ocean or public water supply system.

Precautions
ENGINE COOLING: Units employing internal combustion engines must not be enclosed
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.
MOVING PARTS: Never touch any part of the machine that is in motion. Severe bodily
injury may result.
HOT SURF ACES: During the operation of this equipment, many surfaces on the machine
will become very hot. When near the van for any reason care must be taken not to touch
any hot surface, such as blower, engine, exhaust, etc.
HEARING PROTECTION: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
recommends the use of hearing protection when a technician is exposed to an average of
85 decibels (this is an average of exposure over an 8 hour period). This equipment can
produce 85 decibels to a distance of 10 feet. Please check with your local state agencies
to see if OSHA standards apply to your application.
NO SMOKING: It is unsafe to smoke in or around the vehicle.
CARBON MONOXIDE: This unit generates toxic fumes. Position the vehicle so that the
fumes will be directed away from the job site. Do not park where exhaust fumes can enter
a building through open doors, windows, air conditioning units or kitchen fans.
Page 1-3: General Information
Page 10
Boxxer H2O
TOXIC FUMES: Do not occupy the vehicle when the cleaning equipment is operating.
Toxic fumes may accumulate inside a stationary vehicle.
ENGINE EXHAUST: The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
PORTABLE GAS TANK: Never operate this machine with a portable gas can inside the
truck. Doing so increases the risk of a fire or explosion.
TRANSPORTA TION OF FUEL CONTAINERS: Transportation in a vehicle of any vented
fuel container that presently has or has ever contained a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster Corporation and by federal and state regulation.
THROUGH-FLOOR DRILLING: Be cautious when drilling holes through the van floor.
Many vans have critical components mounted directly below the van floor that could be
damaged by a misplaced drill bit. (See Product Support Bulletins 92102, 94062 and 94063
at the end of the manual.)
LEVEL OPERATION: During operation, van or trailer must be parked on level ground not
to exceed + or - 10 degrees. Failure to insure proper leveling may prevent proper internal
lubrication of engine and vacuum blower.
The machine cannot be run in the IDLE position for carpet or floor extraction. This will void
the warranty.
EXHAUST SYSTEM: Do not allow flammable material (i.e. oil, fuel, plastic or wood products) to come in contact with the exhaust system.

Vehicle Preparation
When selecting a truck, remember the preferable vehicle for a Boxxer H2O installation is a
cargo van with a heavy-duty suspension package and a 3/4 capacity. A 3/4 ton or larger
capacity van, with a 2,400 pound payload capacity, is required.
TRUCK PREP ARATION
The manufacturer recommends the installation of a spray-on bed liner in the vehicle prior
to installation of machine.
Be cautious when drilling any holes through the van floor. Many vans have
critical components mounted directly below the van floor that could be damaged by a misplaced drill bit. (See Product Support Bulletins 92101, 94062,
and 94063 at the end of this manual.)
This provides ‘metal to cushion’ mounting rather than ‘metal to metal’ and makes for an
attractive van interior . It is highly recommended to install roof vents in vehicles operated in
hot weather locations. Roof vent positions are shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Roof Vents
Page 1-7: General Information
Page 14
Boxxer H2O
PLACEMENT OF UNIT IN VEHICLE
There are two recommended unit placements (shown in Figure 1-2):
SIDE DOOR:
Most installations are side door. This provides rear access for accessories and hoses as
well as unobstructed access to the component/working side of the machine, thus making
it a bit easier to perform maintenance and/or repair without removing the unit from the
truck.
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 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
improves weight distribution inside the van (engine and component weight line up over
drive shaft). Also, it is physically easier to load the unit into the rear door due to the height
of the van bed.
Figure 1-2 Recommended Placement
Page 1-8: General Information
HydraMaster Corporation
Page 15
Boxxer H2O
Machine Tie Down Cleats
Secure the machine to the floor of the van with the four tie down cleats provided. This
safety measure will ensure that the machine will not slide inside the van. See the following illustration for the correct installation.
Figure 1-4 Installation Using Tie-down Cleats
Ensure that the machine is well secured to the floor of the van with the hardware
supplied. A sudden stop or crash will cause the machine to rocket forward. Protect
yourself and the machine. SECURE IT!
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 the installation of aluminum vents in
the truck roof to allow heat to escape.
Never operate this machine with a portable gas can inside the truck. Doing
so increases the risk of a fire or explosion.
Mount a fire extinguisher just inside the rear or side door for emergencies.
Page 1-9: General Information
Page 16
Boxxer H2O
Do not use a portable propane tank inside of the truck or van. Doing so may
increase risk of fire or explosion.
Transportation in a vehicle of any vented fuel cont ainer that presently holds
or has ever held a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster Corporation and by federal and state regulation.
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the St ate
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

