My Truck Mount Setup

[SRI Cleaning]

You would put antifrieze in it only when it is sitting outside in the winter so your pump and lines dont freeze and crack. Yeah basically coolant. On the engine heat exchanger there should be a pipe niple that points down and is plumbed out the bottom of the van. It will be a nice and reliable setup once tweaked.

to keep the solution lines from freezing in the cold months

and carbon Monoxide is always a problem with slide ins...be careful.

Ok, that is an old 1500 I believe, with a 36 roots( the blower size),and they went with a muffler instead of the silencer,so put that thing aside till you need it some day. 5000, did that include the van?,if so, then it wasnt that bad of a deal, and I bet that motor is cast iron so it can be rebuilt a few times.Just get some training and go make a few dollars.

Ok, now I know you are full of it. Kirby? are you kidding me? For real business carpet cleaning? Come on?

 

[lesterj2]

no im serious i have used it lots of times for jobs but it is a pain in the neck... to keep having to refill the supply jug, LOL..

 

[Greenie]

New van, new machine, new process, perfect time for a New Name and reinvent yourself.
When is your first Carpet Cleaning Tech class?
I'm thinking depending on exactly where you are at, Truckmounts and Cleaning Solutions has classes.
CCT first followed bu UFT (Upholstery), and then the Odor Control class (OCT).

What do you have for tools, Carpet wand etc...?

 

[Carpet Dude]

Like Greenie said, change the name while your at it.
Affordable means crappy in a customers head.

 

[glenboy]

anti freeze so you can store it outside in da winter

 

[lesterj2]

how do i run the antifreeze/coolant through the system...

 

[SRI Cleaning]

You out the chemical draw tube (that is usually in your chem tank) into a container of antifreeze, and flip the switch on the front of your amchine to winterize and spary your wand until antifreeze starts coming out.

 

[glenboy]

dont sit in the van while machine is running and dont point that muffler at or near a custys house you can suck exhaust into a home esp if air is on in home and standing near the muffler can get you really sleepy real fast

 

[Greenie]

Ya know I just can't get that big silencer out of my head.....that unit must have been pretty loud for someone to pay for that large of a silencer and bother installing it, welding it etc...

How loud is it now?

louder than a lawn mower on full throttle, 1.5X that? etc...?

 

[lesterj2]

its loud but not that loud that a customer wouldnt want you back in the neighborhood because of noise complaints...
ill take a video of it running tomorrow...

 

[Greenie]

Got that vid yet?

how about showing us some Vapooooooooooooooor Steam! while you are at it.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

That's a big Stoddard silencer, worth a couple hundred dollars by itself. However the nature of silencers dictates that smaller silencers reduce noise better than larger ones. The red one in the pix is very mis-matched to that 36 blower. Was probably a disappointment to the buyer at the time. It would rock on a 47 or larger, ideal for a 56.
