INSPECTION:

Carefully unpack and inspect your TORRENT for shipping damage. Each machine is tested and in-

spected before shipping. Any shipping damage is the responsibility of the carrier. You should notify

the carrier immediately if you notice damage to the box or to the machine or parts.

CLEANING SOLUTIONS:

Select a proper pre-spray for the surface to be cleaned, and apply the pre-spray. Use a neutral pH

rinse or detergent (5 to 10 pH) in the Torrent to prevent premature wear of the pump, seals, and

other components. Damage caused by the use of improper or strong chemicals is not covered by

warranty. Powders are not recommended.

MAINTENANCE:

For optimum performance, ﬂush the machine with clear water at the end of each working day.

Once a month, minimum, run a ﬂushing compound through the machine to break up any mineral or

chemical build-up that may have formed.

Your Torrent is supplied with an HT Technology Triplex Plunger Pump, speciﬁcally designed to handle

rigorous duty cycles and high temperatures. Seal life is expected to be 3000 hours.

This pump has an oil-bath crankcase, and a sight gauge is provided so you can view the oil level

through a small opening in the front of the base compartment, directly below the ammeter gauge.

The proper ﬁll level is shown by a red dot. Oil changes are recommended every 300 hours, and on

new machines an initial oil change is recommended at ﬁfty hours. Use SAE-15W-40 oil. See PUMP

MAINTAINENCE for more information. Note that the hoses above the ﬁll port are on quick discon-

nects to simplify service.

Vacuum motors typically require brush replacement between 500 - 1000 hours.

Clean the body with an all purpose detergent, and protect it with an automobile interior polish. Lu-

bricate the wheels, castors, and quick disconnects with an all-purpose silicone spray.

FRONT PANEL: (refer to Figure 2)

Pressure Gauge: Measures outlet pressure of high pressure pump in pounds per square inch (psi).

Ammeter: Allows precise adjustment of the pump outlet pressure without overloading the pump mo-

tor. Proper adjustment for maximum pressure is at the break line between green and yellow.

NOTE: Since voltage can vary from one power outlet to another, setting the pressure adjustment

based on amp draw will extend the life of the motor by keeping the current within the correct range.

Pressure Adjustment Knob – Adjusts outlet pressure between 400 – 1200 psi. Note: you must

trigger the tool and spray to see adjustment of pressure. Clockwise increases and counterclockwise

decreases pressure. Let the pump run for about one minute, then adjust the pump using the ammeter

for maximum pressure (set at the break line between green and yellow). For lower pressure, down to

400 psi, simply turn the knob counterclockwise - while spraying - and watch the pressure gauge.

High Pressure Quick Disconnect – Attachment for high pressure solution line.

Auto-Dump Hose Fitting – Male garden hose ﬁtting to attach dump hose.

Direct Feed-Hose Fitting – Female garden hose ﬁtting to attach the direct water feed-hose.

The feed hose has a chemical siphon system and backﬂow preventer at the faucet end of hose.

Oil Level View Port - Allows viewing of the pump oil level sight-gauge.

SWITCH PLATE CONTROLS: (refer to Figure 1)

Vacuum I Switch (1): Turns on/off vacuum motor I.

Vacuum II Switch (2): Turns on/off vacuum motor II.

1. Before each use, inspect the machine, hoses, and cleaning tools for cleanliness and completeness.

Make sure hoses are in good condition and the spray nozzle(s) is tight.

2. Connect direct water feed hose (supplied with chemical feed and back ﬂow preventer) to the water

supply and to the machine. NOTE: see instructions on the following page for auto-ﬁll and chemical

injection.

3. Install the dump hose onto the brass hose ﬁtting on the front of the machine, and place the open

end of the hose in a drain. Add defoamer to the recovery tank. Foaming can be persistent with

hand ﬂoor cleaning; consider using defoamer (a dry ﬂake works very well) applied directly to ﬂoor

surface after the pre-spray and before the high pressure rinse. Make sure the recovery tank drain

hose is closed and the lid is tight on the recovery tank.

4. Connect the solution hose to the 1200 PSI Quick Disconnect on the front of the machine, and

attach the tool to be used to the other end of the hose. NOTE: Always attach the solution hose

before you turn the pump on.

5. Attach one end of the vacuum hose to the hose barb on the front of the recovery tank and the

other end of the hose to the cleaning tool.

6. Turn on the water supply. NOTE: see instructions on the following page for auto-ﬁll & chemical

injection.

7. Plug in the left power cord (as viewed from behind the machine). Plug the other cord into another

outlet. Do not connect both cords to the same outlet. The green, smart circuit locator light on the

switch plate should light up. If the green locator light does not come on, check the circuit breaker

box in the wall, and/or try different outlets until it does turn on. Although all systems in the

machine may work correctly if you are not on two circuits, a circuit breaker in a wall panel may trip;

if you make sure the green light is turned on, you will prevent tripped circuit breakers.

8. Pre-spray the area to be cleaned with a pump-up sprayer, or use a mop.

9. Point the tool in the proper direction. Turn on the high pressure pump.

CAUTION: Make sure the solution line and tool are attached before turning the pump

on. Extreme pressure will build up, and if the solution line and tool are not attached

before starting the pump, you will have to open the machine and manually release the

pressure by turning the bleeder value (mounted on the pump assembly) counter-clockwise.

