Tool box, rags, tarps, sealadoor, flat mops, multi sprayer, takes..

Where do they go?

Tarps on dash, I use a hydroforce it's in a bucket. Rags and excessories in a plastic container. I don't carry a multi sprayer I have one but barely use it. Rakes behind real with grout brush. I hung the spinner above waste tank.

I'm setting this up for my guys no flat mop.

K so I bumped up the lift so it stays between 12-13, if I want it higher I'll have to add more washers.

But on high it hits about 220 consistently and the hose gets hot.

medium about 195-220.

Feels like it has more vacuum then the 570
On high.

I like the new wand with the glide, I carry a devastator with a holed glide and this with a slot. Super light sucks up everything.

On a brighter note the company charged me $5011.00 for title processing, they ended up selling the note to another company. And the registered it in Oklahoma City. For $10.00, I got a check back for $5001.00

Besides my original $6200 down I haven't made a payment yet and I'm rolling everyday with this bad boy.

This deal keeps getting better!

Only issue so far is my Devastator wand needs a holed glide the vacuum is a little stronger then my 570.

The lift isn't as high, but suck balls it's hard to push the wand sometimes.

I'm friggin old. I need a wuss wand!

Interesting

Better plumbing or faster rpms?


Rpm my guess, or maybe I should try using it on my 570 now that it has 50 feet of 2.5. I don't know.

I switched back to slot for a day and it kicked my butt, my helper Jose looked like he was gonna die too.

That SS wand is light and easy to use.

So no reply from Rick eh?? I'll have to text him.

So today I'm cleaning a house first small job was trying to keep it light.

And this carpet is so dense it's hard to vacuum.

Well we finished I go outside and I smell rubber burning?

Wth is my new pro1200 se on fire????

Why didn't I get a Butler?

Don't say it Saiger!

My guy pulls the vac hoses and holy cow it's starts squealing like a stuck pig!

I panicked thinking broke back
Belt? Clutch or OMG my blower?????

Get to Empire and hour away in Northridge, the tech starts it up YUPP that's sounds nasty, he pulls off the covers
And sure enough.

Everything is great except the small pulley with greased bearing on the tensioner.

One of cased bearing exploded making a dying cat proud.

I was back on the road and home a total round trip and visit of 3 hours, one down, one up, and one to fix. I got some chemicals while I was there.

Besides the heart stopping squeal today, it's a pretty good machine.

So far it's pretty awesome. I know I should let my guys use it and go back to the 570 because I can fix anything that happens on it.

And this is more dummy proof!

But gosh darn it! It's new and I want the new toys.

So sapphire sent a new serpentine belt and pully for the inside the engine clutch.

It's was a free upgrade, can't complain I'll take free.

Had the check engine light go on at 5500 miles, let it sit overnight and it's off.

Probably need to keep the water moving and not let it sit to long?
