My Cleanco, after 15-20 minutes running, is PINNED @ the TM to 240 ( the highest the gauge goes). it’s blazing hot, not measured ATW. I opted for the ‘post thermal increase’ when I ordered it. All I know is, I can’t touch ANY metal parts on my wand at all…. My helper uses a rag to move hoses (goodyear Neptune), and I have issues on almost every job I do. It tattoos almost any carpet it touches. We have learned to keep it moving constantly, and where we can’t move it, we use towels to protect surfaces.
I overspin my rig by about 600 RPMS… and have been doing that for over 7 years.
Yeah, I know ‘you’re going to crater the machine’…. Well, it’s been over 5800 hours , and nothing yet…
Shut up Marty. I run it like I like it, my machine, MY CHOICE.
