SET UP AND OPERATION:
Electrical Specifications:
The Olympus is equipped with power cords and is designed to work with an 115VAC, 60hz,
15 or 20 amp circuits. These outlets are commonly found in homes and commercial buildings.
If your machine has two cords, plug into separate outlets from different circuit breakers. Check that the
Dual Circuit Indicator green light comes on, showing the two cords are on separate breakers.
Water Supply
Use either the manual fill or the auto fill method (if equipped) to fill the solution tank with water. Hot
water can be used as long as the temperature does not exceed 130ºF. DO NOT run out of water while
using this machine, this can damage the pump,
Manual Fill:
Pour up to 10 gallons of water into the solution tank, lift the lid and pour in the manual fill opening.
Auto Fill and Pump Out:
Connect the unit to the water source using a Water Supply Hose. The garden hose connection
attaches to the water source, connect the hose to the Olympus using Male Quick Connect on the
front of the unit.

9
Auto Pump-Out (If Equipped)
Remove the cap from the pump-out outlet fitting on the back of the machine. Connect the pump-out hose
to the outlet fitting. Place the other end of the hose in a commode or drain connected to the sanitary sewer
system. Secure hose end to prevent movement during pumping. Use defoamer in recovery tank to prevent
foam build-up during cleaning and to keep foam/moisture from entering vacuums.
Connect Solution Hose
Connect the high pressure solution hose to the Olympus using the female quick connect on the front
of the switch plate. The solution hose is then attached to the cleaning tool.
Connect Vacuum Hose
Connect the vacuum hose to the unit using the 2” Flash Cuff connecter included on the vacuum hose
supplied with the Olympus. The vacuum hose is then attached to the cleaning tool.
Switching on the Olympus
1. Switch on the Pump. Open the valve or trigger on your tool to open the solution line, wait for
the pump to prime and for pressure in the solution line. If pump fails to prime see methods
below to manually prime the pump.
2. Turn on the Heater (if Equipped). It will take a few minutes for the heater to reach working
temperature.
3. Turn on Vacuums
4. Begin Cleaning.
Pump Prime
Pump Prime Lever (if Equipped)
Push down and hold the pump prime lever on the back of the unit. Release the lever when water has
filled the pump and wait for the pressure to build in the solution line.

10
Manual Pump Prime
If the pump does not prime quickly, the vacuum may be used to aid priming:
• Direct the end of a short prime hose (1605-4177 sold separately) into the vacuum barb on the front of
the machine. The prime hose, 1605-4177, has a quick connect into the machine on one end and is open
on the other.
• Turn on one or both of the vacuum motors.
• Turn on the solution pump.
• Cup a hand around the hose & barb to increase the vacuum suction on the hose.
• When water is flowing out of the hose, direct the hose to the solution tank and turn off the vacuum
motors to ensure the flow continues when the vacuum is removed.
• When the flow is steady, turn off the solution pump, remove the hose, and proceed with machine set-up
procedures. If the pump still does not prime, or if flow is low or unsteady, check the hose from the
solution tank to the pump (as well as the inline filter) for clogging, kinks, or restrictions. Clean or replace
hose and/or filter and repeat the priming procedure.
If you are having trouble with the pump, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.
Pressure adjustment
If Applicable.
When the pump is on and primed, pressure will show on the gauge on the back of the Olympus (for units
that have a pressure gauge). The pressure reading on the gauge will drop from its static state when the
solution line is open and the tool is spraying. Re-adjust as need for desired running pressure.
• To decrease the pressure, turn the pressure regulator counter-clockwise.
• To increase the pressure, turn the pressure regulator clockwise.
The maximum pressure setting varies by Olympus model and is offered in 100, 200, 500 and 1200 PSI
configurations. Working pressures seen in real world environments are generally lower then labeled on
the pump.
The pressures labeled on the pumps are a maximum possible pressure they can output at a set flow rate.
Jet size and water flow rate on the cleaning tool effects the highest possible pressure rate the pump can
output. Smaller jets and lower flow will allow for higher pressure at the tool. Larger jets and higher flow
will lower the maximum pressure attained at the tool

11
Empty Waste Tank
The Waste Tank will automatically shut off the vacuum airflow to the tank when it fills with wastewater.
When the waste tank is full, the vacuum float will rise and block the inlet airflow to the tank and loss of
vacuum at the tool. When this happens, shut the machine off immediately;
• Turn off the Vacuum switches.
• Turn off the Pump switch.
• Drain the waste tank by lifting the Dump valve on the back of the Olympus.
• Close the dump valve, turn on the Olympus and resume cleaning.
If the Vacuum shutoff is not working properly, refer to the Trouble Shooting guide or contact your
distributor for assistance.
If the Pump-Out is not working properly, refer to the Trouble Shooting guide or contact your distributor
for assistance.

12
Heater
If Applicable.
The solution tank needs to be filled with the pump running and primed before the heater is switched on.
Running the heater without water will damage the heater core. Allow the heater to heat up for about 5
minutes before starting to spray the tool.
The heat delivered to the tool is dependent on two factors:
• Starting temperature of the water in the tank. Hotter water will require a smaller temperature increase
from the heater to reach the maximum temperature. The water temperature in the solution tank cannot
exceed 130°F. Flow rate:
• Flow rate at the tool head. The lower the flow rate of the water through the heater, the more time the
water will be inside the heater. High water usage and flow rate will not allow the water enough time to be
heated and the temperature of the water delivered to the tool will be much lower. The flow rate can be
lowered by putting smaller jets in the cleaning tool and by reducing the amount of time the wand is
sprayed.
Shutdown procedures
•Turn off all switches.
•If using Auto fill, disconnect the water inlet hose from the quick-connect on the front of the
machine.
•Remove any remaining water from the solution tank. Use the vacuum hose and extract water from
the solution tank through the manual fill opening.
•Disconnect the vacuum hose from the Olympus. Pull valve trigger to release pressure from the
solution hose then disconnect the solution hose from Olympus.
•Empty out waste tank and dispose in sanitary drain. Do not use the same bucket to drain the tank
that you use to fill the tank.
•Disconnect the power cords from the outlets and from the machine.
•Remove the waste tank lid and clean off float, cage and cap as needed. Spray out waste tank with
fresh water. Replace lid and empty tank.
