4 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION:
THANK YOU: The employees and management of
HYDRO TEK SYSTEMS, INC. thank you for selecting our
products. The production and quality assurance personnel have
taken the greatest care in the assembly process to ensure that your
new Industrial Cleaning Equipment exceeds the standards set by
you, the customer, by Hydro Tek engineering and management, and
by our safety certification to U.L. 1776.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: This operator’s manual was compiled
for your benefit. By studying and following the safety, installation,
operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting information contained
within, you can look forward to many years of trouble free service
from your equipment. Every person who will operate the
equipment must read and follow the safety warning and operating
instruction sections of this owner’s manual prior to use. You are
responsible for operating the product properly and safely. You are
also responsible to follow the maintenance schedule on the back page
of this manual to keep your warranty active.
FREIGHT DAMAGE: If delivered by trucking company, please
inspect for any concealed freight damage and note this on the
paperwork from the trucking company before signing. Should you
find damage has occurred during shipping, do not return the damaged
merchandise to Hydro Tek, but file a claim immediately with the
freight carrier involved.
QUESTIONS: Help us provide you with the fastest service. Please
locate the enclosed warranty registration card and return it to Hydro
Tek to register your machine. Contact your local AUTHORIZED
HYDRO TEK SERVICE DEALER that you purchased from or call
HYDRO TEK factory and ask for technical services if problems
occur. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS
ON THIS EQUIPMENT.
GETTING STARTED: If your dealer has not prepared the machine
for startup, you may need to connect the hose to the pressure outlet
on the washer and connect the other end of the hose that swivels to
the trigger gun inlet and tighten. The water will be removed or anti-
freeze solution will be added to the pump and coil. Mobile Wash
Skids are engine powered and shipped from the factory with the fuel
tanks empty, the battery cables disconnected, the battery dry (if
included on engine powered units). Fill the battery to the fill line
with electrolyte (available at a local auto parts store), connect the
battery cables, and follow the operation instructions for starting.
Pressure Steamers are electric powered and will require an
appropriate electric outlet or disconnect box and an electric plug that
is rated for your machine’s voltage and amperage and matches to
your electrical socket. Smaller machines are equipped with a ground
fault interrupter on the electrical cord and you will need to press the
reset button after it is plugged in. (See Operating Instructions
section and enclosed page on Installation Guidelines).
