Safety
DO NOT leave the vehicle engine running while operating this unit.
Dangerous Acid, Explosive Gases! Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent acid burns, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas while being charged. To prevent a fire or explosion, charge batteries only in well ventilated areas. Keep sparks, open flames, and other sources of ignition away from the battery at all times. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Remove all jewelry when servicing batteries.
Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the ground cable terminal which could cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline vapors are present. When disconnecting the battery, ALWAYS disconnect the negative (-) terminal FIRST.
DO NOT smoke around the unit. Gas fumes may accumulate and be ignited. The battery is also extremely flammable. This will prevent possible explosions.
DO NOT damage the vehicle in any manner during installation. When routing fuel lines DO NOT place the hose in any location where damage may occur to the hose or vehicle. Avoid any contact with moving parts, areas of high temperature, brake lines, fuel lines, muffler, catalytic converter, or sharp objects.
There is no fuel solenoid shut off on this unit. Use only the provided CARB approved fuel hose for fuel lines. When traversing the vehicle floor with fuel lines, always use a bulkhead adapter. This will prevent leakage and ensure that the hose is not punctured by vehicle vibration abrasion.
Use only ProChem supplied fuel installation kits. Ensure to use the kit specific for the truckmount model and van model being used. When traversing the vehicle floor with fuel lines, always use a bulkhead adapter. This will prevent leakage and ensure that the hose is not punctured by vehicle vibration abrasion.
DO NOT exceed your vehicle's weight limit. The console with empty 60 gallon waste tank and accessories weighs approximately 710 lbs (800 lbs. if mounted on water tank). Make certain to account for any additional accessories in your weight and balance calculations. Make certain that the vehicle has the correct axle rating. This will prevent unsafe vehicle driving conditions.
We require high-back seats on all vehicles in which units are to be installed for head and neck protection.
We recommend using a metal partition between the seats and equipment.
DO NOT operate this unit without the water supply attached and turned on. The solution pump and other vital components may be seriously damaged if this unit is permitted to operate dry without water.
Keep your vehicle work area clean. Wands, stair tools, and other accessories must be securely fastened before driving the vehicle.
All high pressure hoses must be rated for 3000 PSI at 250°F. Thermoplastic hoses do not meet these specifications and should not be used. Severe burns and injury may result if the hoses do not meet these requirements.
The winterizing loop hose assembly, Part # 86260700, PRV NO. 10-805380, is for winterizing use only. If used improperly, live steam may escape from this hose, causing it to whip around. Burns or injury may result.
Make certain that you receive complete training by the distributor from whom you purchased this unit. This unit uses high pressure and temperature. Improper or irresponsible use may result in serious injury.
Do not modify this unit in any manner. Improper modification can cause severe personal injury or fatality.

Dealer Responsibility
Your distributor from whom you purchased this mobile cleaning unit is responsible for correct installation of this machine. The dealer is also responsible for initial training of your operators and maintenance personnel in proper operation and maintenance of this unit.
Vehicle Requirements
1.The unit should NOT be mounted in any motor vehicle of less than 1/2 ton capacityor 3/4 ton if equipped with one or more auxiliary fresh water tanks.
DO NOT exceed the vehicle’s axle weight limit. Include the console, full tanks, accessories, and operators in calculations.
2.If mounting in a trailer, make certain that trailer is rated for the total weight of UNIT AND TRAILER. Electric or hydraulic brakes should be provided, and a strict compliance with any State and Federal vehicle laws must be maintained.
3.The vehicle tires should have a load rating above the combined vehicle and unit weight.
4.We do not recommend using flooring materials that absorb water. This could result in rust and corrosion of the vehicle floor.
5.Padding under rubber floor mats should be removed before installing this unit.
6.We highly recommend using a drip tray under console (Part #86050370, or Part # 86050380 for units mounted on a water tank).
7.If using a trailer, console should be positioned so that it balances properly with respect to axle. Ten percent (10%) of the overall unit weight, should be on tongue.
Example: If loaded trailer weight is 2,000 lbs., tongue weight needs to be a minimum of 200 lbs. to tow properly.
Lifting Unit Onto Vehicle
Since console weighs approximately 500 lbs. pounds, we recommend using a forklift to lift unit onto vehicle. Position forks under unit from front and make CERTAIN that forks are spread to insert into frame slots.
Positioning Unit In Vehicle
Because vehicles vary in size and openings, individuals have their own preference as to where they want their units installed. We strongly recommend a side door installation for this and DO NOT recommend a rear door installation.
1.Enough space should be provided to assure adequate engine ventilation and room for service and maintenance.
2.The unit with waste tank and accessories must NOT exceed vehicle's axle weight limit. An empty 60 gallon waste tank and console weighs 710 lbs (800 lbs. if mounted on water tank).
3.DO NOT position the console closer than 12" from bottom of driver and passenger seats.
NOTE: For individuals who wish to make an engineering layout prior to positioning unit, refer to "Dimensional Data" illustrations for waste tank and console dimensions.

