IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using this machine, basic precautions must always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE.
These symbols mean WARNING or CAUTION. Failure to follow warnings and cautions could result in fatality, personal injury to yourself and/or others, or property damage. Follow these instructions carefully!
Read the operator's manual before installing or starting this unit. Failure to adhere to instructions could result in severe personal injury or could be fatal.
Operate this unit and equipment only in a well-ventilated area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which is an odorless and deadly poison that can cause severe injury or fatality. DO NOT run this unit in an enclosed area. DO NOT operate this unit where the exhaust may enter any building doorway, window, vent, or opening of any type.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied buildings away from sparks or flames. Never carry any gasoline or flammable material in the vehicle. Fumes may accumulate inside the vehicle and ignite, causing an explosion.
DO NOT store any type of flammable material in the vehicle.
This unit must be operated with the vehicle or trailer doors open in order to ensure adequate engine ventilation.
DO NOT operate engine if gasoline is spilled. Avoid creating any ignition until the gasoline has been cleaned up. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
DO NOT place hands, feet, hair, or clothing near rotating or moving parts. Avoid any contact with moving parts! Rotating machinery can cause injury or fatality.
Never operate this unit without belt guards. The high speed moving parts, such as belts and pulleys, should be avoided while this unit is running. Severe injury, damage, or fatality may result.
DO NOT service this unit while it is running. The high-speed mechanical parts as well as high temperature components may result in severe injury or severed limbs.
Never touch electrical wires or components while the engine is running. They can be sources of electrical shock.
Engine components can get extremely hot from operation. To prevent severe burns, DO NOT touch these areas while the engine is running - or immediately after the engine is turned off.
DO NOT touch the exhaust system while this unit is running. Severe burns may result.
Before servicing this unit, allow it to "cool down." This will prevent burns from occurring.
Water under high pressure at high temperature can cause burns, severe personal injury, or fatality. Shut down machine, allow to cool down, and relieve system of all pressure before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, filters, and bolts.
2-1 |
EVEREST 980086 02/18/03 |
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.
DO NOT cut or splice any of the vehicle fuel lines during fuel line installation. This may result in fuel leaks and potentially dangerous conditions. There is no fuel solenoid shut off on this unit. Use only the provided abrasion resistant 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.
DO NOT exceed your vehicle's weight limit. The console with waste tank and accessories weighs approximately 1840 lbs. 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 water pump and other vital components may be seriously damaged if this unit is permitted to operate dry without water.
DO NOT operate this unit without the filter installed in the waste tank.
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 #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.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

OPERATIONS
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
NOTE: Your distributor from whom you purchased this mobile cleaning unit is responsible for the correct installation of this machine. The dealer is also responsible for initial training of your operators and maintenance personnel in the proper operation and maintenance of this unit.
1.The unit should NOT be mounted in any motor vehicle of less than 3/4 ton capacity.
The console with waste tank and accessories must NOT exceed the vehicle's axle weight limit.
2.If mounting in a trailer, make certain that the trailer is rated for the total weight of the 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 the console (Part #790552).
7.If using a trailer, the console should be positioned so that it balances properly with respect to the axle. Ten percent (10%) of the overall unit weight should be on the tongue.
Example: If loaded trailer weight is 2,000 lbs., tongue weight needs to be a minimum of
200 lbs. to tow properly.
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.
ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
Use high quality detergent oil of at least API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SF or SG. Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time of operation as shown in the following table. NOTE: Using less than service class SF or SG oil or extending oil change intervals longer than recommended can cause engine damage. The recommended SAE viscosity grade is
20W-50.
3-2 |
EVEREST 980086 04/06/04 |
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 PROCHEM chemical manual.
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.
HARD WATER MAP
OPERATIONS
If you are operating this unit in an area where the unit will be using water in which the hardness 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, PROCHEM has a model to meet your needs. Please contact your nearest distributor for information, price, and availability.

