VI.) 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.
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
temperatures, rain, etc. Locate the pressure washer for

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.
VII.) Venting
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 place.
CAUTION: All venting must be in accordance with
applicable
state
and
ordinances. Consult local heating contractors.
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
as

and
at a proper height and location to provide adequate
draft.
This oil fired unit must have a draft controller
installed in the flue (Part #18007 call 1-800-270-0810 to
order). A draft controller will permit proper upward air
flow of exhaust flue gases.
