• Extension cords must be 12/3 and no longer than 50 feet. Replace the cord or unplug immediately if
the ground prong becomes damaged.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes, or
any health endangering dusts. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
• Liquid pumped out could be dangerous because of temperature, pressure, or chemical content.
• Do not let the pump run dry. If you run out of water, turn the machine off and refill.
INSPECTION:
Carefully unpack and inspect your HSC 585-MULTI for shipping damage. Each machine is tested
and inspected before shipping. Any shipping damage incurred is the responsibility of the carrier.
You should notify the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box or to the machine or
parts.
CLEANING SOLUTIONS:
Select a proper pre-spray for the surface to be cleaned, and apply the pre-spra y. Use a neutral
pH rinse or detergent (6 to 9 pH) in the HSC 585 to prevent premature wear of the pump, seals
and other components. Powdered chemicals are not recommended.
MAINTENANCE:
For optimum performance, flush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day.
Once a month, minimum, run a flushing compound through the machine to break up any
mineral or chemical build-up that may have formed in the lines, the pumps, or the heater.
The vacuum motor, pump motor, and the pump do not require any scheduled maintenance;
however, the vacuum motors may require replacement brushes after 1000 - 1500 hours, and the
high pressure pump and unloader valve may require rebuild kits after 500 -1000 hours (refer to
machine part list for numbers). Clean the body with an all purpose detergent, and protect it with
an automobile interior polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an allpurpose silicone spray.
NOTE: to remove the complete reel with hoses from the machine, pull the vacuum hose loose
from the hose barb on the front of the tank, and push the short piece of vacuum hose into the
center of the hose spool. Disconnect the solution hose quick coupling. Grasp the spool from either
side, and lift it off the machine.
NOTE: before servicing any component in the base cabinet, remove the hoses and spool before
opening the tanks.

REFER TO THE DIAGRAMS ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE
CAUTION
: Never leave the 85 bar pump running if you are not actively using it
CAUTION: IF FOAM OR WATER COMES OUT THE VACUUM EXHAUST,
TURN THE MACHINE OFF IMMEDIATELY
HIGH PRESSURE WASHER
1 Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness. Make
sure hoses are in good condition and the spray nozzle(s) is tight.
REFER TO THE AUTO-FILL AND AUTO-DUMP INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES.
2. If you choose to use the automatic pump-out feature, connect the dump hose to the brass hose fitting
on the back of the machine, and place the open end of the hose in a drain. Make sure the drain hose
on the back of the vacuum tank is closed, and the lid is tight on the recovery tank. NOTE: never turn
ON the automatic pump-out switch unless you have removed the brass cap from the hose connector on
the rear of the machine. This pump will run continuously if it is turned on, and if the water can not be
pumped out (cap still screwed on) damage may occur to the pump.
If you choose not to use the auto pump-out option, just make sure the brass cap is on the hose
connector on the rear of the machine. CAUTION: do not turn the pump-out switch on if the cap is still
on the hose connector on the back of the machine.
3 . If you choose to use the auto-fill feature, connect the fill-hose to the auto-fill valve (located over the
solution tank fill hole). Turn on the water source. NOTE: do not turn the water on full power. The water
flowing into the auto-fill system does not need a lot of pressure behind it. Allow the tank to fill with
solution. When you use the auto-fill system, the auto-fill valve will automatically turn on and turn off as
the tank empties and then fills. NOTE: If you are not going to use the auto-fill system, just fill the
tank with water and cleaning chemical. Follow chemical directions regarding dilution and mixing. Do not
use harsh chemicals; they may damage seals in pumps and valves, and cause the pump to wear
prematurely. NOTE: Never put water in the tank with a temerature exceeding 54
°
C/130 °F.
4 . Pre-spray the area to be cleaned with a pump-up sprayer. Follow chemical directions.
5 . Plug in the power cord. Turn on the high pressure pump by placing the HIGH PRESSURE/HEAT selection
switch (2) in the UP position, to select the High Pressure Pump. NOTE: The high pressure pump and
the heat can not operate at the same time. NOTE: this switch is off when it is set to the middle
position and neither the high pressure pump nor the heater is selected.
6 . The 85 bar pump is not self-priming; you will need to prime the high pressure pump using the ‘power
prime’ system: turn on both the pump and the vacuum, cover the hole in the hose barb with your
hand, then depress the Power Prime Pedal. This will pull trapped air out of the pump and into the
recovery tank
, priming the pump. You will notice a ‘tone’ change in the pump (smoother, with less of a
rattle), and the water being pulled into the recovery tank will change from a white, full of air stream of
continue on next page
HIGH PRESSURE continued
water to a clear, solid stream. Priming may take 20 - 60 seconds, or even longer sometimes, and it will
require a
pump and the vacuum. Then press the Power Prime Pedal once again, for a moment,
full solution tank. When the pump is primed, let off the Power Prime Pedal, and turn off the
to release the line
pressure; you will hear a ‘swoosh’ of air as the back pressure in the lines is released. The pump will need
to be primed anytime air gets into it -- try not to let the pump run dry. Proceed to the next step.
7. Add defoamer to the recovery tank.
8 . Attach the solution spray hose to the solution quick disconnect. Attach the vacuum hose to the hose
barb on the front of the recovery tank. Pull the hoses out from the reel. Attach the other ends of the
hoses to the cleaning tool.