OPERATIONS
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 a strainer, into the water pump where it is pumped to the pressure regulator manifold where the pressure regulator provides and maintains the desired pressure setting.
The pressure regulator manifold includes a nitrogen charged accumulator 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 water pump. Water that is not called for in the cleaning process is channeled through a heat exchanger box into the first heater core from the front of the unit. This bypass water may circulate several times through the bypass heat exchanger allowing the water to be pre-warmed.
The next stage of heating and water flow is to the helicoil, when water is called for in the cleaning process it flows to the helicoil under pressure. Heat from the engine coolant is exchanged to the cleaning solution through a series of spiraled copper tubing. This allows the engine coolant to travel in a counter rotating direction to the cleaning water during the exchange process creating a very efficient transfer of heat out of the engine and into the cleaning solution.
The third stage of plumbing and heat exchange takes place in the 2nd heater core located in the heater box. This is the hottest point of the gases coming from the vac pump and the engine. These hot gases are forced through heater core #2 creating the third stage of heat transfer to the cleaning solution.
Finally, the hot solution passes to the outlet manifold where cleaning chemicals are injected from the chemical pulse pump. This manifold serves as a temperature sensing point and 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 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.

CHEMICAL INJECTION SYSTEM
The chemical injection system is unique in that it utilizes the pressure spikes generated by the highpressure water pump to move chemical into the main pressure stream. The high pressure spikes move the diaphragm in the chemical pulse pump forcing small amounts of liquid chemical to be moved in a single direction of flow with the aid of two check valves.
The chemical is picked up from the container and fed through the flow meter to the chemical pulse pump where it is pressurized.
After reaching the chemical pulse pump the chemicals can either go into a bypass loop to purge air from the system. The chemical can then be directed by the chemical selector valve to the metering valve. The metering valve creates an orifice allowing the correct amount of chemical to enter the outlet manifold. The outlet manifold assembly is complete with a check valve that will not allow the chemicals to travel upstream into the plumbing system of the unit.
The chemicals are then mixed with hot pressurized water that make up a solution for cleaning application.

OPERATIONS
VACUUM SYSTEM
The engine turning an air 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.
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 and gases from the engine. This mixture of hot air and gases are then forced through 3 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.

OPERATIONS
PRIMING THE CHEMICAL PUMP
1.Connect water hose to water inlet connection and turn on water supply.
2.Connect cleaning and vacuum hoses to the desired cleaning tool and console.
3.Insert chemical inlet and prime tubing into chemical container.
4.Pull out engine choke, turn solution pump switch to override, and turn ignition key to start.
5.Push in engine choke after engine has started.
6.Set throttle to low speed.
7.Fill chemical container and inspect chemical filter.
8.Turn chemical prime valve to prime and allow chemical to circulate. After all air bubbles have been removed from chemical tubing, turn the valve to the horizontal (off) position and open the chemical metering valve, and the simulation valve. Set the desired chemical flow rate while observing the flow meter indicator. Simulator valve must be in the open position to set chemical flow. When desired flow is reached turn simulator valve off.
9.Set throttle to maximum position with vacuum ports blocked off for quick unit heat up.
WASTE PUMP (OPTIONAL)
1.If your unit is equipped with an automatic waste pump, connect one end of a garden hose to the pump-out connection on the console and the other end to an appropriate waste disposal.
2.Turn the pump-out switch on the control panel to the ON position. The waste pump will operate automatically throughout the cleaning operation.
We recommend that you use a 3/4" I.D. water hose as a waste pump outlet hose. DO NOT use a hose smaller than 5/8" I.D.
NEVER use your automatic waste pump outlet hose as a water inlet hose.
NEVER dispose of waste in storm drains, water ways, or on ground areas. Always dispose of waste in accordance with Local, State, and Federal laws.
Once you have completed steps 1 through 8, proceed with the cleaning operation. Your unit should be in the correct throttle position for your cleaning operation or extracting. A float switch located inside the waste tank will automatically shut down the unit when it reaches its full capacity. When this occurs, empty the waste tank before continuing.
CLEANING
Observe the following guidelines, while cleaning:
1.Before proceeding make sure the nozzles are functioning properly.
a.To check , hold the wand about one foot above the surface to be cleaned and open the wand valve. A full spray should be observed from the cleaning nozzles.
b.If the nozzles are not showing a full spray pattern, adjust nozzles for proper pattern, clean, or replace nozzles, if required.
2.Normally chemical is applied on the push stoke of the wand when cleaning and vacuuming is done on the pull stroke. For heavily soiled carpets the wand may be used in a scrubbing manner, apply chemical in both push and pull strokes. Always finish up an area with a vacuum stroke.
3.When cleaning, keep the working opening (mouth) flat on the surface being cleaned. Keep the wand moving when the valve is open.
4.The unit will automatically shut-down when the waste tank is full. This will prevent water being drawn into the vacuum pump. If shut-down occurs, empty the waste tank before proceeding.

UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
Upholstery tool, part #78513
1.Set temperature as desired and slow down the engine speed to minimize excess heat.
2.Use one (1) “80015” spray tip in tool.
SHUTDOWN AND DAILY MAINTENANCE (LOW PRESSURE)
1.Close chemical metering valve.
2.Allow the unit to run for 2 minutes with the vacuum hose disconnected to remove moisture. Spray WD40 (or equivalent) into the vacuum lubrication cup. This will prevent corrosion due to moisture.
3.Set engine throttle at idle position and allow the water temperature to cool down, unitizing the simulator valve in the open position to bleed off residual hot water left in the system.
4.Turn off ignition switch.
5.Disconnect all hoses and tools.
6.Drain waste tank.
HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OPERATION
The high-pressure water system can produce water pressures in excess of 3000psi. Water at these pressures will cause severe injury. DO NOT direct any discharges at persons. If contact with a person does occur and penetration of the skin does seem possible, contact medical personnel immediately. This machine is to be used by trained cleaning professionals only. Ensure all operators are trained in the operation of this equipment. Keep cleaning area clear of all persons and objects.
Ensure that proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used during the operation of this equipment. Failure to use proper PPE could result in injury. Ensure required ventilation and/or breathing apparatuses are used with a chemical injection system. Check with your chemical vendor for proper safety requirements.
OPERATIONS
OPERATION
The “HP” units are equipped with a water pump and water delivery system that can support pressurewashing operations up to 4.5 gallons per minute at 3000 PSI. This system is normally used for highpressure washing and hard surface cleaning.
1.Move the temperature selection valve from the “hot” position to the “warm” position.
2.Adjust low-pressure regulator to set pressure at 100 PSI
3.Allow water temperature to cool to below 160 deg F.
4.Close ball valve located between the chemical pump and the water pump.
Failure to close this valve will result in severe damage to the chemical pump diaphragms.
5.Connect hose and pressure washer gun to high pressure disconnect.
6.Move the pressure selection valve from the “low pressure” position to the “high pressure” position.
7.Adjust high-pressure regulator to desired operational pressure.
EVEREST 980086 02/18/03 |

OPERATIONS
HIGH PRESSURE SHUTDOWN & RETURN TO LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
1.Adjust High Pressure regulator to set pressure at 400 psi.
2.Bleed off excessive pressure build-up by operating pressure washer gun for 5 seconds.
3.Move solution selector control valve from “High Pressure” operations to “Low Pressure” operations.
4.Squeeze pressure washer gun trigger again to remove any residual pressure
5.Disconnect high pressure gun and hose from high pressure disconnect.
6.Operate under normal low pressure instruction or follow normal shutdown procedures.
Pro-Chem recommends the use of the ProChem chemical injector (P/N 61-951538) for use in combination with any chemical/detergent additives.
Pro-Chem also recommends the use of ProChem high-pressure spray wands. Pro-Chem offers a basic pressure wand (P/N 60-950168) or a dual barrel wand (P/N 60-950505). Contact your Pro-Chem dealer for recommendations in your particular application. The operation of the high-pressure system also requires a high-pressure hose capable of handling the increased pressure loads of the high-pressure system. NEVER use your lowpressure system hoses with the high-pressure system. Pro-Chem offers a special high pressure hose, P/N 10-805513, rated for pressure washer activities. Only use Pro-Chem approved hoses and fittings. Ensure that your hoses and fittings are rated for your operational pressures.
DE-FLOODING OPERATIONS
De-flooding operations involve removal of water from carpet and flooring. This differs from normal cleaning operations in that no water or solution is required. An automatic waste pump-out is highly recommended for all de-flooding operations due to the large amount of water removal often required.
1.Move the temperature selection valve from the “hot” position to the “warm” position.
2.Ensure that the system is operating in lowpressure mode (HP units only). Adjust lowpressure regulator to set pressure at 100 psi.
3.Allow solution temperature to cool below 160 deg F.
4.Begin de-flooding operation.
FREEZING PROTECTION
If the unit is exposed to freezing weather the water in the unit may freeze, causing SERIOUS DAMAGE to the unit. To avoid this, the following is recommended during the cold weather season.
When the unit is not in use, always park it in a heated building.
While in operation, avoid long shutdowns as the unit provides heat while running. Shut it down just prior to leaving for the next job.
If a heated building is not available, we recommend that you winterize the unit with antifreeze. At present, it is only possible to winterize units, which do not have an auxiliary water tank. Units with auxiliary water tanks must be stored in a heated building when not in use.

