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.
2-3: Installation Information
A sudden or crash stop will cause the machine to rocket forward if not properly
secured. To prevent serious personal injury, ensure that the Titan 575 is well
secured to the oor of the vehicle with the hardware supplied. Protect yourself
and the machine.
HydraMaster strongly recommends 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.
Never operate this machine with a portable gas can inside the truck. Doing so
increases the risk of a re or explosion.
Mount a re extinguisher just inside the rear or side door for emergencies.
Do not use a portable propane tank inside of the truck or van. It is dangerous and
illegal in most states.
Transporting any vented fuel container that presently holds or has ever held
a ammable liquid in a vehicle containing the Titan 575 is strictly forbidden by
HydraMaster Corporation and by federal and state regulation.
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Installation Information: 2-4
SETTING UP THE TITAN 575
Prior to operating the Titan 575, follow these steps:
Adjust the vacuum relief located on the recovery tank by capping all the vacuum 1.
inlets. The machine should be set to 12” Hg maximum.
Setting the vacuum level higher than the recommended value can result in an
increased risk of serious component damage.
The Titan 575 is shipped from the factory with antifreeze added to the solution system.
Recover this antifreeze and dispose of the recovered antifreeze as stated in the local laws
and regulations.
KEEP ANTIFREEZE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS. Drinking
antifreeze can cause death.
If required, dispose of antifreeze at facilities licensed to accept household
hazardous waste. If permitted, dispose of antifreeze in sanitary sewer systems.
Do not pour antifreeze into storm sewers, septic systems, or onto the ground.
Doing so causes health and environmental dangers.
Ensure the antifreeze is completely drained from the solution system. If any
antifreeze remains in the system, it could damage machine components and
damage fabric.
2-5: Installation Information
ORIENTATION OF FUEL PUMP
For proper fuel pump operation and fuel ow, the
vehicle’s fuel pump must be installed in a lower
position with respect to the fuel tank and in as
vertical a position as possible (outlet side up - see
Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4).
Mount the fuel pump away from sources of heat

