Assembly Instructions

STEP 1:

 Place machine in a conve-

nient location providing ample 
support, drainage and room for 
maintenance. Remove pallet bolts 
and remove pallet, then re-install 
bolts to level machine by adjusting 
(machine must be level).

STEP 2:

 Place the pump package 

on top of the heat exchange and 
attach the small high pressure hose 
to the fittings as shown.

STEP 3: 

Remove the hex head 

screws from electrical access 
panel. 

NOTE: bottom right screw will 
only loosen; access panel is 
designed to pivot on this screw. 
Once access panel is rotated out 
of the way, attach the electrical 
harness from the pressure 
washer to the heating module as 
follows:

a.

Feed pressure washer wire 
harness through the upper 
wire hole located on the 
side of the machine 

b.

On the right side of the 
incoming power terminal 
block, connect the black 
wire to line L1, the red wire 
to line L2, and the white 
wire to line L3.

c.

Attach the green wire to the 
ground terminal block.

CAUTION: Have qualified electri-
cian attach the proper supply 
cord to the terminal labeled L1, 
L2 and L3.

ATTENTION: Demander à un 
électricien qualifié de raccorder 
le cordon d'alimentation 
approprié à la borne étiquetée 
L1, L2 et L3.

STEP 4:

 Do not turn power on to equipment until the heating module is 

filled with water, as severe damage may occur to heater elements.

Prior to shipping, a rust inhibitor was added to the hot water tank. This will 
mix with the added water to prevent rust build-up inside the tank.

Install water fill spout (see Component ID page, shipped loose). Spout 
opening should be facing up. Insert water hose and fill. Do not over fill to 
allow for thermal expansion. (Maximum is 80 gallons). After heater tank 
has been filled to the top, operate for one week and then add one quart of 
oil to slow evaporation. Be sure to replace spout plug, hand tight only.

Turn on main power supply to unit. Set 7 day programmable timer to 
desired ON/OFF time and switch machine power on, Water will heat up to 
operating temperature in 30 to 60 minutes. The heater will turn off automat-
ically when 200°F is reached. Water will come out of heater fill spout due to 
heat expansion. However, this will stop after temperature is reached.

Leave main power on to the machine to ensure hot water on pump start up.
