Titan 575 Owner’s Manual - vi
1- General Information
The compact but powerful Titan™ 575 is a carefully engineered truckmount carpet
cleaning machine designed and manufactured by HydraMaster North America, Inc. A
950G Daihatsu engine powers the 575’s Tuthill 4007 Tri-Lobe vacuum blower and the
high pressure water pump, rated at 4 gpm (15 litres/minute).
The Titan 575’s innovative design features a blower/engine exhaust diverter which allows
for a non-recirculating or “dump-less” subsystem. This dump-less system, a rst in the
carpet cleaning industry, reduces the need to rell the fresh water tank or empty the
recovery tank.
Other features of the Titan 575 include:
Dual oil bath and sight glasses for enhanced blower reliability•
0 - 1,200 psi (0 - 8,274 kPa) heated for carpet and tile cleaning•
Optional 2,000 psi (13,790 kPa) pressure washing kit•
Dual tool/wand capable•
A.D.C temperature control with instant heat up to 265° F (129.4° C)•
Optional Dura Flow Automatic Pump Out (APO)•
Optional 85 gallon Fresh Water Tank Mounting Kit•

SYSTEM CONCEPT
This is how the Titan 575 works:
Incoming water enters the water box and is pressurized by the high pressure water 1.
pump. The water is heated by engine coolant in the tube and shell heat exchanger
and then by the engine and blower exhaust in the cross ow heat exchanger.
Cleaning solution is then injected into the pressurized water stream and the heated 2.
solution is delivered to the cleaning tool.
The solution is recovered by the vacuum generated by the vacuum pump and is 3.
collected in the recovery tank for proper disposal.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTICES
HydraMaster uses this WARNING symbol throughout the manual to warn of
possible injury or death.
This CAUTION symbol is used to warn of possible equipment damage.
This NOTICE symbol indicates that federal or state regulatory laws may apply,
and also emphasizes supplemental information.
1-5: General Information
Warnings and Cautions specic to the Titan 575 include the following:
During the operation of the truckmount many components are in motion. Never
touch any part of the truckmount that is in motion. Serious injury may result.
During the operation of the truckmount many surfaces will become extremely hot.
Never touch hot surfaces. Serious injury may result.
The operation of this truckmount can produce noise levels exceeding 85 decibels
to a distance of 10 ft (3.05 m). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) recommends the use of hearing protective equipment if a person is
exposed to an average of 85 decibels over an 8-hour period. Check with local
and state agencies concerning hearing conservation rules.
During the operation of the truckmount carbon monoxide and other toxic fumes
are produced. Position the vehicle so that any fumes produced will be directed
away from inhabited areas and any points of building entry (doors, windows, air
conditioning units, fans, etc.). Do not occupy the vehicle while the truckmount is
in operation. Serious injury may result.
During the operation of the truckmount, chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm are produced by the
engine exhaust.
Never operate the truckmount with a portable gas container inside the vehicle.
Doing so will increase the risk of re and explosion. Serious injury or death may
result.
Transporting a vented fuel container that presently contains, or has ever contained
in the past, a ammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster and by federal
and state regulations. Doing so will increase the risk of re and explosion. Serious
injury or death may result.
General Information: 1-6
Never smoke in or around the truckmount. Doing so will increase the risk of re
and explosion. Serious injury or death may result.
During the operation of the truckmount the exhaust system will become extremely
hot. Keep all ammable materials away from the truckmount exhaust system.
Failure to do so will increase the risk of re and explosion. Serious property
damage may result.
Never operate the truckmount when the vehicle is tilted more than 10 degrees in
any direction. Doing so will result in improper lubrication of the internal components,
and will increase the risk of serious component or engine damage.
Never perform cleaning operations when the truckmount engine is running at the
IDLE throttle position. Failure to do so will increase the risk of serious component
or engine damage.
Never operate the truckmount with the vehicle doors closed. Doing so results in
extremely high temperatures inside the vehicle and will lead to serious component
or engine damage.
Never use concentrated acids or solvents (including d-limonene) in the truckmount
water system or chemical system. Use of these products will cause serious
component damage.