3 - Cleaning Information
The Titan 575 has been engineered using the latest and most sophisticated technology
available to produce the nest carpet cleaning results possible. Despite this, it remains
only a tool of the carpet cleaning trade and can produce only as a good a job as the
person operating it.
HydraMaster strongly recommends attending an Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and
Restoration Certication (IICRC) approved school as soon as possible and to always
follow the IICRC guidelines when cleaning carpets or hard surfaces.
This section describes the carpet cleaning procedure in the following areas:
Precautions
Preparing the Carpet for Extraction
Rinse and Recover
Overwetting
Streaking
Cleaning Tool Tips
3-1: Cleaning Information
PRECAUTIONS
The use of some chemicals (such as concentrated acids and/or solvents) in your
truckmount can seriously damage the internal plumbing and high pressure pump.
HydraMaster strongly recommends purchasing a water softener system to prevent the
buildup of scale and hard water deposits in your truckmount.
HydraMaster recommends only the use of chemicals containing rust and corrosion
inhibitors and water softening agents to prevent chemical buildup which may lead to
component failure and warranty invalidation.
Increased demand for a neutralizing rinse results in the need for special care when using
these acid based chemicals in your truckmount The negative side of these products is the
corrosive effects the acid can have on metals, including ttings, pumps, heat exchangers,
etc.
HydraMaster’s ClearWater Rinse™ has been formulated to protect vital components.
HydraMaster will not warranty parts that have been damaged from using acid products
that have obviously caused failures.
PREPARING THE CARPET FOR EXTRACTION
Pre-vacuum the carpet
Whether you instruct the customer to pre-vacuum or you offer it as part of your service,
proper vacuuming will make your job easier with superior end results. The more time
spent removing loose particulate soil, the easier it will be to remove the oily soil stuck to
the bers.
Pretreat the carpet
This process of applying trafc lane type chemicals to the carpet (whether by sprayer or
rotary scrubber) is essential prior to extraction with your truckmount.
By applying cleaning agents to the carpet and letting them dwell 10-20 minutes prior to
rinsing, you allow the product to dissolve and emulsify the oily, sticky binders holding the
soil to the ber. This will allow more soil to be removed in one or two cleaning passes and
help prevent over-wetting.
Remember the solution coming out of your cleaning tool is only in contact with the carpet
ber for a few seconds. Relying on the rinse detergent to do the majority of the cleaning
will result in overly long dry times and excess detergent residue left in the carpet.
HydraMaster recommends the use of our pre-sprays: Fastbreak™ for residential carpet
and Blitz™ for commercial carpet needs.
Cleaning Information: 3-2
RINSE AND RECOVER
Whether you are using a wand or an RX-20™, you should clean an area approximately
3 ft. x 3 ft. (92 cm x 92 cm) with the solution valve open then immediately go over that area
with vacuum only to remove any excess moisture.
Olen ber is becoming more popular, particularly in commercial installations. The
process mentioned above can leave excessive residual moisture because olen bers
will not absorb any of the cleaning solution. You must only apply solution during the
backward stroke of the wand so it can be immediately captured by the vacuum head.
RX-20™ users should follow each pass with a dry pass. Failure to follow this procedure
will cause solution to ow to the back of the carpet along with some of the soil. This, along
with any soil imbedded in the backing, will be wicked to the surface of the bers as the
carpet dries.
HydraMaster recommends the following rinse aids: Alkaline - Hydra-Dri Powder™ or
Hydra-Clean™. Acid - ClearWater Rinse™.
OVERWETTING
Overwetting is an annoyance to all concerned. Extended drying times will leave the
customer with a negative impression of both the cleaning company and the process
used.
