Operations
Installation
Place machine in a convenient location providing
ample support, draining and room for maintenance.
Location
The location should protect the machine from
damaging environmental conditions, such as; wind,
rain, and freezing.
Machine must be stored indoors when not in use.
1. The machine should be run on a level surface
where it is not readily influenced by outside
sources such as strong winds, freezing tempera-
tures, rain, etc. The machine should be located to
allow accessibility for refilling of fuel, adjustments
and maintenance. Normal precautions should be
taken by the operator of the machine to prevent
excess moisture from reaching the power unit or
electrical controls.
2. It is recommended that a partition be made
between the wash area and the machine to
prevent direct water spray from coming in contact
with the machine. Excess moisture reaching any
electric components or electrical controls will
reduce machine life and may cause electrical
shorts.
3. During installation of the machine, beware of
poorly ventilated locations or areas where exhaust
fans may cause an insufficient supply of oxygen.
Sufficient combustion can only be obtained when
there is a sufficient supply of oxygen available for
the amount of fuel being burned.
Electrical
This machine, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance to local codes. Check
for proper power supply using a volt meter.
Placement
Do not locate near any combustible material.
Keep all flammable material at least 20 feet away.
Allow enough space for servicing the machine.
Local code will require certain distances from floor and
walls. (Two feet away should be adequate.)
Water Source
The water source for the machine should be supplied
by a 5/8" I.D. garden hose with a city water pressure of
not less than 30 psi. If the water supply is
inadequate, or if the garden hose is kinked, the
attached pressure washer will run very rough and the
burner will not fire.
Connection
Connect the wand, nozzle, hose and spray gun (where
applicable). On pipe thread connections, use teflon
tape to avoid water leaks.
(See Component Identification)
Venting
Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner is not
recommended. It restricts air flow, causing carbon
build-up, which affects the operation, and increases
maintenance on the coil. If a stack must be used,
refrain from using 90° bends. If the pipe can not go
straight up then use only 45° bends and go to the next
size pipe. The overall pipe length must not exceed 6
feet in length. Adjust burner air settings after stack is
installed
