** Hot Water Pressure Washers Only
Eectrically Operated Burners – Some models generate 12V from the gasoline engine
and provide the necessary power for the burner. Others utilize a 120v connection which
must be grounded. IF YOU REQUIRE UPGRADES OR MODIFICATIONS TO
YOUR EXISTING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN ORDER TO OPERATE YOUR
PRESSURE WASHER, THEY MUST BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN AND BE COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE TO ALL APPLICABLE
CODES IN YOUR AREA OF OPERATION. The power supply must be adequate for
your specific unit. Make sure to verify the data plate for your machine’s specific
requirements (i.e. voltage, amperage, etc).
WARNING:
All electrically powered units must be provided with suitable overload and
overcurrent protection in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code part 1.
Confirm the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is in good working order.
6. Pressure adjustment - The pressure regulator (unloader) is located on the pump (see
diagram). It controls the pressure being generated by the pressure washer. This
regulator may be adjusted to the desired pressure by turning the adjustment knob.
Turning the adjustment knob clockwise will increase the pressure. NEVER OPERATE
SYSTEM AT A HIGHER P S I THAN THE MAXIMUM RATING. This machine has
been adjusted to operate at a specific maximum pressure as per the machine
specifications. Pressure may be reduced for lighter use by turning the Pressure
Regulator/Unloader counter clockwise.
7. You are now ready to start the cleaning operation - Pull trigger on the pressure wand
assembly to start cleaning. To stop the pressurized water, release the trigger. DO NOT
LEAVE UNIT RUNNING WHEN NOT IN USE.
8. **To stop Burner operation – Turn the b u r n e r control switch to off (or PUMP for
electric machines) and run pump for two minutes with the trigger gun pulled to allow
the coil to cool down. After the cooling period is complete, turn off main
power to engine/motor. Squeeze and release the trigger for the second time in order to
relieve the pump system of pressure.
9. Prior to storage – Inspect the pressure washer for any damage or required
maintenance. If your machine needs to be exposed to cold weather, please refer to the
winterization instructions found in this manual. If possible, do not allow unit to remain
outside in the elements.
10.Warning – If unit is left running while not in use, pump damage may occur. Do
not leave unit running while not in use!
11.Battery Specifications for electric start systems only – Rating: 165CCA,
190 CA or better, dimensions: 8” x 5” x 6”.