Several factors that will cause over-wetting include:
Too few vacuum strokes.1.
Clogged vacuum blower lter or vacuum tank lid not sealing properly.2.
Vacuum tank drain valve left partially open.3.
Obstructed, cut or kinked vacuum hoses.4.
Obstructed vacuum hoses while cleaning a heavily foam-saturated carpet (it is 5.
recommended to use a crystal type defoamer distributed evenly over the carpet).
STREAKING
Streaks in the carpet can appear in both clean or dirty areas and normally appear in
heavily soiled, light colored carpets.
Possible reasons of streaking may include:
Clogged or improperly angled spray nozzles.1.
Spray nozzles that overlap, concentrating the solution.2.
A partially clogged vacuum head.3.
Inconsistent solution temperature.4.

CLEANING TOOL TIPS
Wands
With a wand, keep cleaning strokes short, front to back, and run a “dry pass”.
After pulling the wand for a strip of 3 or 4 ft (0.9 m or 1.2 m) long with the solution trigger
activated, go back up to the top of the stroke, and make a “dry “ pass [i.e. no solution
owing]. This gives the wand a second chance to pick up the solution on the carpet.
If you do not run a dry pass, the carpet can take longer to dry, and, possibly, the pad under
the carpet can become saturated.
Be aware of the carpet seams; try to use strokes that are parallel with the seam. Avoid
pulling the want across the seam. Every stroke can peel the seam connection and pull
the carpet off the oor.
Also, tilt the wand handle down [head up] to move the tool forward, and away from you,
on the carpet. This means less pull on the carpet and less work for you.
Cleaning Information: 3-4
3-5: Cleaning Information
Rotary Tool: RX-20
Rotary tools are easier to move on the carpet, but harder to control at rst. With a rotary
tool, remember to keep strokes short and side-to-side.
Before turning on the RX-20, adjust the handle; it should rest right below or even with the
bottom of your pants’ front pockets, with the tool resting at on the oor. Take your time
in adjusting the tool’s height; make sure the head of the tool is at with the oor while you
are holding the handle. Relax your posture; the more difcult it is to hold the tool’s head
at on the oor surface, the more quickly you will tire.
While the tool is running, control the left and right movements of the tool by tilting the head
to the front and back, and lifting the handles up and pushing the handles down. The tool
can be driven to the forward and backward by tilting the head of the unit to the left and
right. The head must be turning to use the self driving feature of the tool, and only requires
a slight bit of pressure to handles to get the head to move the tool across the oor.
As with the wand, drying times will be improved if you run a dry pass between wet passes.
Hold down the solution trigger and move the unit left or right across the oor 3 or 4 ft, then
immediately back across the same pass, without the solution owing, to make the dry
pass. Make the next pass half-overlapping the previous pass.
Use the RX-20 in very heavily trafcked areas or if it has been a long time since the carpet
has been cleaned. Beware of the seam edges of carpets and transition edges between
oor surfaces. Use extreme caution when cleaning these areas.
Sometimes it is necessary to use an edge tool or wand to run the perimeter of the room
on in difcult-to-reach areas where the circular head of the rotary units will not reach.
Cleaning Information: 3-6
Upholstery Tool: DriMaster
Use the upholstery tool on small rugs and furniture. When you clean rugs, be sure that the
temperature and chemicals are safe for that particular type of rug.
As with the larger tools, do not leave the surface of the upholstery too wet. Adjust the
volume of water on the tool without it touching any surface: the water should just barely
come out of the tool before the vacuum pulls it back in. The water will only just spray the
top layer of the furniture and the vacuum will pull the dirty water back into the tool.
If you nd it necessary to do a dry pass, keep strokes short to limit the amount of water
that comes into contact with the fabric surface.

