Introduction
Maxx 450D/470D/450 Diesel
Section 1-1
his manual contains installation and operation instructions as well as informa-
T
tion required for proper maintenance, adjustment and repair of this unit. Since
the first and most important part of repair work is the correct diagnosis of the
problem, component manual troubleshooting charts have been included for your
convenience.
Unlike a garden tractor, lawn mower or cement mixer, all having one or two functions to perform, the truckmounted carpet cleaning plant has many functions to
perform simultaneously.
•The engine has to run at a consistent RPM.
•The vacuum has to pull air and dirty water back from cleaning site.
•The water pump provides stable pressure at proper water flow for
cleaning.
•The chemical has to be injected into the water stream at the right
concentration.
•The heating system must maintain proper heat.
•The vacuum tank must store dirty water until drained.
As you can see, it is not just a turn-key operation with one thing to worry about,
Does it start?!

Precautions
lthough this unit has been factory adjusted, it may require additional adjust-
A
ments to achieve optimum performance, for instance altitude may require
carburetor adjustment and ambient temperatures may require heat control adjustment. When required, consult an authorized representative.
!
CAUTION
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.)
!
CAUTION
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.
!
WARNING
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, vacuum and/or high pressure components.
!
CAUTION
MOVING PARTS: Never touch any part of the machine that is in motion. Severe
bodily injury may result.

!
CAUTION
ACID RINSE AGENTS: The increased demand for “clear water” rinsing results in
the need for special care when using these acid based chemicals in your equipment.
The negative side of these products is the corrosive effects the acid can have on
metals, including swivels, pumps, heat exchangers, etc.
HydraMaster will not warranty parts that have been damaged from using unprotected acid products that have obviously caused failures.
!
CAUTION
HARD WATER PROTECTION: Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent scale
build up can result in system failure and loss of warranty on affected parts. Test
the water in your immediate and surrounding areas with hard water test strips.
Assume all water obtained from wells is hard. If you are operating in a “Hard Water Area” (3.5 grains or more per gallon), use a water softening system.
!
CAUTION
FREEZE PROTECTION: There is often little warning before a cold spell. Therefore,
not protecting this equipment from freezing will result in costly down-time. Placing
an electric heater in the truck or parking the truck indoors will help to insure against
freezing, but should not be the primary method of freeze protection.
!
CAUTION
EXHAUST SYSTEM: Do not allow flammable material (i.e. oil, fuel, plastic or wood
products) to come in contact with the exhaust system.
!
WARNING
HOT SURFACES: 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 heater, engine, exhaust, etc.

MAXX 450D/470D/Diesel Page 1-7
System Operation
he MAXX heat exchanger system is a highly engineered cleaning plant designed
T
by HydraMaster Corporation. The system utilizes a dynamic heating system
comprised of three separate heat exchangers for capturing “free heat”.
The water flow is as follows:
Water is fed into the machine under tap pressure to the water box.
The water is then picked up by the high pressure pump and pressurized to the
desired level. The water then splits flow, as demanded by the technician.
The majority of the water flows to the bypass valve assembly, then back
through the blower exhaust heat exchanger, and back to the water box. The
water demanded by the technician flows from the water pump, through the
engine coolant heat exchangers, then through the engine exhaust heat
exchanger and out to the cleaning tool.
When the cleaning solution reaches a preset high temperature, it activates the
exhaust diverter valve control, which prevents the exhaust gases from entering
the exhaust heat exchanger. Once the solution temperature falls below the set
point, the exhaust diverter valve activates to allow the exhaust gases to flow back
through the exhaust heat exchanger. If the exhaust diverter valve becomes inoperable for any reason, the high pressure solenoid valve is activated to release the
heated water from the system and is directed to the recovery tank. Then cool
water enters the
system to regulate the temperature.
As there is no guess work in the manufacture of these highly advanced cleaning
plants, there must 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
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 when preparing for operation of this
equipment.

CAUTION
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.

PLACEMENT OF UNIT IN VEHICLE
There are two recommended unit placements:
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
HydraMaster Corporation
Page 29
MAXX 450D/470D/Diesel Page 1-17
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 1-3 Installation Using Tie-down Cleats
Ensure that the machine is well secured to the floor of the van with the hardware
supplied. A sudden or crash stop will cause the machine to rocket forward. Protect yourself and the machine. SECURE IT!
!
WARNING
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 blowingaway from the job site.
The manufacturer also recommends the installation of aluminum vents in the
truck roof to allow heat to escape.
!
WARNING
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.

