The Hydrogenator is NOT a toy.

The Hydrogenator dry cell generators can produce

LARGE amounts of explosive HHO gas. Do NOT use or experiment with the
Hydrogenator in unventilated or poorly ventilated spaces. HHO explosive gas may
accumulate to dangerous levels. Please do NOT let minor children play or
experiment with the Hydrogenator while unsupervised.

Congratulations!
You have made a good decision in purchasing a Hydrogenator. Properly
installing and using this device will make a significant contribution to both
your own well-being and the well-being of the world you live in.

Getting started: Note!

If you are installing the Hydrogenator on a diesel engine you must route
the HHO transmission hose to a location UPSTREAM of the turbo, that is,
on the LOW PRESSURE side of the turbo, in the air-intake cowling, or
into the intake mouth of the air intake cowling, if you can access it.

General Installation Guidelines For Your Brutus Model

Hydrogenator.
Because of the thousands of ever-evolving vehicle configurations in the
marketplace, we cannot offer specific, detailed, instructions to precisely fit
every possible installation. The following guide is designed to present a
typical installation, which the installer can use as guidance in installing the
device in his/her own vehicle or stationary engine placement. This is a
relatively simple process and should be handled with ease by any
professional mechanic or mechanically-inclined individual with the
appropriate tools.

You can begin by determining where you want to locate the Hydrogenator
in/on your vehicle or stationary engine. Then determine a path to route the
HHO hose and electrical wires from the Hydrogenator device to the
engine. You should remember that you will most likely want to run the
hose and wires together along a frame member or other similar
undervehicle location where you can attach mechanic's wire or plastic ties
to hold them in place. You MUST keep both the HHO transfer hose and
electrical wire at least 12" from the exhaust pipes and exhaust manifold to
prevent them from burning, shorting, or melting.

For inside-vehicle, in-trunk, in-truck-bed,

or in-commercial-cargo-bay installations:
Once you have determined where you want to locate your Hydrogenator,
find a place where you can drill one 3/4" hole for the HHO transfer line
and one 3/8" hole for electrical leads to the engine compartment. Drill
through the vehicle deck to the underside of the vehicle. Make sure you
stay clear of the fuel tank, brake lines, and any other obstructions which
would make it difficult for you to push or pull the HHO transfer hose and
electrical wires through the holes you have drilled. Then either push or
pull the HHO transmission hose through the 3/4" hole you drilled,
providing enough slack in the hose near the Hydrogenator to allow you to
re-position it conveniently when you want to fill/re-fill the electrolyte in the
device reservoir. You might want to wrap the transmission Hose with duct
tape or apply appropriate size split wire loom where it passes through the
vehicle deck in order to reduce the possibility of eventual wear on the
HHO transmission hose.

Then push or pull the two electrical wires through the 3/8" hole. It also
might be a good idea to cover all the electrical wires with wire loom where
they may rub against the side of the drilled holes to protect them from
possible wear and shorting.

You can bundle the hose and wires together under the vehicle to make it
easier to tie them up to and secure them alongside a frame member in the
direction of the engine compartment.

Locate an area on your air-intake cowling as near the air-intake

termination at the throttle throat as you can conveniently access (On diesel
engines, you MUST input the HHO transmission hoses UPSTREAM from
the turbo, on the LOW PRESSURE side of the turbo). Drill a 7/16" hole.
( We suggest you remove the air-intake, or move it to a position where the
drilling debris won't fall into the throttle throat or intake manifold.) Re-
attach the air-intake cowling and screw a 1/4" NPT (threaded) x 3/8" hose
barb (provided with your Hydrogenator) into the 7/16" hole you drilled in
the air-intake. There is no need to over-tighten the fitting(s). If you strip
the threads or have trouble satisfactorily affixing the fitting into the air-
intake cowling, you can clean/de-grease the area around the hole(s) and
use any good plastic glue, epoxy, Sumo Glue, etc., to secure the hose barb.

