INSTALLATION
VENTILATION:
1. Installationofthisunit inan indooror in an enclosedareashouldbe performed
by a qualied serviceman and all venting must conform to all local, state and
national codes, including the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
No. 54. In Canada; Refer to the CSA B149.1 Gas Installation Code. The
burner exhaust should be stacked to the outside atmosphere and a draft
diverter should be installed as well.
NOTE: There should be no more than 6500 BTU per square inch of ue.
2. A draft diverter must be installed above the exhaust outlet. This diverter
breaks the chimney effect and enhances the draft through the burner for a
more efcient ame. It also helps prevent cold air downdrafts from freezing
the heat exchanger. (See illustration #1)
3. Install the recommended ue pipe per local, state and national codes,
including the National Fuel Gas CodeANSI Z223.1/NFPANo. 54. In Canada;
Refer to the CSA B149.1 Gas Installation Code. If the ue pipe exceeds 10
feet in length or contains more than two elbows, the natural draft may be
eliminated and the burner will not ignite. DO NOT install a movable ue
pipe damper.
4. If the unit is being installed in an enclosed room, provide adequate air for
combustion by installing openings to the room near the ceiling for ventilation
and near the oor for burner combustion. These openings should be sized
using one square inch for each 1000 BTU per inch of the machine.
Example: A pressure washer with a 400,000 BTU input requires openings of 400
square inch or approximately 3 feet x 1 foot. (See illustration #2).
5. If the building in which the unit is being installed seems unusually tightly
constructed, it is recommended that air intakes extending to the outside of the
building be employed to supply combustion air. End the intakes outside the
building with a downward opening to protect these intakes from snow and/or
rain. Include a mesh screen no smaller than 1/4" over the opening.

WATER SUPPLY:
1. Select a water supply hose which is a quality grade of garden hose
measuring at least 3/4" ID and no longer than 50'. (See illustration #3)
2. Connect one end of the water supply hose to the water inlet of the unit.
Connect the other end of the hose to your pressurized water supply.
NOTE: If there is a high mineral content in your water, it is recommended
that a water softener be used to prevent the possibility of excessive
scale buildup inside the heat exchanger coil.
3. Be certain all connections are securely tightened.
a. Water supply hose to the Water Inlet on the unit.
b. Water supply hose to the Pressurized Water Supply.
4. Follow the incoming water requirements listed below:
a. Water pressure must be between a minimum of 20 pounds per
square inch (PSI) and a maximum of 65 PSI.
b. Incoming GPM must be approximately one gallon more than
the outgoing GPM stated on the pressure washer I.D. Plate.
(You can check GPM by timing how long it takes to ll a 5 gallon
container.)
c. Incoming water temperature must not exceed 125°F. Excessive
pump damage may result if the water temperature exceeds this
acceptable level.
NOTE: If the water supply is inadequate or the hose is kinked, the unit will
run rough and the burner will not re.
5. Never allow the unit to operate without the incoming water line attached
and the water supply completely turned on.
6. Ensure the water strainers are clean and free of any obstructions.
Periodic cleaning of the water strainer will help prevent pump problems.
As a strainer becomes obstructed, it restricts proper ow of water to the
pump. This can result in cavitation which will cause premature failure
of pump packings. Remove strainer screens, clean or replace.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once your unit has been installed by a qualied serviceman and you have
completed the PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST on pg. 15, you are ready for
operation. The following steps will help you operate your machine safely.
1. This unit has a steel coil which, after setting, will cause the water remaining
in the coil from the previous usage to turn brown or black. This water must
be ushed from the system before start-up. This procedure should be
performed without the gun and adjustable pressure dual lance installed.
a. Verify the water supply is on.
b. Move the pump switch to the "ON" position to start the pumping unit.
c. Run the unit for 3-5 minutes.
d. Turn off machine.
e. Once the system is ushed, connect the trigger gun and
adjustable pressure dual lance to the high pressure hose.
1. Refer to the "Safety Precautions" pgs. 4-9 before starting the unit.
2. Locate the Safety Decals on your unit and heed their warnings.
3. Ensure that the burner switch is in the "OFF" position.
4. Pointing the trigger gun in a safe direction, unlock the trigger gun and
squeeze the trigger. Brace yourself for possible gun kickback when the
pump starts.
5. Move the pump switch to the "ON" position to start the pumping unit.
6. Once the unit has started, perform the following procedures with the gun
open:
a. Inspect for system water and oil leaks.
b. Inspect high pressure hoses for leaks. If a leak is found, DO NOT TOUCH
HOSE AT LEAK!!! TURN UNIT OFF IMMEDIATELY! Replace hose
before using the unit. See "Risk of Injection" warnings, pg. 7. Be sure
that all damaged parts are replaced and that the mechanical problems
are corrected prior to operation of the unit.
7. At this point, the unit is operating as a cold water pressure washer. Trigger
the gun several times and try adjusting the water pressure by rotating the
grip on the dual lance. NEVER place hand or ngers in front of the nozzle
or look directly into the nozzle! High pressure water creates a risk of severe
injury!
8. Do not allow unit to operate in bypass mode (with trigger closed) for more
than three minutes without triggering the gun. Failure to follow this simple
rule can cause premature failure of pump packing seals, resulting in costly
pump repair.
9. Your pressure washer can deliver high pressure spray and a variety of spray
patterns using cold water. If you wish to use the hot water application or
cleaning with detergents, see pg. 21 for the correct procedures.
