cleaning tool open, check the flow meter
and adjust the chemical metering valve
until the desired rate of chemical flow is
achieved.
Pressure regulator must be set below
1000 psi for chemical system to operate.
Pressures higher than 1000 psi may
damage pump diaphragm.
AUTOMATIC WASTE PUMP
1. If your unit is equipped with an optional
automatic waste pump, connect one end of the
5/8 inch or larger garden hose to the pump-out
connection and the other end to an acceptable
waste disposal.
2. Pull the APO (Automatic Pump Out)
switch located on the front of the control panel
to activate. The waste pump will now operate
automatically throughout the cleaning period.
DO NOT use an outlet hose that is smaller
than 5/8 in. I.D.
NEVER
use a waste pump hose as a water
inlet hose.
!
NEVER dispose of waste water in a storm
drain, water way or on ground areas.
Always dispose of waste in accordance with
Local, State and Federal laws.
OPERATION
After you have completed the previous steps,
proceed with the cleaning operation. Depress
the
RPM INCREASE
switch until the engine
speed reaches 1700 RPM for cleaning.
NOTE: Do not engage water pump if the
engine is running at a high RPM. Damage
to the water pump clutch may occur.
A float shut-off switch is located inside of the
waste tank. It will automatically shut down the
PTO unit if the tank reaches its full capacity.
If this occurs, empty the waste tank before
continuing.
NEVER dispose of waste water in a storm
drain, water way or on ground areas.
Always dispose of waste in accordance with
Local, State and Federal laws.
AUTOMATIC DIVERTER SYSTEM
Your VORTEX 8000Q® mobile cleaning
unit is equipped with an automatic diverter
control system. When the water reaches the
desired temperature setting set by the oil
thermostat on the front control panel, the
diverter solenoid will automatically position
the diverter valve into the muffler position.
When the water temperature drops slightly
below the desired temperature, the diverter
solenoid will automatically position the
diverter valve into the heat exchange position.
When doing flood extraction, the ENGAGE
PUMP switch should be in the OFF position.
This will signal the diverter solenoid to
position the diverter valve in the muffler
position.
CLEANING
While cleaning, observe the following
guidelines:
1. Before cleaning, ensure that the wand
nozzles are functioning properly.
A. Hold the wand approximately one foot
above the surface to be cleaned and
open the wand valve. A full even spray
should emit from the cleaning nozzles.
