Warning Box Words & Icons
Warning Boxes are provided throughout this Technical Manual and are used to call attention to various details
about either the equipment that are important enough to separate from the normal operating descriptions,
procedures and / or a safety-related situation that the operator must be aware of. The appearance of the basic
Warning Box is shown in Figure A. There are generally four information points provided by each Warning Box
that follow a defined pattern. Figure A defines the positions of the information points.
Figure A - Warning Box Definition
Icon 1:
Icon 1 is the primary indication of the contents of the Warning Box. The Icon is meant to visually alert the
reader to the level of importance of the Warning.
Icons 2, 3, 4:
The icons that appear to the right of the Warning Box Classification provide a secondary indication of the
contents of the Information Box. The position is labeled Icon 2, 3, 4 in Figure a (above) because there may be
multiple types of alerts associated with the warning. The types of Icons found in Icon Box 2 are as follows:
When Icon 2 is the same as Icon 1, it means that there is no further specific information about the type of Alert.
If Icon 2 is different than the icon shown in Icon Box 1, it means that there is more specific information
available about the type of Alert. An example of an Warning Box where there would be two different Icons
shown in Icon Box 1 and Icon Box 2 would be that of a burn hazard. In this case, Icon Box 1 will show an Icon
representing a burn hazard. If the burn hazard was created by a particular substance such as gasoline, Icon Box
2 would be an Icon indicating a Flammable Fluid.
In certain instances, additional icons will appear after Icon #2. These icons will either enhance the definition of
the warning or they will indicate the presence of additional hazards that may exist either because of the original
condition or in addition to the original condition.
Warning Box Alert Classifications
The Warning Box Alert Classification is an indication of the level of importance of the Warning Box. The
various levels of Alert Types are defined below, from the most important (Danger) to items of lesser
importance.

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 flushed from the system before start-up. This procedure should be performed
without any of the discharge hoses attached.
1. Turn the water supply ON.
2. Turn the temperature control valve counter clockwise (CCW) until water begins to flow. This allows the unit to
flush any particles from the system. The unit is flushed when the water is clear.
3. Once the system has been flushed, turn off the temperature control valve and connect the discharge hoses to the
water heater outlets.
NOTE: Make sure injector switch is in the off position
4.2 Start-Up Procedures
1. Locate safety decals on the water heater and heed their warnings
2. Fill the burner fuel tank with #1 or #2 fuel oil, diesel or kerosene.
3. Plug the water heater into an outlet matching the plug on the cord. (If connected to a circuit protected with fuse,
use time delay fuses with this water heater).
4. Connect the inlet water supply to the unit.
NOTE: Flush water supply before connecting to unit.
5. Connect fresh rinse discharge hose (Black) and decon solution discharge hose (Red) to the corresponding
discharges on the unit. Connect the “male” end of the hose to the shower system.
6. Turn the temperature control valve clockwise (CW), to the OFF position.
7. Open the water supply completely to charge the water heater.
8. Open the temperature control valve, counter-clockwise (CCW), until water begins to flow from the shower heads.
RISK OF UNIT DAMAGE
BE CERTAIN THE DISCHARGE HOSE IS NOT
CONNECTED TO THE UNIT WHILE FLUSHING THE

9. Allow the water to flow until all air is released from the supply hoses.
10. Once the system is in full flow, turn the power switch to the ON position.
4.3 Hot Water Operation
1. Once the unit has started, perform the following procedures with the temperature control valve open but, in the
cold position.
a) Inspect the system for any water, oil or fuel leaks. If a leak is noted, Turn The Unit OFF Immediately. Be
sure that all damaged parts are replaced and that all mechanical problems have been corrected prior to
proceeding.
b) Inspect discharge hoses for kinking, cuts and leaks. If a cut or leak has been noted, Turn the Unit OFF
Immediately. Replace damaged hose and ensure all mechanical problems have been corrected prior to
proceeding.
2. Turn the temperature control valve counter-clockwise (CCW) to the desired temperature.
NOTE: Upon initial start-up, water will to begin heat in approximately 20 seconds and will reach maximum
temperature in approximately 2 ½ minutes. During initial temperature setting, move the temperature control
valve slowly allowing time for the thermometer to register the accurate temperature. Be extremely cautious when
adjusting the temperature to avoid the possibility of burns.
4.4 Solution Injector Operation
1. Turn the water heater ON and begin flowing heated water to the showerheads and spray wands.
2. Fully immerse solution pickup in the solution container.
3. Once the unit is running and the solution has been filled, turn the switch to the ON position to activate the injector.
4. When the unit is operating, liquid will be drawn from the solution container and a ‘clicking’ sound will be heard.
5. When finished using the decon solution, siphon water through the system, to flush the decon solution.
6. When finished flushing the injector system, turn off the injector by turning the switch to the OFF position.
RISK OF BURN
THE WATER TEMPERATURE MAY BECOME VERY HOT

4.5 Shutdown Procedures
1. Turn the power switch OFF. Run cold water through the system for 3-5 minutes to cool the heat exchanger and
components. (NOTE: Insufficient cool down period of complete system, will cause excessive wear and
strain on the system).
2. While unit is cooling, empty the decon solution tank; clean and refill with clean water.
3. Submerse injection hose pickup, turn the injector to the “ON” position, and allow clean water to flush the injector
and decon solution discharge hose.
4. Turn the water supply “OFF”. Disconnect supply hose from the water heater and drain the system.
5. Disconnect all discharge hoses and attach the supplied “blowout cap” to the intake of the unit. Purge the system
of remaining water with compressed air and cap all openings.
6. Store all hoses and electrical cords in their proper locations.
7. Wipe the unit clean and if necessary, winterize the water heater.
RISK OF INJECTION CAUSING SEVERE INJURY
To prevent accidental high pressure discharge, Do Not leave
the unit unattended until system has cooled and the
temperature control valve is in the OFF position