5 - Machine Maintenance
To avoid costly repairs and downtime, it is imperative to develop and practice good
maintenance procedures. These procedures fall into daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly
increments and are outlined below. All maintenance must be performed by qualied
service personnel.
A maintenance log, provided in the Owner’s Guide, must be correctly and completely lled
out. HydraMaster may request to inspect the logs before a warranty claim is honored.
It is recommended that the log be afxed to the vehicle door near the truckmount for
convenience and to serve as a maintenance reminder.

OVERALL MACHINE MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, troubleshooting and repair are much easier tasks to accomplish on a clean
truckmount. Regular cleaning of the truckmount offers the user an opportunity to visually
inspect all facets of the truckmount and spot potential problems before they occur. In
addition to the operational maintenance the following “housekeeping” duties should be
performed.
After each job
Check the recovery tank and the recovery tank lters. Empty and clean as •
necessary.
Daily
Wipe the truckmount down thoroughly with a damp cloth. •
Wipe down the vacuum and high pressure hoses as needed.•
Inspect and clean the vacuum slot on the cleaning wand.•
Check the wand head for sharp edges that could tear carpet. File down as needed.•
Clean the wand to maintain original appearance.•

leaking ttings at valve.
Thoroughly clean the vacuum and high pressure hoses including quick releases and •
cuffs.
Machine Maintenance: 5-4
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Level Check
The engine oil level should be checked daily. It is recommended that the oil be checked
just before the engine is started for the rst time for that day. The oil level should be
between the ‘Add’ and the ‘Full’ marks on the dipstick.
Do not operate the engine with the oil level below the bottom of the ‘Add’ mark on
the dipstick, or above the top of the ‘Full’ mark.
Adding Engine Oil
It is normal to add some oil in the period of time between oil changes. The amount will
vary with the severity of operation. When adding or replacing engine oil, be sure the oil
meets or exceeds the recommended specication.
Changing Engine Oil and Filter
The engine oil and lter must be changed every 100 hours or every 3 months whichever
occurs rst. The oil and lter should be changed more often if the engine is operating in
dusty or extremely dirty areas, or during cold weather.
Engine Oil Quality
To achieve proper engine performance and durability, it is important that you use only
engine lubricating oils of the correct quality in your engine. Proper quality oils also provide
maximum efciency for crankcase ventilation systems, which reduces pollution.
Use only engine oils displaying the American Petroleum Institute (API) “starburst”
certication mark ‘FOR GASOLINE ENGINES’ on the container.
Engine Oil Recommendation
While multi-viscosity oils are generally recommended, SAE 5W-30 synthetic is specically
recommended year round for your Titan 575 engine.
5-5: Machine Maintenance
Oil Filter
Daihatsu engines use a Daihatsu oil lter or a Briggs and Stratton lter. An equivalent or
better oil lter must be used when servicing the engine.
To replace the lter, use a proper lter wrench to remove the lter.
Clean the lter mounting base and lightly coat the gasket surface of the new lter with
engine oil. Hand tighten the lter until the gasket contacts the base, then tighten another
½ turn. Fill the engine with the correct amount of oil, run the engine and check for oil leaks
at the drain plug and oil lter gasket.
Spark Plugs
Always use the recommended spark plugs for your engine. Hotter or colder plugs, or similar
plugs that are not exact equivalents to the recommended plugs, can cause permanent
engine damage, reduce the engines useful life, and cause many other problems such as
hard starting, spark knock and run-on. Installing new spark plugs regularly is one of the
best ways to keep your engine at peak performance.
Cooling System
Coolant Level
Check the coolant level in the coolant overow reservoir daily. Generally a good time to
do this is just prior to starting the engine for the rst time each day.
Maintain the coolant level in the radiator at ¾ “ (19 mm) below the ller neck seat of the
radiator when the coolant is cold. When the coolant level is checked, inspect the condition
of the radiator caps rubber seal. Make sure it is clean and free of any dirt particles which
would keep it from seating on the ller neck seat. Rinse off with clean water if necessary.
Also make sure that the ller neck seat is free of any dirt particles.
Never remove the radiator cap under any condition while the engine is operating.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the cooling system,
engine, or cause personal injury. DO NOT add coolant to any engine that has
overheated until the engine cools.
The engine manufacture recommends the cooling system to be lled with a 50/50 mixture
of antifreeze and water.
Machine Maintenance: 5-6
Always maintain a 50% solution of phosphate-free antifreeze at all times for
adequate heat dissipation, lubrication and protection from freezing. Major brands
are typically low phosphate or phosphate free, and will be labeled accordingly
on the container. It is recommended that you consult the technical data sheet
for the brand of coolant you are using to determine if it meets the low phosphate
requirement. Failure to use a 50% solution of phosphate-free antifreeze may
result in corrosion of the cooling system.
Bleeding Air from Cooling System
It is necessary to remove all of the air from the engine to prevent overheating. If the coolant
has been drained for any reason, it will be necessary to follow the bleed procedure.
When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap. Fill the radiator until it is to the top of
the ller neck. Start the engine and run in the low rpm position, pump clutch off, and no
vacuum load. Allow the engine coolant to heat up and open the thermostat several times.
As all the air is removed from the system, the level of the radiator should lower below the
internal tubes.This process should take approximately 5 - 10 minutes. Top off the coolant
and install the cap. In the event you experience a coolant shutdown due to overheat,
allow the machine to cool down and repeat this procedure.
Radiator
Inspect the exterior of the radiator for obstructions. Remove all debris with a soft brush or
cloth. Use care to avoid damaging the core ns.
Fuel Filter
The fuel lter is located between the fuel pump and the fuel tank underneath the vehicle.
5-7: Machine Maintenance
HIGH PRESSURE PUMP MAINTENANCE
Daily
Check the oil level and the condition of the oil. The oil level should be up to the center of
the sight glass on the side or rear of the pump or between the “MIN” and “MAX” lines on
the dipstick. The dipstick may be found by removing the oil cap.
Periodically
Change the oil after the initial 50 hours of operation and every 500 hours after that. It may
be necessary to replace the pump seals and check valves at 500 hours if the truckmount
has been running in high ambient temperatures.
Refer to the Pump Servicing Section in the following page for more information.
If the oil becomes discolored or contaminated one of the oil seals may be damaged.
Do not operate the pump if the crankcase oil has become contaminated. Do not
rotate the drive shaft without oil in the crankcase reservoir.
The pump should never be run dry. Running the pump dry will cause premature
wear on the seals, packing and plungers. Running the pump dry for a prolonged
period of time may cause damage that cannot be repaired and voids warranty.
Do not run the pump with frozen water in the manifold. If there is a risk of freezing,
freeze guard the truckmount. See the Freeze Guarding section on page 5-19 of
this manual.

