4.2 Description of the machine
THE EQUIPMENT FOR WASTE SUCTION AND FOR WASHING MOBILE TOILETS produced by ARMAL Srl is designed
for the suction of waste from mobile toilets and for washing the inside and outside of the same.
Regardless of the model the machine is composed of:
❑ a steel cistern, to contain the waste aspirated from the mobile toilet;
❑ a plastic tank for clean water used to clean the inside and outside of the toilet;
❑ the mechanical group of the devices;
❑ washing and suction hoses and relative accessories.
The equipment manufactured by ARMAL S.r.l. can be fitted with three different types of mechanical group based on the
version (P, T, M). Regardless of the type of assembly, the mechanical group is composed mainly of a rotary vane vacuum
pump (decompressor), a pump for the washing water, the control group and, where applicable, by the internal combustion
engine. The various mechanical groups differ in the method of generating the motive power and in the arrangement of the
components.
The operating principle of the mechanical group is always the same:
Suction -the decompressor (rotary vane vacuum pump) is connected to the cistern by a spiral hose through the trap valve
and the overflow valve, sucking in the air allows the cistern to brought into negative pressure allowing the suction of waste
while by reversing the flow, the internal pressure of the cistern is increased for easier emptying;
All Armal equipment comes with one or two spiral suction hoses 2" in diameter with quick-fit couplings at the ends for
attachment to the cisterns and suction syringes; by means of a special male-to-male connector the quick-fit couplings can
be used join a number of hoses in series. The spiral suction hoses are housed on special shelves.
Washing – by activating the water pump, clean water is taken from the tank which with the possible addition of liquid
detergent, permits cleaning of the toilet using the pressurised spray guns; by adjusting the pressure it is possible to
replenish the liquids in the mobile toilet appliances (hand washing, automatic cleaning system, descaling, ...)
All Armal equipment has either one or two automatic hose reel winders for the clean water washing hoses with a spray
gun attached to the end.

The truck floor should be provided with holes of sufficient diameter and in the right position for the passage of the:
❑ suction syringes;
❑ delivery and return hoses of the hydraulic system from the hydraulic pump connected to the power take-off ( if the
equipment does not have its own independent system with combustion engine);
❑ of the hoses coming from the decompressor;
❑ of the air vent/ overflow of the water tank.
5.3 Connection of the systems
The EQUIPMENT FOR WASTE SUCTION AND WC WASHING has been designed and manufactured so as to be easy
to use on the ground in standalone mode (MH and Basic versions) or installed on a suitable vehicle (all versions). For this
reason it is supplied fully assembled and practically ready for use except for the connections described below.
Connection of the hydraulic system (for P1/P2 and M1/M2/M3 mechanics only)
M1/M2/M3:: the machine is provided with a combustion engine operating the hydraulic pump, no hydraulic connection is
required; the equipment is ready to use and may be turned on after performing the checks required before first start-up.

P1/P2:: the machine is provided without a hydraulic pump, consequently the user must install one connecting it to the
power take-off of the vehicle which the equipment is fitted on.
Such hydraulic pump must have the characteristics indicated in the “TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS”
paragraph, especially as regards the maximum pressure level and capacity.
Depending on the choice of the hydraulic pump, the user must decide at what set point the vehicle engine must be
actuated so as to guarantee the aforesaid pressure and capacity characteristics.
The connection foresees:

❑ connection of the delivery hose of the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic distributor;
❑ connection of the ball valve of the oil tank to the suction intake of the hydraulic pump.
The connections and hoses must have the characteristics indicated in the “TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS”
paragraph as regards size and maximum pressure withstood.
Following connection of the hydraulic system, fill the oil tank with the quantity and type of oil indicated in the “TECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS” paragraph.
Follow the instructions of the hydraulic pump manufacturer as regards the filling of the same with oil,
before turning it on.
ARMAL srl declines any responsibility should the user use a pump or hoses having characteristics other than
those indicated in the “TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS” paragraph for connection of the hydraulic pump.
Connection of the electric ignition system of the combustion engine (if present)
Should the user wish to proceed with connection of the electric ignition of the combustion engine the procedure below
should be followed (see wiring diagram shown in the appendix):
❑ lay a suitable electric power supply line 12Vcc protected by fuse in proximity of the engine;

6.2 Work cycle
Once the machine has been installed, the hydraulic system connected, and set-up performed, the machine is ready to
use.
Operations may be carried out simultaneously by two operators, both of them aspirating waste or both washing;
"combined" use with the decompressor and water pump simultaneously operated is not permitted.
When using the machine operators must use individual protective equipment: gloves, protective footwear,
protective clothing, goggles and earmuffs. During use follow the instructions given in the “SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” chapter.
MACHINE START-UP VERSION WITH PTO

