Vehicle Preparation
hen selecting a truck, remember the preferable vehicle for a SpitFire 3.2 instal-
lation is a cargo van with a heavy-duty suspension package and a three quarter ton
W
capacity, or a larger box truck type vehicle.
VAN PREPARATION
The manufacturer recommends the installation of a spray-on bed liner in the vehicle
prior to installation of machine.
!
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.
This provides ‘metal to cushion’ mounting rather than ‘metal to metal’, provides
insulation and makes an attractive van interior. Astroturf should be color-keyed to
the van interior. It is highly recommended to install roof vents in vehicles operated in
hot weather conditions. Roof vent positions are shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1 Roof Vent Locations

SpitFire 3.2 Section 1-15
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
Section 1-16 SpitFire 3.2
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 blowing away
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.
HydraMaster Corporation
SpitFire 3.2 Section 1-17
!
WARNING
Do not use a portable propane tank inside of the truck or van. It is dangerous
and illegal in most states.
!
WARNING
Transportation in a vehicle of any vented fuel container that presently holds or
has ever held a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by Steamatic, Inc. and by
federal and state regulation.
!
WARNING
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause canser, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
