INSTALLATION

Getting Started

IMPORTANT: Proper initial installation of equipment 
will assure more satisfactory performance, longer 
service life, and lower maintenance cost.

IMPORTANT: The use of a backfl ow preventer on 
the water supply hose is recommended and may be 
required by local code.

The pressure washer should be run on a level surface 
and in a protected area where it is not readily infl uenced 
by outside forces such as strong winds, freezing tem-
peratures, rain, etc. The pressure washer should be 
located to assure easy access for fi lling of fl uids, adjust-
ments and maintenance. Normal precautions should be 
taken by the operator to prevent moisture from reaching 
the pressure washer. It is recommended that a partition 
be made between the wash area and the pressure washer 
to prevent direct spray from the wand from coming in 
contact with the pressure washer. Moisture reaching the 
equipment will reduce the pressure washer’s service life. 
All installations must comply with the local codes covering 
such installations.

Venting

CAUTION: All venting must be in accordance 
with applicable federal and state laws, and local 
ordinances. Consult local heating contractors.

If the pressure washer is to be used in an enclosed area, 
a fl ue must be installed to vent burner exhaust to the  
outside atmosphere. Be sure the fl ue is the same size 
as the burner exhaust vent on the pressure washer. See 

Component Identifi cation 

for location. Poor draft will 

cause the pressure washer to soot and not operate prop-
erly. When selecting the location for installation, beware 
of poorly ventilated locations or areas where exhaust 
fans may cause an insuffi cient supply of oxygen. Proper 
combustion  can only be obtained when there is a suf-
