Warnings and Cautions specific to the CDS 4.8 SV 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. 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...

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.

ENGINE COMPUTER RELEARN 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.
Page 13
Hard Water Area Map The hard water map, shown in Figure 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 14
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 SV machines in areas exceeding 3.0 grains per gallon (see Figure 2).
HydraMaster makes an Automatic Wastewater Disposal System (AWDS) which can be ordered with new equipment or installed later.

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. The CDS unit generates toxic fumes.
Page 17
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.
Page 18
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.

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). Do not dump waste in any area which might violate local, state or federal law.
