

 Periodically clean detergent inlet screen. This will ensure proper flow of water to the pump.

 High mineral content in water may adversely affect your machine and may require the use of a water softener

to ensure proper operation.

 NEVER run the pump dry under any circumtances. Doing so will cause exteme damage to the pump.

Hard water conditions may eventually cause clogging in the heat exchanger coil if left unattended.



Scale deposits will compromise the heating efficiency and produce an unsafe condition over time.

It may be necessary to descale coil.

Scale buildup from certain detergents may eventually clog up the heat exchanger coil causing an



unsafe condition. Use only recommended detergents for better cleaning efficiency.

Black carbon deposits that collect on the outside wall of the heat exchanger coil may be a result of



using a poor grade of fuel or improper burner operation. Heating fuel should be void of water and

sediments to eliminate the possibility of sooting and compromising the efficiency of the coil.

MOvInG, sTORAGE

Place machine in covered area when not in use to protect from elements.Protect machine from



freezing in cold temperatures by storing in a heated location.

WInTERIZInG

Non-float Tank Machines: To protect the machine from freezing temperatures while



storing or transporting, connect short length of garden hose (approximately 3 ft.) to

water inlet connection on machine. Remove the pressure nozzle from the wand and

insert the short garden hose end into a container of antifreeze. Place the wand into the

antifreeze container and start engine running machine until antifreeze appears from the

end of the wand. Turn engine "OFF" and replace pressure nozzle. Coil up hose and

move machine to storage area.

Float Tank Machines: Pour antifreeze into float tank and remove water nozzle from end



of wand and carefully insert into opening of float tank. Start machine and run until

antifreeze water mixture has circulated throughout the machine returning back to the

float tank.
