PRESSURE WASHER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Getting Started
IMPORTANT: The use of a backow preventer on
the water supply hose is recommended and may be
required by local code.
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 life. All installations should comply with
the local codes covering such installations.
Venting
CAUTION: All venting must be in accordance with ap-
plicable federal and state laws, and local ordinances.
Consult local heating contractors.
If the pressure washer is to be used in an enclosed area, a
ue 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 ue is the same size as the burner exhaust vent on
the pressure washer. See Component Identication for
location. 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 sufcient 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 oil red pressure washer
must have a draft regulator installed in the ue (available
from most heating contractors). A draft regulator will
permit proper upward flow of exhaust flue gases.

CLEANING TECHNIQUES
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place de-
tergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and
apply to surface at low pressure (for best results, limit
your work area to sections approximately 6 feet square
and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface appears
to be drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water.
If needed, use brush to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at
high pressure from top to bottom in an even sweeping
motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 1 foot
from cleaning surface. Use overlapping strokes as you
clean and rinse any surface. For best surface cleaning
action spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and
distance for maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping,
use extreme caution as pressure washer may
remove the loose paint from the surface.
• Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from the
surface you plan to clean. High pressure wash a
small area, then check the surface for damage. If
no damage is found, continue to pressure wash-
ing.
CAUTION - Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive
chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinners,
gasoline, oils)
• Tri-sodium phosphate products
• Ammonia products
• Acid-based products
These chemicals will harm the machine and will dam-
age the surface being cleaned.
GENERAL CLEANING TECHNIQUES & STORAGE
RINSING
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Select and install de-
sired high pressure nozzle. NOTE: You can also stop
detergent from owing by removing detergent siphon
tube from bottle.
STORAGE
DANGER: DO NOT store ammable liquids (gasoline,
diesel fuel, solvents, etc.) near pressure washer, or
in non-ventilated areas.
Protect from freezing by storing in a heated area, or by
ushing the system with antifreeze (use an automotive
engine antifreeze or windshield washer solvent to
antifreeze). To flush the system with antifreeze, attach
a short length of hose to the garden hose connector
located on the pump. Place the other end of the hose
into a container of antifreeze. Start machine and allow
to run until antifreeze flows from the end of the wand.
Squeeze and release the trigger of the trigger gun several
times to antifreeze the unloader system. Also draw
antifreeze through the detergent inlet line to antifreeze the
detergent system. For added protection after anti-freezing,
disconnect the pressure hose from machine and remove
the coil drain plug (refer to Component Identication for
location). After coil has drained, replace pressure hose
and coil drain plug.If the pressure washer is not to be used
for an extended length of time, it is recommended that
the system be flushed with antifreeze for rust protection.
