Cold Weather Operations Even though it is still freezing outside, your truck mount (except CDS models) still need to breathe. By that I mean that you cannot vent the exhaust outside through the floor, run the hoses outside and then close all the doors and windows and expect your machine not to revolt! It will revolt in a myriad of ways. Some you may not see or notice for some time, but eventually, you will see it. It could be in the form of overheating, cavitation, rough running, blowing of head gaskets, oil leaks, etc. If you happen to have an air- cooled engine, blown head gaskets and possibly even warping of the cylinder are almost a sure bet! These units run HOT! Not just in producing hot water, the surrounding area of the engine and blower can get up to 400 degrees! Another reason to put the pizza boxes, McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's bags and other combustible materials in a waste container and not throw them behind the seat! Your unit must be properly ventilated in order to function properly.These units are delicate, specialized machines. They require the utmost attention and care. Please read through your owner's manual and comply with the manufactures recommended maintenance. You have made a very large investment. If you take care of your investment, it will work its heart out for you and give you many, many hundreds of hours of uninterrupted service.
