This is a short tutorial on how to operate, maintain and start up your Panther TM. The truckmount used in this video is our Panther 20; however all Panther models will be maintained the same.
CAUTION: DO NOT run or operate this or any unit without the protective covers!

Do you know any Panther tm operators?

@@runzization hi I have seen a guy once he did love joy coupler and few mods and was happy.

@@OptusCarpetCleaning thanks for response I'll check out your channel. btw what tm do you use? I'm from UpNorth near Lake Mi was using small Propane heater (unheated garage)

Got cut off, small Propane heater in van, antifreeze through water lines, pump, exchanger when parked

The coupler sleeve was badly aligned with mine. It wore out prematurely and had to buy another one and align it myself and it lasted 10× longer compared to the one installed and aligned from factory. The water pump is a nightmare to adjust if you want to align it and tighten the belt to high tolerance such as a vehicle belt system. Naver really understood the point of the metering block and the adjustment knob. It is a headache to replace the warer pump belt as you have to adjust and tighten at the same time. And you have to adjust the motor to the blower so the sleeve will last the longest. The warer pump needs a better mounting system where you can finely adjust it to be perfect with the engine pulley and tighten it easily along with the belt.

Good luck keeping that style oil cap on the Kohler engine. I suggest buying an aluminum valve cover they make for racing go-carts and putting that on. The water coming out that jet into the water box is coming from the pressure pump? Shouldn't the water be filtered before it goes into the pump? And why is it a jet and not just an open hose for the bypassing water from the pump? If the vacuum is set to 15Hg then it well never go higher then 15Hg. It well be closer to 15 Hg without the hose connected if the filters are plugged or if you attach the hose and it goes that high your hose is plugged. The machine well not cool down to shut it off unless you turn down the temperature control. There is no cooling it faster, there is only one way to cool it while it is running. You should never have foam coming out of the wand. If you do then that is what you are leaving in the carpet.

Hello Grant. To answer some of your questions: 1. The oil cap has worked great for many years now unless the end user overfills the oil to the point of blocking the crank case vent. Then the case builds up enough pressure to blow the cap off and strip the threads on the valve cover itself. It can and has also blown out the rear main seal. Just be careful about your oil level. 2. We use a jet in the water box to give a constant regulated flow of water into the box. This accomplished three things. First it allows a constant flow through the heat exchangers past the thermostat and temperature sending units for an accurate reading at the sensors. Second, it allows the water to flow as to not vaporize by boiling in the heat exchangers. (water flowing under pressure can get reach greater temperatures than standing water before boiling) The water hose connection has a pre-filter as well as the water box has a pre-filter before going into the high pressure pump. 3. The vacuum is set at 15Hg by blocking the vacuum off completely at the calibration phase of the testing. Once the system is installed, the maximum vacuum if everything is clogged is 15Hg. if you disconnect the hoses and run the unit with open flow, the vacuum should be around 4Hg. Once you hook up 150ft of 2in hose, a 25ft of 1.5in lead hose and your wand, the unit should be pulling around 9Hg. 4. To cool the machine down, yes turn the thermostat to the OFF position, turn the unit to mid-throttle and squeeze the trigger on the wand. The unit only has to be cooled down below 190 deg f. 5. As far as "Foam" coming out of the wand...we only use soap to test the chemical injection system only. The proper way to use the chemical system is to pre-spray the cleaning solution (soap) with a high pressure sprayer or pump up sprayer. The chemical jug on the unit should contain a fiber rinse and maybe a freshener if the customer wants it. If you have any questions about the engineering principles behind our units, you're more than welcome to contact me at the office.
