burner fuel filter
Drain any water which has accumulated in fuel filter
and clean or replace filter element as needed.
heating coil
coil Descaling: In hard water areas, scale buildup within
the heating coil will occur. Scale deposits will decrease
the water temperature rise and may eventually clog the
heating coil. Contact your local service center when
descaling is needed.
coil Desooting: Poor grades of fuel oil or inadequate
combustion air will cause heavy soot buildup on the
outside surface of the heating coil. These deposits will
insulate the coil. This will restrict the air flow through the
coil, further aggravating the soot buildup. Contact your
local service center when desooting is needed.
hour Meter
This hour meter will monitor the total hours of operation of
the pressure washer to signal when routine maintenance
is required.
