Installation
Dealer Responsibility
Your distributor from whom you purchased this mobile
cleaning unit is responsible for correct installation of
this machine. The dealer is also responsible for initial
training of your operators and maintenance personnel
in proper operation and maintenance of this unit.
Vehicle Requirements
1. The unit should NOT be mounted in any motor
vehicle of less than 1/2 ton capacityor 3/4 ton if
equipped with one or more auxiliary fresh water
tanks.
DO NOT exceed the vehicle’s axle weight limit.
Include the console, full tanks, accessories, and
operators in calculations.
2. If mounting in a trailer, make certain that trailer is
rated for the total weight of UNIT AND TRAILER.
Electric or hydraulic brakes should be provided,
and a strict compliance with any State and Federal
vehicle laws must be maintained.
3. The vehicle tires should have a load rating above
the combined vehicle and unit weight.
4. We do not recommend using flooring materials that
absorb water. This could result in rust and
corrosion of the vehicle floor.
5. Padding under rubber floor mats should be
removed before installing this unit.
6. We highly recommend using a drip tray under
console (Part #86050370, or Part # 86050380 for
units mounted on a water tank).
7. If using a trailer, console should be positioned so
that it balances properly with respect to axle. Ten
percent (10%) of the overall unit weight, should be
on tongue.
Example: If loaded trailer weight is 2,000 lbs.,
tongue weight needs to be a minimum of 200 lbs.
to tow properly.
Lifting Unit Onto Vehicle
Since console weighs approximately 600 lbs. pounds,
(690 lbs. if mounted on water tank) we recommend
using a forklift to lift unit onto vehicle. Position forks
under unit from front and make CERTAIN that forks are
spread to insert into frame slots.
Positioning Unit In Vehicle
Because vehicles vary in size and openings, individuals
have their own preference as to where they want their
units installed. We strongly recommend a side door
installation for this and DO NOT recommend a rear
door installation.
1. Enough space should be provided to assure
adequate engine ventilation and room for service
and maintenance.
2. The unit with waste tank and accessories must
NOT exceed vehicle's axle weight limit. An empty
60 gallon waste tank and console weighs 810 lbs
(900 lbs. if mounted on water tank).
3. DO NOT position the console closer than 12" from
bottom of driver and passenger seats.
NOTE: For individuals who wish to make an
engineering layout prior to positioning unit, refer to
"Dimensional Data" illustrations for waste tank and
console dimensions.
4. Be sure to consider all accessories and their
required space prior to positioning the console and
waste tank.
