9. Transformer on burner is 20,000 volts.
Disconnect battery cable before servicing burner or
engine on 12-volt systems.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS:
1. DO NOT use improper fuels or solvents in this
equipment, and only fill with the correct fluids when
the unit is in an OFF condition, main power is
disconnected, and engine and burner are cool.
2. Fill the diesel burner fuel tank with #2 diesel
fuel, kerosene, or approved alternate fuel. NEVER
use gasoline. Do not confuse gasoline and diesel
fuel tanks.
3. NEVER operate this equipment in the presence
of flammable vapors, dust, gases, or other
potentially combustible materials.
4. AVOID contact with the exterior of the coil/heat
exchanger assembly, mufflers, and exhaust port or
stack to prevent burns.
5. DO NOT store fuel or other flammable materials
near the burner or any other open flame.
6. Diesel fired or gasoline power units are
designed for outdoor use and installation only.
7. Burner on/off switch must be placed in the OFF
position when the pressure washer is not being
used. Do not depend on engine run switch to turn
the burner off
– this may cause a safety hazard.
8. Warning: Burner (water heater) should start
only when water is sprayed. Stop the
system/engine immediately if burner continues to
fire when trigger gun is off.
VENTILATION PRECAUTIONS:
1. Do not run engine or burner in an enclosed
area. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless, deadly poison.
2. Observe all State, Local, and National codes
providing for indoor use or installation of this unit.
3. Provide adequate ventilation to prevent engine
overheating and inefficient burner combustion (min.
2’ air space). Do not restrict normal engine airflow.
4. For engine driven units mounted in a van or box
truck type vehicles, provide an external engine
exhaust line that is larger in diameter than the
factory exhaust pipe and vent the exhaust to the
outside of the vehicle, but not below the vehicle’s
interior floor height. Also, insure adequate fresh air
circulation within the van for engine cooling
purposes to prevent heat build-up and for engine
fresh air intake. Clearance of at least 12” is
recommended on all sides of the unit. Provide a
burner exhaust vent, at least 8” diameter, to the
outside through the van roof, or though the side
panel that is at least 10” in diameter, and position
this vent to avoid water, dirt and debris collection.
No flammable liquids, aerosols, or flammable
materials should be stored within 24” of the unit and
should not be stored under the unit. During
refueling, ALL ignition sources and switches should
be OFF and there should be a person with the
proper fire extinguisher and training within the
vicinity of the unit in case of fire. Unit should not be
left running unattended or out of site.
SPRAY INJECTION PRECAUTION:
1. Fluid from high-pressure spray or leaks can
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If any
fluid appears to penetrate the skin, get emergency
medical help at once. DO NOT treat as a simple
cut. Tell the physician exactly what fluid was
injected. For treatment instructions, have the
physician call your local poison center. Without
proper treatment, complications can develop.
