PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUAL
WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or
ingested, causing severe nau-
sea, fainting or poisoning. The
harmful elements may cause
property damage or severe
injury.
STEP 1: Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure wash-
ers. Household detergents could
damage the pump. Prepare deter-
gent solution as required by the
manufacturer. Fill a container with
pressure washer detergent. Place
the filter end of detergent suction
tube into the detergent container.
STEP 2: Apply safety latch to spray gun trigger. Se-
cure black detergent nozzle into quick coupler. NOTE:
Detergent cannot be applied using the Yellow nozzle.
STEP 3: With the motor running, pull trigger to oper-
ate machine. Liquid detergent
is drawn into the machine
and mixed with water. Apply
detergent to work area. Do
not allow detergent to dry on
surface.
IMPORTANT: You must flush
the detergent injection sys-
tem after each use by placing the suction tube
into a bucket of clean water, then run the pressure
washer in low pressure for 1-2 minutes.
THERMAL PUMP
PROTECTION
If you run your pressure washer for 3-5 minutes without
pressing the trigger on the spray gun, circulating water
in the pump can reach high temperatures. When the
water reaches this temperature, the pump protector
engages and cools the pump by discharging the warm
water onto the ground. This thermal device prevents
internal damage to the pump.
CLEANING TIPS
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 dam-
age. If no damage is found, continue to pressure
washing.
CAUTION - Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive
chemicals
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinner,
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.
RINSING
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Remove black soap
nozzle from the quick coupler. Select and install the
desired high pressure nozzle. NOTE: You can also stop
detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent
siphon tube from bottle.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Use clean fuel — kerosene, No. 1 home heating
fuel, or diesel. Clean or replace fuel filter every 100
hours of operation. Avoid water contaminated fuel
as it will cause the fuel pump to seize. De-soot coils
monthly or use an additive if diesel is being used.
2. Check to see that water pump is properly lubricated
(see pump lubrication below).
3. Follow winterizing procedures to prevent freeze
damage to pump and coils.
4. Always flush detergent from system after use.
5. If water is known to be high in mineral content,
use a water softener on your water system or use
a Landa recognized coil cleaning detergent.
6. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be
pumped through system.
7. Always use high grade quality Landa cleaning
detergents.
8. Never run pump dry for extended periods of time.
9. Periodically delime coils as per instructions.
10. If machine is operated with smoky or eye-burning
exhaust, coils will soot up, preventing water from
reaching maximum operating temperature. (See
section on Burner Adjustments).
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
Pump Lubrication:
Use only SAE 30 weight non-detergent oil. Change oil
after first 50 hours of use. Thereafter, change oil every
three months or at 500 hour intervals. Oil level should
be checked through use of dipstick found on top of
pump or red dot visible through oil gauge window. Oil
should be maintained at that level.
Fuel:
Use clean fuel oil that is not contaminated with water
and debris. Use kerosene, No. 1 home heating fuel or
diesel. Drain fuel tank and replace fuel filter every 100
hours of operation.
Ignition Circuit:
Periodically inspect wires, spring contact and elec-
trodes for condition, security and proper spacing.
Transformer test: (CAUTION 10,000 VOLTS) use
defect free insulated screwdriver and keep fingers
off blade! Lay blade across one contact: OK if arc will
span 1/2” between end of blade and other contact.

Fuel Control System:
These machines utilize a fuel solenoid valve located on
the fuel pump to control the flow of fuel to the combus-
tion chamber. This solenoid valve, which is normally
closed, is activated by a flow switch when water is flow-
ing through it. When an operator releases the trigger on
the spray gun, the flow of water through the flow switch
stops, turning off the current to the fuel solenoid. The
solenoid then closes, shutting off the supply of fuel to
the combustion chamber. Controlling the flow of fuel in
this way allows for an instantaneous burn or no burn
situation, thereby eliminating high and low water tem-
peratures, and combustion smoke normally associated
with machines incorporating a spray gun.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
CAUTION: Periodic inspection is recommended to
insure that the fuel solenoid valve functions properly.
This can be done by operating the machine and check-
ing to see that when the trigger on the spray gun is in
the off position, the burner is not firing.
Fuel Pressure Adjustment:
To adjust fuel pressure, turn the pressure adjusting
screw clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to de-
crease. Do not exceed 200 psi. NOTE: When changing
fuel pump, a by-pass plug must be installed in return
line port or fuel pump will not prime. (See illustration)
Air Adjustment:
The oil burner on this machine is preset for opera-
tion at altitudes below 1000 feet. If operated at higher
altitudes, it may be necessary to adjust the air band
setting. Adjust air band for a #1 or #2 smoke spot on
the Bacharach scale. A one-time initial correction for
your location will pay off in economy, performance,
and extended service life. If a smoky or eye-burning
exhaust is being emitted from the stack, two things
should be checked. First, check the fuel to be certain
that kerosene or No. 1 home heating fuel is being
used. Next, check the air adjustment on the burner. An
oily, smoky fire indicates a lack of air and the air band
should be moved to allow the air to flow through the
burner. Sharp eye-burning fumes indicate too much air
flowing through the combustion chamber. The air band
should be readjusted to allow less air to flow through
the burner.
