1 - General Information
The CTS 4600/4800 Clutch Drive System (CDS) is a highly engineered carpet cleaning
and ood extraction machine, designed and manufactured for Chem Dry for use in all
Ford and GMC vans (2006 model year and later).
The CTS CDS units, which utilize the most current technology available in solution and
recovery systems, are available in four congurations:
CTS 4600 CDS featuring a 45 Tuthill vacuum blower for a Ford or Chevy van or1. CTS 4800 CDS featuring a 47 Tuthill vacuum blower for a Ford or Chevy van2.
In addition to the Tuthill blower, other major components of the basic machine include a
Thomas air compressor, a drive system, a stainless steel coolant heat exchanger and a
100 gallon recovery tank.

General Information: 1-2
CTS 4600/4800 CDS
Other features of the CTS CDS include:
Full instrumentation with control console• Stainless steel Salsa heat exchanger• One 15 gallon solution tank• Equipment cowling with armrests• Freeze guard system• Solution hose• Two vacuum hoses• Optional Dura-Flow Automatic Pump-Out (APO)•
Thismanualcontainsinstallationandoperationinstructionsaswellasinformationrequired

Systems, paying special attention to all Warnings and Cautions.
SYSTEM CONCEPT
The CTS 4600/4800 CDS cleaning system works this way:
Compressed air pushes the cleaning solution out of the tanks.
1.
Solution then ows through the heat exchange system. 2. If the cleaning tool is in use and the solution is at the desired temperature, the3.
solution will ow through the solution outlet.
The heated cleaning solution is applied to the
4. cleaning surface.
Used solution from the cleaning surface is sent to the recovery tank.5.
See Section 5 of this Owner’s Manual for a detailed explanation and ow diagrams.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTICES
HydraMaster 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.

1-5: General Information
CTS 4600/4800 CDS
Warnings and Cautions specic to the CTS 4600/4800 CDS 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 heater, engine, exhaust, etc.
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
period). This equipment can produce 85 decibels to a distance of 10 feet. Please
check with your local state agencies to see if OSHA standards apply to your
application.
NO SMOKING: It is unsafe to smoke in or around the vehicle.
CARBON MONOXIDE: This unit generates toxic fumes. Position the vehicle so
that the fumes will be directed away from the job site. Do not park where exhaust
fumes can enter a building through open doors, windows, air conditioning units
or kitchen fans.
TOXIC FUMES: Do not occupy the vehicle when the cleaning equipment is
operating. Toxic fumes may accumulate inside a stationary vehicle and cause
bodily injury.
ENGINE EXHAUST: The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
knowntotheStateofCaliforniatocausecancer,birthdefectsorotherreproductive
harm.
VACUUM HOSE: Do not leave the vacuum hose unattended during operation.
This could cause bodily injury.

General Information: 1-6
CTS 4600/4800 CDS
MOVING PARTS: Never touch any part of the machine that is in motion. Severe
bodily injury may result.
TRANSPORTATION OF FUEL CONTAINERS: Transportation in a vehicle of any
vented fuel container that presently has or has ever contained a ammable liquid is
strictly forbidden by Harris Research Inc. and by federal and state regulations.
EXHAUST SYSTEM: Do not allow ammable material (i.e. oil, fuel, plastic, or
wood products) to come in contact with the exhaust system. Doing so may cause
bodily injury.
VACUUMSYSTEM:Whenmachineisbeingrunfortestpurposesandthevacuum
inlet on top of the machine is open, caution should be used.
To protect the vacuum blower from over loading and damaging itself, there is a
vacuum relief system installed on the vacuum tank. When the vacuum tank inlet
is completely sealed off, a maximum of 12” Hg will be attained.
VACUUM TANK: Foam passing through the blower could lead to equipment
malfunction. Therefore, it is important to keep the vacuum tank foam free.
The use of some chemicals through your mobile carpet cleaning plant can
seriously damage the internal plumbing and heat exchangers. These harmful
chemicals include concentrated acid, solvents (including d-Limonene), and some
paint, oil and grease removers with a high concentration of solvents.
THROUGH-FLOOR DRILLING: Be cautious when drilling holes through the van
oor. Many vans have critical components mounted directly below the van oor
that could be damaged by a misplaced drill bit.)

1-7: General Information
CTS 4600/4800 CDS
LEVEL OPERATION: During operation, the van must be parked on level ground
not to exceed + or - 10 degrees. Failure to ensure proper leveling may prevent
proper internal lubrication of engine, vacuum and/or high pressure components.
FREEZEPROTECTION:Thereisoftenlittlewarningbeforeacoldspell.Therefore,
not protecting this equipment from freezing will result in costly down-time. Placing
an electric heater in the truck or parking the truck indoors will help to ensure
against freezing, but should not be the primary method of freeze protection. (See
page 4-5 of this Owner’s Manual for more information.)

WASTE WATER DISPOSAL ADVISORY
There are laws in most communities prohibiting the dumping of recovered “gray” water
from carpet cleaning in any place but a sanitary treatment system.
The cleaning solution, recovered into your unit’s vacuum tank, contains materials
such as detergents, and must be safely processed before entering streams, rivers and
reservoirs.
In most cases, an acceptable method of waste water disposal is to discharge into a
municipal sewage treatment system after rst ltering out solid material such as carpet
ber. Access to the sanitary system can be obtained through a toilet, laundry drain, RV
dump, etc. Permission should rst be obtained from any concerned party or agency.

ETC.
The penalties for non-compliance can be serious. Always check local laws and
regulations to be sure you are in compliance.
