Packing List: C3XP Unit Spray gun w/ 2 settings 12-volt battery Telescoping handle Removable Cleaning Caddy Pivot arm Utility Bag 10 Gallon water reservoir (integral) 17 ft. discharge hose (installed) Battery charger Instruction manual 18 floor squeegee Pivot arm lock bar w/locking nut Initial Setup: The battery is shipped installed and charged, but not connected to the pump. To connect the battery, remove the back cover by removing the four screws with a phillips head screwdriver. Connect terminal on the black wire to the black terminal on the battery. If the pump begins to run, turn the unit off with the switch on the front. Put the back cover back onto the unit by replacing the four screws with a phillips head screwdriver. Attach the spray gun to the discharge hose. Attach plastic pivot arm to front of machine, install pivot arm lock bar through the pivot arm and the C3XP machine, attach and tighten locking nut. (see picture on front of manual for reference) Remove utility bag from plastic and install onto pivot arm with attached straps. Install utility bag with zippers facing away from machine. Remove the black cap from the water fill port (it rotates COUNTER CLOCK WISE to open). Fill the tank to line (10.1 gallons) with cool clear tap water. To connect the chemicals, remove the shipping cap, slide bottle into machine with the bottle opening to the outside of the machine and attach the chemical feed line to the bottle by screwing the cap on the line onto the bottle. 1 of 6
Initial Priming: Set the spray gun to the low pressure setting (see attached spray gun instructions). Set the chemical selector to the desired product. (see diagram at bottom of page) [IN ORDER FOR THE MACHINE TO INITIALLY PRIME CORRECTLY, YOU MUST PRIME WITH Cleaning Companion PRODUCT IN USE] Turn the switch on. The power switch is lighted when it is in the on position. The pump should run for a short time then stop. (There is a pressure switch in the pump that will stop the pump when the discharge pressure reaches the set point). Direct the spray nozzle into a drain or other container and pull the trigger. Run until a steady spray pattern is established. Release the trigger. The pump should stop almost immediately. If it does not, operate the unit longer as it is not fully primed. Turn the selector to the other products and repeat. Normal Operation: The power switch is lighted when it is in the on position. The pump will run when the trigger on the spray gun is pulled and stop when it is released. The C3 is designed to use a low pressure setting for applying the cleaning/disinfecting solution and high pressure setting for clear water rinsing. The new C3 rollover valve achieves the low pressure setting by sending water through 2 spray tips and achieves the high pressure setting by only utilizing the one high pressure tip. When finished using the C3 machine, make sure the spray gun is left in the high pressure (rinse) position to minimize dripping. Detailed instructions for spray gun operation are contained at the end of this manual. The pump will run for approximately 3 hours on a fully charged battery. The charger cannot be used to run a C3 that has a fully discharged battery. To select which chemical you would like to use, point selector switch to desired chemical using arrow on selector switch. (See Diagram Below) To select the rinse mode, place selector switch arrow to the position that is straight up from the chemicals. (See Diagram Below) 2 of 6
Charging the Unit: The charger will recharge a fully discharged battery (pump will not run) overnight (10-12 hours). To charge, plug the charger into a wall outlet and then plug the 12 volt lead into the 12 volt receptacle on the dashboard of the C3XP. The charger is charging the battery when the light on the charger is on. The C3 XP has a battery meter installed on the unit. When all of the bars make a complete half circle, the machine is charged. Always keep the C3XP charger plugged into the C3XP when not in use. This will not overcharge the battery and will help lengthen the life of the battery. Included on the battery gauge is an hour meter. The hour meter helps identify when the machine is being used and when to perform routine maintenance. The hour meter only runs when the pump is running. The hour meter will not add hours when the switch is left on. Maintenance: Daily: 1. Run 1-2 gallons of clear water through the pump while the selector is in the rinse position (approximately 2 to 4 minutes). NOTE: FAILURE TO RINSE THE PUMP AFTER USE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE PUMP. Periodic: 2. Rinse both spray nozzles and accessories while you are rinsing the pump. 3. Turn the unit off with the switch. Relieve the pressure in the discharge hose by pulling the trigger on the spray gun after the switch has been turned off. 4. Check the unit for any damage or leakage. 5. Charge the unit when not in use 6. If unit is going to be stored where it can freeze, drain the water reservoir and run the pump until there is no more water in the system. Allow the system to thaw before you start the pump. 1. Soak both spray tips in Hillyard Extra Strength CSP to help minimize tip blockage and protect the pump from excessively cycling the pressure switch. 2. Remove water supply line from the bottom of the tank and clean inlet screen located within the foot valve. 3 of 6
Troubleshooting: 1. If the spray is weak or there is no spray. The pump does not operate at full flow if there is air in the system. Air can enter the system from several sources: a. Out of water fill the water reservoir and prime the system. b. Out of chemical replace the chemical container and prime the system. c. Foot valve is clogged clean or replace the foot valve in the reservoir. To access the foot valve, remove water fill cap and pull tube out of the tank. 2. Pump pulses. There is a pressure switch in the pump. If the pump is pulsing, this switch is cycling and the life of the pump will be greatly reduced. If the pressure switch is cycling, you will hear the pump sounding irregular and the pump will be shutting on and off very quickly. Normally, this is caused by blocked spray tips. Please follow this progression when addressing a pulsing pump: a. Make sure there are absolutely no air leaks in the system. b. Make sure chemical caps are screwed tightly. c. Make sure all connections are tight and there are no water leaks in the system. d. Make sure you are properly primed and have chemical running through the system. e. Soak tips in Hillyard Extra Strength CSP overnight and rinse, this will help remove scale and mineral deposits. f. You may have to remove debris by using a small paper clip into the tip and rinse (this is delicate process, using too aggressive of techniques can ultimately damage the spray pattern and performance of the spray tips). g. The switch can be adjusted and may be necessary to help the pump run more smoothly. Adjust pressure switch as a last option, serious damage can occur by adjusting the pressure switch. It is best to have the switch adjusted by taking to a professional service department. To adjust the switch, remove the blue cover. In the black end of the pump there is a hole. Using a 5/64 hex wrench, turn the screw in the hole CW until the pump operates smoothly. Then turn it an additional ½ turn. Over adjustment will overload the pump and cause the pump life to be shortened. 4 of 6
Hillyard C3 and C3XPTM Spray Gun Use Instructions The C3 and C3XP are designed to use a low pressure setting for applying the cleaning/disinfecting solution and high pressure setting for clear water rinsing. The rollover valve achieves the low pressure setting by sending water through 2 spray tips and achieves the high pressure setting by only utilizing the one high pressure tip. Water Rinse - High Pressure Setting NOZZLE GUN BODY Top View Turn the black knob on the rollover valve to the right until it stops. Rinse water will flow only out of the bottom high pressure tip as pictured. Rinse Water Flows From Bottom Only (High Pressure) Chemical Application - Low Pressure Setting NOZZLE GUN BODY Top View Turn the black knob one full turn to the left from the rinse position, solution will flow from both tips as pictured. Mixed Cleaning Solution Flows From Both Nozzles (Low Pressure) Note: The knob will keep turning to the left for several turns but you only need to turn one turn to the left from rinse to send the solution through both spray tips. 5 of 6
