HydraMaster’s ClearWater Rinse has been formulated to protect vital compo- nents. HydraMaster will not warranty parts that have been damaged from using unprotected acid products that have obviously caused failures. CAUTION HARD WATER PROTECTION: Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent scale build up can result in system failure and loss of warranty on affected parts.
Page 15
Boxxer 427 Page 1-5 WARNING HEARING PROTECTION: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends the use of hearing protection when a technician is exposed to an average of 85 decibels (this is an average of exposure over an 8 hour period).
WARNING TRANSPORTATION OF FUEL CONTAINERS: Transportation in a vehicle of any vented fuel container that presently has or has ever contained a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster Corporation and by federal and state regula- tion. CAUTION The use of some chemicals through your mobile carpet cleaning plant can seri- ously damage the internal plumbing, high-pressure pump, chemical pump and heat exchangers.
System Operation he Boxxer heat exchanger system is a highly engineered cleaning plant designed by HydraMaster Corporation. The system utilizes a dynamic heating system com- prised of two separate exhaust heat exchangers for capturing “free heat.” The water flow is as follows: Water is fed into the machine under tap pressure and it flows through the water conditioner to the water box.

Page 23
Boxxer 427 Page 1-13 CORRECT INSTALLATION INCLUDES: • Vehicle of proper load carrying capacity (recommendation: ½ ton). • Installation of a safe fuel tap system and through-floor fittings as approved by Hydramaster • Placing the unit and recovery tank in your vehicle and securing them with bolts or tie down cleats.
Boxxer 427 Vehicle Preparation hen selecting a truck, remember the preferable vehicle for a Boxxer 427 installation is a cargo van with a heavy-duty suspension package and a half ton capacity. If a fresh water tank is added, a three quarter ton or larger capacity van, with a 2,400 pound payload capacity, is required.
Page 25
Boxxer 427 Page 1-15 PLACEMENT OF UNIT IN VEHICLE There are two recommended unit placements: SIDE DOOR: Most installations are side door. This provides rear access for accessories and hoses as well as unobstructed access to the component/working side of the machine, thus making it a bit easier to perform maintenance and/or repair without removing the unit from the truck.
Page 26
Page 1-16 Boxxer 427 Machine Tie Down Cleats Secure the machine to the floor of the van with the four tie down cleats provided. This safety measure will ensure that the machine will not slide inside the van. See the following illustration for the correct installation.

WARNING Transportation in a vehicle of any vented fuel container that presently holds or has ever held a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster Corpora- tion and by federal and state regulation. WARNING The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
In turn, this can cause the water box to boil and the high pressure pump to cavitate. The heat control system settings will have to be adjusted to compensate for the elevation. These settings will vary according to elevation. Contact HydraMaster to obtain the recommended settings. HydraMaster Corporation...
HydraMaster has included five hard water test strips with your machine. These can be used to test the water in your immediate and surrounding areas as they can vary greatly.
Page 1-20 Boxxer 427 HARD WATER AREA MAP The following map defines areas in the United States which compromise fluid related components such as hoses, fittings, heaters, pumps, valves and water cooled en- gines. For other countries, hard water area maps can be obtained from geological societies.
