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 system.
Contact the local Kubota dealer or HydraMaster to obtain the proper jet size. find your
local Kubota dealer at http://www.kubotaengine.com/distributor/engine_usa.html.
1-13: 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 H2O 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: 1-14
2 - Installation Information
Although there are many different heavy duty vehicles used for water restoration
equipment, the preferable vehicle for a Titan H2O installation is a cargo van with a heavyduty suspension package and a minimum of 3/4 HD ton capacity.
Prior to installation of the Titan H2O, 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
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.
OPERaTIng THE TITan H2O In HOT WEaTHER
HydraMaster recommends the following steps when
operating the Titan H2O during periods of hot weather (95º f
[35º C] or higher). This will help ensure that your Titan H2O
continues to run at 100% capacity during even the hottest
days.
figure 2-1.
Location of Figure 2-1.
Roof Vents in Vehicle
A minimum of 9” (22.9 cm) of clearance is required on both sides of the Titan 1. H2O,
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.
2-1: Installation Information
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 H2O In VEHICLE
There are two recommended entry points on the vehicle for the Titan H2O 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 H2O 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 water restoration companies 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.
Secure Installation
No matter how the unit is installed, check to see if the Titan H2O 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.
Figure 2-2. Recommended Location of Titan H2O in Van
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 H2O is well
secured to the oor of the vehicle with the hardware supplied. Protect yourself
and the machine.
Installation Information: 2-2
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 H
O is strictly forbidden by
2
HydraMaster North America, Inc., 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.
SETTIng UP THE TITan H2O
Prior to operating the Titan H2O, adjust the vacuum relief located on the recovery tank by
capping all the vacuum inlets. The machine should be set to 14” Hg maximum.
Setting the vacuum level higher than the recommended value can result in an
increased risk of serious component damage.
2-3: 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