Bolting Down Unit And Waste Tank
NOTE: When positioning waste tank with respect to console, hook up the vacuum hose to waste tank. This will ensure that waste tank is positioned correctly. Proceed once unit and waste tank are positioned in vehicle in desired location.
Before drilling any mounting holes in vehicle floor, make certain that when drilling, you will not do any damage to fuel tank, fuel lines, or any vital component which might affect operation or safety of vehicle.
1.Using console and waste tank mounting holes as a template, drill six 13/32" diameter holes for mounting console and six more 13/32" diameter holes for mounting waste tank.
2.Using installation hardware kit:
a.Insert six 3/8-16 x 2" hex head cap screws with flat washers through mounting holes in console, and six 3/8-16 x 2" hex head cap screws with flat washers through mounting holes in waste tank.
b.Install mounting plates underneath vehicle floor.
c.Screw 3/8-16 hex head locknuts on mounting screws and tighten them until console and waste tank are firmly secured to vehicle floor.
Installation
Electrical Wiring
Ensure all electrical wiring and battery cables are free from contact with any metal edge. Engine vibration could cause metal edge to cut wiring and possibly result in a fire. Be aware of where battery cables are run.

Battery Connection
Dangerous Acid, Explosive Gases! Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent acid burns, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas while being charged. To prevent a fire or explosion, charge batteries only in well-ventilated areas. Keep sparks, open flames, and other sources of ignition away from the battery at all times. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Remove all jewelry when servicing batteries.
Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all switches are OFF. If ON, a spark will occur at the ground cable terminal which could cause an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline vapors are present. When disconnecting the battery, ALWAYS disconnect the negative (-) terminal FIRST.
1.Attach the red positive (+) battery cable from the console starter solenoid to the positive (+) terminal on the battery and tighten the holding nut.
2.Next, attach the black negative (-) battery cable from the console ground to the negative (-) terminal on the battery and tighten the holding nut.

Operations
Fuel Requirements
Use unleaded gasoline ONLY. DO NOT use any gasoline additives. We recommend the use of clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline intended for automotive use. High octane gasoline should NOT be used with the engine on this unit. These engines are NOT designed to use E-85 or Flex Fuels.
Engine Oil Requirements
Use high quality detergent 10W-30 oil of at least API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or higher.
NOTE: Using a lower service class oil or extending oil change intervals longer than recommended can cause engine damage.
NOTE: Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications may be used with oil changes performed at recommended intervals. However to allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or rebuilt engine should be operated for at least 50 hours using standard petroleum based oil before switching to synthetic oil.
Altitude Requirements
Engines perform differently with increases/decreases in altitude. Be sure to check engine speeds during initial installation. See engine speeds in Technical Specifications section.
NOTE: To ensure correct engine operation at altitudes above 1525 meters (5000 ft.), it may be necessary to have an authorized dealer install a special high altitude jet kit in the carburetor. If a high altitude kit has been installed, the engine must be reconverted to the original jet size, before it is operated at lower altitudes, or overheating and engine damage can result.
Chemical Requirements
This cleaning unit, due to its chemical injection pump design, can be used with a variety of water-diluted chemical compounds (either acidic or alkaline), depending on the job to be done. However, to obtain optimum results with this unit, we recommend using the PROCHEM line of chemicals. For information on using the cleaning compounds, refer to the chemical manual.
22 |
86317260 BLAZER GT |
Water Requirements
Hard water deposits will adversely affect the plumbing and heat exchange systems on this unit. The map below will give you an idea of where areas of high water hardness may occur. However, any water supply obtained from a well is almost always hard water and a water softener will be needed to protect your equipment.
NOTE: Equipment malfunction or component failure caused by hard water scaling is NOT covered under the warranty.
Operations
If you are operating this unit in an area where the unit will be using water in which the harness exceeds 3-1/2 grains, we highly recommend a suitable water softener be installed. If using a water softener, it must have a five (5) GPM (or greater) flow capacity without any hose constrictions.
Using a water softener will reduce maintenance and decrease down time caused by hard water scaling. It will also allow cleaning chemicals to be more effective in lower concentrations
If you require a water softener, your dealer has a model to meet your needs. Please contact your nearest distributor for information, price, and abailability.

