    Hard Water Advisory HydraMaster recognizes that any hard water deposits which might occur within the water system of our truckmounts is a serious problem. The precision technology of truckmount heat exchanger systems is intolerant of any foreign material. Hard water deposits will ultimately decrease the performance of the system and are expected to seriously lower the reliability of the machine.

  • Page 17 Cleaning efficiency and equipment life is increased, chemical use decreased, and the appearance of cleaned carpets enhanced when water softeners are incorporated in hard water areas. HydraMaster strongly urges the use of water softener units with the Titan 425 in areas exceeding 3.0 grains per gallon.
  • Page 18 Another solution to the disposal problem is to equip your Titan 425 with an Automatic Wastewater Disposal System (AWDS). These systems are designed to remove waste water from the extractor’s recovery system and actively pump the water through hoses to a suitable disposal drain.

  • Page 21: Start-Up Procedure

    After the engine starts, allow the truckmount to run in “IDLE ” for 2 - 3 minutes to warm up. Gradually push on the “CHOKE” as the engine warms up. Never clean when the TITAN 425 is in the IDLE mode. Failure to follow this caution may result in serious component or engine damage.
  • Page 22 Chemical System Valve Figure 4. TITAN 425 Chemical System Control and Metering With the truckmount running at full throttle, block off the vacuum intake to the recovery tank. The vacuum gauge should read 12” Hg. This will assist in priming the chemical system.
