GENERAL INFORMATION The Cleanco TM Floodmaster Truckmount has been designed for the professional restorer who demands a high performance-extraction unit. Dependable performance is the guiding principle in the design and construction of the Cleanco TM Floodmaster. Although the Cleanco TM Floodmaster is designed with simplicity in mind, this truckmounted extraction plant has many functions that perform simultaneously.
Always obtain permission to use these locations prior to dumping the waste tank. Another solution to the disposal of the waste water is to equip your TM Floodmaster with the Optional TM External Pump- out (APO). The pump-out is designed to remove waste water from the TM Floodmaster’s recovery tank system and actively pump the water through hoses to a suitable disposal drain.
START UP PROCEDURE The TM Floodmaster cannot be run in the “IDLE” position for water extraction. This will void the warranty. 1. Make sure the van is parked on level ground, placed in the park position and the emergency brake is set and turn off vehicle engine.
To prevent this, Cleanco installs stainless steel filter screens on the vacuum inlet inside the vacuum recovery tank. The stainless steel filters should be removed daily or after every job and cleaned. When reinstalling the filter only thread filter on until finger tight.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The Cleanco Compact electrical system has been specifically designed with simplicity in mind. There are multiple wiring harness that connect all operations of the unit. This harness is complete with specially designed plug ends, which enable service centers easy fuse panel access and service if necessary. All wiring is coated to protect against corrosion from moisture or water spillage.
APO SWITCH: Is a pre-wired switch for the optional Cleanco TM External Pump Out. Part number 237-040. AUXILIARY SWITCH: Is a pre-wired switch used to turn an auxiliary item on or off, if an optional item, such as a lighting kit has been installed.
RECOVERY TANK The recovery tank of the Cleanco TM FLOODMASTER incorporates many unique features to protect your equipment, and save you time. The tank is made from 3/16 powdered coated marine aluminum and contains several baffles to insure strength and durability. The recovery tank holds 90 U.S. gallons of soiled water solution, giving you longer cleaning intervals between dumping.
MAINTENANCE TM FLOODMASTER To avoid costly repairs and downtime, it is imperative to develop and practice good maintenance procedures. These procedures must be performed on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and bi-annual schedule. DAILY • Check engine oil level. (2) Fill to proper level.
TM FLOODMASTER SERVICE INTERVAL CHART SERVICE INTERVALS - EVERY 30 HOURS Belt Tensioner Adjust belt tensioner after first 10 hours of operation, then monthly SERVICE INTERVALS - EVERY 50 HOURS Hoses Inspect hoses for wear, damage. Replace if damaged. Engine Change engine oil after first 50 hours of operation.

ENGINE WILL NOT START (DOES NOT TURN OVER) PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION Loose or corroded battery connections. Clean, tighten or replace battery terminals. Dead battery Recharge or replace battery. Test ignition switch for power going into the switch. If there is power going in, but none Defective ignition switch coming out, replace switch.

LOSS OF VACUUM (while cleaning, engine RPM is normal but vacuum is lower than expected) PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION Vacuum hoses are damaged or kinked causing a suction leak. Inspect hoses, repair or replace. Inspect lid gaskets, repair seal or replace Waste tank gasket not sealing or not positioned correctly.
Engine Oil The engine oil needs to be checked on a daily basis. Arrowed in the photo is the engine dipstick. Using a clean rag, slowly remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Then slowly remove it again to check the engine oil level. The engine oil fill cap is located on the top of the engine towards the radiator.

Engine Air Filter The internal air filter element will be snug when trying to remove it. A slight twist while pulling it out will free it up. Make sure when you replace the filter to firmly push it back into a position that it seats properly.

Hays Bearing Support Shaft The Hays bearing support shaft takes the load off the rear bearing of the Kubota engine, giving the engine extended life. The zerk grease fitting requires greasing every 250 hours. Grease with SKF LGMT3/0.4 bearing grease. Grease part number 707-005 Waste Tank Blower Inlet Filters On the inside of the waste tank are two filters.
Fuse Panel You will notice the fuse panel located on the left side of the middle cross member. This fuse panel creates a fusible link between the engine and all other components on the unit. If you need to replace a fuse, make sure you use the correct amp fuse as a replacement.
