WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTICES HydraMaster uses this WARNING symbol throughout the manual to warn of possible injury or death. This CAUTION symbol is used to warn of possible equipment damage. This NOTICE symbol indicates that federal or state regulatory laws may apply, and also emphasizes supplemental information.
Page 12
Warnings and Cautions specific to the CDS 4.8 include: HOT SURFACES: During the operation of this equipment, many surfaces on the machine will become very hot. When near the van for any reason care must be taken not to touch any hot surface, such as the engine or the exhaust.
Page 13
The use of some chemicals through your mobile carpet cleaning plant can seriously damage the internal plumbing, high-pressure pump, chemical pump and heat exchangers. These harmful chemicals include concentrated acid (see the pH chart in Figure 2-1), solvents (including d-Limonene), and some paint, oil and grease removers with a high concentration of solvents.

RESPONSIBILITIES Prior to the arrival of the unit, the van that it will be installed in should be delivered to the installer. Purchaser’s Responsibility If you are the purchaser, it is the your responsibility to read the Owner’s Manual and to familiarize yourself with the information contained herein, paying special attention to all Warnings and Cautions.
BATTERY RELEARN FOR FORD VAN (Excerpt from Ford Econoline Owner’s Guide) Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically controlled by a computer, some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and performance.
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.
Hard Water Area Map The hard water map, shown in Figure 1-1, defines hard water areas in the lower 48 United States which compromise fluid related components such as hoses, fittings, heaters, pumps, valves and water-cooled engines. For other countries, hard water area maps can be obtained from geological societies.
Page 20
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 CDS 4.8 machines in areas exceeding 3.0 grains per gallon (see Figure 1-2).
HydraMaster makes an Automatic Wastewater Disposal System (AWDS) which can be ordered with new equipment or installed later. When properly configured, the systems will continuously monitor the level of waste water and pump it out simultaneously with the cleaning operation.
2 - Chemicals and Cleaning Your mobile carpet cleaning plant has been engineered using the latest and most sophisticated technology available to produce the finest carpet cleaning results possible. Despite this, it remains only a tool of the carpet cleaning trade and can produce only as a good a job as the person operating it.
Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent acidic corrosion can result in system failure and loss of warranty on affected parts. HydraMaster will not warranty parts that have been damaged from using acid products that have obviously caused failures. Avoid using detergents and chemicals which create foam when those products are agitated because foam passing through the blower could lead to serious mechanical failures.
Figure 2-2. Cleaning Stroke Procedure Failure to adopt the previous procedure can result in increased chance of “clean streaks,” fiber shrinkage, brown-out and longer drying periods. OVERWETTING Overwetting is annoying to all concerned, and sometimes leaves the customer with a bad impression of the cleaning process used.
3 - Operating Instructions This section of the manual contains the following instructions: Before Operating the CDS CDS Start Up CDS Flood Restoration Work CDS Shut Down 3 Speed Throttle Control Function BEFORE OPERATING THE CDS Locate the unit and equipment in a well-ventilated area.
CDS START UP Make sure the vehicle’s gear select lever is in the Park position and the emergency brake is set. Also make sure all accessories are turned off (A/C, fan). Start the vehicle’s engine. Turn key on the CDS dash. Select the cleaning speed appropriate for the cleaning job.
Allow the unit to run for a few minutes with the vacuum hose disconnected in order to remove all moisture from the vacuum pump. Plug the vacuum inlets. Spray a Hydramaster-recommended lubricant (P/N 000- 087-006) into the lube port for about 5 to 10 seconds while the unit is running. This will lubricate the vacuum pump and prevent it from rusting.
Page 30
10. Drain the recovery tank. If your CDS is equipped with an AWDS, first connect a garden hose to the outlet on the front of the machine. If your CDS is equipped without an AWDS, drain the recovery tank through the tank drain valve (under the chemical jug tray).
3 SPEED THROTTLE CONTROL FUNCTION ▬ For GM Vans ▬ The GM Throttle Controller must meet certain “Chassis Ready” conditions to elevate the engine rpm, which are as follows: Parking Brake is set Gear shift is in “Park” Foot is off Service Brake (brake pedal) Foot is off Accelerator Pedal Vehicle is stationary (no speed) Engine is started and idling...

4 - Freeze Guard When operating the CDS 4.8 during the colder months of the year, ensure that you properly freeze guard the system. No part of the CDS 4.8 System is covered by warranty if machine damage occurs because of freezing.
Page 34
In colder climates, insulating the vehicle walls and floor boards will help protect the unit. Do not procrastinate during the cleaning operation or the hot water solution line will also freeze on the ground. The solution line should be insulated in extremely cold climates.
DRAINING THE CDS To drain the machine, follow these steps: Before shutting off the machine, remove the chemical line from the chemical jug and place in a mixture of 50/50 antifreeze and water. Turn the CHEMICAL SYSTEM valve to the ‘PRIME’ position until coolant registers in the flow meter. With the cleaning tool on, allow mixture to fill the remainder of the chemical system.
FREEZE PROTECTING PUMP IN SYSTEM Drain the fresh water tank. Remove the fresh water (garden) hose adapter from the pump in pump hose and position the hose so it is pointing outside the van. Turn on the pump in pump and run for 1 - 2 minutes until all the water is purged from the hose.
5 - Water and Chemical System The CDS 4.8 / 4.6 high-pressure water and chemical system has been designed to be simple and trouble free. This section of the manual explains: Water and Chemical Flow Operation Chemical System Maintenance ...
CHEMICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE The chemical lines may need to be flushed with vinegar periodically to prevent abnormal chemical build-up (see page 10-2). To flush the chemical system: Set the CHEMICAL FLOWMETER to10 gph. Remove the clear plastic hose from the chemical jug and insert it into a 1-quart container of vinegar.

Use GP series oil. If the oil becomes discolored and contaminated, one of the oil seals may be damaged. Refer to the Pump Owner’s Manual, included with the CDS 4.8 Owner’s Manual, for more information. Do not operate the pump if the crankcase has been contaminated with water; if contamination occurs, component damage can result.
Do not turn the drive shaft while the oil reservoir is empty. This can cause component failure. Protect the pump from freezing. Failure to do so can result in component failure which will void warranty coverage (see section 12). PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Change the oil after the first 50 hours of operation, with the pump stopped and the oil still warm, and after every 300 operating hours or 3 months of operation.