To adjust: start machine and turn burner ON. Loosen
two locking screws found in the air shutter openings
(refer to illustration on page 8) and close air shutter
until black smoke appears from burner exhaust vent.
Note air band position. Next, slowly open the air shutter
until white smoke just starts to appear. Turn air shutter
halfway back to the black smoke position previously
noted. Tighten locking screws.
If the desired position cannot be obtained using only
the air shutter, lock the air shutter in as close a position
as can be obtained, then repeat the above procedure
on the air band setting.
Burner Nozzle:
Keep the tip free of surface deposits by wiping it with
a clean, solvent-saturated cloth, being careful not to
plug or enlarge the nozzle. For maximum efficiency,
replace the nozzle each season.
Rupture Disk:
If pressure from pump or thermal expansion should
exceed safe limits, the rupture disk will burst, allowing
high pressure to be discharged through hose to ground.
When disk ruptures it will need to be replaced.
Cleaning of Coils:
In alkaline water areas, lime deposits can accumulate
rapidly inside the coil pipes. This growth is increased
by the extreme heat build up in the coil. The best pre-
ventative for liming conditions is to use high quality
cleaning detergents. In areas where alkaline water is an
extreme problem, periodic use of Landa Deliming Pow-
der (Landa Part #9-028008) will remove lime and other
deposits before coil becomes plugged. (See Deliming
Instructions for use of Landa Deliming Powder.)
Deliming Coils:
Periodic flushing of coils is recommended.
Step 1 Fill the float tank with 4 gallons of water,
then add 1 lb. of deliming powder.
Mix thoroughly.
Step 2 Remove nozzle from the wand assembly
and put the wand and spray gun into float
tank. Attach a nylon stocking to the end of
the wand to collect debris.
Step 3 Turn pump switch on, allowing solution to be
pumped through coils and back into the float
tank. Solution should be allowed to circulate
2 - 4 hours.
Step 4 After circulating solution, clean and drain
float tank and flush entire system with fresh
water. Replace nozzle in wand.
Spray Nozzles:
Each machine is equipped with one spray nozzle. Dif-
ferent spray nozzles are calibrated for each machine
depending on the flow and pressure of that particular
model. Spray nozzles vary in bore size and angle of
spray. Popular spray angles are 0°, 15°, 25°, 40°. When
ordering, please specify size and angle of nozzle.
Nozzle size for each machine is located on the serial
plate.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
Unloader Valve:
The unloader valve traps pressure in the line when the
spray gun is closed. Machines with unloader valves
are preset and tested at the factory before shipping.
Tampering with the factory setting may cause per-
sonal injury and/or property damage, and will void the
manufacturer's warranty. Occasional adjustment of the
unloader may be necessary to maintain correct pres-
sure. Consult your local Landa Dealer for the correct
procedure in adjusting the unloader valve.
Winterizing Procedure:
Damage due to freezing is not covered by warranty.
Adhere to the following cold weather procedures when-
ever the washer must be stored or operated outdoors
under freezing conditions.
During winter months, when temperatures drop below
32°F, protecting your machine against freezing is nec-
essary. Siphoning a small amount of antifreeze into the
system is recommended. This is done by pouring a
50/50 mix of antifreeze and water into the float tank and
then siphoning 100% antifreeze through the detergent
line with the pump on. If compressed air is available,
an air fitting can be screwed into float tank strainer fit-
ting and, by injecting compressed air, all water will be
blown out of the system.
Low Pressure Diagnosis:
Refer to Troubleshooting Chart for low pressure. If, by
referring to the chart, the trouble is found to be either
the unloader or pump, your next step is to determine
which is the problem. This can be done by eliminating
the unloader from the system and attaching the dis-
charge hose directly to the pump. If high pressure is
present, then the unloader needs repairing.
CAUTION: When using this procedure to test com-
ponents, keep spray gun open at all times.
Removal of Soot and Heating Coil:
In the heating process, fuel residue in the form of soot
deposits may develop between the heating coil pipe
and block air flow which will affect burner combustion.
When soot has been detected on visual observation,
the soot on the coil must be washed off after following
the coil removal steps which follow.
Coil Removal:
Removal of the coil, because of freeze breakage or to
clean soot from it, can be done quickly and easily.
1. Disconnect hose from pump to inlet side of the coil.
2. Carefully disconnect thermostat sensor, making
sure you do not crimp capillary tube.
3. Remove all the fittings from the inlet and discharge
side of coil.
4. Remove the burner assembly from the combustion
chamber.
5. Remove the 3-3/8" bolts from each side of coil and
tank assembly (these bolts are used to fasten tank
and handles to chassis).
6. Remove the two bolts which are underneath the
bottom wrap (to keep the coil from moving).
7. Remove tank top wrap exposing insulation
and coil.
8. Bend back insulation tabs.
9. Carefully fold back the insulation and remove
insulation retainer plates and coil.
10. Replace or repair any insulation found to be torn
or broken.
11. To reinstall new or cleaned coil, reverse steps 9
through 1.
High Limit Hot Water Thermostat:
For safety, each machine is equipped with a high limit
control switch. In the event the temperature of the water
should exceed its operating temperature the high limit
control will turn the burner off until the water cools.
CAUTION: The thermostat uses a capillary tube. Do
not bend or strike with any object.
