I agree with other statements - need to learn to crack the bypass, let it empty the hot water out of the machine (it will still read 150-200 in the water box but trust me it is a lot cooler than that in the machine when cranking open the bypass) and then throttle down and let it idle for 30 seconds before turning machine off. You will keep the machine much longer this way. Also fog the blower with WD-40
You shut it down hot? I usually idle all the way down and crack the bypass until the gauge goes down to 150 or so and then turn the throttle until it starts to rev then turn off.
This video revolutionized the way I pre heat our 370! The funnel is mint! Do you run a 6 flow wand? I'm considering trying an 8 flow to really transfer all that hot water from the TM to the carpets fast....thanks again
This job was small enough to where the pre spray wasn't going to dry.. I can usually do about 800 feet or so without having to worry about it drying on the normal day
I break down my equipment slowly but first disconnect my vac line, relieving pressure from just under peak/red line . Usually it will then idle at 1100-1300, I keep my vac filters clean. I put away all my remaining equip with water pressure still on, 500psi (what I usually clean at). As a good ten minutes or so go by, depending on circumstances I will then kill water pressure bleeder valve water has cooled down through the lines and machine as well as cooled motor not leaving it hot , unless last clean and greasing vac motor I don’t mind killing little warm because had wd40. I don’t pull full throttle until I’m about to start clean, last and first thing I do, I make sure my mount is prime and taken care of for longevity. Check and or clean filters regularly lubricant anything needed and ensure machine continuity take care of your tools with minor maint
Good information Mike. Jam packed full of helpful tips and information
Great video, Mike! I like the funnel idea.

Genius Mike!!!! Appreciate the information brother 😊
Can u leave carburetor fueled open full throttle or just fuel injection
Wow...what a view.!!!!... great video aswell, good stuff mate..!!!
Great info !
These videos make me a better cleaner on the technical side.
Me too
I'd be curious to see what a temp gauge at the wand would show?
So is the "new" Fancy version any better?

Both, give 8 a try, just dont drain the water box by staying on the trigger too long
Than you i did learn something new
Good info.
I noticed you said you sprayed down all the rooms 1st. Do you then respray as you’re working so that your prespray doesn’t dry?

Thank you!!!!

In the video he def getting his mount warm but giving applying excessive unneeded torque and pressure on motor.
I like those wheels. What brand are they?
Raceline, not many choices for the Transits

I wish they still made the 370 with the 20hp Kohler. Better fuel efficiency than the 23hp, and plenty of heat.
You don't need to cremate the carpet to clean it 😁