To use the machine, first of all turn on the hydraulic pump connected to the power take-off of the truck; the performance of
this operation depends on how the hydraulic pump has been installed and the power of the same in relation to the revs of
the vehicle engine: consequently see the instructions of the hydraulic pump manufacturer and the workshop which
installed it.
Remember that the hydraulic pump must have the characteristics indicated in the “TECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS” paragraph, especially as regards the maximum pressure level and capacity.
Should the machine have been installed by ARMAL srl on a truck provided with power take-off follow the procedure below:
❑ check that the outflow valve of the hydraulic system oil tank is open;
❑ check that the distributor lever is in the neutral position (or that the radio-controlled system is in the stop position);
❑ turn on the vehicle engine and run it at minimum with the gear in neutral and hand brake on;
❑ press the clutch pedal right down and activate the electric command or lever in the truck cabin operating the power
take-off, the functioning of which is indicated by a light and buzzer, release the clutch.
MACHINE START-UP VERSION WITH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The machine is provided with an auxiliary combustion engine for operating the hydraulic system, proceed as follows:
❑ check that the outlet valve of the oil tank of the hydraulic system is open;
❑ check that the distributor lever is in the neutral position (or that the radio-controlled system is in the stop position);
❑ turn on the auxiliary motor (electric pull start):
o open the fuel tap;
o with the engine cold pull the air (choke control);
o turn the key in the ignition block to “on/run”;
o if necessary tug the pull-start smartly.
❑ increase the revs of the engine to about 1500 rpm using the accelerator positioned on the front of the engine (skip
this step if the vehicle has an optional automatic control for increasing the revs).
STARTING THE MACHINE BASIC VERSION

The machine is provided with an auxiliary combustion engine for operating the equipment by means of a belt transmission
with centrifugal clutch, proceed as follows:
❑ turn on the auxiliary motor (electric pull start):
o open the fuel tap;
o with the engine cold pull the choke;
o turn the key in the ignition block to “on/run”;
o if necessary tug the pull-start smartly.
❑ increase the revs of the engine using the accelerator positioned on the front of the engine until the decompressor
has a sufficient suction force; if the machine is fitted with an automatic rev regulation system, leave the motor
running at minimum, it will automatically change to the required revs at the moment of using the decompressor.
WASTE SUCTION
To aspirate the waste from the mobile toilets, proceed as follows:
❑ check that the valves of the suction syringes are closed;
❑ check that the cistern waste discharge valve is closed;
❑ move the decompressor lever to the suction position;
❑ move the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit to the decompressor-on position – or press the “decompressor”
button on the radio-control unit or push-button control panel- and wait a few seconds for a vacuum to be created
inside the cistern;
❑ unwind the hose, insert the syringe inside the tank of the mobile toilet and open the waste suction valve;
❑ when waste suction is complete, close the syringe valve, wind the hose back onto the supports welded to the cistern
and position the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit in the neutral position – or press the “stop” button on the
radio-control unit or push-button control panel.
Avoid performing waste suction BEYOND THE MAXIMUM LEVEL.
The level of liquid contained in the tank can be seen from the level indicators on the bottom or is shown by
indicator lights on the control panel.
When the level of waste has reached the maximum, stop suction operations immediately and empty the cistern as soon
as possible.
Some versions feature an electronic control that automatically stops the machine when maximum capacity is reached
(machine downtime is signaled by a buzzer, after which suction of a further 50 liters is possible).
To prevent liquids or solids from being aspirated by the decompressor and reaching the rotor of the same, damaging it, an
overflow valve and a siphon valve are added to the suction line.
Should the liquid reach the siphon valve (visible in the lower transparent part) stop suction operations immediately
and check the level of sewage in the cistern, emptying it if necessary; before resuming suction, empty the siphon valve
through the lower tap.
WASHING
To wash the mobile toilets proceed as follows:
❑ check that the outflow valve of the water tank is open;

