supply adequate voltage to the burner, resulting in
smoke coming from the heat exchanger during
operation.
WARNING: Check that there are no leaks in the
vicinity of the pump before starting engine.
Once the engine is started, begin cleaning. If the engine
doesn't start on the first try, pressure may build up in the
pump.
Relieve the pump pressure by squeezing the
spray gun trigger. This will make starting easier.
WARNING: Do not inhale the exhaust from the
engine. Do not point the lance at anyone even if the
engine has stopped because there could be a
release of water under retained pressure if the spray
gun trigger is actuated.
X.) For Hot Water
1. If HOT water is desired, make sure there is fuel in the
fuel tank, turn the heat switch ON, and adjust the
thermostat to the desired temperature. The burner will
fire when the trigger is squeezed. You may need to
initially adjust your burner for peak performance. See
the "Oil Burner" section under INSTALLATION. When
the trigger is released or the temperature setting is
reached, the burner will automatically turn off.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the machine in hot mode
without any fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel pump will be
damaged if it is run dry.
XI.) Cleaning
WARNING: Wear eye, ear, hand, foot and skin
protection at all times while operating this pressure
washer.
DANGER: Do not point the spray wand at yourself or
at any person. Bodily injury may result from water
under high pressure.
CAUTION: Be careful on painted or delicate
surfaces. The pressure may damage the surface if
the nozzle is too close.
IMPORTANT: Your spray gun is equipped with a
built-in trigger safety latch to guard against
