Oil Burner
Burner Air Adjustment: The oil burner is preset for
operation at altitudes below 3000 feet. If operated at higher
altitudes, it may be necessary to adjust the air band
setting. A one-time initial correction of the burner for your
location will pay off in economy, performance, and
extended service life.
To adjust, start machine and turn burner ON (refer to
Operation for details). Loosen locking screw (refer to
Figure 6) and close air band until black smoke appears
from burner exhaust vent. Note air band position. Next,
slowly open the air band until white smoke just starts to
appear. Turn air band halfway back to the black smoke
position previously noted. Tighten locking screw.
CAUTION: If white smoke appears from burner
exhaust vent during start-up or operation, discontinue
use and readjust air bands.
NOTE: If a flue is installed, have a professional ser-
viceman adjust your burner for a #1 or #2 smoke spot
on the Bacharach scale.
OPERATION
Before Starting
1. Read all manuals provided with this pressure washer.
Become familiar with location and function of all
operating and safety controls.
WARNING: Check hoses, fittings, wand, trigger gun
and fuel connections daily for signs of wear, cracks
and looseness, and replace as required.
2. Connect water supply hose to the garden hose con-
nector located on pump. The water faucet and supply
hose must be capable of providing a minimum of 3.5
gallons per minute (GPM).
3. Fill oil burner fuel tank. Use kerosene, #1 grade home
heating oil, #1 or #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT USE GASO-
LINE, CRANKCASE OIL DRAININGS, OR WASTE
OIL.
WARNING: DO NOT fill engine fuel tank while engine
is running or hot. Let engine cool before refueling or
spontaneous fire may result. Fuel spillage or vapors
could ignite if engine is hot.
4. Fill the engine fuel tank. Do not overfill, fill to the bot-
tom of filler neck only. Use lead free gasoline mini-
mum 86 octane. DO NOT use gasoline containing
more than 15% MTBE, 5% methanol or 10% ethanol.
Refer to the provided gasoline engine manual for
additional details.
5. Check pump and engine oil levels.
6. If detergents are to be used, only use detergents
intended for pressure washers. Follow instructions on
the detergent container.
IMPORTANT: Before installing pressure nozzle on ini-
tial start-up, turn on the water supply and allow water
to run from the end of the wand until clear to prevent
the pressure nozzle from clogging.
IMPORTANT: If the pressure washer has not been
used for an extended period of time, remove the pres-
sure nozzle from the end of the wand and turn on
water supply. Allow water to run from the end of the
wand until clear.
