QB Oil Fired Water Heaters • Rev. 4/13/2016
INSTALLATION
1.
These water heaters are certified for installation on non-combustible floors.
2.
Electrically 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.
2. Fill fuel tank with kerosene, diesel, or #2 fuels.
3. Provide clean water to inlet connection via water hose supply line. WATER MUST BE IN
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY, AND PRESSURE MUST BE BETWEEN 20 –60 PSI TO ENSURE
PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION. Specific attention should be given if using a well water
supply. Ensure water is flowing from nozzle with trigger gun pulled. Deplete system of all air.
4. This machine is not to be connected to a Type B gas vent.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO OPERATE MAIN BURNER
Be sure water is flowing through water heater coil before turning on burner switch. Start
pumping unit involved until a steady stream of water is flowing from the spray gun. Turn
burner switch to “On” position. Burner will ignite and remain in operation as long as there is
sufficient water flow to satisfy the pressure switch and temperature limit control. To shut off
main burner, turn burner switch to “Off”.
CONDENSATION FROM COIL
When cold water is being pumped through the heater coil and the burner is firing, condensation
may form at times on coil and drip down the burner compartment. This can be particularly
noticeable on cold, humid days giving the false appearance of a leaking coil. A leaking coil is
identified by a continuously cycling pump. With the wand trigger off, the pressure gauge should
read 0 with no flow.