VACUUM SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The vacuum pump in this machine is commonly referred to as a “rotary positive
displacement blower” or “blower” for short. The performance and life of the truckmount is
greatly dependent on the care and proper maintenance it receives. The manual for the
blower has been included. Review the manual for a better understanding of this piece of
machinery.
To protect the 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.
Solid objects entering the blower will cause serious damage to the internal
components of the blower. Extreme caution should be used when the truckmount is
being run for test purposes with the inlet to the blower open to the atmosphere.
Foam passing through the blower can lead to serious problems with the truckmount.
It is important to keep the vacuum tank free of foam. The tank is protected from
overowing by a oat kill switch; however, this switch is not activated by foam.
Daily
At the end of each day the internal components of the blower need to be lubricated. This
helps to prevent rust deposits and prolongs the life of the truckmount.
To lubricate the blower:
Allow the unit to run for a few minutes with the vacuum hose disconnected in order 1.
to remove moisture from the blower.
Cap off the inlet(s) to the vacuum tank.2.
Spray a HydraMaster-recommended spray lubricant into the “BLOWER LUBE 3.
PORT” for about 5 to 10 seconds while the unit is running.
Uncap the inlet(s) and run the unit for another minute to allow the blower to cool 4.

DESCALING PROCEDURE (REQUIRED)
Scale deposits on the interior of the heating system can cause a noticeable loss in
heating performance. Deposits of this kind result from hard water. The frequency with
which descaling procedures are required will vary. If the area has particularly hard water,
you may have to descale often.
To descale the system, add an appropriate descaler chemical to the water box. Circulate
it through the system. Let it stand. Flush and repeat as necessary. Clean all screens and
strainers, and check them frequently following descaling.
If using TM DeScaler™ through the ow meter, make sure to run clean water through the
ow meter after this procedure.
To descale using the recirculation kit (P/N 000-078-058), start with an empty water box.
Fill a third of the water box with TM DeScaler™. Follow the recommendations on the TM
DeScaler™ label for proportions. Verify that the oat is not lying horizontal, but oats
below.
Attach the recirculation tting provided in the kit to the garden hose quick connect (see
Figure 5-19) and this combination to the front of the truckmount.
Attach one section of the solution hose to the outgoing solution tting on the front of the
truckmount and the other end to the garden hose and recirculation tting combination
that is attached to the front of the truckmount. Additional hoses may be attached inline if
descaling of hoses is needed.
Start the truckmount and allow it to run for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not leave the TM DeScaler™
solution in the system. Flush the system with clean water and turn the truckmount
“OFF.”

FREEZE GUARDING
To avoid permanent damage to the truckmount, it is imperative to follow the Freeze Guard
Procedure whenever the possibility of freezing temperatures exists.
When disposing of antifreeze, follow local laws and regulations. Do not discard
into storm sewers, septic systems or onto the ground.
Antifreeze is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Do not store in open or unlabeled
containers. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Freeze Guard Procedure
With the truckmount turned off and the incoming water line disconnected, open 1.
the water box drain valve on the front of the truckmount. Allow the system to fully
drain.
Add 2 gallons (7.57 litres) of 50/50 antifreeze and water mix to the water box.2.
Attach a section of solution hose to the outgoing solution tting on the front of the 3.
machine. Attach the opposite end to the recirculation tting. (If more sections of
hose are to be freeze guarded attach those inline.)
Start the truckmount and allow it to run for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the HEAT SELECTOR 4.
VALVE to “HOT” for 1 minute and then to “WARM” for 1 minute. This will distribute
antifreeze solution throughout the truckmount.
Remove the chemical feed line from the chemical jug. Turn the SELECTOR VALVE 5.
to “PRIME.” This will vacuum the chemical remaining in the lines to the recovery
tank.
When using the recirculation kit, skip ahead to Step 7.
Remove the quick connect tting from the garden hose. Attach the quick connect to 6.
the machine. Using a vacuum hose attached to the recovery tank, vacuum the water
out of the quick connect. This will freeze guard the feed line to the water box.
7. Remove the quick connect from the truckmount.
Spray the antifreeze and water mix out of the truckmount and into a container to 8.
reclaim the solution. Run the solution until it stops.
The truckmount is now freeze guarded. Remember to ush antifreeze from the 9.
system prior to carpet cleaning. See the following procedure.
5-19: Machine Maintenance
The reclaimed antifreeze solution may be used three times before being
discarded.
To freeze guard the hoses and wand, perform Step 7 in the preceding procedure
with the items to be freeze guarded attached.
Always check the freezing level of your reclaimed antifreeze with a glycol tester
before reusing. Failure to do so may result in serious component damage.
Recovering Antifreeze for Re-Use
Attach all hoses and wands which have been freeze guarded to the truckmount.1.
Attach the incoming water source to the front of the truckmount.2.
Start the truckmount.3.
Spray the solution through the hoses and wands into a sealable container until all 4.
signs of antifreeze are gone.
Freeze Protection of the Pump-In System
Drain the fresh water tank.1.
Remove the garden hose adapter from the pump-in pump hose and position the 2.
hose so it is pointing outside the van.
Turn on the pump-in pump and run for 1 - 2 minutes until all the water is purged from 3.
the hose.
The next time the truckmount is used, it may take a few minutes before the water
box begins to ll.

