1-1 - General Information
Steamatic 8800 TMU
The compact but powerful Steamatic 8800 TMU is a carefully engineered truckmount
carpet cleaning machine.
A950G Daihatsu engine powers the Steamatic 8800 TMU’s Tuthill 4007 Tri-Lobe vacuum
blower and the high pressure water pump, rated at 4 gpm (15 litres/minute).
The Steamatic 8800 TMU’s innovative design features a blower/engine exhaust diverter
which allows for a non-recirculating or “dump-less” subsystem. This dump-less system,
a rst in the carpet cleaning industry, reduces the need to rell the fresh water tank or
empty the recovery tank.
Other features of the Steamatic 8800 TMU include:
Dual oil bath and sight glasses for enhanced blower reliability• 0 - 1,200 psi (0 - 8,274 kPa) heated for carpet and tile cleaning• Dual tool/wand capable• A.D.C temperature control with instant heat up to 265° F (129.4° C)• Dura FlowAutomatic Pump Out (APO)• 110 gallon Fresh Water Tank•

SYSTEM CONCEPT
This is how the Steamatic 8800 TMU works:
Incoming water enters the water box and is pressurized by the high pressure water1. pump. The water is heated by engine coolant in the tube and shell heat exchanger
and then by the engine and blower exhaust in the cross ow heat exchanger.
Cleaning solution is then injected into the pressurized water stream and the heated
2. solution is delivered to the cleaning tool.
The solution is recovered by the vacuum generated by the vacuum pump and is
3. collected in the recovery tank for proper disposal.
Photographs and illustrations included in this document can represent optional
equipment as well as standard equipment.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTICES
The manufacturer uses this WARNING symbol throughout the manual to warn of
possible injury or death.
This CAUTION symbol is used to warn of possible equipment damage.
This NOTICE symbol indicates that federal or state regulatory laws may apply,
and also emphasizes supplemental information.

General Information - 1-6
Steamatic 8800 TMU
Warnings and Cautions specic to the Steamatic 8800 TMU include the following:
During the operation of the truckmount many components are in motion. Never
touch any part of the truckmount that is in motion. Serious injury may result.
During the operation of the truckmount many surfaces will become extremely hot.
Never touch hot surfaces. Serious injury may result.
The operation of this truckmount can produce noise levels exceeding 85 decibels
to a distance of 10 ft (3.05 m). The Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration
(OSHA) recommends the use of hearing protective equipment if a person is
exposed to an average of 85 decibels over an 8-hour period. Check with local
and state agencies concerning hearing conservation rules.
During the operation of the truckmount carbon monoxide and other toxic fumes
are produced. Position the vehicle so that any fumes produced will be directed
away from inhabited areas and any points of building entry (doors, windows, air
conditioning units, fans, etc.). Do not occupy the vehicle while the truckmount is
in operation. Serious injury may result.
Duringthe operation of thetruckmount, chemicals known tothe State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm are produced by the
engine exhaust.
Never operate the truckmount with a portable gas container inside the vehicle.
Doing so will increase the risk of re and explosion. Serious injury or death may
result.
Transportingaventedfuelcontainerthatpresentlycontains,orhasevercontained
in the past, a ammable liquid is strictly forbidden by The manufacturer and by
federal and state regulations. Doing so will increase the risk of re and explosion.
Serious injury or death may result.

1-7 - General Information
Steamatic 8800 TMU
Never smoke in or around the truckmount. Doing so will increase the risk of re
and explosion. Serious injury or death may result.
During the operation of the truckmount the exhaust system will become extremely
hot. Keep all ammable materials away from the truckmount exhaust system.
Failure to do so will increase the risk of re and explosion. Serious property
damage may result.
Never operate the truckmount when the vehicle is tilted more than 10 degrees in
anydirection.Doingsowillresultinimproperlubricationoftheinternalcomponents,
and will increase the risk of serious component or engine damage.
Never perform cleaning operations when the truckmount engine is running at the
IDLE throttle position. Failure to do so will increase the risk of serious component
or engine damage.
Never operate the truckmount with the vehicle doors closed. Doing so results in
extremelyhigh temperaturesinside thevehicle andwill leadto seriouscomponent
or engine damage.
Neveruseconcentratedacidsorsolvents(includingd-limonene)inthetruckmount
water system or chemical system. Use of these products will cause serious
component damage.
Neveroperatethetruckmountwithawaterhardnessreadingmeasuring3.0grains
per gallon (3.79 litres) or higher. Using reading than 3.0 grains per gallon (3.79
litres) will cause scale to build up inside the truckmount water system. Scale build
up causes serious component damage. Test all water prior to use and use water
softening equipment if necessary.

General Information - 1-8
Steamatic 8800 TMU
Never allow water to freeze inside the truckmount. Serious component damage
will occur. Perform all freeze guarding procedures outlined in this digital Owner’s
Manual.
Many vehicles have critical components mounted directly below the oor that
can easily be damaged. Before drilling holes in the oor of the vehicle inspect
the underside of the vehicle for critical components. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the vehicle.