❑ if the optional heating unit is present and you wish to use hot water, turn the temperature control knob to the desired
value;
❑ position the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit to the water pump-on position- or press the "pump" button on
the radio-control or push-button control panel;
❑ unwind the hoses from the reels by pulling gently to reach the desired length;
❑ turn on the spray gun and begin to clean the mobile toilet (the hot water will not arrive instantly but a few seconds after
washing has started);
❑ when cleaning is finished position the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit in the neutral position-or- press the
"stop" button on the radio-control or push-button control panel;
❑ if the optional heating unit is present, turn the temperature control knob (turn to 0) to turn off the boiler;
❑ rewind the hose of the spray gun (if provided with automatic reel winder pull the hose gently until the rewinder
mechanism clicks and hold the tube as it rewinds to prevent it from rewinding too fast).
If necessary, aspirate the washing water from the mobile toilet, using the procedure described for the suction of waste.
EMPTYING THE CISTERN
The cistern must be emptied when the level of waste is visible from the transparent level indicator placed higher up on the
bottom of the cistern or when the red “tank full” warning light on the control panel comes on.
To empty the waste from the cistern, proceed as follows:
❑ check that the suction fan of the decompressor is free of any obstructions;
❑ remove the plug from the cistern waste discharge valve, firmly connect a hose long enough to reach the place where
the previously aspirated waste is to be discharged;
❑ open the cistern waste discharge valve;
❑ start the machine;
❑ set the decompressor lever to the compression position so as to create a slight over pressure inside the tank to
facilitate the expulsion of the waste;
❑ position the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit in the decompressor-on position – or press the
“decompressor ” button of the unit on the radio-control unit or push-button control panel;
❑ once the cistern has been completely emptied of sewage, move the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit into a
neutral position – or press the “stop” button of the radio-control or push-button control panel;
❑ once the emptying operations are complete, stop the machine, close the waste discharge valve, remove the hose
connected to the valve and insert the plug previously removed.
The cistern must always be emptied in compliance with current legislation and so as to safeguard the environment.
FILLING THE CLEAN WATER TANK

All versions of the equipment are equipped with a plastic tank for clean water; it is made of translucent material or has 3
transparent level indicators so as to monitor the amount of water inside.
To fill the tank, open the filler cap fitted with a quick-fit stopper, join the hose and fill.
The tank is fitted with valves to prevent the incoming water from overly compressing the air inside the recipient, damaging
it; in any case avoid using the high pressure pump or filling the tank beyond the maximum level.
STOPPING THE MACHINE
If the machine is fitted with P1 or P2 mechanics, it is stopped by turning off the hydraulic pump connected to the power
take-off of the vehicle; the performance of such operation depends on how the hydraulic pump has been installed:
consequently see the instructions of the hydraulic pump manufacturer and the workshop which installed it.
❑ In case of a vehicle fitted by ARMAL Srl it is stopped by using the lever situated in the driver's cabin of the truck
disabling power take-off (see the instructions given in the “PTO” paragraph of this IM).
Should the machine be fitted with MH or BASIC mechanics, it is stopped by turning off the engine:
❑ Reduce at minimum the revs of the engine by acting on the appropriate control;
❑ Turn off the combustion engine following the instructions shown in the relative paragraph of this I.M.
FUNCTIONING OF THE DECOMPRESSOR
The decompressor is a rotary blade vacuum pump; through coupling

to the hydraulic engine the decompressor is able to generate positive
or negative pressure inside the cistern.
The machine has the following key parts:
1. suction basin, connected to the cistern by means of a hose through

the siphon trap and overflow valve;
2 vacuum /pressure selector lever;
3 lubrication adjustment;
4 indication of direction of rotation of the pump;
5 oil level dipstick;
6 drainage basin.
The hose connected to the drainage basin (6) is connected to a

silencer which abates the noise caused by the flow of air.
FUNCTIONING OF THE HIGH PRESSURE WATER PUMP
The water pump has been designed to perform washing of the inner
and outer surfaces of the mobile toilet using water at high pressure
dispensed using spray guns.
Do not leave the pump on for prolonged periods without dispensing

water from the guns: should a high temperature be reached inside
the pump group, an automatic thermic valve opens, releasing the
pressure of the pump so as to not to damage the inner components.
Turn off the pump immediately and let it cool.
The jet of water is not the sign of malfunction but of improper use by
the operator: the pump should not be left on for long periods without
using the spray guns.

Should the pump have emptied it needs to be blown-off:
• turn on the equipment;

• activate the water pump device;
• open the spray gun nozzle to the maximum (see
“Adjustments” paragraph);
• point the gun into a bucket press the trigger and wait for a
plentiful jet of water to come out;
• turn off the gun;
• stop the functioning of the pump;
• turn off the equipment.
If by following the above steps the pump is still not blown off,
proceed as follows:
• turn on the equipment;

• activate the water pump device;
• partially unscrew the blow-off valve (spanner no. 10) on
the side of the pump;
• wait for water to come out of the blow-off valve;
• tighten the blow-off valve;
• turn off the pump;
• turn off the equipment.
POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO)
Should ARMAL Srl have supplied the equipment installed on the vehicle provided with power take-off, to control the pump
connected to the power take-off do as follows:
❑ turn on the engine of the vehicle and keep it running

at minimum revs;
❑ make sure that the gear is in neutral position;
❑ make sure that the handbrake is on;
❑ identify the power take-off controls depending on the
type installed; the electric control switch is on the left
side of the vehicle’s dashboard;
❑ press down the clutch fully (otherwise PTO won’t
insert);
❑ activate the power take-off using the relative
command;
❑ functioning of the power take-off will be shown by a
light positioned on the vehicle dashboard coming on
as well as by a buzzer;
❑ adjust the revs of the vehicle engine using the
relative controls (see the vehicle instruction manual)
in keeping with values shown on the rev counter. The correct operating mode is indicated on an adhesive label on the
dashboard next to the PTO start-up button:
o in the case of a vehicle equipped with cruise control, the command, situated on the steering column, provides for
the rotation of the indicator stalk to activate the system (the relative light on the dashboard will come on) and
progressively increase the engine revs. For details see the "cruise control" paragraph in the vehicle handbook;
o if the vehicle is fitted with the optional control for automatically adjusting the revs, no operations are needed in
that at the moment of using the devices the system will automatically reach the appropriate number of revs.
❑ the system is ready to use.

