maintenance
WARNING: Unauthorized machine modification or
use of non-approved replacement parts may cause
personal injury and/or property damage and will void
the manufacturer warranty.
pump
lubrication:
To lubricate pump, use 30W non-detergent
oil for pump crankcase. Crankcase must be filled to the
full mark on the dipstick or to center of sight glass window
found on the side of the pump, refer to
figure 7.
During
the break-in-period, make sure the oil is changed after the
first 25 hours of operation. After that, replace oil every 3
months or 300 hours, whichever comes first.
proper pump care
•
do not
pump acids.
•
do not
allow pump to run dry.
•
Winterize if storing in freezing temperatures, refer
to
storage & maintenance
for details.
•
Use a water softener on the water system if known
to be high in mineral content.
•
Use only high quality detergents and follow manu-
facturer’s mix recommendations.
•
Flush the system with clear water immediately after
using detergent solutions.
•
Clean filter screen on detergent inlet line periodi-
cally.
•
Flush the pressure washer system with antifreeze
if storing for an extended period of time, refer to
storage & maintenance
for details.
pump motor
On a yearly basis, oil pump motor per instructions on
motor nameplate.
unloader valve
WARNING: The unloader valve on this pressure
washer has been factory set and sealed and is a field
nonadjustable part. Tampering with the factory setting
may cause personal injury and/or property damage,
and will void the manufacturer warranty. For replace-
ment parts refer to Pump Assembly.
burner fuel filter
Drain any water which has accumulated in fuel filter and
clean or replace element as needed. For replacement
parts, refer to
burner assembly
.
heating coil
coil descaling:
In hard water areas, scale buildup within
the heating coil will occur. Scale deposits will decrease
the water temperature rise and may eventually clog the
heating coil. Contact your local service center when
descaling is needed.
coil desooting:
Poor grades of fuel oil or inadequate
combustion air will cause heavy soot buildup on the
outside surface of the heating coil. These deposits will
insulate the coil. This will restrict the air flow through the
coil, further aggravating the soot buildup. Contact your
local service center when desooting is needed.
rupture disk
If pressure from pump or thermal expansion should
exceed safe limits, the rupture disk will burst, allowing
high pressure to be discharged through hose to ground.
When the disk ruptures it will need to be replaced.
Caution: Inspect rupture disk annually for any
obstruction.
