PRESSURE WASHER

INSTALLATION
Place machine in a convenient location providing ample
support, draining and room for maintenance.
This machine is intended for outdoor use. Machine
must be stored indoors when not in use.
Location:
The location should protect the machine from damag-
ing environmental conditions, such as wind, rain, and
freezing.
1. This machine should be run on a level surface
where it is not readily influenced by outside sources
such as strong winds, freezing temperatures, rain,
etc. It should be located to allow accessibility for
refilling of fuel, adjustments and maintenance.
Normal precautions should be taken by the opera-
tor of the machine to prevent moisture from reach-
ing the electrical controls.
2. It is recommended that a partition be made be-
tween the wash area and the machine to prevent
water spray from coming in contact with the ma-
chine. Excess moisture reaching any electric com-
ponents or electrical controls will reduce machine
life and may cause electrical shorts.
3. During installation of the machine, beware of poorly
ventilated locations or areas where exhaust fans
may cause an insufficient supply of oxygen. Suffi-
cient 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 a machine in a poorly ventilated area, out-
side fresh air may have to be piped to the burner
and a fan installed to bring air into the machine.
Avoid small locations or areas near exhaust fans.
Electrical:
This machine, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance to local codes. Check for
proper power supply using a volt meter.
Placement:
Do not locate near any combustible material. Keep all
flammable material at least 20 feet away.
Allow enough space for servicing the machine.
Local code will require certain distances from floor and
walls. (Two feet away from walls should be adequate.)
Water Source:
The water source for the pressure washer should be
supplied by a minimum 5/8" I.D. garden hose with a
city water pressure of not less than 30 PSI. If the water
supply is inadequate, or if the garden hose is kinked,
the attached pressure washer will run very rough and
the burner will not fire.
Connection:
Connect the wand, nozzle, hose and spray gun (where
applicable). On pipe thread connections, use teflon tape
to avoid water leaks. (See Component Identification).
Venting:
Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner is not
recommended because restricted air flow causes car-
bon build-up, which affects the operation, and increases
maintenance on the coil. If a stack must be used, re-
frain from using 90° bends. If the pipe can not go straight
up then use only 45° bends and go to the next size
pipe. The overall pipe length must not exceed 6 feet in
length*.
*Note: After vent pipe installation test burner using a
smoke tester and adjust air setting to achieve a #3 or
below results.
