Operation Instructions - Hotsy 1075BE CAL Operator's Manual

Operations
A 1/2" NPT 3-way ball valve will need to be installed in
the water inlet line. Hotsy recommends the use of Watts
Regulator Valve #1/2 B6780 M1 (Hotsy P/N 921363) for
this application. With this valve in place this machine
will be capable of using both a pressurized or gravity
feed water supply without additional modifications. For
proper operation it is important that the valve be fully
open for its intended supply. This will prevent air from
being drawn into the system from the non active
source. Also the pressure supply must still be
connected to the float tank. The connection of a pres-
surized supply directly to the 3-way valve will prevent
detergent from being drawn into the system.

Operation Instructions

Before Starting
WARNING: Check hoses, fittings, wand, trigger gun
and fuel connections daily for signs of wear, cracks
and looseness, replace as required.
AVERTISSEMENT: Vérifier les boyaux, les raccords, le
pistolet à gâchette et les connexions de carburant
pour la présence de traces d'usure, de fissures et de
desserrement; remplacer au besoin.
1. Read all manuals provided with this pressure
washer. Become familiar with location and function
of all operating and safety controls.
2. Connect the water supply hose to the float tank water
inlet (standard garden hose connector). The water
faucet and supply hose must be capable of providing
6.0 GPM.
3. Fill the burner fuel tank. Use kerosene, #1 grade
home heating oil, #1 or #2 diesel fuel. DO NOT
USE GASOLINE.
4. Fill the gasoline tank. Use lead free gasoline
minimum 86 octane. DO NOT use gasoline
containing more than 10% ethanol, 15% MTBE, or
5% methanol.
5. Check pump and engine oil levels.
6. If detergents are to be used, only use detergent for
pressure washers. Follow instructions on detergent
container.
IMPORTANT: Before installing the pressure nozzle
on initial start-up, turn on the water supply and
allow water to run from the end of the wand until
clear to prevent the pressure nozzle from clogging.

IMPORTANT: If the pressure washer has not been
used for an extended period of time, remove the
pressure nozzle from the end of the wand and turn
on the water supply. Allow water to run from the
end of the wand until clear.
7. Install the proper pressure nozzle for your cleaning
needs on end of wand, as shown.
Manual Trigger Lock
IMPORTANT: The trigger gun provided with this
pressure washer is equipped with a manual trigger
lock to prevent accidental operation of the trigger
gun. The manual trigger lock should be used
whenever the trigger gun is not in use.
To Start
DANGER: DO NOT point wand or spray gun at
yourself or at any person. Bodily injury may result
from water under high pressure.
DANGER: NE PAS pointer la lance ou le pistolet
pulvérisateur dans votre direction ou la direction
d'une autre personne. L'eau sous haute pression peut
causer des lésions corporelles.
IMPORTANT: The water must be turned on before
starting. Running the pump dry will cause damage
and void warranty.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow the machine to run with
trigger gun closed for more than 3 minutes at any
time or damage to pump may occur.
1. Turn water ON.
2. Hold wand firmly with trigger gun in the closed
position.
3. Turn fuel shut-off valve counterclockwise (CCW) to
open. Move choke lever to full choke position.
Choke may not be needed on warm engine.
4. Move throttle control to half throttle.
5. Turn key on engine clockwise (CW) hold until
engine starts. DO NOT crank engine for longer
than 15 seconds at any one time or starter damage
may occur. If the engine does not start, it may have
air in the gas lines and be unable to pull gasoline
from the fuel tank. This symptom may appear if the