High Altitude Operation
Preparation
Although this unit has been factory adjusted, it may require additional adjustments
to achieve optimum performance, for instance higher altitudes may require carburetor
adjustment. When required, consult an authorized representative. Elevation plays a key
role in how the machine will operate.
The factory setting of the machine is set for elevations from 0—3,000 feet. Any time the
machine is operated above 3,000 feet there are two areas on the machine the may need
adjustment.
The first area is the carburetor jet. The higher the elevation, the less air is provided to the
fuel mixture. This will make the engine run ‘rich’, and, in turn will result in the loss of
power , excessive heat in the exhaust, and carbon buildup in the exhaust system. The jet
sizes vary per engine and elevation. Consult HydraMaster to obtain proper jet size.

Local Water Precautions
WASTE WATER DISPOSAL ADVISORY
There are laws in most communities prohibiting the dumping of recovered “gray” water
from carpet cleaning in any place but a sanitary treatment system.
The extracted water recovered into your unit’s vacuum tank must be processed before
being safe for streams, rivers and reservoirs.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EPA, ST A TE AND LOCAL LA WS, DO NOT DISPOSE OF
WASTE WATER INTO GUTTERS, STORM DRAINS, STREAMS, RESERVOIRS, ETC.
In most cases, an acceptable method of waste water disposal is to discharge into a municipal sewage treatment system after first filtering out solid material such as carpet fiber.
Access to the sanitary system can be obtained through a toilet, laundry drain, RV dump,
etc. Permission should first be obtained from any concerned party or agency.
One disposal method which usually complies with the law is to accumulate the waste
water and haul it to an appropriate dump site. Another solution to the disposal problem is
to equip your machine with an Automatic Pump-Out System. These systems are designed to remove waste water from the extractor’s recovery system and actively pump the
water through hoses to a suitable disposal drain. Properly designed, they will continuously monitor the level of waste water and pump it out simultaneously to the cleaning
operation. The hidden benefit of this process is that the technician does not have to stop
his cleaning to empty the recovery tank.
HydraMaster produces an A.P.O. System available which can be ordered with new equipment or installed later.
The penalties for noncompliance can be serious. Always check local laws and regulations
to be sure you are in compliance.

Machine Maintenance
To avoid costly repairs and downtime, 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. All recommended maintenance must be performed by competent service personnel.
Important: Record the date and machine hours on the maintenance log.
We have provided a maintenance log for your convenience at the end of this section.
Records of maintenance must be kept and copies may be required to be furnished to
HydraMaster before the warranty is honored. It is recommended that you affix a copy of
the log on the vehicle door near your unit for convenience and to serve as a maintenance
reminder.
OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE
DAILY:
•Check engine oil level.
•Visually inspect machine for loose wires, oil leaks, etc.
•Lubricate blower with an oil based lubricant through blower inlet.
WEEKLY:
•Inspect vacuum tank s/s filter and filter basket for tears, holes, etc.
Clean, repair or replace as needed.
•One time change of oil and oil filter after first 50 hours of use.
•Check oil level in blower.
•Check drive system screws. Tighten as needed.
•Check all nuts and bolts. Tighten as needed.
•Inspect vacuum relief valve. Clean and lubricate as necessary.
•Clean vacuum tank thoroughly with high pressure washer.
•Check wiring for chafing.
•Change engine oil (every 100 hrs.).
Page 4-1: Machine Maintenance
Page 24
Boxxer H2O
MONTHLY:
•Change oil filter (every other oil change).
It is important to use only Briggs oil filters. Even though an
aftermarket filter may fit, the internal by-pass system may not be
compatible with the Briggs engine resulting in low oil pressure.
•Check engine air cleaner filter. Clean as necessary.
•Check water level in battery. Clean connections as needed.
QUARTERLY:
•Check fuel lines.
•Clean and gap spark plugs.

