HydraMaster’s Titan H2O Water Recovery System has been designed to better
accommodate the needs of water extraction, recovery and restoration professionals.
The Titan H2O features a WG 972 Kubota engine that powers a Tuthill 4007 Tri-lobe
vacuum blower. This combination produces over 400 cfm of air ow, more than enough
to extract water with one or two wands
(or other extraction tools).
HydraMaster’s reliable Dura-flow
Automatic Pump Out (APO), offered as
an option, allows you to extract water
without the need to shut down and
dispose of the recovered water.
Other features of the Titan H2O include:
Dual oil bath and sight glasses for
•
enhanced blower reliability
Dual tool/wand capable
•
In addition to the obvious performance
aspects of the Titan H2O, it delivers
maximum reliability and can be
easily serviced. All service points
are conveniently located so routine
maintenance takes only a few minutes
to perform.
HydraMaster suggests that the operator
of the machine be well acquainted with
the IICRC guidelines for flood extraction and with the various methods of carpet and
surface drying that are currently being used. It is also recommended that the machine
operator be familiar with the local municipality’s requirements for the proper disposal of
waste water.
As with any machine, it is important to use the Titan H2O correctly. Operating the machine
is simple as described in Section 3 of this Owner’s Manual. This manual also contains
installation as well as information required for proper maintenance, adjustment and
repair of the Titan H2O. Component troubleshooting guides have been included for your

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

4 - 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.

4-3: Machine Maintenance
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 H2O engine.
Machine Maintenance: 4-4
Oil Filter
Kubota engines use a Kubota oil 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.
4-5: Machine Maintenance
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 idle rpm position 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.
Machine Maintenance: 4-6
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 14” 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 at high speed with the vacuum hose
1.
disconnected in order 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.
Allow machine to run additional 2 to 5 minutes under load to ush off lubricant.
4.
Uncap the inlet(s) and run the unit for another minute to allow the blower to cool 5.
down.
Periodically
Change the oil in both ends of the blower after the initial 100 hours of use. The oil is to be
changed each 500 hours of use thereafter.
