INSTRUCCIONES PARA OPERAR LA MAQUINA DE LIMIEZA
Conecte una manguera de agua a la rosca que se encuentra en la parte baja de la maquina
en el lado derecho. Conecte la manguera de vapor al desaguadero que se enchufa en el
lado izquierdo (ver instrucciones “quick connect coupling” pagina 14.)
Prenda el agua y deje que corra atraves de la maquina hasta que haya un flujo constante de
agua saliendo del tubo de acero (ver instrucciones “Wand” pagina 15.) Si le quita la
boquilla al tubo se le va hacer mas rapido el proceso. Un flujo constante de agua significa
que no hay aire en el serpentin y no hay restricciones en la boquilla. Cuando obtenga este
flujo constante la bomba va a funcionar major. Recuerde de poner la boquilla otra vez en
la punta del tubo de acero.
Conecte la maquina a una fuente de corriente de 115 voltios haciendo tierra. No prenda la
maquina sin hacer tierra. Prenda el boton de la bomba. Si la bomba se agita, es porque
esta usando una extencion de electricidad muy larga, la cual no puede conducir suficientes
voltios para la maquina. Use una extencion de 50 pies bastante grueza. Solamenta usa
AGUA FRIA; el agua caliente le danara los sellos de la bomba.
Conecte el gas propano a la pieze que gira sobre el eje (swivel fitting). Conecte el
regulador del gas propano al tanque de gas propano con el regulador puesto hacia arriba.
Ue solamente el gas propano que es vaporizado. Abra la valvula de gas completamente
(swivel fitting) que esta localizada sobre el tanque de gas. Para abrir todas las piezas y
valvulas, gire hacia la izquierda y para cerrar, hacia la derecha.
Prenda la maquina. Espere 60 sequndos para que encienda. Si la maquina se apaga,
espere a que se vuelva a encender automaticamente. Si la maquina se nueva, o no ha sido
usada en 12 horas o mas, variosminutos seran necisarios para que arranque. Esto es muy
normal ya que las lineas de gas tienen que sacar todo el aire y llenarse poco a poco.
Prenda y apague el arrancador varias veces.
Si usted quiere apagar el flujo de agua con el control del tubo de acero, mueva la valvula
90 grados para cerrar. No deie la valvula de control predida por mas de 2 minutos. Esto
puede danar y romper su maquina. Para volver abrir el flujo de agua, alinie la bolita de la
valvula paralelamente con el tubode acero. La unidad automaticamente se encendera en
60 segundos despues que se avra la valvula.
Como apagar la maquina:
….Apague el arrancador.
….Deje que la maquina continue corriendo hasta que toda el aqua caliente ha sido forzada
fuera del serpentin, y la valvula de la temperature margue 140 grados F.
….Apague la bomba, cierra la valvula del gas en el tanque de gas.
….Apague el agua y desconectela de la fuente de corriente.

WARNING:
Your Therma-Kleen Vapor Steam Cleaner MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A GROUNDED
OUTLET, or electrical shock can occur. Check with a certified
electrician if there is any doubt that the outlet is grounded. Do not
modify the Power Cord/Plug provided with the Therma-Kleen Vapor
System. If it will not fit the outlet, have a properly grounded outlet
installed by a certified electrician.

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250

WHY THIS UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED:
If the unit should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electrical current to pass, reducing the risk of electrical shock.
All Therma-Kleen units are equipped with a power cord with an equipment
grounding conductor and plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet which is properly grounded in accordance with national & local electrical
codes and ordinances.
Therma-Kleen® units are designed for use with a normal
110/120-volt circuit and has a grounded cord and plug such as
what is illustrated in picture “A”. In no cases should a “2”
adaptor (which is illustrated in picture “B”) plug be used to
adapt “3” prong grounded plug to an ungrounded electrical
outlet.
NOTE:
If an electrical extension cord is used with this system, it must be at a minimum,
12-gauge, 3 wire, grounded, SJ Quality, 60 Degree C, less than 50 ft. long.
DO NOT remove the ground prong on the power cord. This will void the warranty
on your machine and can be dangerous because it does not protect the user.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS START-UP:
1.) Connect the machine to 115 volt, GROUNDED electrical service. A 12 gauge/3
prong extension cord is required for the Ultra 1000 or the Ultra 1300 model.
Using an improper extension cord could cause damage to the machine and cause
erratic operation. For 220-volt machines, use a 220-volt grounded outlet.
2.) Connect a garden hose from a cold-water source to the inlet fitting on the lower
right-hand side of the steam cleaner.
3.) Connect a steam hose to the water outlet quick connect or European threaded
fitting on the left-hand side. If a quick connect system was used on your
machine, make sure it “snapped” tight.
4.) Connect the wand to the steam hose end using the same method as step #3.
5.) Connect the LP gas regulator to the LP tank keeping the regulator upright. The
threads in the tank fitting are reversed. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the fitting. Make
sure the LP tank is in the proper upright position to supply ONLY VAPOROUS LP
gas to the machine. Keep the regulator positioned away from the machine.
DO NOT USE