Upon completion of the operations, deactivate the power take-off as follows:
❑ if necessary, reduce the engine revs to minimum by deactivating the cruise control of the vehicle;
❑ deactivate the power take-off using the relative command, the warning light and buzzer will go off; in case the clutch
pedal is pulled, the PTO will be automatically disactivated from the electronic management system.
USE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (if present)
Should ARMAL Srl have supplied the equipment fitted with a combustion engine (connected to the pump of the hydraulic
system or to a drive-belt system), proceed as follows to turn on the engine:
❑ turn the key to ‘on’;

❑ open the fuel tap;
❑ if the engine is cold press the air/choke command;
❑ tug the pull-start smartly, or if it has been connected up for electric ignition – turn the key to start;
❑ keep the engine running at minimum for a few seconds to reach the optimal operating temperature;
❑ turn off the air/choke command;
❑ press the accelerator to increase the rotation speed up to 3000 rpm (optional working regime)
To turn off the combustion engine upon completion of operations proceed as follows:
❑ put the hydraulic system into neutral;

❑ reduce the revs of the combustion engine to minimum by using the accelerator control;
❑ turn the key to the “off” position;
❑ close the fuel tap.
See the instructions provided by the manufacturer and written in the specific user and servicing manual hereto attached.

The control panel is mounted on the equipment. The controls for the
lights, emergency stop mushroom-head button, the hour-counter,
fuses and lights indicating the operation of the equipment are located on
the control panel.
FUNZIONAMENTO DEL PANNELLO DI CONTROLLO
MECCANICHE P2
The actuation of the equipment is conditional to the actuation of the

vehicle power take-off (see specific section of this Instruction
manual). Once the vehicle's PTO is correctly engaged, the control
panel is automatically turned on (green light lit) and the remote-control system, the electric oil radiator fan and hour-
counter are electrically powered. If the mushroom-head emergency stop button is
pressed, the control panel will turn off all functions and the red "stop pressed” light will
come on; by rearming the emergency button the red light will turn off and the control
panel will come on again.
When the water pump is operated by remote control the green "washing” light comes
on, while if the decompressor is activated the green "suction” light comes on.
There is a “lights" switch that activates the courtesy LED lights that illuminate the
mechanics of the equipment; this switch may be used to turn on any 12V (max 5A)
device with an appropriate superseal type connector.
The control panel also powers a LED light on the hose reel winder.
The lights of the equipment remain electrically powered regardless of whether the PTO
is on or off.
At the bottom of the control panel is the fuse box containing 4 fuses for the lights
(5A++5Ah), remote control device (10A), electric fan and thermal oil heater bulb (10A),
To change a fuse, remove the transparent cover of the box, then remove the plug-in
fuse, replace it and put the cap back in place
FUNCTIONING OF THE CONTROL PANEL M2 MECHANICS

The controls for the lights, emergency stop mushroom-head button, the
hour-counter, and lights indicating the operation of the equipment are
located on the control panel.
The control panel is actuated when the ignition block of the internal
combustion engine is in the "ON" position: the green "on" light comes
on, the remote-control system and the electric oil radiator fan are
electrically powered and the hour-counter is started. If the mushroom-
head emergency stop button is pressed, the control panel will turn off
all functions and the red "stop pressed” light will come on; by rearming
the emergency button the red light will turn off and the control panel will
come on again.
When the water pump is operated by the
remote control the green "washing” light comes
on, while if the decompressor is activated the green "suction” light comes on.
The control panel also powers a LED light on the hose reel winder if present.
The equipment lights are electrically powered only if the key ignition of the engine is set to "ON".
The electrically powered devices are protected by fuses:

remote control 10A, electric fan and radiator heat bulb
10A, lights 5A (if present). The fuse box is located behind
the tower containing the remote-control unit.
To change a fuse, remove the transparent cover of the
box, then remove the plug-in fuse, replace it and put the cap back in place
FUNCTIONING OF THE CONTROL PANEL 600V M3