OVERALL MACHINE MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the original appearance of your unit is import ant for two reasons:
1. It represents a big dollar investment for your recovery 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 all facets of the machine and spot potential problems before they
occur.

The vacuum pump in this machine is commonly referred to as a ‘positive displacement lobe’
type blower. The performance and life of this unit is greatly dependent on the care and proper
maintenance it receives.
Because of the close tolerances between the lobes and housing of the vacuum blower, solid
objects entering the inlet will damage the internal lobes, gears, bearings or drive system.
T o prevent this, a stainless steel filter screen has been placed at the vacuum inlet inside the
vacuum recovery tank. This stainless steel screen is ‘finger’ tight and should be removed
for cleaning weekly .
T o protect the vacuum blower from overloading and damaging itself, there is a vacuum relief
system installed on the vacuum tank. When the vacuum tank inlet is completely sealed off, a
maximum of 12 HG will be attained.
At the end of each day , an oil based lubricant should be sprayed into the blower lubrication
port before shutting down the machine. Lubricate the vacuum blower daily to prevent rust
deposits and moisture that will decrease the life of the vacuum blower .
Foam passing through the blower could lead to serious problems.
It is important to keep the vacuum tank foam free.
Read the vacuum blower manual carefully for proper oil change. The maintenance log may
differ slightly from the manual, but the truck-mounted carpet cleaning machine application is
very demanding of the vacuum blower and therefore it should be maintained more regularly .
The vacuum tank is protected from overflowing by a vacuum tank float kill switch. The switch
is not activated by foam, only by liquid.
VACUUM TANK FILTER BASKETS
HydraMaster filter baskets are designed to trap lint, sand and dirt that would normally collect
at the bottom of your vacuum tank. The use of these filters, if emptied at the end of each job,
will eliminate the build-up of much of the debris in the tank.

2.1.There is an air leak somewhere in the vacuum system. Check vacuum relief
valve for proper adjustment. Carefully check all vacuum hoses for a cut or break.
Check recovery tank lid gasket. Make sure recovery tank drain valve is fully closed.
2.2.V acuum blower is turning too slowly. Check engine RPM. Adjust as necessary
to 3000RPM.
2.3.The vacuum gauge is defective. Test gauge and replace as necessary .
3.0.V acuum gauge reads too high with no hoses attached
3.1.Filter in recovery t ank is clogged. Remove and clean or replace as necessary .
3.2.Hose from vacuum blower to recovery tank is collapsed internally. Inspect
and replace as necessary .
4.0.Noisy vacuum blower
4.1.Vacuum blower is low on oil. Inspect oil level and replenish as necessary . Note:
Running vacuum blower low on oil can cause severe mechanical damage. If this
situation occurs, it should be inspected by a qualified service technician.
4.2.V acuum blower has internal damage. Refer to qualified service technician.
Page 6-2: Vacuum System
HydraMaster Corporation
Page 56
Boxxer H2O
5.0.Vacuum blower is locked and will not turn.
5.1.The machine has been unused for a period on time and the blower was not
properly lubricated when it was shut down, causing rust to build up on internal surfaces. Spray penetrating oil into blower inlet and let sit for at least one hour .
Then very carefully use pipe wrench on outer diameter of pulley on blower shaft and
attempt to free up blower . Do not use wrench directly on blower shaft. If unable to free
up blower in this manner , refer to qualified service technician.
5.2.There is internal damage to the blower. Refer to qualified service technician.
Miscellaneous
Troubleshooting
1.0.W ater from exhaust
1.1.The recovery t ank has been filled with foam or overfilled with water. Remove
recovery tank lid and inspect. If full, drain tank then inspect high-level shutoff switch for
proper operation. Clean or replace switch as necessary .
1.1.1. If foam is observed in recovery tank, use defoamer.
1.2.Condensation. This will be more pronounced in cool weather and humid climates.
Observe how long this condition persists after starting machine. If it is only until the
machine warms up, it is normal.

Electrical System
The Boxxer electrical system, in keeping with the entire machine concept, has
been kept to a minimum so as to keep any necessary troubleshooting as easy as possible.
The entire electrical system operates on 12 volts DC which is provided by a battery. Battery levels are sustained by a 16 amp alternator inside the engine.
NOTE: When a new battery is installed, check that it is properly charged
before installation or damage to the charging regulator may occur.