Never operate the truckmount with a water hardness reading measuring 3.0 grains
per gallon (3.79 litres) or higher. Using reading than 3.0 grains per gallon (3.79
litres) will cause scale to build up inside the truckmount water system. Scale build
up causes serious component damage. Test all water prior to use and use water
softening equipment if necessary.
1-7: General Information
Never allow water to freeze inside the truckmount. Serious component damage
will occur. Perform all freeze guarding procedures outlined in this digital Owner’s
Manual.
Many vehicles have critical components mounted directly below the oor that
can easily be damaged. Before drilling holes in the oor of the vehicle inspect
the underside of the vehicle for critical components. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the vehicle.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Elevation plays a key role in how the truckmount will operate. Operation at high altitude
(above 5,000 ft [1,524 m]) may require a high-altitude carburetor jet. Use of this jet at high
altitude will improve power, reduce fuel consumption and help reduce excessive carbon
build-up in the exhaust and heat exchanger systems.
Contact the local Briggs and Stratton dealer or HydraMaster to obtain the proper jet size.
Find your local Briggs and Stratton dealer at http://vanguardengines.via.infonow.net/
locator.
LOCAL WATER PRECAUTIONS
The quality of water varies greatly. Many areas have an excess of minerals in 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 inuences the reliability and efciency 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” (3.0 grains or more per gallon [3.79 litres]) be tted with
a water softening system, or a properly installed magnetic-type descaler must be used
and maintained. Periodic descaling 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 descalers or softeners may require additional
periodic use of descaling agents.
HydraMaster also recommends, in the strongest possible terms, that machines in all areas
be tted with a water softening system for improved operation and reliability.
Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent scale build up can result in
system failure and loss of warranty on affected parts.
1-17: General Information
Hard Water Area Map
The hard water map, shown in Figure 1-1, denes hard water areas in the continental
United States which compromise uid related components such as hoses, ttings, heaters,
pumps, valves and water-cooled engines. For other countries, hard water area maps can
be obtained from geological societies.
Hard Water Map of Mainland United StatesFigure 1-1.
The map shown in Figure 1-1 is provided for general reference only. Water
hardness in your geographical location should be conrmed by testing.
General Information: 1-18
Water Softener
Cleaning efciency and equipment life is increased, chemical use decreased, and the
appearance of cleaned carpets enhanced when water softeners are incorporated in hard
water areas. HydraMaster strongly urges the use of water softener units with the Titan 575
in areas exceeding 3.0 grains per gallon.
Failure to use a water softener in these areas will invalidate the machine’s warranty.
Referring to the hard water area map shown Figure 1-1, determine the quality of water
in your area and take immediate action if the water hardness exceeds 3.0 grains per
gallon.
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 efciency. 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 charge the water softener in
accordance with the capability of the softener.
For example: If the softener will treat 900 gallons (3,406 litres) of water and the machine
uses an average of 30 gallons/hour (113.5 litres/hour), for an average of 5 hours a day,
this equals 150 gallons per day (568 litres/day). In 6 days the machine would use 900
gallons (3,406 litres) of water. Therefore, the softener would need to be charged every 6
working days for maximum softening.
1-19: General Information
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 cleaning rinse water, recovered into your unit’s vacuum tank, contains materials
such as detergents, and must be safely processed before entering streams, rivers and
reservoirs.
In most cases, an acceptable method of waste water disposal is to discharge into a
municipal sewage treatment system after rst ltering out solid material such as carpet
ber. Access to the sanitary system can be obtained through a toilet, laundry drain, RV
dump, etc. Permission should rst 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 Titan 575 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.
HydraMaster makes an APO System which can be ordered with new equipment or
installed later.
When properly congured, the systems will continuously monitor the level of waste water
and pump it out simultaneously with the cleaning operation. The hidden benet of this
process is that the technician does not have to stop his/her cleaning to empty the recovery
tank.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH EPA, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS, DO NOT DISPOSE OF
WASTE WATER INTO GUTTERS, STORM DRAINS, STREAMS, RESERVOIRS,
ETC.
