5. Insert quick coupler onto discharge nipple and secure
by pushing quick coupler collar forward.
6. Securely attach the desired high pressure nozzle into
wand coupler as described in steps 4 and 5.
7. Connect the power cord into the proper electrical out-
let, then push in the GFCI reset button. (Refer to serial
plate for voltage requirements.)
8. Grip spray gun handle securely and pull trigger. Then
turn variable pressure control handle counterclockwise.
9. Turn switch to pump position. When a steady stream of
water flows from the spray gun and wand, the machine
is ready for cold water cleaning by turning the variable
pressure control handle clockwise to raise the pressure.
10. For hot water washing, turn the switch to the burner
position. (The burner will light automatically when the
trigger on the spray gun is pulled.)
To Stop
1. If using an optional detergent injector, place the deter-
gent line in a bucket of water allowing detergent to be
flushed from system.
2. Turn burner switch OFF and continue spraying water,
allowing the water to cool.
3. After water has cooled to less than 100
°
F, turn pres-
sure washer OFF.
4. Turn garden hose water OFF. Open the spray gun to
relieve remaining pressure.
5. Protect from freezing.
AUTO START/STOP OPTION
Timer Operation
Once the pump switch is turned ON, simply triggering the
spray gun is all it takes to start the machine. Once the trigger
is released the timer will let the machine bypass water for
15 seconds. It also starts an internal 5 to 60 minute lockout
timer. This feature is totally adjustable by the operator by
adjusting the knob at the top of the timer. We recommend
setting the timer for 15 minutes. To reset the lockout feature,
operator must trigger the spray for 10 full seconds.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Use clean fuel - kerosene, No. 1 home heating fuel or
diesel fuel. Clean or replace fuel filter every 100 hours
of operation. Avoid water contaminated fuel as it will
seize up the fuel pump. De-soot coils monthly. Use an
additive if diesel is being used.
2. Check to see that the pressure washer water pump is
properly lubricated.
3. Follow winterizing instructions to prevent freeze dam-
age to pump and coils.
4. Always neutralize and flush detergent from system
after use.
5. If water is known to be high in mineral content, use a
water softener on your water system, or de-scale as
needed.
6. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be
pumped through system.
7. Always use high grade quality cleaning detergents.
8. Never run pressure washer pump without water for
extended periods of time.
9. If machine is operated with smoky or eye burning
exhaust, coils will soot up, not letting water reach maxi-
mum operating temperature. (See
Maintenance and
Service
section).
10. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near the motor
or burner assembly or any electrical component.
11. It is advisable, periodically, to visually inspect the burner.
Check air inlet to make sure it is not clogged or blocked.
Wipe off any oil spills and keep equipment clean and
dry.
The areas around the pressure washer should be kept clean
and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
The flow of ventilating air to the burner must not be blocked
or obstructed in any manner.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Unloader Valves
Unloader valves relieve pressure in the pump head when a
shut-off spray gun is closed. Machines with unloader valves
are preset and tested at the factory before shipping.
Occasional adjustment of the unloader may be necessary
to maintain correct pressure. Adjustments to the unloader
should only be made by an authorized, trained service
person.
Winterizing Procedure
Damage due to freezing is not covered by warranty. Adhere
to the following cold weather procedures whenever the
washer must be stored or operated outdoors under freezing
conditions.
During winter months, when temperatures drop below
32
°
F, protecting your machine against freezing is necessary.
Store the machine in a heated room. If this is not possible
then mix a 50/50 solution of antifreeze/water or windshield
washer fluid with water in a 5 gallon bucket. Place a short
section of garden hose into the bucket and connect it to the
machine. Elevate the bucket and turn the pump on to siphon
the antifreeze through the machine. If compressed air is
available, an air fitting can be screwed into the inlet
connector and by injecting compressed air, all water will be
blown out of the system.
