SECTION TWO – OPERATION WASTE PUMP SYSTEM The Dri-Eaz HVE-LL is equipped with an automatic waste pump-out system which removes water from the recovery tank so that the unit can continue to extract larger volumes of water than the recover tank can hold.
SECTION TWO – OPERATION OPERATION This section of the operator’s manual explains how to prepare, start, operate, shut down and maintain your HVE-LL direct-drive cleaning unit. The HVE-LL unit is easy to operate, however only trained operators should proceed. Operate this unit and equipment only in a well-ventilated area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is an odorless and deadly poison that can cause severe injury or death.

SECTION TWO – OPERATION Using the supplied extended fuel line kit, connect the hose between the fuel tank and the unit, making sure the quick disconnects are securely fastened. NOTE: It will take several minutes for the fuel pump to deliver fuel to the unit. Do not fill the fuel cell in any enclosed space.
Page 22
SECTION TWO – OPERATION RETURNING THE FUEL TANK To return the fuel tank to the unit, disconnect the extended fuel line from the tank only. Start the unit with the tank disconnected to draw as much residual fuel from the line. Allow the unit to run in idle until it runs out of fuel.
SECTION TWO – OPERATION INSTRUMENT PANEL READINGS AND SETTINGS HOUR METER The hour meter records the operating time of the machine. This information is used to calculate maintenance and service intervals. See the Service And Maintenance section in this manual for more information.
Page 24
SECTION TWO – OPERATION PUMP OUT ON (INDICATOR LIGHT) The pump out indicator light will turn on when the automatic waste pump is activated in either the ON or OVR positions on the PUMP OUT switch. TANK FULL (INDICATOR LIGHT) The tank full indicator light will turn on when the high level sensor switch has been activated in the recovery tank.
SECTION TWO – OPERATION STARTING THE UNIT STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Set the THROTTLE control in, pull out engine CHOKE. 2. Flip the engine on/off switch to RUN, press the START button to start the engine. 3. Once the engine is running, push in the engine CHOKE. 4.
SECTION TWO – OPERATION SHUT DOWN AND DAILY MAINTENANCE 1. Remove as much moisture from the vacuum hoses and extraction tool as possible. This will prevent spilling of waste water when recoiling the hoses onto the reel. 2. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the unit, leaving the vacuum port(s) open. 3.
SECTION TWO – OPERATION AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWNS When the recovery tank is full, the machine will shut down and a red indicator light will illuminate on the instrument panel. If this happens, make sure the PUMP OUT switch is in the OFF position and empty the recovery tank into an approved source to resume operation.
SECTION TWO – OPERATION FREEZE PROTECTION WINTERIZING YOUR UNIT If the waste pump is exposed to freezing weather conditions, the water inside of the pump may freeze, resulting in SERIOUS DAMAGE to the impeller. Water freezes at 32° F and 0° C. The following is recommended to prevent this from occurring during the cold weather season: 1.
