PARTSGUY - NEED HELP PLEASE

[dochummer]

Anybody have the limited edition operating instructions for the hotshot unit? I spoke with the hotshot people, and they said that i most likely overheated the unit, that's why it's not working any more. Said that I didn't prime it. The manual says that you need to prime it before using after initial install....wasn't aware that I was supposed to prime it every time I use it....Is that the way it is with the limited edition installs?

Page 9 says you need to prime the unit.

So, that has to be done everytime you use it, not just the first time after install?

Yeah Doc, everytime! That completly blows!
I hope mine works since I never primed it!
PS. I never read that priming BS until yesterday. I bet they added that after lots of HS's went bad!

Good thing I have an extra one sitting in the garage.... Gotta luv ebay deals..

Is the factory installed one named "Hotshot"?
If so, mine has not worked since day one.
I took it back to the dealer and after 3 days in the shop, it worked a total of two times.
The instructions are pretty vague. It tells you to push the button (No kidding) and nothing else.
I know I'm gonna be really pissed once the snow starts falling here.

Not understanding the Prime every time statement. Sure that isn't just the first time?
There is a one-way check valve between the unit and the reservoir that prevents fluid from going back into the reservoir, so how is the unit going dry? The unit, whether on or off, just allows the fluid to be pushed through from the pump.
I would understand if you run out of fluid it would require priming again.

He Jeff!

Long time no speak! Don't do it! You'll only make all the bastards who hate you happy! So, if I can distract you, I too am going to join the Wabasto crew. Is there any particular advantage to using the factory harnesses or switch vs buying it off e-ghey? Does it look any more "factory?" f so I'm in! Do you have any shots or drawings of the switch and is location? Thank you and Happy Holidays!
