HOW DOES IT MOUNT TO MY TRUCK OR TRAILER
?
The SERVICE-21 mounts to any truck equipped with a 2" REESE type hitch receiver. It mounts to any trailer with a set of U-bolts
(included). The cart is secured to the mount with a toggle clamp latch and a safety pin. The Resort-30 and Resort-21 units use
different carts and do not mount.
CAN I GET A RESORT-30 UNIT THAT CAN MOUNT?
No, but... Some prefer the larger head and longer cord on the RESORT-30, but need a portable unit for their daily pool route, so we
offer the SERVICE-30 as an alternative. It has the longer cord (60') and larger head (30") and also includes the mount system.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RESORT UNIT AND THE SERVICE UNIT?
The Resort units and Service units both use the same motors and the same interchangeable parts. The main difference between the
two is in the cart design. Our service units are designed for pool to pool service route work and are ready to mount on your truck or
trailer. Resort units are designed for maintenance work where the unit will be left on site, and are not compatible with the vehicle
mount assembly. Resort-30 units have been used by aquatic facility managers around the US and abroad. Disney Resorts, Sea
World, the US ARMY, the YMCA, cruise lines, countless country clubs, condominium associations, and municipalities have relied on
the portability and ease of use that make the Resort-30 and Resort-21 the only economical equipment choice.
IS THERE A WARRANTY? CAN I GET PARTS?
Hammer-Head units are backed by a limited one year warranty (12 months upon registration, or 6 months if the unit is not registered)
and we offer a full compliment of readily available parts through your dealer/distributor, and service through Hammer-Head to keep
your cleaner's motor working smoothly year after year. Click here to download our warranty statement.
CAN I JUST PLUG IT INTO A WALL SOCKET?
NO. The HAMMER-HEAD is designed to accept a 12 volt deep cycle
marine
battery as a power source (not included), and the use of
any other power source is not advised.
Attempting to use any other power source can d
amage the unit and
/or
put you at risk of
electric shock. You can use any 12 volt battery of any size, but typically, the bigger the battery, the longer the run time. Deep-cycle
batteries are the only batteries that will last. It is possible to run the Hammer-Head using a 110 volt AC to 12 volt DC converter, we do
not recommend operating the unit in this way due to the higher risk of electrocution. Please call to discuss the necessary
specifications using a converter.
WHAT KIND OF BATTERY AND CHARGER WILL I NEED?
We suggest the use of a 12 volt deep-cycle marine battery and an automatic charger that can charge at a minimum of 6 amps and no
more than 10-12 amps. Charge your battery every day.
DO NOT TRICKLE CHARGE. DO NOT USE A CAR BATTERY.
Marine batteries typically come in series sizes 24, 27, and 30. We suggest a series 27 size battery. The bigger the battery, the longer
the run-time. Avoid marine starting batteries. A general purpose trolling motor battery will work fine. We do not recommend using
marine starting or cranking batteries due to their shorter life span. Sealed, or maintenance-free batteries are a good idea so you don't
have to check liquid levels. These items are available at super stores, marine supply stores, auto supply stores, and some buyer's
clubs. Make sure you charge your new battery before using it for the first time. Hammer-Head strongly suggests that you use a deep-
cycle marine gel battery for the best performance and longest life.

WHAT IS THE NOCO CHARGING PORT FOR?
Hammer-Head units are equipped with a NOCO battery charging port, located just below the switch (NOCO part number GC016 or
Hammer-Head part number HH1902). When using the compatible NOCO charger (NOCO part number G7200 or Hammer-Head part
number HH1900 - not included), you can plug directly into the side of the unit for nightly charging. The NOCO charging port also gives
an LED readout of the battery charge level.
TIP: After connecting to the port and plugging the NOCO G7200 charger into an
outlet for the first time, make sure you do the initial setup. Press the "MODE" button to select the proper voltage level
(12volts) and the battery type (in most cases select "NORM", unless you are using an AGM-type marine battery). Once you
have set up the charger, it will charge at the proper rate of 7.2 amps, bring the battery up to a full charge, and then maintain
it until you are ready to work again. Remember, the charger setup only has to be done the first time you use your NOCO
G7200 charger, after that, the charger automatically knows what to do.
For best results and longest battery life, make sure your
Hammer-Head unit is always plugged in to your NOCO charger (or an automatic charger with a minimum charge rate of 6
amps) when not in use.
