WARRANTY – SAFETY WARNINGS GENERAL CONDITIONS: Manufacturer’s responsibility with respect to claims is limited to making the required repairs or replacements to the original retail user, and no claim of breach of warranty shall be cause for any cancellation or rescission of the contract of sale of any Hot2Go® product. Manufacturer reserves the right to change or improve the design of any of its products or illustrations without assuming any obligation to modify any product previously manufactured.
SAFETY WARNINGS 9. Transformer on burner is 20,000 volts. Disconnect battery cable before servicing burner or engine on 12-volt systems. Warning: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. FIRE PRECAUTIONS: 1. DO NOT use improper fuels or solvents in this equipment, and only fill with the correct fluids when the unit is in an OFF condition, main power is disconnected, and engine and burner are cool. 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE START UP: Read all instructions 1. CHECK PUMP OIL: Check pump oil by locating the oil view window. Depending on your pump model, fill to the red dot or to the top of the site glass window. 2. CHECK FLUID LEVELS: Check engine oil and coolant levels if unit is so equipped. (See the maintenance schedule on page 9). 3. CONNECT HOSE AND GUN ASSEMBLY. 4. CONNECT THE WATER SUPPLY & TURN WATER ON: Maintain an adequate supply of water using a ⅝” to ¾” I.D.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7. SET CHEMICAL INJECTION: If unit is equipped with inlet chemical injection, place chemical pickup tube in pre-mixed chemical solution and open chemical valve for desired chemical concentration. Rinse and close valve after use, do not use harsh chemicals through the inlet injector system. Drawing air into the chemical tube by leaving the chemical valve open will cause the pump to lose pressure and may cause pump damage.
SYSTEM INFORMATION POWER SYSTEMS: ELECTRIC MOTORS: All single phase electric motors contain a manual or automatic thermal overload, which will shut down the motor if it overheats. If the overload or starter shuts down the motor, have an electrician or an authorized Hot2Go® dealer check for electrical problems. Voltage reading under load should be +/- 10% of name plate voltage on motor. Wait for motor to cool before re-setting.
SYSTEM INFORMATION 110 to 130 Volts, (or between 59 to 63 Hz.), when the unit is under full load. If the generator voltage falls out of this range, the RPM of the engine will need to be adjusted to proper speed. If the engine cannot maintain the proper RPM, do not use the burner or any power from the generator until the engine is repaired. An AUXILIARY OUTLET is available on some mobile wash skids for running wastewater recovery systems, light, or other accessories off of the generator.
SYSTEM INFORMATION 9 pressure. Maximum inlet water temperature is 145°F. Do not restrict inlet water supply. If the pump is run dry, it can quickly overheat. The water is filtered by a garden hose adapter screen. Clean and replace as required or install a large capacity strainer to insure a clean supply of water. Direct water feed: Maintain an inlet water pressure between 25 PSI and 60 PSI using a ⅝” to ¾” I.D. hose.
SYSTEM INFORMATION DIESEL FIRED BURNER: The diesel-fired burner is a forced draft pressure-atomizing burner. Diesel fuel is sprayed out of an atomizing nozzle, mixed with air, and ignited by a high voltage spark. The flame is directed towards the coils of pipe, which in turn, heats the water flowing through it. Use clean #2 DIESEL FUEL for the burner or substitute #1 diesel, light fuel oil, or Kerosene if diesel is not available.
ACCESSORIES NOZZLES: The spray nozzle is a precisely machined orifice made of hardened stainless steel. The orifice size is matched to the output of your machine to attain the proper flow and pressure in which your machine was designed. The orifice, or hole, of the nozzle will enlarge with wear. For optimum performance, replace the spray nozzle to maintain the full output pressure of your machine.
ACCESSORIES length of your high-pressure discharge hose. Hose extensions generally come in 50’ and 100’ lengths. Specify maximum pressure and temperature of your machine when ordering. Low-pressure inlet garden hoses are available in 50’ and 100’ lengths. Premium quality, 200psi rated hoses are recommended. HOSE REELS: Hose reels are available for convenient and quick storage of both discharge and inlet hoses.
TRAILER INFORMATION TRAILERS: Hot2Go® trailers are designed and engineered to match your Hot2Go® washer and increase productivity. Several trailer and tank skid configurations are available. The trailer electrical connection comes with a 4 pole flat receptacle. Because of the vast array of different connectors, you may need to have one installed by your dealer or purchase at a local auto parts store and install yourself.
