Heater
The solution tank needs to be filled with the pump running and primed before the heater is switched on.
Running the heater without water will damage the heater core. Allow the heater to heat up for about 5
minutes before starting to spray the tool.
The heat delivered to the tool is dependent on two factors:
• Starting temperature of the water in the tank. Hotter water will require a smaller temperature increase
from the heater to reach the maximum temperature. The water temperature in the solution tank cannot
exceed 130°F.
• Flow rate at the tool head. The lower the flow rate of the water through the heater, the more time the
water will be inside the heater. High water usage and flow rate will not allow the water enough time to be
heated and the temperature of the water delivered to the tool will be much lower. The flow rate can be
lowered by putting smaller jets in the cleaning tool and by reducing the amount of time the wand is
sprayed.
Shutdown procedures
• Turn off all switches.
• If using Auto fill, disconnect the water inlet hose from the quick-connect on the front of the machine.
• Remove any remaining water from the solution tank. Use the vacuum hose and extract water from the
solution tank through the manual fill opening.
• Disconnect the vacuum hose from the Olympus. Pull valve trigger to release pressure from the solution
hose then disconnect the solution hose from Olympus.
• Empty out waste tank and dispose in sanitary drain. Do not use the same bucket to drain the tank that
you use to fill the tank.
• Disconnect the power cords from the outlets and from the machine.
• Remove the waste tank lid and clean off float, cage and cap as needed. Spray out waste tank with fresh
water. Replace lid and empty tank.
