Getting Started

IMPORTANT: Proper initial installation of equip ment
will assure more satisfactory per for mance, longer
service life, and lower main te nance cost.
IMPORTANT: The use of a backfl ow preventer on
the water supply hose is recommended and may be
required by local code.
The pressure washer should be run on a level sur face
and in a protected area where it is not readily infl uenced
by out side forces such as strong winds, freezing
tem per a tures, rain, etc. The pressure wash er should
be located to assure easy access for fi lling of fl uids,
adjustments and main te nance. Normal pre cau tions
should be taken by the op er a tor to pre vent moisture
from reaching the pressure washer. It is rec om mend ed
that a par ti tion be made between the wash area and the
pressure washer to prevent di rect spray from the wand
from coming in contact with the pressure washer. Moisture
reaching the equip ment will reduce the pressure washer's
service life. All installations must com ply with the local
codes covering such installations.
Venting
CAUTION: All venting must be in accordance with ap-
plicable fed er al and state laws, and local or di nanc es.
Consult local heating con trac tors .
If the pressure washer is to be used in an enclosed area,
a fl ue must be installed to vent burner and en gine exhaust
to the outside atmosphere. Be sure the fl ue is the same
size as the burner exhaust vent on the pressure washer.
See Component Identifi cation for location. Poor draft
will cause the pressure wash er to soot and not operate
properly. When selecting the location for in stal la tion,
beware of poorly ventilated lo ca tions or areas where
exhaust fans may cause an in suf fi cient supply of oxygen.
Proper combustion can only be ob tained when there is a
suffi cient supply of oxygen avail able for the amount of fuel
being burned. If it is necessary to install the machine in a
poorly ven ti lat ed area, outside fresh air may have to be
piped to the burner and a fan installed to bring suffi cient
air into the machine. Locate the pressure washer so
that the fl ue will be as straight as pos si ble and protrude
through the roof at a proper height and location to provide
adequate draft. This oil fi red pressure wash er must have
a draft regulator installed in the fl ue (avail able from most
heating contractors). A draft reg u la tor will permit prop er
upward fl ow of exhaust fl ue gases.
In addition, the pressure washer should never be operated
in an enclosed area where high ambient temperatures
ex ist. High ambient temperatures (above 100
cause engine oil failure and will greatly reduce the
engine's performance.