The penalties for non-compliance can be serious. Always check local laws and
regulations to be sure you are in compliance.
General Information: 1-20
2 - Installation Information
Although there are many different heavy duty vehicles used for carpet cleaning equipment,
the preferable vehicle for a Titan 575 installation is a cargo van with a heavy-duty
suspension package and a 3/4 HD ton capacity. If a fresh water tank is added, a one ton
or larger capacity van is required.
Prior to installation of the Titan 575, HydraMaster recommends installing a spray-on bed
liner in the vehicle. This provides ‘metal to cushion’ mounting rather than ‘metal to metal’
and makes for an attractive van interior.
HydraMaster also recommends installing roof vents in
vehicles operated in hot weather locations. Roof vent
positions are shown in Figure 2-1. Consult your local RV
distributor about selection and/or installation of powered
roof vents.
For best results, the fan should draw air into the vehicle
which will supply cooler air to the air cleaner intake.
Roof Vents in Vehicle
Location of Figure 2-1.
HydraMaster requires a powered roof vent above the air cleaner intake and a
”cool air intake” hose if the Titan 575 is mounted on an 85 gallon (322 litre) fresh
water tank. Failure to install a powered roof vent in such a manner may result in
serious component or engine damage.
The cool air intake hose is located in the 85 Gallon Fresh Water Tank Mounting
Kit (P/N 079-125).
2-1: Installation Information
OPERATING THE TITAN 575 IN HOT WEATHER
HydraMaster recommends the following steps when operating the Titan 575 during periods
of hot weather (95º F [35º C] or higher). This will help ensure that your Titan 575 continues
to run at 100% capacity during even the hottest days.
A minimum of 9” (22.9 cm) of clearance is required on both sides of the Titan 575, 1.
when installed. Ensure that additional equipment or other materials are not stored
at the sides or on top of the Titan. Unobstructed airow around the unit is critical for
cooling the engine and other components.
For side-door vans with “barn doors”, open the doors as wide as their construction 2.
will allow. Be sure to open the doors beyond their standard “straight-out” position,
if possible, by releasing the stops and putting the doors in their fully extended
position.
Provide cross-ventilation. When possible, keeping the rear doors open while the 3.
Titan is running will substantially reduce the temperature inside the van and will
provide a path for cooling air ow. For rear-mount installations, open up the other
doors in the van.
Consider adding powered roof vents to the vehicle (if not already installed). These 4.
vents can signicantly reduce interior temperatures and will result in much cooler
operation. A powered roof vent is required when the Titan 575 is mounted on the
optional 85 Gallon Fresh Water Tank.
Run the Titan 575 in HOT mode when outdoor temperatures are high. Running the 5.
Titan in WARM mode is not “easier” on the machine. In fact, it cuts the coolant heat
exchanger out of the cleaning solution loop, in effect reducing the engine-cooling
capacity. The Titan was designed to deliver solution at the optimum temperature
to clean carpets when in the HOT mode. The WARM mode is intended for delicate
materials like upholstery.
Installation Information: 2-2
Use caution when drilling any holes through the van oor. Many vans have critical
components mounted directly below the vehicle oor that could be damaged by
a misplaced drill bit.
LOCATING THE TITAN 575 IN VEHICLE
There are two recommended entry points on the vehicle for the Titan 575 installation: the
side door or the rear doors.
Most installations are through the 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 mounting requires the unit to be slid to the right side as far as possible Although
installing the Titan 575 through the rear door partly limits working access, it does direct
the noise away from the cleaning site.
In addition, rear mounting 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). Some cleaners in colder geographical areas prefer this
placement for better traction in ice and snow. Also, it is physically easier to load the unit
into the rear door due to the height of the vehicle bed.
Figure 2-2. Recommended Location of Titan 575 in Van
Secure Installation
No matter how the unit is installed, check to see if the Titan 575 is properly secured to
the oor of the van with the hardware provided. This safety measure will ensure that the
machine will not slide inside the van. See Figure 2-2 for the correct installation.
To install the 85 gallon fresh water tank, follow the procedure outlined in the kit instructions
for P/N 000-079-125.
