CTS 450 Hot Carbonating Truckmount System
This manual contains installation and operation instructions as well as information
required for proper maintenance, adjustment and repair of this unit. Since the first and
most important part of repair work is the correct diagnosis of the problem, component
manual troubleshooting charts have been included for your convenience.
Unlike a garden tractor, lawn mower or cement mixer, all having one or two functions to
perform, the truckmounted carpet cleaning plant has many functions to perform simulta-
neously.
• The engine has to run at a consistent rpm.
• The vacuum has to pull air and dirty water back from cleaning site.
• The solution system provides stable pressure at proper water flow for cleaning.
• The heating system must maintain proper heat.
• The vacuum tank must store dirty water until drained.
As you can see, this machine is not just a simple turn-key operation where your only worry
is “Does it start?”
