As with any machine, it is important to use the Boxxer H2O correctly. Operating the ma- chine is simple; just start the engine with the vacuum hoses disconnected, let it warm up for two or three minutes, advance the throttle to the maximum operating position, connect the vacuum hoses and you are ready to extract water.

Boxxer H Precautions Although this unit has been factory adjusted, it may require additional adjustments to achieve optimum performance, for instance higher altitudes may require carburetor adjustment. When required, consult an authorized representative. THROUGH-FLOOR DRILLING: Be cautious when drilling holes through the van floor. Many vans have critical components mounted directly below the van floor that could be damaged by a misplaced drill bit.

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 forbid- den by HydraMaster Corporation and by federal and state regulation. Page 1-4: General Information...
Boxxer H Responsibilities The Purchaser’s responsibilities are: Prior to arrival of unit, install 5/8” exterior plywood flooring in the vehicle and cover it with artificial turf. In Dodge vans the fuel tanks are located directly against the floor. Caution must be used when drilling any holes through the floor.

Boxxer H Vehicle Preparation When selecting a truck, remember the preferable vehicle for a Boxxer H O installation is a cargo van with a heavy-duty suspension package and a half ton capacity. A three quarter ton or larger capacity van, with a 2,400 pound payload capacity, is required. TRUCK PREPARATION The manufacturer recommends the installation of plywood flooring, covered with polypro- pylene-backed Astroturf (do not use rubber-backed), in the vehicle prior to installation of...

(engine and component weight line up over drive shaft). Also, it is physically easier to load the unit into the rear door due to the height of the van bed. Figure 1-3 Recommended Placement Page 1-8: General Information HydraMaster Corporation...

Boxxer H 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 follow- ing illustration for the correct installation. Figure 1-4 Installation Using Tie-down Cleats Ensure that the machine is well secured to the floor of the van with the hardware supplied.

Transportation in a vehicle of any vented fuel container that presently holds or has ever held a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster Cor- poration and by federal and state regulation. The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
This will make the engine run ‘rich’, and, in turn will result in the loss of power, excessive heat in the exhaust, and carbon buildup in the exhaust system. The jet sizes vary per engine and elevation. Consult HydraMaster to obtain proper jet size. Page 1-11: General Information...
The hidden benefit of this process is that the technician does not have to stop his cleaning to empty the recovery tank. HydraMaster makes an A.P.O. System available which can be ordered with new equip- ment or installed later.

Boxxer H Operating Instructions Start Up 1. Perform daily and periodic maintenance as specified in this Owner’s Manual. The machine cannot be run in the “IDLE” position for water recovery. This will void the warranty. Note: Never run machine on any speed other than full throttle. Running at any other speed will void the warranty.
Records of maintenance must be kept and copies may be required to be furnished to HydraMaster before the warranty is honored. It is recommended that you affix a copy of the log on the vehicle door near your unit for convenience and to serve as a maintenance reminder.

2. Maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair is much easier to accomplish on a clean, well maintained unit. Regular cleaning of the machine offers you an opportunity to visually inspect all facets of the machine and spot potential problems before they occur.

Boxxer H Vacuum System The vacuum pump in this machine is commonly referred to as a ‘positive displacement lobe’ type blower. The performance and life of this unit is greatly dependent on the care and proper maintenance it receives. Because of the close tolerances between the lobes and housing of the vacuum blower, solid objects entering the inlet will damage the internal lobes, gears, bearings or drive system.
Page 48
VACUUM TANK FILTER BAGS HydraMaster filter bags are designed to trap lint, sand and dirt that would normally collect at the bottom of your vacuum tank. The use of these bags, if emptied at the end of each job, will eliminate the build-up of much of the debris in the tank.
Boxxer H Vacuum System Troubleshooting 1.0. Weak vacuum at wand. Gauge reads normal (10" to 12" with hoses & wand attached) 1.1. Clogged hoses or wand tube. Disconnect hoses and check carefully for an ob- struction. 1.2. Excessive length of hoses connected to machine. Make sure machine is rated for the conditions under which it is being operated.
1.2. Condensation. This will be more pronounced in cool weather and humid climates. Observe how long this condition persists after starting machine. If it is only until the machine warms up, it is normal. Page 6-4: Vacuum System HydraMaster Corporation...
Boxxer H Electrical System The Boxxer electrical system, in keeping with the entire machine concept, has been kept to a minimum so as to keep any necessary troubleshooting as easy as pos- sible. The entire electrical system operates on 12 volts DC which is provided by a battery. Bat- tery levels are sustained by a 16 amp alternator inside the engine.

Boxxer H Electrical Troubleshooting Problem/ Solution Possible Cause The engine is not charging the battery. The regulator/rectifier is bad. Check the B+ voltage from the regulator/rectifier to ground. With the engine running at normal RPM the voltage should be 12.5 to 14.5 DC volts.
Boxxer H Engine Troubleshooting 1.0. Will not turn over 1.1. There is a loose or corroded battery terminal. Clean and tighten the battery terminal connections. 1.2. The battery is dead. Recharge or replace the battery. Test the charging system. Repair if necessary. WARNING: Do not attempt to jump-start this machine from a running vehicle.

Boxxer H 4.2. There is excessive load on the engine due to the blower-to-recovery tank hose becoming delaminated. Remove and inspect the inside of the hose. Replace as necessary. 4.3. There is excessive back-pressure on the engine or blower exhaust. Check for clogged blower heat exchanger.
Page 58
8.2. Low engine oil level. Check oil level and replenish as necessary. 8.3. Engine RPM too high. Check RPM with an accurate tachometer. Adjust as necessary to 3000 RPM. 8.4. Restricted engine or blower exhaust. Disassemble exhaust components to locate restriction. Repair as necessary. Page 8-4: Engine Troubleshooting HydraMaster Corporation 04/20/04...
