    Advice For Winter / Cold Weather Storage Of Equipment

    Great ideas Douglas! I'm thinking of easier ways to antifreeze my machine. Right now, I run a short garden hose with a funnel on it on the inlet and fill it up with antifreeze. Then I start the machine and rush to get the antifreeze bucket up to the funnel before I run the pump dry. Another...

    Advice For Winter / Cold Weather Storage Of Equipment

    Finally got the signature thing figured out, LOL! I'm about 45 min from Tulsa. It's 32 degrees here, so I keep it antifreezed for sure. Colder at night. I clean restaurants for the most part, and I service and sell restaurant fire suppression systems and extinguishers. Nice little gig! Must be...

    Advice For Winter / Cold Weather Storage Of Equipment

    I keep my unit inside an unheated shop. I hook a small hose with a funnel on the inlet and pour some antifreeze in it. I turn the machine on and keep pouring antifreeze until it comes out the end of my 100ft hose. When I get to the job, I hook my water hose up and run the antifreeze back into a...

    "Undesirable" jobs?

    Lol! I definitely dread going to work for someone with no money. I do KEC, and I always get that customer that waits too long in between service. They usually get mad when I tell them the price, and I have to remind them that my price quote was for every 3 months. KEC is the worst, and there is...

    Refueling Hot Engine

    Good tip Mark. It's very tempting to fill your tank while the machine is hot, or even worse with the machine still running. If you need to refuel, it's time to take a break!

    Hood Cleaning

    3 tips. High pressure, high heat, and good chemical. Besides that, make sure you cover everything in plastic, under and around the hood. If they don't have good drains, funnel the water into a trash can or get a good 2 stage vacuum to pick up the water. I have a good vacuum personally. It has a...