WINTERIZING YOUR UNIT
1.Shut off the water supply. Disconnect the water inlet hose from the front of your console.
2.Connect all high pressure hoses and tools that may have water in them.
3.Start the unit and turn water pump on. Open the tool valve until water pressure drops and water stops flowing.
4.Fill the water box with approximately two gallons of 100% glycol base anti-freeze.
5.Turn the solution pump override switch to the override position and start the unit. Turn the solution pump switch ON.
6.Open the tool valve until anti-freeze begins to come out of the tool. Recover ALL anti-freeze that comes out of the tools into an approved container. We strongly recommend that you recycle and re-use the anti-freeze.
Repeat this procedure with all the remaining tools. After all tools and pressure hoses have been filled with anti-freeze, disconnect and store them.
7.Turn the solution pump switch OFF. Attach the winterizing loop hose with attachment, Part #10-805380, to the solution outlet connection and the water inlet connection. Turn the solution pump switch ON.
Allow the unit to run for approximately 3 minutes with the winterizing loop hose attached.
OPERATIONS
8.Prime the chemical system with 50/50 antifreeze/water mix. Insert the chemical inlet and prime discharge tubes into the anti-freeze container. Turn the chemical valve to PRIME until anti-freeze begins to flow out of the prime hose.
9.Now turn the chemical valve and flow simulator valves to the open position, making certain that the flow meter indicates flow and that all antifreeze drains out of the chemical hose into an approved container, after 30 seconds, turn off both valves.
HIGH PRESSURE
Turn solution pressure valve to high pressure and key the high pressure wand until anti-freeze begins to come out of the wand. Recover all anti-freeze into an approved container. We strongly recommend that you recycle and re-use the anti-freeze.
After completing these procedures, shut the unit down. The unit is now winterized.
EVEREST 980086 02/18/03 |
3-17 |
OPERATIONS
REMOVING ANTI-FREEZE FROM THE UNIT
1.Connect one end of the winterizing loop hose to the solution outlet connection. Place the other end of the loop hose, without the attachment, into an approved container.
2.Start the unit. Allow the anti-freeze to flow into the container until flow stops.
3.Fill the water box with fresh water and repeat step #2.
4.Connect the water inlet hose to the water inlet connection on the console. Turn the water supply on.
5.Connect all solution hoses and any tools which require purging of anti-freeze to the solution outlet connection(s).
6.Open the tool valves and drain the anti-freeze into an approved container until the flow is clear and all anti-freeze is purged from the tools and hoses.
7.Place the chemical prime hose into the approved container. Submerge the chemical inlet hose in water. Turn the chemical valve to the PRIME position until clear water comes through the prime hose, and then remove the prime hose from the container.
Turn the chemical valve to the ON (CHEMICAL) position. This will allow water to flow into the other side of the system.
Once all of the anti-freeze is removed, the unit is ready to use.
Eventually, the anti-freeze in your storage container will become diluted with water. If the anti-freeze level drops below 50% of the total, dispose of it and start with fresh 100% antifreeze.
When disposing of used anti-freeze, observe local laws and regulations. Do not drain onto the ground or into storm drainage systems.
