Summer means a few things, its hot! your truckmounts get even hotter, typically business slows down for the carpet cleaners, and business picks up for the restoration guys. The one thing out of that list that you can control (to an extent) is your truckmount getting hot. Here are just a few tips to keep them cool:
1. Open side and rear doors as wide as possible and clear as much equipment out of your van as possible to generate cross ventilation through your van.
2.Install a roof vent in the van to help the machine "breathe" better.
3. Think about installing or utilizing a "through the floor exhaust kit" which moves the exhaust from your machine to be directed through the floor of the van instead of straight out.(makes it cooler on you to)
4.If you have a liquid cooled machine make sure that your coolant level is where it should be.
5. And lastly, if you know that your customer is a talker shut the machine down while you are conversing instead of letting the unit sit at an idle.
Hope these tips help, and i know that allot of you already know these things but a reminder always helps.
I almost forgot the most important thing KEEP YOURSELF COOL!
