at a proper height and location to provide adequate draft.
This oil fired unit must have a draft controller installed in
the flue. A draft controller will permit proper upward air
flow of exhaust flue gases.
V.) Getting Started
IMPORTANT: Proper initial installation of equipment
will assure more satisfactory performance, longer
service life, and lower maintenance cost.
IMPORTANT: The use of a back flow preventer (Part
#222815 call 1-800-270-0810 to order) on the water
supply hose is recommended and may be required
by local code.
VI.) Oil Burner
Burner Air Adjustment: The oil burner is preset and
performance tested at the factory (elevation 1100 feet).
A one-time initial correction of the burner for your
location will pay off in economy, performance, and
extended service life.
Make sure the pressure washer is on a level surface and
in a protected area where it is not readily influenced by
outside forces such as strong winds, freezing
temperatures, rain, etc. Locate the pressure washer for
easy access for filling fluids, adjustments, and
maintenance.
Air Band
It is recommended that a partition be made between the
wash area and the pressure washer to prevent direct
nozzle spray from coming in contact with the pressure
washer. Moisture reaching the equipment will reduce
the pressure washer’s service life.

1.) Turn the pump and heat switches on (Refer to
“Operation” for details). Have someone operate the
spray gun so the burner fires.
2.) Loosen the locking screw and close the air band until
black smoke appears from the burner exhaust vent.
Note the position of the white arrow on the air band.
3.) Slowly open the air band until white smoke just starts

DANGER: Do not run machine indoors or in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation, or in
areas where flammable vapors, (gasoline, solvents,
etc.) may be present. Do not vent exhaust gases into
a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space.
5.) Fine tune the burner air by loosening the shutter lock
screw and turning the shutter until the exhaust is
cleanest. Tighten the shutter lock screw.
CAUTION: All venting must be in accordance with
applicable federal and state laws, and local
ordinances. Consult local heating contractors.
Shutter
If the pressure washer is to be used in an enclosed area,
a flue must be installed to vent burner exhaust to the
outside atmosphere. Be sure the flue is the same size
as the burner exhaust vent on the pressure washer lid.
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 sufficient supply of oxygen
available for the amount of fuel being burned. If it is
necessary to install a unit 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 unit. Locate
the pressure washer in such a manner that the flue will
be as straight as possible and protrude through the roof
Shutter
CAUTION: If white smoke appears from the burner
exhaust vent during start-up or operation,
discontinue use and readjust air bands.
NOTE: If a flue is installed, have a professional
serviceman adjust your burner for a #1 or #2 smoke
spot on the Bacharach scale.

1.39min x 60sec/min = 83 seconds
WARNING: Wear eye, ear, hand, foot and skin
protection at all times while operating this pressure
washer.
IMPORTANT: The water must be turned on before
starting. Running the pump dry will cause damage
and void warranty.
Therefore, you must be able to fill a
5 gallon bucket in 83 seconds or faster.
; C.) The water supply garden hose must have an
inside diameter of at least 5/8”. If the hose is
more than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at
least 3/4”.
; D.) Never use a reservoir tank as a water source.

1. If detergents were used, draw clear water through the
detergent inlet line to purge detergent. Failure to do
so may clog the chemical injector.
2. If the burner was used, turn off the “Heat” switch and
pump cold water through the coil for 3 minutes.
Insufficient cool down period of high pressure hose
will cause excessive wear and eventual rupturing of
hose.
Caution: Be careful on painted or delicate surfaces,
the pressure may damage the surface if the nozzle is
too close.
11. Small parts should be washed in a basket so the
pressure does not push them away. Larger, light
weight parts should be clamped down.
12. The pressure washer is set to the maximum rated
pressure when it leaves the factory. There are two
easy ways to change your pressure.
3. Turn the pump switch OFF.
4. Turn OFF the water supply.
5. Squeeze the trigger to relieve the system pressure.
a. Rotate the grip slightly to allow some flow to pass
through the left lance. See step 3.

Coil Descaling
Coil Desooting
In hard water areas, scale build-up within the
heating coil will occur. Scale deposits will decrease
the water temperature rise and may eventually clog
the heating coil.
1. Mix scale remover in a 5 gallon bucket and
elevate the bucket so it is higher than the pump.
2. Attach the high pressure hose to the high
pressure water outlet on the machine, do not
hook up the spray gun.
Poor grades of fuel oil or inadequate combustion air
will cause heavy soot build-up on the outside
surface of the heating coil. These deposits will
insulate the coil. This will restrict the air flow
through the coil, further aggravating the soot build-
up.
Most coils will never require desooting. However,
to desoot a coil...
1. Wear protective clothing, goggles, and gloves.
2. Remove the fittings from the inlet and outlet of
the coil.
3. Place the other end of the high pressure hose in
the 5 gallon bucket.
4. Attach a short length of hose to the garden hose
inlet on the pump.
5. Prime the pump by filling the hose with water,
then place the end of the hose in the bucket.
3. Remove the lid from the heating chamber and
hoist the coil out. Be careful, the coil is very
heavy.
Important: Be careful not to damage the threads
on the coil inlet and outlet. If the threads get
damaged, it will be hard to reconnect and seal
the fittings on the coil inlet and outlet.

4. Clean the coil.
5. Reassemble the coil to the machine. Make sure
the white insulation remains in place.
6. Make sure all fittings are tight before using the
machine. Use thread sealant on all threads.
