8. Heater:
To prevent damage to the heater, the heater must have water in it before it is turned ON.
Fill solution tank, prime the pump and connect solution hoses before turning heater ON.
Allow the heater to heat up for about 5 minutes before starting to spray tool.
While the heater allows for maximum operating temperature of approximately 190ºF, the temperature of the
cleaning water delivered to the tool is dependant on two factors:
•
The starting temperature of the water: Starting with hotter water will require a smaller temperature
increase from the heater to reach the maximum temperature.
The water temperature in the solution
tank cannot exceed 130
°°°°
F.
•
Flow rate: The lower the flow rate of the water through the heater, the more time the water will be inside
the heater. The water will have more time to be heated and can reach a higher temperature. High water
usage and flow rate will not allow the water enough time to be heated and the temperature of the water
delivered to the tool will be much lower.
The flow rate can be lowered by putting smaller jets in the cleaning tool and by reducing the amount of
time the wand is sprayed. Taking additional drying stokes without spraying water between spraying
strokes will help increase the potential temperature rise.
