LOCATION & INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
n Locate the machine on a solid and level surface so that engine and pump crankcase oil lubricate components properly.
Avoid areas where water can build up in the working area. Possible injury can occur caused by the surface becoming
slippery from water build up.
n Locate the machine in a well-ventilated area and away from flammable materials or fumes. Be sure ventilation warnings
are observed. Keep pressure washer at least 18" away from flamable materials.
n Locate the machine so the operator has easy access to the pressure washer and its controls. Locate the machine so that
it is protected from external damage.
n Confer with local gas company, and with proper municipal officials regarding any specific code or regulations governing
this installation. Installation must conform with all local codes prior to operation of machine.
n A draft diverter hood must be installed and vented to the outside.
n Check gas union located under burner ring prior to operation. Soap test gas pipe fittings for leaks once pressurized.
n To prevent damage and excessive hose wear, locate the pressure washer so that the hose does not cross traffic areas
The gas line should be a separate supply direct from the meter to the burner. New pipe is recommended to be
n
used and located so that a minimum amount of work will be required in future servicing. The piping should be
so installed as to be durable, substantial and gas tight. It should be clear and free from cutting burrs and defects
in structure of threading. Cast iron fittings or aluminum tubing should not be used for the main gas circuit. Joint
compounds (pipe dope) should be used sparingly on male threads only and be approved for all gases.
Venting: A vented draft diverter hood should be used with all indoor installations. Poor draft will cause the
n
machine to soot and not operate efficiently. Positioning of the machine should be in such a manner so that the
stack is as straight as possible and have suffecient height to eliminate downdraft.
