QUICK DESCRIPTION:
To ensure proper operation of your hot water pressure washer with diesel burner after a
long period of inactivity, it is advisable to follow the following steps.
Use appropriate safety equipment
1- Put the battery on charge until it indicates a
charge of at least 80% and 13.8 volts
** Make sure you use the right charger for the
right battery (Lithium or Lead acid battery)
2- Clean the battery posts and connections to
the battery.
3- Clean the electrical outlet connections. Use
any electronic contact cleaner spray
4- Check, add or replace engine oil depending

5- Check and/or replace the spark plug
** It is not necessary to replace the spark
plug every year
6- Check, clean or replace the air filter. Refer to
the manufacturer's manual for more
information.
7- Make sure nothing is in the outlet at the exit
of the coil chimney.
8- If the gas is stale, empty the tank and put in
clean gas. Stale gasoline can be detected by an
aggressive smell and not a normal gasoline
smell.
9- Visually check the fuel filter inside the tank, if
it is clogged with residue, remove it. It is rare
that it is necessary to replace this filter but it
may be required.

10-Check if there is water in the diesel tank,
depending on the circumstances in which
the unit was stored, it is possible that
condensation has formed in the tank.
11-Water does not mix with diesel, it is more
dense than diesel and will end up in the
bottom of the tank. Visually check the color
of diesel in the filter, if it is whitish, empty
the tank until the color of diesel is reddish
and replace the diesel filter.
12- Put the fuel valve in the “ON” position. If the
fuel valve has remained in the “ON” position,
you may need a carburetor cleaning (refer to
technical bulletin #TB10011)
13-Put the choke to the ''ON'' position
14-Connect the high-pressure hose to the coil
outlet but do not connect the gun
15-Check, clean and replace the water filter if
necessary.
16-Connect the water supply and circulate the
water. It is likely that the water will come out
black or brownish at the outlet of the high-
pressure hose, this is completely normal, it is

the reaction of the air with the steel coil
which creates corrosion.
17-Put the throttle lever in the middle, between
½ and 1/3 and by holding the high pressure
hose you can start the engine, slowly
increase the acceleration (RPM) to its
maximum and run the unit 1 to 2 minutes.
18- Stop the unit, close the water supply, connect the gun but without any nozzle,
open the water supply and repeat step #19 but hold the trigger gun. Run the unit
for 10 seconds and then continue to next steps.
19- Install a high-pressure nozzle and press the
trigger gun
20-Still holding the gun trigger, turn on the
burner switch and adjust the thermostat to a
temperature of approximately 120 degrees
Fah. (50 degrees Celsius). The burner should
work, there may be a small delay of a few
seconds as you replaced or drained the fuel
lines, but the burner should light within 5
seconds.
