WATER SUPPly
1. Select a water supply hose which is a quality grade of garden hose
measuring at least ¾” ID and no longer than 50 feet.
2. Ensure the water strainer is clean and free of obstructions. Check float
tank for any foreign objects or debris. If water flow becomes restricted
to the pump, cavitation can occur which will cause premature failure of
the pump packings.
3. Connect one end of the water supply hose to the float tank inlet and
connect the other end to the pressurized water supply.
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:
a. Water pressure must be between a minimum of 40 PSI and a
maximum of 65 PSI.
b. Incoming GPM must be approximately one gallon more per minute
than the outgoing GPM stated on the machine nameplate. (You
can check the GPM of your source by timing the filling of a 5 gallon
container.)
c. Incoming water temperature must not exceed 125°F. Excessive
pump damage may result if the water temperature exceeds this level.
5. Never allow the unit to operate without the incoming water line
attached and the water supply completely turned on.
NOTICE
• If there is a high mineral content in your water, it is recommended that
a water softener be used to prevent the possibility of excessive scale
buildup inside the heat exchanger coil.
PRE-START INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Before starting the unit, perform the following procedures:
1. Check the oil level in the pump.
2. Inspect the water inlet strainer. Clean or replace if necessary. See
“Water Supply”, #21.
3. Check all hose connections to ensure they are securely tightened.
4. Inspect for system water leaks, oil leaks and fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is
found, DO NOT START UNIT! See “Risk of Explosion or Fire”, pg. 8.
Be sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical
problems are corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you require
service, contact Customer Service.
5. Inspect high pressure hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or leak
is found, DO NOT USE HOSE! Replace hose before starting unit.
See “Risk of Injection or Severe Cutting Injury”, pg. 9. Be sure that all
damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems are
corrected prior to operation of the unit. If you require service, contact
Customer Service.
