Well I found the problem. Ice in the pump. It got so cold everything was frozen today. Water hose, water box and the pump. It took a hour on my first job to get the machine going. Put a small heater in the van and drained everything for tonight.
Welcome to OUR world, out here in the plains and Midwest and Northeast. It's just part of everyday business practise here to get that unit protected in some way. It's your money-maker! I, of course, have a 3000+ sf shop with infrared heaters. The van goes into the shop every nite that the temp will dip below 32*. I just don't want to take a chance. Meat had a good idea (for those cc'ers that have ocational cold nights) a few posts ago. Fire up that TM, put it under load, let it run 15 minutes or so to get to full operating temp, shut it down and cover it, and throw in a ceramic heater. If you get a full freeze, and lose your HX'ers and water system plumbing, it's going to cost you a bundle. Not to mention your hoses, which are setting on the van floor most likely, and wand valves and sprayers. I don't lose sleep anymore (after 25 + years of owning my own equipment) worrying about freeze-ups. Remember, if you have a freeze up, and you successfully thaw it out, there may be cracked or hairline cracked fittings in your system, ready to blow when warmed up.
Last image is BEFORE I filled the shop up with.......shit! My Son's think it's their personal storage garage!