6 - Water and Chemical
System
This section describes the Titan 575’s water and chemical systems, and includes the
exhaust subsystem.
Parts of the text are also included in the section’s annotated illustrations which are
referenced in the following paragraphs (see Figure 6-1 – Figure 6-6).
The process starts when fresh water is brought through the front of the truckmount 1.
into the water box, as indicated in Figure 6-1. The level of water in the box is
maintained by the use of a oat valve. The water is then gravity-fed to the pump
where it is pressurized.
Next, the pressurized water enters the bypass valve. This valve allows manual 2.
adjustment of the pressure level. When the valve at the wand is closed, all the water
in the system is recirculated to the water box. When solution is being used at the
wand, the necessary amount of high pressure water passes through the bypass
valve and to the heat exchanger (see Figure 6-1).
In the tube and shell heat exchanger, the temperature is raised. The heat necessary 3.
to do this is provided by the engine coolant. Heated water then travels to the blower
heat exchanger. In this heat exchanger, the temperature of the water is raised once
again. The heat necessary to do this is provided by both the engine and blower
exhausts (see Figure 6-6). The heated water nally travels to the high pressure
manifold (see Figure 6-1).
The high pressure manifold houses both the temperature sensor for the
temperature gauge and the high temperature shutdown switch. This innovative,
revolutionary system does not require a recirculation orice or lter to maintain
temperature within the heating system.
When water is not owing through the cleaning tool, the water within the heat exchange
system stops circulating completely.
6-1: Water and Chemical Systems
Water temperature is controlled via a temperature sensor inside the heat exchanger.
When the system achieves the maximum operating temperature, the diverter valve will
“divert” all heat away from the heat exchanger which allows the system to control its
internal temperature without dumping water.
This saves valuable space in the recovery tank, which can be used instead for recovery
of dirty water from the cleaning surface.
Water that is recirculated through the pressure regulator back to the water box 4.
travels past a thermovalve. This thermovalve monitors the water box temperature.
When the controller senses the water in the water box has reached its set point, it
opens the low pressure thermovalve on the side of the water box and closes once
the temperature drops back below the set point (see Figure 6-2).
The water that is being called for by the wand then exits the manifold and passes 5.
through a check valve (see Figure 6-2).
Finally, the water joins the chemical where the solution is created (see 6. Figure 6-2)
The chemical is pressurized by the HydraMaster diaphragm chemical pump attached 7.
to the head of the water pump. This pump pulls the chemical from the chemical, or
soap, jug through the chemical ow meter (see Figure 6-3).
After being pressurized, the chemical travels through the metering valve and 8.
is injected into the high pressure stream. This solution then exits the front of the
truckmount and is delivered to the cleaning tool (see Figure 6-3).

temperature.
When the controller senses the water in the water
box has reached its set point, it opens the low
pressure thermovalve on the side of the
water box and closes once the temperature drops
back below the set point.

chemical pump attached to the head of the
water pump. This pump pulls the chemical
from the chemical jug, or soap jug, through
the chemical ow meter.