Attach the HHO transmission hose to the hose barb you attached to your
air-intake cowling using an appropriate hose clamp (provided). You might
doublecheck to be sure you have chosen a route for the hose and wire that
will avoid the hot exhaust manifold and exhaust pipes as well as avoiding
any moving mechanisms that would entangle, crimp, or rub the hose.
Again, it would be a good idea to follow the same path as the electrical
wires so the hose and the wires can be bundled with electrical or duct tape
as you attach and support them with plastic ties and/or mechanic's wire as
they traverse along the vehicle framework between the location of the
Hydrogenator and the engine compartment.

On top mount battery posts, remove the battery clamp nuts and attach the
large red/yellow wire to the positive (+) post and the large green wire to
the negative (-) post then re-tighten each of the nuts to hold the 2 wires in
place. On side mount batteries, remove the 2 cable bolts and attach each of
the large wires as instructed above, then re-tighten both of the bolts to hold
the wires in place.

Locate your vehicle fuse box. Find a fused circuit that turns on/off with the
ignition key. Remove the fuse and insert it into the empty fuse socket on
the circuit tap that has been provided with your hydrogenator. Then insert
the circuit tap back into the socket from which you removed the fuse. Then
insert the small wire extending from the Hydrogenator into the butt
connector attached to the circuit tap and crimp it firmly into place. This
will turn the Hydrogenator on/off with the ignition key.
As an alternative, you can attach the small activation wire to the positive
lead to your electric fuel pump, or to the oil pressure sensing unit, or to
any other circuit that is only powered when the engine is running.
There is a manual switch on the end of the Hydrogenator that will override
the ignition or any other activation power source, so the Hydrogenator can
be turned off when it is desirable to have the ignition on, or the engine
running, but, at the same time, the Hydrogenator turned off. Both the
ignition or other activation power source and the manual switches
MUST be on for the Hydrogenator to operate.
 That's it!....Installation is Complete!
You are now ready to mix and charge your device
with electrolyte.
NOTICE!
Device Stabilization:
The Hydrogenator should be set in an upright position as shown on our
website. If you drive in unpredictable traffic or rough terrain, the
Hydrogenator can be stabilized against bouncing or sliding around, or
tipping over, any number of ways. It can be stabilized with hold-down
straps, bungee cords, springs, cables, or ropes, depending upon where you
locate it in your vehicle. Be sure NOT to penetrate, drill, or punch holes in
any of the internal components.

IMPORTANT!
The Hydrogenator is designed to operate as a "closed" system in order for
the electrolyte and HHO gases to circulate and exit the system in the hose
that will transmit the HHO to the engine. When replacing or adding
electrolyte to the reservoir, be sure to tighten the filler cap tight enough to
prevent HHO gases and the circulating pressure from escaping. Hand
tightening is usually sufficient, but if you have trouble with HHO leakage,
you can use plumber's grease or petroleum jelly or teflon tape in the
threads of the filler cap to stop any leaks. You can use soapy water sprayed
or dolloped around the cap threads while the Hydrogenator is running to
ensure they are not leaking.

Notice: Electrolyte Mixing Info.

Always pour the water into your plastic mixing
container first, then add the sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
to the water. Adding the water to the sodium hydroxide
may cause an instant boiling or splatter upon making
the initial contact between the two substances. Always
wear eye protection, long sleeves, and gloves when
mixing your electrolyte. Be thoughtful and safe.
The Hydrogenator device has a remarkable range of
operational parameters. We strongly recommend that
you do not exceed a maximum of 1 ounce of sodium
hydroxide (about 1 rounded teaspoon) per gallon of
distilled water. Stir the mixture to help dissolve the
NaOH, then let the mixture sit, uncontained/uncapped,
for about 20 minutes before adding the mixture to the
Hydrogenator device. The normal loss of water and
warming of the electrolyte due to use will gradually
increase the concentration and subsequently increase
the amperage draw as the dry cells run. Our automatic
resetting internal current delimiters, factory installed
into each unit, will cap the amperage draw at an
acceptable level.

