PLACEMENT OF UNIT IN VEHICLE
There are two recommended unit placements:
SIDE DOOR:
Most installations are 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 DOOR:
Although this location partly limits working access, it does direct the noise away from
the cleaning site. Some cleaners in the colder areas prefer this location because it
puts the weight over the rear wheels for better traction in ice and snow. Rear mount-
ing requires the unit to be slid to the right side as far as possible.
This 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). Also, it is physically easier to load the unit into the rear door due
to the height of the van bed.
