INSTRUCTIONS

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.

2. WARNING - Risk of injection or severe injury to persons - Keep

clear of nozzle. DO NOT direct discharge stream at persons. This

machine is to be used by trained operators.  Keep operating area

clear of all persons.

CAUTION: Hot discharge fluid - DO NOT touch or direct

discharge stream at persons. Gun kicks back - Hold with both

hands.  Stay alert - Watch what you are doing.

3. Always wear protective eye goggles when operating the

equipment.  Additional protective items such as a rubber suit
and boots, gloves, and respirators are advisable, particularly

2. NEVER point the spray gun at yourself or other persons.  Do

not lock the trigger in the "ON" position.  Use only 48" long

wands on machines producing over 3000 psi.  Also, only use

straight wands or wands with a bend of 10° or less.

3. NEVER put your hands or fingers over the spray tip or over

leaks which may occur on the discharge hose or other

components.

4. Always wear protective eye goggles when operating the

equipment.  Additional protective items such as a rubber

perature.

4. KEEP HANDS CLEAR of Belts: Some units equipped with

auto on may start at any time when power is connected.

BEFORE START UP:

HN SERIES

1. CHECK OIL AND FLUID LEVELS: Check pump oil by

locating the oil view window and fill to the red dot.

2. INSTALL LEGS TO BASE. Legs are required for safe pilot

operation and reduce riskof fire. The HN Legs include

forklift fork clearance slots to allow leg installation after

the HN is removed from the pallet. To reduce risk of

serious injury, always block load mechanism in place

before working:

3. CONNECT HOSE AND GUN ASSEMBLY

4. CONNECT THE WATER SUPPLY & TURN WATER ON:

Maintain an adequate supply of water using a ¾" I.D.

steel pipe with a pressure between 25 and  60 PSI.  Burner

power switches should be off before starting. Do not run

dry for longer than one minute.

5. NATURAL GAS/PROPANE GAS: Connect gas supply

using appropriate shut off cock and recommended gas

plumbing procedures, including the use of a soap or leak

detection solutionon all fittings.(Contact your gas

supplier). Note that a Draft Diverter is not included as a

standard feature with the machine. Draft diverters are

required on HN models for better heating efficiency and

improved pilot ignition when cycling gun.Gas regulator,

gas and water supply lines are not included with the
machine.

OPERATION:

1. STARTING:

                       
                       

     Connect power supply and ensure that all wiring connec-

tions and voltages are of sufficient rating to comply with the

equipments requirements. Turn pump power switch on.

Press "Reset" button to start motor if equipped with a Wash

Station Remote.

2. CONNECT SPRAY NOZZLE: Connect Nozzle securely to

spray wand and/or close pressure adjusting knob on dual

wand, hold gun firmly, squeeze trigger for high pressure spray.

3. START BURNER: Turn burner switch on.  Unit is equipped

with an automatic lighting pilot with a 90 second lockout.

If burner does not light within 90 seconds turn burner

switch off then on again to start ignition sequence over.

Turn the thermostat to the desired temperature. Squeeze

the trigger on the spray gun and the burner will begin

heatingthe water. It will stop firing whenever the water

spray is off or if the temperature setting is exceeded.

4. STEAM: Insert steam nozzle and turn thermostat to 250º

steam setting.  The steam nozzle is sized for approximately

25% less water volume than the hot water mode.

5. WASH STATION REMOTE: Install station on the wall at

a convenient wash site. ("R" models only) Control

switches in the Wash Station Remote will over-ride and

operate the HN Pump, Burner, and Soap Valve functions.

Soap (Chemical) Valve at machine must be preset before

soap switch at remote is activated. 

WARNING: 

Do not

leave soap switch in the "ON" position when soap is

depleted. Pressure drop will occur due to air intake and

harm system components. Remote systems have an Auto

off feature with an adjustable timer that can be set to your

preference.