ALWAYS PRE-MIX the electrolyte in an open plastic container

when adding denatured alcohol to the Sodium
Hydroxide and distilled water for your winter mix. Let
the mixture sit, uncontained/uncapped, for about 20
minutes before adding the mixture to the Hydrogenator
device.
The Hydrogenator, like other pieces of equipment utilizing H2O that is
exposed to below freezing elements, must be protected from freezing hard
during cold weather. This can be accomplished by adding denatured or
isopropyl alcohol to the distilled water and NaOH in order to achieve a 5%
to 20% alcohol solution. A 5% solution (about 8 liquid oz. per U.S. gallon)
will protect against a hard freeze down to about 10º F.. A 10% solution
(about 13 liquid oz. per U.S gallon) will protect against a hard freeze down
to about 0º F.. A 15% solution (about 21 liquid oz. per U.S. gallon) will
protect against a hard freeze down to about -15º F.. A 20% solution (about
28 liquid oz. per U.S. gallon) will protect against a hard freeze down to
about -25º F.
For below-freezing initial start-up: Mix 1 gallon distilled water, denatured
alcohol (8 to 28 liquid oz.), and Sodium Hydroxide, 1 oz. by weight, (1
rounded teaspoon), in an open container and let the mixture sit open for 20
minutes before closing or transferring the mixture to a closed container.
There will be an initial reaction causing the mixture to get warm and
expand, so keep the mixing container open to accommodate the heating
and expansion, before capping the mixing container or adding the mixture
to the cells.

When the Hydrogenator requires adding replacement electrolyte for

continued below-freezing operation, be sure to include 8 to 28 liquid
ounces of denatured alcohol with each gallon of distilled water, along with
about 1/2 teaspoon of Sodium Hydroxide in the replacement water to
maintain the 5% to 15% alcohol solution and replace any Sodium
Hydroxide in the HHO generating cells, which may have been neutralized
with use.

For initial electrolyte fill-up:

Add the distilled water and Sodium Hydroxide mixture (with or without
denatured alcohol, per the weather conditions), filling to about 2/3 of the
capacity of the electrolyte reservoir. Do not overfill. As the electrolyte
warms when current is passed through it, it expands and gasifies. So leave
room for expansion. Whether using a Summer or Winter electrolyte mix,
ALWAYS pre-mix the electrolyte in an open plastic container and let it
cool 20 minutes before adding the mix to the Hydrogenator.

Some of the internal components of the HHO generating cells need to

"season" for 10 to 12 hours of usage before they reach their expected
output. Several sessions of use, then non-use, will be necessary to "season"
those components. By running the Hydrogenator om your vehicle
alternator/battery, your in-dash voltmeter should drop about 1.5 volts
from its maximum reading when the device is warm and working well.

Once again, when freezing weather approaches, begin adding alcohol to

prevent the device from freezing hard. Don't forget to add some alcohol to
the bubbler to keep if from freezing hard.

Always use an open plastic container when mixing the denatured or

isopropyl alcohol and the Sodium Hydroxide into the distilled water, then
let it sit for 20 minutes for any warming reaction to spend itself. You can
pick-up the denatured alcohol at any well supplied lumber or hardware
store....in the paint department .....located with paint thinners, etc. You can
pick-up Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)at any good Hardware or builder's
supply store (Red Devil or Rooto Lye, drain cleaner)or order it from our
website.

Do NOT use ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) in the electrolyte it will coat and
clog the interior electrolyzing components inside the HHO generating dry
cells and greatly reduce the generating efficiency of the Hydrogenator, or
even eliminate the generation of HHO altogether. Using ethylene glycol in
the electrolyte will void your warranty.

How often you will need to replenish the electrolyte depends upon the
amount of driving you do.

You should check the electrolyte usage every 12 to 15 hours of driving.

Adding 1/2 a teaspoonspoonful of sodium hydroxide to each gallon of
replacement water should maintain the recommended water-to-sodium
hydroxide mix. The sodium depletes very slowly....not at the same rate as
the water in the electrolyte. If you use local tap water, as opposed to
distilled water, you may need to adjust the sodium to accommodate the
mineral content of the local water supply. We strongly recommend
distilled water for consistency and best long-term performance of the
device.

NOTICE!
If you have convenient access to food quality potassium hydroxide, you
may utilize the potassium hydroxide in lieu of sodium hydroxide. The
potassium hydroxide is virtually permanent in the electrolyte. You would
only have to RARELY use any potassium hydroxide in your replacement
electrolyte. You can use plain distilled water (+ alcohol, in winter freezing
conditions) for your refills.

We thank you for your patronage and wish you well in the future.
