fi cient supply of oxygen available for the amount of fuel 
being burned. If it is necessary to install the machine in 
a poorly ventilated area, outside fresh air may have to be 
provided to the machine. Locate the pressure washer so 
that the fl ue will be as straight as possible and protrude 
through the roof at a proper height and location to provide 
adequate draft. This oil fi red pressure washer must have 
a draft regulator installed in the fl ue (available from most 
heating contractors). A draft regulator will permit proper 
upward fl ow of exhaust fl ue gases.  

To adjust:

 start machine and turn burner ON. Loosen 

two locking screws found in the air shutter openings 
(refer to

  fi gure  3

) and close air shutter until black 

smoke appears from burner exhaust vent. Note air band 
position. Next, slowly open the air shutter until white 
smoke just starts to appear. Turn air shutter halfway 
back to the black smoke position previously noted. 
Tighten locking screws.

If the desired position cannot be obtained using only 
the air shutter, lock the air shutter in as close a position 
as can be obtained, then repeat the above procedure 
on the air band setting.

CAUTION: If white smoke appears from burner 
exhaust vent during start-up or operation, discontinue 
use and readjust air bands.

NOTE: If a fl ue is installed, have a professional ser-
viceman adjust your burner for a #1 or #2 smoke spot 
on the Bacharach scale.

For additional burner component information, see 

Burner Assembly

. It is recommended that the oil 

burner be serviced yearly or as needed. Contact your 
local service center.