2.0. Turns over but will not start. There is no spark
Note: To check for spark, use the following procedure. Remove a spark plug
from the engine. Attach the lead wire back onto the plug. Ground the threaded
part of the spark plug to an unpainted engine surface. While holding the plug and
wire assembly by the insulated wire, crank the engine over by turning the ignition
switch to the “start” position. Y ou should observe a blue spark between the two
electrodes of the spark plug.)

2.2.The engine ignition system is malfunctioning. Refer to a qualified engine service
technician for inspection.
3.0. Turns over but will not start. There is spark.
3.1.Fuel is not reaching the carburetor inlet. Check the fuel pump. If the pump is
working, inspect the fuel lines between the fuel source and the carburetor. Repair or
replace any faulty parts as necessary.
3.1.1. If the pump is not working, check for 12 volts and a ground at the pump.
3.1.2. If 12 volts is not present at the pump, check the wiring to the pump, including the fuse.
Repair or replace as necessary. Note: If the fuse has blown, carefully inspect the wiring
for a shorted or damaged wire. Repair immediately.
3.1.3. If 12 volts is present at the pump and the ground is good, replace the pump.
3.2.Recovery tank is full. Empty the tank.
3.3.Recovery tank float is defective. Disconnect float. If engine starts, replace the float.
3.4.The carb solenoid is malfunctioning. Test for 12 volts and proper ground at solenoid.
If both test okay , replace the solenoid.
3.5.The engine is flooded. Wait for a few minutes and attempt to start with the choke
open. Note: If the engine has been flooded, it may be necessary to remove and clean
the spark plugs.

4.0. Will not come up to normal operating RPM
4.1.Throttle linkage is out of adjustment. Inspect for broken or loose linkage. Repair or
replace as necessary and adjust to proper RPM. Note: It is important to use an
accurate tachometer to adjust engine speed to 3000 RPM while it is under a vacuum
load of between 10"hg and 14"hg. Too high or too low will cause severe damage to
machine components.
4.2.There is excessive load on the engine due to the blower-to-recovery tank hosebecomingdelaminated. Remove and inspect the inside of the hose. Replace as
necessary.
4.3.There is excessive back-pressure on the engine or blower exhaust. Check for
clogged blower heat exchanger.
5.0. Runs rough at medium or high speed
5.1.One or both spark plugs are defective. Remove and inspect spark plugs. Replace
as necessary.
5.2.A spark plug wire is loose at the spark plug or has been damaged. Inspect wire.
Replace wire and coil as necessary.
5.3.Low compression on one or both cylinders. Check compression. If low, check
valve adjustment. If incorrect, adjust to proper specs. This operation should be
performed by a qualified service technician.
5.3.1. If adjustment is okay, there is a possibility of burned valves, burned head gasket or worn
cylinders. Refer to qualified engine service technician.
5.4.Poor spark on one or both cylinders. Refer to qualified engine service technician.
5.5. Inadequate fuel supply to the carburetor. Test the fuel volume at the carburetor by
removing the fuel line from the carburetor inlet and placing the line in a metal container with
a minimum of 16 oz. capacity. Turn on the ignition switch to operate the fuel pump. The
fuel flow volume should be 12 oz. / minute. Check for clogged filter or obstructed fuel line.
Also check to make sure the fuel pump is mounted vertically and is close to the fuel
source. Repair as necessary.

6.0.Runs rich (Black smoke)
6.1. Dirty air filter. Inspect and replace as necessary.
6.2. Choke is partially closed. Inspect and adjust or repair as necessary.
6.3. Excessive fuel to carburetor. Insure that fuel pump is proper PSI rating. A fuel pump
with a psi rating in excess of that of the pump supplied with the machine could overpower
the inlet valve in the carburetor, causing excessive fuel to be supplied to the carburetor.
7.0.Engine overheats
7.1. Poor ventilation in vehicle. All cargo area doors must be open for proper ventilation.
Roof vents are strongly recommended for machines that are operated in hot climates. Any
item that might restrict air flow to the machine such as other equipment or a solid divider
should be moved or modified to permit proper air flow.
7.2. Low engine oil level. Check oil level and replenish as necessary.
7.3. Engine RPM too high. Check RPM with an accurate tachometer. Adjust as necessary
to 3000 RPM.
7.4. Restricted engine or blower exhaust. Disassemble exhaust components to locate
restriction. Repair as necessary.