NOTE: Natural gas option; this model needs to be vented.
6.) Connect the LP gas hose to the connection on the control panel. Make sure it is
completely connected before continuing.
7.) Open the main fuel valve completely located on top of the LP gas tank. If any
leaks are suspected, check for bubbles by covering the connection with soapy
water.
8.) Keep the gas pressure low on the fuel pressure gauge at this time. If the pressure
is too high, adjust the red regulator counter-clockwise (upward) to reduce the
pressure. You should start the machine with about 2-3 lbs. of fuel on the larger
models and 1-2 lbs. on the Ultra 250 and Ultra 600.
9.) Keep the gas pressure low on the fuel pressure gauge at this time. If the pressure
is too high, adjust the red regulator counter-clockwise (upward) to reduce the
pressure. You should start the machine with about 2-3 lbs. of fuel on the larger
models and 1-2 lbs. on the Ultra 250 and Ultra 600.
10.) Turn the cold-water supply source on completely.
11.) Squeeze the trigger on the wand allowing the water to come through the gun.
12.) Turn the PUMP switch “ON” and let the machine run until the pump runs
smoothly and the water isn’t sputtering. To speed the process up you can close
the trigger gun for about 10 seconds and open again. This will help bring the air
to the front of the wand.
SHUT DOWN:
1.) Turn off the ignition switch.
2.) Let the pump continue to run until the water cools down and the temperature
gauge reads
3.) About 100° F
4.) Turn off the pump, close the LP gas valve on the tank.
5.) Turn off the water and disconnect the electricity.
6.) Store the unit where it will not be subject to freezing temperatures as this will
destroy the pump, coils and/or the flow switch.
a.) If this cannot be done:
WINTERIZE THE UNIT:
1.) The Ultra 250 and Ultra 600 require: 1 gallon of windshield wiper fluid or anti-
freeze.
2.) The Ultra 1000 and Ultra 1300 require: 2 gallons of windshield wiper fluid or
anti-freeze.

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250
January 15, 2019

3.) Windshield wiper fluid is good to about -20˚F and the anti-freeze goes even
further.
4.) See Preventative Maintenance Section

1.) Nozzle Holder
2.) Fuel Pressure Gauge
3.) Combistat. This is a
temperature gauge and an
adjustable high limit switch
all in one.
4.) Ignition Switch
5.) Fuse Holder
6.) Pump Switch
7.) Soap Injector (on Ultra 1300
only)
Location may vary per machine.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE:
1.) Periodically inspect and clean water inlet screen located at the inlet of the unit (at
the hose attachment on the Ultra 600/1300 models-Ultra 250 filter is part of the
pump).
2.) Periodically inspect nozzle to make sure it is clean. Restricted water flow, shut
down or interrupted spray pattern is an indication of obstruction in the nozzle.
3.) DESCALING: hardness or mineral content in water along with steam temperatures
will eventually create a coating or build-up of scale in the heating coils. Excessive
scale will shorten coil life and interfere with temperature controls. Scale appears
periodically. Check for scale build-up on inside of steam connections. When scale
has built-up to such a degree that the machine senses accurate low water flow
internally, the unit will not light, or will light and shut-off. A test for scale build-up
is to remove the nozzle and see if the machine lights, and if it does, then you may
need to descale the unit. Other low water issues maybe the cause, such as a bad
pump, etc. See DESCALING Section.

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250
January 15, 2019
12
4.) DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES:
This can ruin the coils, pumps and flow switch. Winterize the machine when
necessary. This can be done by running anti-freeze or windshield wiper fluid
through the garden hose, as you do when you descale a machine. See DESCALING
Section. The Ultra 250, 600 and 1300 models require 1 to 2 gallons of fluid to
completely fill the coils and water system. When you are ready to resume using
the machine, flush thoroughly and dispose of the anti-freeze carefully before
heating the system.
DESCALING PROCEDURE:
1.) Obtain THERMA-KLEEN® descaling compound from your salesman or use
equivalent product. Only use THERMA-KLEEN® recommended product safe for
aluminum coils.
2.) Place in a bucket in concentrated form or mix according to manufacturer’s
instructions. (½ gallon of descalant is needed).
3.) Remove nozzle from the wand.
4.) Turn water supply and pump “ON” as if you were going to start the machine. After
the pump is primed, quickly turn “OFF” the pump and water supply and disconnect
the hose from the water connection and place the garden hose into the bucket
along with the wand end.
5.) Quickly turn “ON” the pump and let the solution circulate through the machine for
about five (5) minutes. Flush the unit with clear water before starting the machine.
6.) If you are winterizing the unit, 1 gallon is needed for the Ultra 250 & 600 and 2
gallons of liquid is needed for the Ultra 1300. Watch for the solution to exit the
wand. Quickly shut- off the pump.
MAINTENANCE OF PUMPS:
ULTRA 250:
The pumps used on these models are factory sealed. When replacing a pump or motor it
is necessary to re-lubricate the plunger and bearings. Use synthetic grease with PTFE.
We recommend this brand: Super Lube. Check for sufficient lubrication as a
maintenance procedure to extend the life of your pump and motor. Repair a pump as
needed to prevent damage to the motor and/or bearing. Check the pump pressure on a
regular basis.
All pumps:
The warranty will be void if you do the following:

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250
January 15, 2019
13
1.) If you don’t flush the unit with fresh water after each day’s use.
2.) If you attempt to mix dry powder chemical in solution feed.
3.) If you fail to properly install kit components or modify kit.
4.) If you use chemicals greater than 9 PH OR LESS THAN 6 PH.
5.) If you re-wire the motor incorrect and the motor runs backwards.
6.) If you use water that is hotter than 140˚F.
7.) Run the pump dry, causing cavitation.
MAINTENANCE OF MOTORS:
ULTRA 250:
The bearings are pre-lubricated. Periodic maintenance to assure enough
lubrication is recommended.
The motor is equipped with and AUTOMATIC thermal protector to guard against
overheating and will trip if it gets too hot.
FULL LOAD AMPS:
Ultra 250: 3.4 amps on 220 volts and 6.8 amps on 115 volts
MAINTENANCE: If the opening around the needle valve stem becomes clogged, clean
valve stem and passage way with warm soapy water. Rotate the control knob assembly
counter clockwise (which includes the control knob and needle valve stem) until it can be
lifted out of the body. Inspect valve stem O-ring and replace if necessary. Install control
knob assembly by pushing down firmly on knob and turning clockwise until it is in the
closed position. Set injector to desired setting.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE:
WHEN YOU GET THE “CLICK” BUT THE UNIT DOES NOT IGNITE:
1.) Make sure water is flowing through nozzle end of wand. The unit will not light if
the gun valve is in the closed position. Unit will light faster if nozzle is removed
before lighting, this speeds up removal of any air locks.
2.) Check to verify that propane tank is not empty and that the propane tank valve is
open.
3.) Check water supply to ensure adequate flow to unit. Your unit requires at least 20-
30 lbs. of water line pressure, or the machine will not operate, a safety feature of
your unit.
4.) Check to make sure nozzle is totally clear of obstructions.

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250
January 15, 2019
14
5.) Check to see that your gas reading is NOT MORE than three or four pounds of
pressure. Too much pressure will also prohibit lighting.
6.) Check for spark at pilot burner:
b.) Is spark electrode hooked up? (This is the red nipple attached to the control
module.)
c.) Is the burner grounded on the coil? If it is then re-position coil away from
the burner.
d.) Is the spark ceramic cracked or chipped or cable damaged? If so, replace the
pilot assembly.
e.) Check gap to see if it is 0.1”. The spark gas is part of the pilot assembly
housing.
f.) If there is still no spark, replace the control module.
7.) Make sure your burner system in unit is not wet.
8.) Check to see if pilot is lit.
CAUTION: NEVER LOOK DOWN THE CYLINDER TO CHECK FOR THE PILOT
a. To check this, put a mirror under the body of the machine to
view the burner area. If there is a pilot, go to step 10.
b. Check for a clogged pilot orifice.
a. Remove the thin coupler line and unscrew the pilot
orifice from the pilot assembly. Two very little holes should be clear
upon inspection up to a good light source. If not, then replace.
9a.) Check for supply of gas, if there isn’t any then get propane tank filled or check for
obstructions in gas lines or regulator. Fuel pressure gauge should never be run
higher than 6 lbs. of fuel pressure, the burner can become flooded and not allow
ignition.
9b.) Check to see if pilot solenoid is opening by connecting the wires to an alternate 24-
volt source. (For example, lines three through six on the terminal strip. Touch one
wire to this source and the other wire to a ground.) You should hear the “click” or
the pilot solenoid opening. If you don’t, then replace the solenoid.
10.) If there is a pilot:
a.) Check to see if the flame sensor is red hot, if not, clean or replace the pilot
orifice.
b.) Check if the flame sensor wire is not damaged and hooked up properly. Replace
or go on to “c”.
c.) Check for cracked flame sensor. Removing the flame sensor will give you an
accurate view of any chips or cracks to the flame sensor. If you find these, then
replace the sensor. Tighten just slightly past hand tight.