High Altitude Operation
Preparation
o have your machine run at it’s peak performance; you may have to make adjust
ments depending on the elevation. Elevation plays a key role in how the machine
T
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 build-up in
the exhaust and heat exchanger system. The jet sizes vary per engine and elevation. Consult HydraMaster to obtain proper jet size.
Carburetor Jet- See chart below for specific jet size.
The second area that may need adjustment is the heat control system. The heat
control system is also optimized to 0-3,000 feet. At highter altitudes the boiling
point of water is lowered. In turn, this can cause the water box to boil and the
high pressure pump to cavitate. The heat control system settings will have to be
adjusted to compensate for the elevation. These settings will vary according to
elevation. Contact HydraMaster to obtain the recommended settings.
Thermal Relief Valve - Change from180°F to 165° F. Order Part No. 000-169027 - 165° F Thermal Relief Valve.
HydraMaster Corporation
Page 32
Page 1-20MAXX 450D/470D/Diesel
Diverter Valve - Machines that are equipped with a diverter valve may need adjustment after the machine has been installed.
Prior to running the machine, perform the following steps:
1)Locate the actuator connected to the
diverter valve arm which is at the top
left of the machine U-bracket, near the
rear of the machine. See Figure 1-4.
2)The actuator shaft is connected to the
diverter valve arm. Pull the actuator
shaft forward and listen to hear if the
poppet seals against the seat in the
diverter valve. Push the actuator shaft
back and listen to see if the poppet seals
against the seat in the diverter valve.
If the poppet seats in both directions, the the diverter actuator is in proper
adjustment.
If the poppet does not seat in one or both directions the valve is out of
adjustment. Perform the following steps to adjust the diverter actuator
shaft.
3)The end of the actuator shaft is threaded into the diverter arm and is
secured into position with a back-up nut. This nut must be loosened to
allow adjustment.
Figure 1-4 Actuator Location
4)Loosen the actuator back-up nut. This will allow you to rotate the
actuator shaft clockwise or counter-clockwise. Rotate the actuator shaft
one half turn at a time. Then pull the actuator shaft forward and back.
Listen to hear if the poppet seals in the seat of the diverter valve. Repeat
this step until the diverter poppet seals in both directions. See Figure 1.
5)Apply red Loctite on the thread of the actuator shaft. Re-tighten the
back-up nut.
6)Recheck the adjustment. Move the actuator shaft forward and back.
Listen to hear if the diverter poppet seals in both directions.
The diverter is now properly adjusted.

Local Water Precautions
he quality of water varies greatly. Many areas have an excess of minerals in
T
the water which results in what is commonly called “hard water.” 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. This influences the reliability
and efficiency of equipment in direct proportion to the level of hardness.
HARD WATER ADVISORY
HydraMaster recognizes that any hard water deposits which might occur within the
water system of our truckmounts is a serious problem. The precision technology of
truckmount heat exchanger systems is intolerant of any foreign material. Hard water
deposits will ultimately decrease the performance of the system and are expected to
seriously lower the reliability of the machine.
To validate a machine’s warranty, HydraMaster requires that all machines operating in
designated “Hard Water Areas” (3.5 grains or more per gallon) be fitted with a water
softening system or a properly installed magnetic-type de-scaler must be used and
maintained. Periodic de-scaling or acid-rinsing alone is not adequate in these areas.
HydraMaster does not recommend any particular type or brand, however the relative
effectiveness of some types of magnetic de-scalers or softeners may require additional periodic use of de-scaling agents.
HydraMaster also recommends, in the strongest possible terms, that machines in allareas be fitted with a water softening system for improved operation and reliability.
HydraMaster has included five hard water test strips with your machine. These can
be used to test the water in your immediate and surrounding areas as they can vary
greatly. Assume all water obtained from wells is hard.
!
CAUTION
Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent scale build up can result in system
failure and loss of warranty on affected parts.

HARD WATER AREA MAP
The following map defines areas in the United States which compromise fluid
related components such as hoses, fittings, heaters, pumps, valves and water cooled
engines. For other countries, hard water area maps can be obtained from geological
societies.
WATER SOFTENER
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. The manufacturer strongly urges the use of water softener
units in areas exceeding 3½ grains per gallon. Failure to use a water softener in
these areas will invalidate the machine’s warranty. Using a Hard Water Area map
as a reference, determine the quality of water in your area and take action immediately, if necessary.
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 to everyone in a “hard water” area.
The relatively low cost of a water softener service is more than made up for by an
increased life of machine parts, reduced chemical costs and continued cleaning
efficiency. The water softener will also increase the effectiveness of the cleaning
chemicals, therefore less chemical will be needed.
Contact a water softener distributor in your area for information on the rental of a
simple water treatment unit to carry in your truck. Be sure to change the water
softener in accordance with the capability of the softener. For example: If the
softener will treat 900 gallons of water and the machine uses an average of 30
gallons per hour, for an average of 5 hours a day, this equals 150 gallons per day.
In 6 days the machine would use 900 gallons of water. Therefore, the softener
would need to be changed every 6 working days for maximum softening.
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.
HydraMaster Corporation
Page 35
MAXX 450D/470D/Diesel Page 1-23
Waste Water Disposal Advisor (cont.)
This cleaning rinse water, recovered into your unit’s vacuum tank, contains
materials such as detergents. These must be processed before being safe for streams,
rivers and reservoirs.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EPA, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, 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 yourself with an Automatic Pump-Out System (APO). 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 makes an APO 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.