The equipment has a control panel attached to the front of the mechanics
near the internal combustion engine controls (fig. 1). The controls for
the lights, emergency stop mushroom-head button, fuses, control device of the
waste level inside the cistern, safety system and lights indicating the operation of the equipment are located on the control
panel (fig. 2).
The actuation of the equipment is conditional to the actuation of the electric

control panel which is performed by turning the internal combustion engine
key switch to "I". The presence of voltage is indicated by the green "ON" light
(in the "level meter ") and the panel courtesy light which remains lit as long as
the equipment is in operation.
The electronic package called "level meter" which indicates the level of waste present in the cistern as well as protecting
against overfilling is centrally located.
The level indicators light up in sequence as the quantity of waste present in the cistern increases. When the red LED "3/3"
comes on the cistern should be emptied as soon as possible. The equipment will,
however, continue to work on suction for about another 60 litres, after reaching this
threshold the decompressor will automatically stop running and the “ALARM" LED
will come on. After emptying the cistern, normal operation of the machine will
resume. This electronic, automatic stop device protects the decompressor from
accidental suction of excess fluid. The control system is disactivated when the
machine is operated using the hydraulic emergency manual mode (i.e. with remote
control disactivated).
The emergency stop mushroom switch is located on the right: once pressed it
disables the operation of the remote control so that the equipment stops operating except in the case where it is used with
the hydraulic distributor in emergency manual mode (as described in the relevant section of the instruction manual). With
the button pressed the outside lights, if on, the control panel light and level LED remain lit; only the green ON LED goes
off. To reset the mushroom button rotate it slightly clockwise.
Under the emergency button is the control switch of the machine spotlights if present.
At the bottom of the control panel is the fuse box containing 4 fuses for the lights (7.5A), remote control device (10A),
electric fan and thermal oil heater bulb (10A), level control system (5A).
To change a fuse, remove the transparent cover of the box, then remove the plug-in fuse, replace it and put the cap back
in place
FUNCTIONING OF THE IMET REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE (if present)

The control unit is composed of a portable transmitter unit and a
receiver unit electrically connected to the power supply (12V/24Vcc)
and to the solenoid distributor control valve.
The control unit, attached to the equipment or inside the cab of the
vehicle, is fitted with indicator lights of the various operating modes.
The electric power supply is via a fuse-protected line (located in the
engine compartment of the vehicle) and an emergency button
situated in a watertight box next to the controller unit.
By pushing the emergency button the electricity supply to the device

is disconnected with consequent immediate interruption of all
functions: the equipment remains on but positions itself automatically
into neutral. To resume functioning of the system reset the button by
pulling and rotating it and reactivate the radio control.
Normal functioning takes place solely in the "radio" mode while in an

emergency (radio or receiver failure) manual use of the distributor
valve is enabled.

❑ NORMAL - RADIO MODE
o Check that the mushroom buttons on the equipment

and on the radio control device are all in the
operating position;
o Take the radio control device out of its housing, if

that the battery is charged (the yellow “batt” LED 7
indicates a low battery charge);
o The remote control device needs to be turned on to
start functioning, press the side butto 6 for at least 3
seconds (the blue and green LEDs will begin to flash
indicating connection to the receiver); then press
button 1 or 3 for 1 second (the green and blue LEDs
will remain steadily lit indicating the system is ready
for operations);
o To activate the water pump press 1, to turn it off press
2; to activate the decompressor press 3, to turn it off,
press 4;
o During the functioning of one device it is not possible
to activate the other. The active device needs to be
turned off (key 2 or 4) to then turn on the other;
o To stop any operation in progress press the
emergency stop button (5): the equipment remains in
function but positions itself automatically into neutral.
To resume functioning of the system reset the switch
by pulling and rotating it clockwise, then reactivate
the radio control using the side button 6.
After use always switch off the remote control to save
the batteries, simply press the red emergency stop
button, after about 60 seconds the remote control will
turn off automatically.
❑ EMERGENCY - MANUAL MODE
In the case of malfunction of the radio system, the

equipment can still be used by means of the manual
control of the distributor:
o pull the locking pin out of the spring-loaded curser

slider (1);
o position the lever (2) in one of the two positions
(water pump or decompressor); the spring block
(released from the locking pin) will snap and
secure the lever in the engaged position;
o to return the lever to the neutral position it is
necessary to unhook the spring-loaded device
by pulling the cursor outwards (3);
o tends to return automatically to the neutral
position, to keep the position engaged, it is
necessary to insert the plug supplied in the
bracket hole so as to temporarily lock the lever.
At the end of operations always remember to remove the

blocking pin and make sure that the lever settles in the
neutral position.
Restore complete functioning of the radio control device as soon as possible.

