and fuel connections daily for signs of wear, cracks
and looseness, and replace as needed.

IMPORTANT: On initial start-up or if maintenance
has been performed on the burner assembly, it will
be necessary to bleed the air from the gas line
before the pilot will light.
7. If you are running the machine for the first time, or
have performed maintenance on the burner
assembly, there will be air in the gas line. To bleed
the air from the gas line run the pressure washer
with pump and burner switches on and thermostat
on highest setting. Squeeze the trigger of the
trigger gun for 15 seconds. If the burner has not
ignited, release the trigger for 5 seconds, then
squeeze for 15 seconds. If the burner has not
ignited after 10 tries, see the Troubleshooting
Guide in this manual.
CAUTION: Have a qualified gas service technician
modify, install and service your equipment.
ATTENTION: La modification, l'installation et
l'entretien de l'équipement doivent être confiés à
un technicien d'entretien qualifié dans le domaine
du gaz.
DANGER: Never expose a spark or flame where
there may be unburned gas present.
DANGER: Ne jamais exposer les endroits où il
pourrait y avoir présence de gaz non brûlé à une
étincelle ou une flamme.
DANGER: Some gases are heavier than air and will
spill out on the floor in the 2 to 3 minutes required
for the safety pilot valve to close off gas supply.
Therefore, always provide adequate space and
ventilation around these units.
DANGER: Certains gaz sont plus lourds que l'air et
s'accumuleront au sol le temps requis pour la
soupape de sûreté de la veilleuse pour couper
l'alimentation en gaz.
