11. Disengage the hydraulic pump from inside the
chassis by depressing the clutch pedal and operating
the PTO switch for the hydraulic pump to disengage
it.
12. Point the lance in a safe position and pull the trigger
to release any pressure inside the line. Once the
pressure is reduced to zero, you can disconnect the
extensions and lance from the hose.
13. Store the hose and lance, with extension, in the
proper location.
14. Turn "off" the remote control switch before moving
the truck.

CAUTION
Water Heater Operation
Hot water is very beneficial when cutting through frozen
material or certain soil types such as clay. The water
heater system will work in either Dig or Dump mode. To
turn on the water heater:
1. The truck must be in work mode (Remote
Control/Throttle switch on). The Remote Control SW
input LED is lit and the Remote Control output LED is
lit inside the control panel.
2. The hydraulic system PTO must be enabled. The
PTO Confirm Hyd LED is lit on the chassis module.
3. There must be water in the tanks and the Hydro-X
system configured for digging with the wand.
4. Turn the Water Heater switch on at the control panel.
The Water Heater SW LED is lit.
5. Assure the service switch at the water heater is
turned ON. The water heater thermostat should be
set for 130 deg F.
6. Turn on the water pump and adjust the speed to at
least medium speed.
7. On the pendant, turn on the heater by pressing Shift
and Heater ON buttons simultaneously.
8. Press and hold the dig wand trigger to start the water
flow. The Water Heater EN LED is lit. The Water
Heater EN signal enables the water heater relay
(RY3) which sends power to water heater. When the
Water Heater EN signal passes through the
thermostat switch and the water flow switch(s), the
water heater should fire. The heater burner will go
through an ignition sequence.
9. The water heater will now fire whenever water is
flowing through it. Releasing the trigger on the dig
lance handgun stops water flow and shuts off the
water heater burner. To turn off the water heater,
press and hold down the yellow shift button and
simultaneously press the heat OFF button on the
remote. The water heater will go through its
shutdown sequence to properly turn off the burner.
Winter Recirculation System
1. In freezing temperatures, it may be necessary to
recirculate the water through the system to avoid
freezing. To accomplish this:
2. Remove the dig lance handgun and connect the
hose to the QD fitting located next to the by-pass
valve. Make sure the by-pass valve is closed.
3. Operate the hydraulic pump PTO as described in the
"Water Lance Operation" section.
4. Then turn on the winter recirculation switch on the
control panel. Water will circulate through the entire
system both when you are traveling and when
stationary.
5. If your unit is equipped with an optional water heater,
you may turn the heater on to warm up the circulating
water. The water temperature of the circulating water
should never exceed 130° Fahrenheit (54° Celsius).
Never exceed the pressure rating of your system.
Super Products supplies systems rated at 2500 and
3000 PSI. Know which system you have. If any
questions, contact Super Products. Failure to comply
could result in personal injury or property damage.