16.WATER INLET
This quick connect allows the water supply hose to be connected to the unit.
17.VACUUM INLETS
The vacuum inlets serve as the connecting point for vacuum hoses.
18.FLOW METER
The flow meter is a gauge to indicate how much liquid chemical is being introduced in the water system. The quantity can be increased by turning the chemical flow knob counter clockwise.
19.CHEMICAL PRIME CONTROL VALVE
This valve allows the chemical to circulate through the chemical system with little or no restriction. It also purges out air that may be trapped in the lines and cavities of the chemical pump. By turning the valve clockwise the injection system is enabled.
20.CHEMICAL METERING VALVE
The chemical metering valve regulates the amount of chemical that is injected into the system. Clockwise rotation of the knob closes the valve. Counter clockwise rotation opens the valve, allowing more chemical to enter the system.

Vacuum System
The engine turning the vacuum pump generates vacuum. The air is channeled in one side of the vacuum pump, compressed and discharged on the opposite side, creating airflow.
The movement of air is used to do the work necessary for the extraction process. A vacuum nozzle applied to the carpet surface removes moisture, dirt and spent chemicals. These elements are conveyed back to a separating tank utilizing hoses and the force of air. Particles of moisture and dirt are separated in the vacuum tank using a series of changes in direction and velocity. The air is then filtered and rushes into the vacuum pump.
HOT AIR TO
HEAT EXCHANGER
Operations
The vacuum pump compresses and heats the incoming air. The hot discharged air is forced down stream into a silencer for noise abatement. After exiting the silencer, this hot air is mixed with hot air exhaust gases from the engine. This mixture of hot air and gases are then forced through 2 radiators serving as heat collectors. Heat from the engine and vacuum pump is then transferred into the plumbing system raising the water temperature for better cleaning.
The vacuum pump speed is factory set to maximize vacuum pressure and provide sustained system life. Do not alter the vacuum speed outside the recommended range shown in the Technical Specifications section.

Operations
Always wear hearing protection and proper personal protection equipment when operating unit.
Water Pumping and Heat Transfer System
Cold water enters the console through the water inlet. When the water box is full the valve will automatically shut off.
Water then flows from the water box, through the strainer, into the solution pump. The water is pumped to the pressure regulator manifold, which provides and maintains the desired pressure setting.
The pressure regulator manifold includes a pulse hose, which helps reduce pressure spikes from the pump.
A certain amount of water is by-passed from the pressure regulator due to over pumping capacity of the solution pump. Water that is not called for in the cleaning process is channeled through a copper heater core in the front of the heat exchanger box. This bypass water circulates several times through the heater core pre-warming the water.
The gases coming from the vacuum pump and the engine exhaust are forced through the second heater core creating the hottest area of the heat exchanger box, and increasing the heat transfer to the circulating water.
The hot water passes to the solution outlet manifold where cleaning chemicals are injected from the chemical pulse pump. This manifold serves as a connecting point for the high-pressure hoses. Also a check valve is located in this outlet manifold prohibiting chemicals from backing up into the system.
The cleaning solution then passes through highpressure solution hoses and is distributed by the cleaning tool to a surface that is being cleaned, completing the water pumping and heating cycle of the cleaning unit.
Heat Exchanger
The water temperature in the plumbing system is raised for better cleaning. This happens in the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is made up of two stages. These two stages are the high stage, and the pre-warming stage.
The vacuum pump heats incoming air as it is compressed. The rear core receives its heat from the mixing of the engine exhaust and the vacuum pump exhaust. This mixture of hot air and gases is then forced through the rear core and on through the front heat exchanger core.
This core becomes extremely hot and should not be touched while the machine is in operation. Allow the machine to cool down completely before attempting to service this area.
The front core continues to extract heat from the mixed gases; but, this heat is used to pre-heat the water box as a preliminary hot water reservoir.