9. If you choose to use the automatic pump-out feature, MAKE SURE THE CAP IS REMOVED FROM THE
HOSE CONNECTION ON THE BACK OF THE MACHINE BEFORE YOU TURN THE SWITCH ON. This
pump will run continuously once you turn it on, and if it tries to pump out water, but the cap is still on the
hose fitting, the pump may be damaged.
10. Turn on the vacuum (3) and turn on the dump pump (if you chose to use this feature) (5). Begin
spraying. If you are not using the auto-fill or auto-dump features, turn off the pump and vacuum when
the solution tank gets low; fill the solution tank, and empty and clean the recovery tank. If you use the
auto-fill and/or auto-dump features, you will not need to stop working to fill and/or empty your tanks.
11 . When the job is finished, turn off the automatic pump-out pump turn and turn off the water source, if
they were employed. Use the vacuum hose to suck the remaining solution from the holding tank into the
recovery tank.
13 . Run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Completely empty the recovery tank by placing the
drain hose over a floor drain, toilet, or tub, and removing the cap. You can clean the tank at this time with
clean water. When the tank is empty, cap the drain hose and place it back in the hook and loop holder.
Disconnect the hoses from the cleaning tool, and reel them up onto the hose spool.
14 . Unplug the power cord. Clean the machine and the tool.
LOW PRESSURE AND HEAT
CAUTION: if foam or water comes out the vacuum exhaust, turn
the machine off immediately
1 Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness. Make
sure hoses are in good condition and the spray nozzle(s) is tight.
REFER TO THE AUTO-FILL AND AUTO-DUMP INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE
2. If you choose to use the automatic pump-out feature, connect the dump hose to brass hose fitting on
the back of the machine, and place the open end of the hose in a drain. NOTE: NEVER TURN ON THE
PUMP OUT PUMP UNTIL YOU HAVE REMOVED THE CAP FROM THE HOSE CONNECTOR ON THE REAR
OF THE MACHINE. Make sure the drain hose on the back of the vacuum tank is closed and the lid is tight
on the recovery tank. If you are not going to use the auto pump-out option, just make sure the brass
cap is on the hose connector on the rear of the machine.

3 . If you choose to use the auto-fill feature, connect the fill-hose to the hose connection over the solution
tank fill hole. Turn on the water source, and allow the tank to fill with solution. NOTE: do not turn the
water on to full pressure; water flowing into the auto-fill system does not need a lot of pressure behind it.
If you choose not to use the auto-fill system, just fill the tank with water and cleaning chemical. Follow
chemical directions regarding dilution and mixing. Do not use harsh chemicals as they may damage seals
in pumps and valves, and cause the pump to wear prematurely. NOTE: using warm water in the tank
may improve the efficiency of the heat exchanger when cleaning with heat, but never use water with a
temperature exceeding 54
°
C/130 °F.
4. Select ‘HEAT” by moving the HEAT/HIGH PRESSURE switch towards the thermometer symbol. NOTE:
this switch is off when it is set to the middle position and neither the high-pressure pump nor the heater is
selected. When set to the bottom position, the heat is selected; the red light will come on and stay on.
The heater and the high-pressure pump can not operate at the same time.
5 . Plug in the power cord.
6 . Press the ‘power prime’ pedal (located on the rear, lower left of the machine) for a moment to release
any back pressure in the pump lines.
7. Connect the solution hose to the quick disconnect on the short hose from the 7 bar pump on the front
of the base, and connect the vacuum hose to the hose barb on the top, left of the recovery tank.
Connect the other ends of both hoses to the cleaning tool.
8 . Turn on the 7 bar “demand” pump (4). NOTE: the ‘demand’ pump will not run until pressure is
released.
9 . Spray for a few seconds to fill the lines with solution. Wait two minutes to allow the heater to reach
temperature.
10. Begin cleaning. It may take several cycles to heat the lines and the cleaning tool.
11 .If you are not using the auto-fill or auto-dump features, turn off the pump and the vacuum when the
solution tank gets low. Fill the solution tank, and empty and clean the recovery tank. If you are using
the automatic features, your machine will empty and fill itself -- no need for you to stop working.
12 . When finished with the job, turn off the water source, if using the auto-fill feature. Remove the auto-fill
hose from the hose connection on the machine. Vacuum the remaining solution from the solution holding
tank into the recovery tank. Run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Drain the
recovery tank by placing the drain hose over a floor drain, toilet, or tub and removing the cap. You can
clean the tank at this time with clean water. When the tank is empty, cap the drain hose and place it
back in the hook and loop holder. Disconnect the hoses from the cleaning tool, and reel them up onto the
hose spool.
13 .Unplug the power cords. Clean and dry the machine and the tool.
DANGER: always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet(s) before
cleaning or maintaining.
NOTE: before servicing any component in the base cabinet, remove the hoses and spool
before opening the tanks. Refer to the instruction on page 3.
USING THE AUTOMATIC-FILL AND/OR AUTOMATIC-DUMP
AUTOMATIC-FILL INSTRUCTIONS
Operation:
1. Attach a garden hose to the auto-fill hose connection above the holding tank fill hole, and connect the
other end of the hose to your water source.
2. Make sure the float that hangs into the solution tank from the auto-fill valve is free of obstruction and
can move freely.
3. Turn on the water supply. Do NOT turn the water on full pressure. This system does not require a
high presssure water source. Just turn the water on.
4. The float for the automatic fill will shut-off the flow of incoming water when the tank is nearly full, and
it will allow the valve to open again once the water level has dropped to a predetermined level.
