Installation
Place machine in a convenient location providing
ample support, drainage and room for maintenance.
These machines are designed for indoor use. They
must be stored indoors when not in use.
Location:
The location should protect the machine from
damaging environmental conditions, such as wind, rain,
and freezing temperatures.
The machine should be run on a level surface where it
is not readily influenced by outside sources such as
strong winds, freezing temperatures, 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.
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 electrical components or
controls will reduce machine life and may cause elec-
trical shorts.
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 suffi-
cient supply of oxygen available for the amount of fuel
being burned. If it is necessary to install a machine in a
poorly ventilated area, outside fresh air may have to be
piped to the burner and a fan installed bringing the air
into the machine.
WARNING: Avoid small areas or areas near
exhaust fans.
AVERTISSEMENT: Éviter les petites superficies ou
les surfaces à proximité des ventilateurs
d'extraction.
Electrical
The machine, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance to local codes. Check for
proper power supply using a volt meter. The
HOT 2-1100, HOT 2-1500, and HOT 3-1100 each
require a 115V-20 amp receptacle to comply to the UL
1776 Standard.
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
Water source for 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 machine will run very rough
and the burner will not fire.
Connection
Connect the wand, nozzle, hose and spray gun, where
applicable (see Component Identification). On pipe
thread connections, use Teflon tape to avoid water
leaks.
Venting
Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner is not
recommended. The pipe restricts air flow which causes
carbon buildup, which affects the operation, and
increases maintenance on the coil. If a stack must be
used, refrain from using 90° bends. If the pipe cannot
go straight up then use only 45° bends and go to the
next larger size pipe. The overall pipe length must not
exceed 6 feet. The addition of a vent pipe will require
an air adjustment and smoke test.
