Operating instructions

SYSTEM INFORMATION 11
HYDRO TWISTER (OPTIONAL)
The Hydro Twister is a surface cleaner that
connects to a pressure washer and uses two
nozzles rotating at a high RPM within 1" of the
ground. It can clean concrete up to 10 times the
speed of an operator using a wand, and with
more consistency and less op-
erator fatigue. The Hydro
Twister can be used with up to
4000PSI, 10 gallons per minute, and up to 250ºF.
The 20" diameter Hydro Twister is designed for
use in confined areas and the 28" for large
expanses of concrete or decks. Replacement
Swivel Seal kits and instructions are available.
Most units are equipped with 2 spray nozzles.
1/8" MEG #2 nozzles are also available to
maximize performance for lower flow ma-
chines. Available models are ANT28,
ANT38, the Contractor Series ANT3C, and Convertible
ANT20.
Hose reels are available for convenient and quick storage
of both discharge and inlet hoses. To keep the
hose from unreeling, lock the drum in place and
secure the gun or the end of the hose or it may
drag on the road. If the reel begins to leak,
replace the seal kit in the swivel, or connect the
hose directly to the machine until the leak is
repaired.
Hose reel swivels are prelubricated at the
factory. Additional lubrication intervals depend on applica-
tion and frequency of use. However, a minimum for
relubrication of 40 hours is recommended. Standard Moly-
Lith grease is recommended.
Do not over Grease. Using a hand held grease gun,
dispense one pump of grease into the grease fitting. De-
press the ball bearing at the end of the grease fitting to allow
the grease and air to escape.
The high pressure hose should be completely un-
reeled before use or it can contract on the drum and
cause damage to the hose and/or hose reel. The low
pressure hose should be of sufficient quality that it will not
flatten out when reeled up, or the supply of water to the
machine will be cut off.
TRAILERS: HydroTek Trailers are designed to
match your HydroTek washer and increase productivity.
Several trailer and tank skid configurations are available.
The trailers tail light electrical connections come only with
a 4 pole flat recepticle. Because of the vast array of
different connectors, you may need to have one installed
at a trailer dealer or purchase at a local auto parts store
and install yourself. Electric brake trailers require an
electric brake controller installed in the tow vehicle.
Special maintenance and trailering considerations: Check with
local and state vehicle codes to confirm your brake
configuration is compliant. Some states require electric and/or
surge brakes on all trailers. Never tow without properly adjusted
rear view mirrors, brake actuators, or lights. Tire pressure and
wheel lug nuts must also be checked on a regular basis. Trailer
tongue weight on the tow vehicle hitch should never be under
8% of the total trailer (loaded) weight. Insufficient tongue weight
can result in "fishtailing" and loss of control of the trailer AND
tow vehicle.