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250
January 15, 2019

WHEN YOU DO NOT GET THE “CLICK”
PROCESS TO CHECK IGNITION SYSTEM BY A TESTER OR METER:
1.) Turn the pump and ignition switch to the “ON” position with the unit plugged in.
The gas tank should NOT be hooked up to the machine at this time.
2.) Make sure the wand control is open and water is flowing through the machine.
3.) Check for 24 volts at the transformer. (Left side of the transformer as you face it.)
If there is no voltage reading, change the transformer.
4.) To check for 24 volts on the terminal strip, start on line 4. Touch one wire of the
volt meter to the wire on the terminal strip at position four and the other wire on a
ground or neutral wire. If you get a reading, then go on to line five and continue
until the power is interrupted. Every switch has 2 wires, one accepting the power,
and the other feeding back from the switch after it has been energized. Once the
faulty switch is determined, then replace.
TEMPERATURE RISES TOO QUICKLY
1.) The air has not been purged from the system. Shut down and allow air to escape.
To speed up this process, take the nozzle off and turn the pump “ON” and “OFF” a
few times. Once there is a steady stream of water and there is no sputtering, then
the pump should run smoothly also. Replace nozzle, turn on pump and machine
should be ready to light. IF YOU LIGHT THE MACHINE AND HEAT AN AIR POCKET,
YOU COULD BLOW A COIL. CAUTION IS ADVISED.
FUSES KEEP BLOWING
1.) If your circuit trips, then move to a different outlet. You may be overloading that
circuit.
2.) If the fuse on the machine is blowing again and again, you most likely have a
problem with either your pump or motor, or you may be using too long of an
extension cord. Try not to exceed 50 ft. of heavy-duty extension cord. Or you may
be using the wrong size fuse. Check the machine specification table for correct
fuse size.
PILOT BURNER DOESN’T SHUT OFF
1. The pilot solenoid may have debris in the valve not allowing it to close all the way.
To repair: Remove any debris that may be lodged in the brass section of the valve.
EXCESS CARBON FORMS ON COILS
1.) Check position of coils to insure clear area around top of burner.

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250
January 15, 2019
16
2.) Mushroom section on the top of the burner may be loose and therefore shifted.
Replace burner if this piece can be moved by hand.
3.) Inspect burner for debris in opening. If nothing is found, replace burner.
GAS FLAME GOES OUT OR IS IRREGULAR
NOTE: Various safety features will turn gas off automatically.
1.) If there is inadequate or fluctuating water pressure supply to the machine.
2.) If the unit overheats or rises on temperature to the red line on the temperature
gauge.
3.) If internal gas pressure is too high.
4.) If you have a weak pilot or a cracked flame sensor rod.
WAIT 30 seconds for automatic re-ignition. If re-ignition does not occur, or if
machine shuts repeatedly, check the following:
a. Reduce LP gas pressure to reduce temperature by turning knob on the
gas regulator counter-clockwise.
b. Check nozzle for restrictions and clean.
c. Check water supply for adequate flow, check for leaks at fitting and
incoming water pressure.
d. Remove pilot orifice and clean dirt out.
e. Inspect and/or replace flame sensor rod, if cracked.
f. Make sure the propane tank was not overfilled.
UNIT DOES NOT BURN HOT ENOUGH
1.) Check for max. setting on the temperature gauge. The knob may be adjusted
downward. Keep red line @ 340˚.
2.) Adjust LP gas regulator upward to a higher temperature by turning knob clockwise.
3.) Check fuel supply. The fuel pressure may be dropping due to the tank freezing.
Change to a second tank.
4.) Check and make sure mushroom top on burner is secure and will not turn freely. If
it does, replace.
5.) Burner may be blacked partially and not allowing enough gas supply to burn
evenly. Check flame color around mushroom. Inspect the flame with a mirror
under the machine to view burner area. If only a partial flame is visible, then
replace the burner.
HOSE MAINTENANCE:
The hose that is included with you Ultra 250 Machine is designed to run continuously at
240-260ᵒF ( 121-126ᵒC) with the fan nozzle and 300ᵒF (149ᵒC) with the blast nozzle. If

Ultra Propane - Ultra 250
January 15, 2019
17
you are going to exceed those temperatures, you need to purchase a higher rated
temperature hose for a truer dry steam application. An example of this is when you are
trying to maintain 330ᵒF (165ᵒC) for a long period of time. This is not a typical
application for these machines.
1. This is a wire braded hose, DO NOT exceed a bend radius of 2 inches.
2. Replace all worn or damaged hoses.
3. Check all “O” rings regularly and replace as necessary.
