EXTRACTION MODE SETUP
Remove water quickly and effectively from flooded
structures.
1) Connect vacuum hose to vacuum inlet.
2) Connect power cord to power supply
NOTICE:
The power cord of the HVE3000 should be
plugged into a ground-protected 230 volt outlet.
3) For automatic pumpout,
connect hose to pumpout
outlet to pump outlet and turn pump switch ON. Do not
use anything smaller than a
⅝ in. hose, and ensure
there are no kinks in the hose. For increased pumpout
performance,
see “Maximizing Pumpout Performance,”
p. 5.
NOTICE:
Before turning the pump on, attach a drain
hose and place the end in a suitable drain. Operating the
pump without a drain hose in place may cause injury.
NOTICE:
Avoid contact with water draining from the
pump outlet. Water is pressurized and may exit the unit
with force. Water may contain chemicals or
contaminants that can be a health hazard upon contact.
4) Turn on vacuum blower.
For use as truckmount extraction booster, see
“Booster Mode” below.
NOTICE: Keep truckmount outlet capped when not
in use.
EXTRACTION OPERATION TIP
Place the HVE3000 as close as possible to the end of
the hose run nearest the wand or other extraction tool.
This position will maximize the vacuum boost provided
by the unit.
TRUCKMOUNT BOOSTER SETUP
Use in conjunction with a truckmount extractor to provide
additional extraction power.
The HVE3000 has been
tested to boost vacuum on hose runs as long as 300
ft. (90 m). To maximize performance, we recommend
using the shortest runs as possible.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to operate the unit with a
truckmount producing vacuum pressures greater than 12
in. H
2
O (40.6 kPa). Doing so could damage the unit and
will void the warranty.
NOTICE:
Do not operate with water temperatures
exceeding 140° F (60° C). Doing so could damage the
unit and will void the warranty.
1) Connect vacuum hose to vacuum inlet.
2) Connect power cord.
3) Connect pumpout hose to pump outlet and turn
pump switch ON.
For maximum pumpout performance,
we recommend using the unit with a 1½ in outlet hose.
See “Maximizing pumpout performance,” right.
4) Attach vacuum hose to truckmount via vacuum
outlet.
5) Turn on vacuum blower.
TRUCKMOUNT BOOSTER OPERATION TIP
Place the HVE3000 as close as possible to the end of
the hose run nearest the wand or other extraction tool.
This position will maximize the vacuum boost provided
by the unit.
Maximizing pumpout performance
The sump pump outlet of HVE3000 is equipped with a
1½ in. barbed hose fitting for use with a 1½ in. drain
hose (hose purchased separately). Because the internal
pumpout system is plumbed with 1½ in. lines, use of a
large-diameter drain hose will help to ensure maximum
pumpout performance.
The HVE3000 may also be used with a standard garden
hose. Simply replace the 1½ in. fitting with the ¾ in.
reducer fitting supplied with your unit and attach the
garden hose.
NOTICE:
Before turning the pump on, attach a drain
hose and place the end in a suitable drain. Operating the
pump without a drain hose in place may cause injury.
NOTICE:
Avoid contact with water draining from the
pump outlet. Water is pressurized and may exit the unit
