Installation
Getting Started
IMPORTANT: Proper initial installation of equipment
will assure more satisfactory performance, longer
service life and lower maintenance cost.
IMPORTANT: The use of a backflow preventer on the
water supply hose is recommended and may be
required by local codes.
The pressure washer should be run on a level surface
where it is not readily influenced by outside sources such
as strong winds, freezing temperatures, rain, etc. The
pressure washer should be located to assure easy
access for filling of fluids, adjustments and maintenance.
Normal precautions should be taken by the operator to
prevent moisture from reaching the pressure washer. It
is recommended that a partition be made between the
wash area and the pressure washer to prevent direct
spray from the wand coming in contact with the pressure
washer. Moisture reaching the equipment will reduce the
pressure washer’s service life. All installations should
comply with the local codes covering such installations.
Venting
CAUTION: Some gases are heavier than air and will
spill out on the floor in the 2 to 3 minutes required for
the safety pilot valve to close off gas supply.
There-
fore, always provide adequate space and ventilation
around these units.
ATTENTION: Certains gaz sont plus lourds que l'air
et s'accumuleront au sol le temps requis pour la
soupape de sûreté de la veilleuse pour couper
l'alimentation en gaz. Par conséquent, toujours
fournir un espace de dégagement et une ventilation
adéquats autour de ces appareils.
CAUTION: All venting must be in accordance with
applicable federal and state laws, and local ordi-
nances. Consult local heating contractors.
ATTENTION: Toute la ventilation doit être conforme
aux lois fédérales et de l'État ou de la province, et
aux réglementations locales applicables. Consulter
des entrepreneurs en systèmes de chauffage locaux.
IMPORTANT: This machine is not to be connected to
a type B gas vent. NE PAS RACCORDER CET
APPAREIL À UN TUYAU D’ÉVACUATION DE GAZ DU
TYPE B.
IMPORTANT: A draft diverter shall be installed.

If the pressure washer is to be used in an enclosed
area, a flue must be installed to vent burner exhaust to
the outside atmosphere. Exhaust gases should not be
vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a
building. Be sure the flue is the same size as the burner
exhaust vent on the pressure washer. Poor draft will
cause the pressure washer to soot and not operate
properly. When selecting the location for installation,
beware of poorly ventilated locations or areas where
exhaust fans may cause an insufficient supply of
oxygen. Proper combustion can only be obtained when
there is a sufficient supply of oxygen available for the
amount of fuel being burned. If it is necessary to install
the machine in a poorly ventilated area, outside fresh
air may have to be piped to the burner and a fan
installed to bring sufficient air into the machine. Locate
the pressure washer so that the flue will be as straight
as possible and protrude through the roof at a proper
height and location to provide adequate draft. This gas
fired pressure washer must have a draft diverter
installed in the flue (available from most heating
contractors). A draft diverter will permit proper upward
flow of exhaust flue gases.
Water Supply
Connect water supply hose to the garden hose
connector. See
Component Identification
for location.
The water faucet and supply hose must be capable of
providing a minimum of 2.2 gallons per minute (GPM).
Fuel Supply
CAUTION: Have a qualified gas serviceman install
and service your equipment.
ATTENTION: La modification, l'installation et
l'entretien de l'équipement doivent être confiés à un
technicien d'entretien qualifié dans le domaine du
gaz.
WARNING: Gas line supply pressure must not
exceed 14 water column inches (w.c.i.) (.50 PSI).
AVERTISSEMENT: La pression d'alimentation de la
conduite d'alimentation en carburant ne doit pas
excéder 14 pouces de colonne d'eau (.50 PSI).
IMPORTANT: Gas line must be provided with a shut
off valve.
IMPORTANT: The gas supply must be able to
supply a minimum of 245,000 BTU/HR at the
machines rated manifold pressure.
Consult building codes for installation requirements.
For proper and safe machine operation, we
recommend that a licensed contractor be consulted for
machine installation.