FUNCTIONING OF THE WASHING WATER HEATER DEVICE (if present)
The equipment may be fitted with a washing water heater.
The water heater is installed in line with the standard washing system and can therefore supply hot water to all the
washing jet pipes normally provided as part of the equipment ; the equipment may function regardless with the heater
on or off.
Heater Device 12V

The heating unit consists of:
• an oil-fired boiler
• 12V flame control
• electric control panel.
To wash with hot water proceed as follows:
1) Check that the emergency stop button is in the working position

(not pressed);
2) Turn the thermostat knob to prepare the boiler for turning on and
set the desired temperature;
3) Proceed with use of the washing equipment as usual.
When the washing jet pipes are activated the burner in the boiler will come on automatically to heat the washing water to
the temperature predefined by the manufacturer; wait a few moments for the hot water to reach the jet pipes. The burner
will turn off automatically when:
• the water has reached the set temperature;
• no water is passing though the boiler;
• the pressure exceeds the predefined threshold or the control panel detects malfunctioning.
4) After finishing the washing operations ALWAYS turn the switch to "O".
NOTE: Should the control panel detect malfunctioning the heater will go into "Block" mode shown by a red warning light
coming on; to reactivate the heater turn the thermostat adjustment knob to "O" so as to deactivate it and repeat from step
1 as described above. Should repeated malfunctioning occur contact the technical assistance department.
Any tampering with the system will result in lapsing of the warranty and of any third party liability.
FUNCTIONING OF THE ODOUR ABATEMENT DEVICE (if present)
The odour abatement system is composed of an electronically controlled metering pump, a tank of perfumed additive, a
mixer nozzle and a storage and recirculation tank.
A dose of deodorant is fed in through the nozzle which intercepts the decompressor hose and drastically reduces the foul
odours coming from the decompressor.
The quantity of deodorant to be injected and,

therefore, the desired level of perfume can be
adjusted by regulating the trimmer switch of the
device as follows:
❑ open the cover of the pump control unit by

raising it, turn the trimmer knob from 0% to
100% as desired.
To activate the odour abatement device proceed as

follows:
❑ Raise the cover of the control panel of the

electronic pump;
❑ Turn on the device by turning the switch to
“on”, a warning light will indicate functioning
of the device;
❑ Close the protective cover;
❑ Proceed with the suction of the sewage;
❑ Turn off the device by turning the switch to

“off”, the light will go off.
Should the amount of deodorant emitted not be

optimal, use the adjustment trimmer switch as
described in the adjustments paragraph.
SECTIONING METHOD
To disconnect the electric system of the optional heating unit, use the mains switch on the control panel.
To disconnect the hydraulic system, proceed as follows:
• If the equipment is installed on a chassis directly by ARMAL srl use the truck control enabling the power take-off;
• If the equipment has a combustion engine connected to the hydraulic pump: make sure that the engine is off and
cannot be inadvertently turned on (remove the key from the ignition block).
In any case do not disconnect the hydraulic system by closing the outflow valve of the oil tank, to prevent damage to the
hydraulic pump.
6.3 Safety instructions

7 ADJUSTMENTS
7.1 Adjustment of the machine
The machine is pre-set at the moment of manufacture so that the user does not need to perform any operations other
than those connected with utilisation of the same.
However, it is possible to adjust:
❑ the water and detergent solution for washing;

❑ the jet of pressurised water;
❑ the lubrication of the decompressor.
ANY ADJUSTMENT OF THE MACHINE PARAMETERS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE INDICATED IN THIS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL MAY CREATE PROBLEMS OF RELAIABILITY AND SAFETY OF THE MACHINE.
Follow the safety instructions given in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS chapter.
7.2 Adjusting the detergent for washing
The small tank situated above the water pump should be filled with a
solution composed of half-pure detergent and half water.
This solution is further diluted when it is mixed with the water

contained in the tank situated under the cistern.
The degree of dilution may be adjusted by turning the Venturi valve;

during production this valve is set in keeping with the purposes for which
the machine has been designed and constructed.
However the user may adjust the Venturi valve in relation to the pure
detergent used and the concentration of the same inside the small tank
situated above the water pump.
To make such adjustment, with the machine on, it is necessary to activate

the "washing" function; by rotating the knob clockwise for greater dilution
(less concentrated solution) and anti-clockwise for less dilution (more
concentrated solution).
7.3 Regulation of the water detergent jet
By turning the knob on the spray guns the jet of

pressurised water can be adjusted.
To make such adjustment, with the machine on, it is

necessary to activate the "washing" function and turn on
the pressure spray gun; turn the knob clockwise for
maximum pressure; by turning it anti-clockwise a jet of
water at low pressure is obtained.

7.4 Regulation of decompressor lubrication
The level of lubrication is set at the moment of manufacture of the

decompressor, we therefore recommend not adjusting it unless clearly
malfunctioning and only after contacting the manufacturer.
In any event adjustment may be made by means of the setting head (A)
proceeding as follows:
❑ loosen the ring-nut (B) situated under the adjustment knob;

❑ turn the knob (A) clockwise for a smaller flow of oil and anti-clockwise
for a greater flow of oil;
❑ tighten the ring-nut (B) under the adjustment knob.
The right level of lubrication is obtained when the decompressor is lubricated with 20-25 drops per minute, a value which
can be checked by means of the lubrication adjustment system.

