14. To prevent a serious injury, make certain quick cou-
pler on discharge hose has locked before using pres-
sure washer.
15. Do not allow acids, caustic or abrasive fluids to pass
through the pump.
16. Inlet water must be cold and clean fresh water.
17. Do not allow CHILDREN to operate the pressure
washer at any time.
THIS MACHINE MUST BE
ATTENDED DURING OPERATION.
18. The best insurance against an accident is precau-
tion, and knowledge of the machine.
19. Do not operate this product when fatigued or under
the influence of alcohol or drugs. Keep operating area
clear of all persons.
20. We will not be liable for any changes made to our
standard machines, or any components not pur-
chased from us.
21. Do not overreach or stand on unstable support. Keep
good footing and balance at all times.
22. Follow the maintenance instructions specified in the
manual.
23. When making repairs disconnect from electrical
source.
24. Turn burner off and open spray gun to allow water to
flow and cool coil to 100
°
F before turning machine
off.
25. Before disconnecting high pressure hose from
hot water outlet, turn off burner to allow water to cool
to 100
°
F, then turn off pump motor and water supply
and operate spray gun to relieve back pressure in
hose. This will prevent coil damage from thermal
expansion.
Caution: This machine produces hot water and must
have insulated components attached to protect the
operator.
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.
1. This 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. It
should be located to allow accessibility for refilling of
fuel, adjustments and maintenance. Normal precau-
tions should be taken by the operator of the machine
to prevent moisture from reaching the electrical con-
trols.
2. It is recommended that a partition be made between
the wash area and the machine to prevent water spray
from coming in contact with the machine. Excess
moisture reaching any electric components or elec-
trical 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 com-
bustion 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 ma-
chine in a poorly ventilated area, outside fresh air may
have to be piped to the burner and a fan installed to
bring air into the machine.
Avoid small locations or areas near exhaust fans.
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 from walls should be adequate.)
Water Source
The water source for the pressure washer should be
supplied by a minimum 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
Figures 1 and 2
.)
Venting
Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner is not
recommended because restricted air flow 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 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.
OPERATION
To Start
1.
STOP!
Read
Operator’s Manual
before operating.
Failure to read operation and warning instructions may
result in personal injury or property damage.
2. Connect water supply hose and turn on water.
3. Check fuel tank and pump oil levels.
4. Connect high pressure hose to discharge nipple by
sliding quick coupler collar back. (If detergent is to be
applied, insert a detergent injector as shown in Com-
ponent Identification).
