i bought a Prochem Legend truck-mounted carpet cleaning unit and dont know what to do?

Why do people buy equipment...then start asking questions?

Anyway, you post is way to broad...do a little reading on the forum and then put some more specific questions up and we'll be glad to help

Or me anyway...others may want to come in here and just start vomiting information...

Get on youtube and type " how to operate prochem legend" and see what it brings up. good luck

Here's some things I saw.

If this is your model, this might help. Don't worry about the SE after the model name. It has the same operation. If your Legend doesn't look like that, you have the later model

Here's the newer Legend info

Yes be a "quality" carpet cleaner that can't sell his way out of porty in 6-8-12 months+?

I stand corrected...or do I? We'll see....

Joe, new is tough for me to justify...I know the thought process. And I was actually thinking about buying a new TM this time. But man when you shop around and find well well maintained equipment for pennies on the dollar...I just can't bring myself to take that %40 plus depreciation hit right out of the gate...

Hmmmmmm..............

Buy a simple machine and there's not much to them...either way I wouldn't get a TM with lots of proprietary parts...I paid more in repairs in 2.5 years then some guys paid for their TM's

Also keep in mind on small engines they aren't even that much money to buy a new one and replace. I bought a brand new 18HP V-twin for $1300.

Plus your problems usually don't start until the day after your warranty expires...

Depending on condition Legends are great machines. However they are difficult to
work on. If it is just a few years old then it should have a 20HP Kohler and a 4MVL
Sutorbilt blower. If it is pretty used then be careful. Could be a money pit! Nothing
wrong with Prochem but some people just are terrible when it comes to taking care
of a truckmount.

Even some of the older Prochems are great value. Carburated VS. fuel injected so you don't have computers and tons of relays and solenoids....

Personally I think a older Prochem 405's are awesome starter units. You can find well maintained or refurbed ones for $5-$8k.

This last time around I was really considering buying a Judson C4, but the TNT is a great single wand machine as well...I can't find a single person WHO HAS USED THEM that could tell me one bad thing about those machines. They are extremely hard to find used...

Anyway, I am pretty much a hypocrite because I didn't follow my own advice on my latest TM purchase...but I like buying different machines and trying them out...if it ends up costing me a little more oh well...just one more color seal upsell