8 SERVICING
The machine does not require special servicing operations. The technical solutions and components utilised are such as
to reduce the servicing required. However the performance of a series of operations aimed at ensuring the safety,
reliability and efficacy of the machine over time is recommended.
Remember that any servicing should be carried out only after turning off and disconnecting the machine.
During servicing place a sign on the control panel and on the machine to indicate that it is undergoing
maintenance. Do not make modifications to the machine.
Use protective equipment during servicing: gloves, safety footwear and goggles. If it should be necessary to
climb onto the truck floor to access the upper parts of the machine for servicing, take particular care to avoid
falling.

8.2 Level of oil of the decompressor
Check the oil-level of the decompressor using the dipstick:

• remove the dipstick from its housing;
• dry it, reinsert it in the housing and remove again: the minimum level of oil
which must be present corresponds to the lowest notch on the lower end of
the dipstick;
• if necessary, top up with oil type ISO VG 100 through the opening.
To change the oil, proceed as follows:

• remove the dipstick from its housing;
• remove the plug from the bottom of the decompressor to let the dirty oil out,
collecting it in a container;
• replace the stopper after draining off all the old oil;
• pour in the new oil, type ISO VG 100, through the opening of the dipstick (the
tank holds 0.7 litres);
• insert the dipstick in its housing.

8.3 Level of oil of the water pump
Check the oil level of the water pump by looking at the level gauge situated at the side, should no oil be visible it is
necessary to fill the tank with oil type SAE 30.
To do so proceed as follows:
• temporarily remove the detergent solution tank (if situated above the water pump);
• remove the upper stopper from the pump, by unscrewing it;
• pour in oil type SAE 30, until it is clearly visible from the level gauge;
• screw the upper stopper for oil top-ups back on to the pump;
• reposition the detergent solution tank if previously removed.
To change the oil in the water pump, proceed as follows:
• temporarily remove the detergent solution tank (if situated above the water pump);
• remove the upper stopper from the pump, by unscrewing it;
• remove the lateral stopper, below the level gauge, to drain off the old oil, collecting it in a container;
• screw on the lateral stopper after draining off all the old oil;
• pour in the new oil, type SAE 30, from the upper hole until it is clearly visible from the level gauge;
• screw the upper stopper for oil top-ups back on to the pump;
• reposition the detergent solution tank if previously removed;
• dispose of the used oil in an authorised disposal centre and in any case in accordance with current legislation.
8.4 Level of the oil of the hydraulic system
Check the oil level in the hydraulic system using the level gauge on the tank.
To do so:
• remove the upper stopper of the tank, for oil top-ups, by unscrewing it;
• pour in hydraulic oil until it is clearly visible from the level gauge;
• screw the upper stopper for oil top-ups back on to the tank.
To change the oil proceed as follows:

• screw on the lateral stopper after draining off all the old oil;
• pour in the new hydraulic oil from the upper hole until it is clearly visible from the level gauge;
• screw the upper stopper for oil top-ups back on to the tank;
• dispose of the used oil in an authorised disposal centre and in any case in accordance with current legislation.
8.5 Level of oil of the combustion engine (if present)
The oil level of the engine can be checked by means of the oil refuelling cap/graduated dipstick situated laterally at the
back. In any case always refer to the use and maintenance manual provided by the engine manufacturer and attached
hereto:
• Check the oil level with the engine off and on a level surface;
• Remove the refuelling cap/oil dipstick and clean the rod;
• Put the refuelling cap/dipstick back into the mouth WITHOUT screwing on, then remove it to check the oil level on the
rod;
• If the level is close to or below the bottom notch impressed the rod, top up with the oil recommended by the
manufacturer; do not overfill or exceed the maximum level indicated on the dipstick;
• Replace the refuelling cap/dipstick and screw on tightly.
If the engine is equipped with the system called Oil-Alert ® (relevant types), it will automatically stop.
If the engine stops and will not start again, check the level of oil in the engine before looking for malfunctions elsewhere.
8.6 Cleaning the siphon trap
During waste suction, especially in the case of suction with the cistern full,
condensation and dirt may accumulate in the siphon trap.
We recommend periodic servicing of the same, emptying the siphon trap by

opening the small cock at the bottom (1) and proceeding by opening the
transparent spherical cap (2) to lubricate the sealing gaskets.
We recommend periodic servicing by emptying the valve (open the small cock at
the bottom (1) and proceed to the opening of the transparent cap (2) to lubricate
the sealing gaskets.
Particular attention should be paid to clean the sealing ball (3) and its seat.
8.7 Cleaning the decompressor rotor
During waste suction particles of waste may come into contact with the rotor of the decompressor and dirty it.
Consequently, once a week, after emptying the cistern of waste, the rotor should be cleaned using the following method:
• with the machine on, set the decompressor lever to the compression position;
• open the valves of the syringes;
• move the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit to the decompressor-on position;
• make the decompressor aspirate, from the outgoing hose, 300-400 grams of diesel;
• move the lever of the distributor or radio-control unit to neutral position and close the valves of the syringes.
8.8 Cleaning the diesel filter
On the output of the diesel tank fuelling the boiler, is a filter which should be cleaned regularly by blowing compressed air
through it so as to free it of any impurities deposited. Should the filter be completely blocked or damaged, contact ARMAL
srl to order an original spare part.
8.9 Cleaning the level indicators

