CTS 450 Hot Carbonating Truckmount System Vehicle Preparation The preferable vehicle for the CTS 450 Truckmount installation is either a cargo van or a minivan with a heavy-duty suspension package. The van should have a minimum 1/2 ton capacity. Be cautious when drilling any holes through the van floor. Many vans have critical compo- nents mounted directly below the van floor that could be damaged by a misplaced drill bit.

(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 1-9 : CTS 450 Owner’s Manual...

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 Corporation 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.
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 and heat ex- changer system. The jet sizes vary per engine and elevation. Consult HydraMaster to obtain proper jet size.
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.
HydraMaster makes an A.P.O. System available which can be or ered with new equipment or installed later. The penalties for noncompliance can be serious. Always check local laws and regulations to be sure you are in compliance.