10. Adjust the pump outlet pressure by turning the pressure adjustment cap. 400 -- 1200 psi.

NOTE: do not adjust the pump above 1200 psi.

11. Turn on the vacuum and the dump pump. Begin cleaning NOTE: the dump pump will automatically

turn on and off as the tank ﬁlls and empties.

12. When the job is ﬁnished, turn off the pumps and vacuums.

13. Run a few gallons of clean water through the system. Completely drain the recovery tank by placing

the dump hose over a drain, or a bucket, and removing the cap. Disconnect the hoses from the

cleaning tool.

14. Unplug the power cords.

15. Clean the machine and the tool.

DANGER: Do NOT use any chemicals that may be ﬂammable, explosive, or combustible.

CAUTION: Use care when handling hazardous chemicals.

CAUTION: Never leave the pump running when you are not actively using it.

SMART CIRCUIT LOCATOR

The green light will show the operator when the two cords are plugged into separate circuits. This helps to

prevent tripping circuit breakers.

NOTE: when one cord is plugged in, the green light will be on dimly.

NOTE: if the green, circuit locator light does not illuminate when both cords are plugged in, then both

cords are on the same circuit. Try other outlets with one of the cords until you get the locator light to come

on.

OPERATION

TORRENT - FORM NO. 56041838 - 7

AUTO-FILL:

Without Chemical Injection:

Simply connect one end of the water supply hose to a convenient water supply, and connect the other

end to the water inlet ﬁtting on the machine. NOTE: hot water cleans better than cold water. When

all set-up and ready to begin cleaning, turn on the water supply.

With Chemical Injection:

Chemical Supply:

Place the container of concentrated chemical cleaner -- use a product with a pH between 6 and 10 to

avoid premature pump wear, which would void the warranty -- in a sink or near the water supply.

Insert the end of the clear tubing with the foot valve attached into the chemical container.

NOTE: the ceramic weight at the foot valve will keep the valve at the bottom of the container.

Connect the chemical injector to the threads on a water supply (utility sink, garden hose). Bring the

clear tubing from the chemical container to the metering tip.

PUMP MAINTENANCE:

Oil Change:

The ﬁrst oil change is required after the ﬁrst 50 hours of use. Impurities will get into the oil during

the break-in phase, and it is necessary to change the oil to remove the contamination that can lead

to premature pump wear. After this initial oil change, we recommend changing the oil in the pump

every three months or 300 hours of use.

NOTE: in locations with high humidity and/or wide, daily temperature ranges, it is possible for

some condensation to appear inside the pump crankcase. Condensation is evident if the oil looks

white and/or milky. While a small amount of condensation in the crankcase is not a problem, a

large amount of water in the oil (20% or more of the liquid is water) requires oil changes more

frequently.

NOTE: the pump in your Torrent is in the front of the base compartment. The drain plug is located

on the left side of the pump, near the bottom. The dip stick (and oil ﬁll port) is on the top of the

pump. The front of the pump contains an Oil Level Indicator that can be seen through a hole in the

front of the base compartment. The indicator is a clear view window with a yellow plate showing. A

red dot in the center of the yellow plate indicates the oil ﬁll mark. The oil level should be at or just

slightly above the red dot.

NOTE: It is a good idea to run the pump for a few minutes before changing the oil, but be sure to

unplug the machine before you begin the process of changing the oil.

Use 11.8 ounces of SAE 15W-40 oil in your pump. Follow the steps below to correctly change

the oil in your Torrent pump.

1. Unplug the machine. Put the machine on a plastic sheet to protect the ﬂooring surface from oil.

2. Open the latch and raise the tank. Prop the tank open so your hands are free to work on

the pump. Move the two hydraulic hoses that pass over the pump out of the way

by disconnecting them at the quick disconnects at unloader valve assembly.

3. Place a two-cup or larger container under the hole in the base, at the front of the machine, to

catch the oil as it drains from the pump.

4. Loosen the dip stick.

5. Loosen and remove the plug in the bottom of the left side of the pump. Let the oil drain out

until the pump is empty.

6. Remove the dip stick. NOTE: take care not to let oil drip onto the pump or other components.

7. Pour a few ounces of fresh oil into the pump, at the dip stick hole, and let it drain through to

ﬂush out any impurities. Be careful not to spill any oil on the pump or elsewhere.

8. Replace the pump drain plug. Tighten.

9. Carefully pour about 11 ounces of fresh oil into the pump. Give it a little time to settle.

10. While watching the oil level at the Oil Indicator window (on the front of the pump head),

carefully pour a little more oil into the pump until the level reaches the red dot in the window.

11. Once the oil has reached the correct level, install the dip stick.

12. Clean up any/all oil that may have spilled or dripped inside the base of the machine.

13. Let the tank down. Move the machine away from the oil in the container on the ﬂoor.

14. Clean up any oil that has spilled. Pick up the container of drained oil, the plastic sheet, the oil

container(s) and dispose of all of it according to environmental regulations.