The level indicators by means of which it is possible to check whether the
maximum capacity of the cistern has been reached are on the bottom
of the cistern.
To keep the transparent ogives clean, unscrew the wing screws (1) on the stand
above each indicator, once the screw has been loosened or removed the
transparent ogival body (2) can be extracted.
Be careful when extracting and reassembling not to damage the sealing gaskets (OR
3).
Wash them with plenty of water, with detergent added if necessary, then replace in the seat on the cistern, greasing the
gaskets with grease, and tightening the screws previously loosened.

8.10 Cleaning the inside of the cistern

Usually in-depth cleaning of the inside of the cistern is not required. In case of need the cistern is fitted with a manhole at
the top. To access it first remove all the perimetral bolts, then remove the cover, paying attention to the sealing gaskets.
BEFORE performing any operation on the manhole, make sure that the syringe valves and drainage valves are open so
that the inside of the cistern is at atmospheric pressure.
This operation should be performed EXCLUSIVELY by specialized personnel authorized by ARMAL.
8.11 Cleaning of the clean water filter

The washing water tank is fitted with a pipe filter which prevents
impurities from entering the high pressure circuit, damaging the pump
and the nozzles of the spray guns.
To clean the filter, close the outflow valve from the tank, unscrew the
housing of the cartridge and clean it thoroughly.
If the cartridge is excessively dirty, replace with a new one.

Reassemble the cartridge and housing onto the filter body, tightening it
gently. After completing the operation open the water valve again.
8.12 Checking the tension of transmission belt (BASIC version only).

To keep the BASIC equipment fully efficient the tension of the belt
needs to be checked.
Make sure that the endothermic engine is off and the ignition key
removed.
Remove the casing covering the belt by removing the perimetral

springs.
Once the belt is visible, check the tension, in the central point of the
long side there should be about 1.5 cm of play; if the tension needs
to be adjusted, loosen the 4 bolts of the base of the compressor,
adjust the front adjustment screw until the desired tension is
achieved and then screw up the screws of the decompressor
support and reassemble the protective casing.
After such maintenance check the correct functioning of the

equipment and watch out for any excessive noise.
8.13 Corrective maintenance
Any corrective maintenance operations must be performed by technical staff authorised by ARMAL srl.
Any operations performed on the machine by non-authorised personnel result in the automatic lapsing of the warranty and
any responsibility of ARMAL srl.
8.14 Spare parts
To order spare parts, request original components from ARMAL srl, indicating the model of the machine, the serial
number, code number, description of the component required and the quantity.

9. WHAT TO DO IF ...
Blocked hose
During the work cycle a 2" suction hose may become obstructed (on account of suction of sanitary towels, nappies, solid
waste, bundles of paper, ...) ; the procedure for fast unblocking is as follows:
1) stop the equipment (put the hydraulic selector in the neutral position);
2) open the syringe valve which is NOT obstructed (so as to eliminate the vacuum pressure inside the waste cistern);
3) disconnect the quick-fit connections of the obstructed hose from the cistern, operating on the relative hooks (see
photo);
4) reconnect the tube the other way round (to enable a reverse flow);
5) close the syringe valve opened in point 2;
6) resume work.
Lack of suction as a result of excessive difference of level

Should it be necessary to perform suction of sewage with a considerable difference of level between the withdrawal point
and the equipment, the flow of liquid may not have sufficient capacity. To perform the service in any case, just keep the
syringe valves closed for a few instants so as to reach the maximum vacuum level possible inside the cistern and
consequently an increased capacity of the equipment. Once suction has commenced, insert and extract the syringe in the
liquid repeatedly aspirating a small portion of sewage each time.
Presence of liquid in the siphon trap

The lower part of the siphon trap is transparent making it possible to check that there is no liquid inside it.
If this does happen, stop the waste suction operations immediately to prevent the rotor of the decompressor form breaking
and proceed to empty the cistern. To empty the siphon trap open the lower valve fitted with a hose connection.
All waste must be disposed of according to the legislation currently in force and its dispersion in the environment is strictly
prohibited.
The overflow valve and siphon trap present on the air line and positioned between the compressor and the cistern are
there to prevent liquids or solid from being aspirated by the decompressor and reaching the rotor, causing potential
damage.
