• Solvent-based or water-based solutions containing solvents may damage the pump, hoses, and other components. Do not assume chemical compatibility. Contact your distributor or Hydro-Force if you have questions regarding the compatibility of your chemicals with the machine.
SET UP AND OPERATION 1. Electrical Cord: One 25’ power cord is supplied with the Olympus M100. The amperage draw requires that the cord be plugged into a 20amp circuit. Plug the power cord into the outlet. and connect cord to the machine.
2A. Water Supply & Chemical Mixing– Manual Fill: • Pour up to 12 gallons of hot water into the solution tank at the front of the machine. The water temperature cannot exceed 130° ° ° ° F. • Measure and add the appropriate amount of the desired liquid chemical to the water in the solution tank. The amount of chemical will vary depending on the type of chemical used, the amount of water in the tank, and the material being cleaned;...

Metering Tip Kit – PDE001 Metering Tip Kit (Hydro-Force Item# PDE001) contains 14 different colored metering tips, allowing dilution rates from 11:1 up to 427:1. Refer to the chart below to select the tip that meets the dilution rate for your chemical application.
Connect the other end of the hose to a water faucet, and then turn on the water. • Hot water can be used as long as the temperature does not exceed 140°F. • Faucet adapter kits (Hydro-Force item #AX21 & AX22) are available that allow connection to different types of faucets if needed.

3. Connection of Solution Hose: Connect the high pressure solution hose to the solution outlet (female quick connect on the front of the machine). Connect the other end of the hose to the male quick connect on the cleaning tool. When you are ready to start cleaning, turn the solution pump switch to the ON position The Flojet solution pump, standard on the M100 is self priming and usually additional priming procedures are not required.
5. Optional Auto Pump-out System - Connection of Pump-out Hose: The pump-out hose is a 50’ section of 3/4” garden hose. • Remove the cap from the pump-out outlet fitting on the back of the machine. • Connect the pump-out hose to the outlet fitting. •...
6. Pressure Adjustment: The pressure of the M100 is not adjustable. The pump controls the pressure internally and has a pressure switch that shuts the pump off when the tool is not being sprayed and the pressure builds up past 120psi. The maximum pump pressure is 120psi, but the actual pressure attained is dependent on the amount of water flow at the tool.
Shutdown Procedures: • If using the auto-fill system, turn the water supply off before finishing each job. This will allow use of the water and chemical already in the tank, and will reduce the amount of excess water to be disposed of later. •...

CLEAN CHEMICAL FEED FILTER & FOOT VALVE: With optional Auto-Fill System Only The Filter & Foot Valve is on the end of the chemical feed hose that is placed in the chemical jug as part of the optional Auto-Fill chemical feed system. Regularly examine the filter and clean as needed.
Page 26
CLEAN THE HYDRO-FILTER II: (Optional Accessory) When used with the M100, build-up of debris in the filter screen of the optional Hydro-Filter II will reduce the vacuum air flow and may cause a significant decrease in water recovery. A torn filter screen will allow debris past the filter and into the recovery tank.
CLEAN WASTE PUMP-OUT PUMP: (With optional Auto Pump-Out System Only) Build-up of fine silt inside the Waste Pump can clog the pump even if the pump is not used, so this maintenance procedure should be performed regardless of whether the Waste Pump has been used. •...

CLEAN RECOVERY TANK DRAIN Debris and sand accumulation in the drain valve can damage the valve or prevent it from closing completely. This will result in dirty water leaking from the valve. Use of the Hydro-Filter and regular cleaning of the recovery tank will help prevent this, but occasionally the drain valve will require cleaning or replacement.
Storage Prep and Freeze Protection Procedures: Your Olympus M100 must be protected from freezing. Freezing can cause serious damage to the pump, pump-out, auto-fill float valve, and any other component containing water. If the M100 is transported or stored in freezing temperatures, the following procedures should be performed.
