(Fig.#8A)

Most other manufacturer's truckmount unit's waterTEMP. GAUGE reads from the Heat Exchanger, notdirectly from the water as it should. In order to get a higher temperature reading, the WATER TEMP, GAUGEis placed near the exhaust, thus, instead of readingfrom the water, temperature is read from the hot airof the exhaust. In this case, the water temperaturegauge is not giving a true water temperature. Thewater might not be as hot as what the temperaturegauge reads.

If there is any chance that you have used unitsthat is similar to the units previously mentioned, youneed to know that our SYMPHONY 400's watertemperature is read directly from the water. Thesensor is located in the water to give a true reading.Thus, you should realize that the reading on the temperature gauge is true and need to control thetemperature based on that.

Temperature Safety ValveSYMPHONY 400 is equipped with TemperatureSafety Valve. If temperature gets too high or if itbecomes unsafe for the unit, the Temp. Safety Valvewill open up to release hot water to the RECOVERY TANK to prevent damage to the unit and other parts.

When the Temp. Safety valve opens, you will not haveany water pressure on the wand (water will not spray).The Temp. Safety Valve will not close until the unit or the temperature cools down.

WARNING100º - 185º F IS RECOMMENDED

DO NOT OVERHEAT!!

!

Please note...*140 F is the maximum water temperature fordomestic water heater (homes) & 185 F is the maximumwater temperature for commercial water heater.(Restaurants, hotels, etc...).

WHEN WATER TEMPERATURE IS HIGHER THAN 185 F, IT MAYDAMAGE THE CARPET, HOSES AND THE UNIT ITSELF.DAMAGES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WATER TEMPERATURE WILLVOID ALL WARRANTY.

Four ways to lower the temperature:A. Opening bypass valve on wand or accessories.B. Adjust the diverter valve.C. Use the spray jets with bigger openings on the wand.D. Open the BLEEDER VALVE all the way to release hot water to the recovery tank. (see )

Keep an eye on your water temperature gauge !

Chemical Feed & Mixing System:You may pre-spray your cleaning area with thepre-spray solution prior to extracting or use the CHEMICAL FEED & MIXING SYSTEM to mix in the cleaning solution automatically with water while cleaning.

To use CHEMICAL FEED & MIXING SYSTEM, havea bottle or bucket of cleaning solution ready.If you are using a cleaning chemical in powder form, mix it with water thoroughly and make sure it is fully dissolved; otherwise, powder can clog up the FLOWMETER, spray jets on the wand and other parts on the unit,damaging them in the process.

A. Place the bottle or pail of cleaning solution the side of the unit. Put the end of CHEMICAL FEED LINE all the way to the bottom of the bottle or pail of cleaning solution.

IF CHEMICAL FEED LINE IS NOT FULLY SUBMERGEDIN THE SOLUTION, AIR CAN GET INTO THE CHEMICALFEED AND MIXING SYSTEM AND IT MAY DISABLE THE SYSTEM.

B. Open the ADJUSTABLE FLOWMETER fully by turning it counterclockwise.

IF THERE IS ANY AIR IN THE SYSTEM, YOU WILL SEE AIRBUBBLES IN THE ADJUSTABLE FLOWMETER AND THE BALL INSIDE WILL BE BOBBING UP AND DOWN.THEN, OPEN THE BLEEDER VALVE TO LET THE AIR OUT(TURN IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE), CLOSE IT AFTER ALL THE AIR IS OUT.

C. Adjust the ADJUSTABLE FLOWMETER according to the chart. Mixture rate should be based on the condition of the carpet or upholstery you are cleaning. When setting the FLOWMETER, open the solution valve on the wand.
