operation HOT WATER OPERATION WARNING THE WATER TEMPERATURE COULD BECOME VERY HOT DURING HOT WATER OPERATION. BE CAUTIOUS WHEN ADJUSTING PRESSURE OR CONTROLLING THE TRIGGER GUN/ LANCE ASSEMBLY. 1. Follow the steps 1-8 outlined for “START-UP/COLD WATER OPERATION”. 2. Move the switch to the “Burner” position. On initial start-up, water will begin turning hot in approximately 20 seconds and will reach maximum temperature in approximately 2-1/2 minutes, provided the trigger remains squeezed. The burner will stop firing when the trigger is released. At this point, the unit is operating as a hot water pressure washer. Be extremely cautious when adjusting the pressure and controlling the trigger gun/ lance assembly to avoid the possibility of burns. NOTICE While spraying, it is normal for the burner to fire intermittently. The high limit switch will cause combustion to cease when the temperature of the discharged water exceeds the temperature setting of the switch. Combustion will begin again when the water temperature drops below the minimum setting . STEAM OPERATION (IF APPLICABLE) 1. Follow steps 1-8 outlined for “STARTUP/COLD WATER OPERATION”. 2. Ensure the quick-connect at the end of the lance is cool enough to touch, then remove the high pressure nozzle and replace it with the steam nozzle. Remove the high pressure hose and replace it with the steam hose. 3. Turn unloader knob completely counterclockwise to the minimum setting. 4. Turn the switch to “Steam”. At this point, the unit is operating as a steam pressure washer. Be extremely cautious when adjusting the pressure and controlling the trigger gun/ lance assembly to avoid the possibility of burns.
operation NOTICE The burner will shut down if the switch is moved to “Steam” without first setting the unloader to minimum or operating in the high pressure mode.) CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS UNDER LOW PRESSURE NOTICE This feature is designed for use with mild detergents only. Since the cleaning solution travels through the heat exchanger coil, DO NOT use corrosives as they will cause extensive damage as well as pose a considerable safety hazard. 1. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. Never pump acids, alkaline, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. 2. Adjust the amount of detergent desired by locating the adjustment knob at the end of the clear vinyl hose. Turn the knob completely counterclockwise to set at maximum siphon rate. 3. Fully immerse the detergent strainer into the detergent solution. 4. With the trigger gun locked in the “OFF” position, securely quick- connect the detergent spray nozzle (#65 40° BLACK) into the end of the wand. 5. To apply solution; unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a few moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the nozzle. Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move up, using long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps avoid streaking. Allow to soak briefly. (Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimize the chances of the detergent drying, which may result in damaging painted surfaces.) Be certain to rinse a small section at a time. 6. To rinse; lock the trigger gun in the “OFF” position, securely quick- connect the desired high pressure nozzle into the end of the wand. Unlock the trigger gun and spray. It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent from the line. For best rinsing results, start at the top and work down. 7. Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection system after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or detergent residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.
operation SHUTDOWN WARNING TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL HIGH PRESSURE DISCHARGE, DO NOT LEAVE UNIT UNATTENDED UNTIL “OFF/PUMP/BURNER/ STEAM” SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. 1. Move the switch to the “Pump” position. 2. Squeeze the trigger and discharge the water for a period of three minutes to cool the heat exchanger and high pressure hose. (Insufficient cool down period of the high pressure hose will cause excessive wear and eventual rupturing of the hose.) 3. Move the switch to the “OFF” position. 4. Turn off the water supply and trigger the gun momentarily to relieve trapped pressure. 5. Disconnect and drain the high pressure hose, gun, and lance. Wipe the unit clean and store in a non-freezing environment.
maintenance Storage & Maintenance Instructions SPECIFIC MAINTENANCE PUMP: Change the pump oil after the first 50 hours of operation. After initial change, every 3 months or 250 hour intervals are recommended. If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may be required in greater frequency. Use pump oil SAE20 or 30 and fill only to the center of the oil sight glass. DO NOT overfill. QUICK COUPLERS: There are o-ring seals inside the couplers which will deteriorate. To replace, simply install a replacement o-ring to correct the leak. (Additional o-rings can be purchased from your dealer.) NOZZLE: Water flow through the spray nozzle will erode the orifice, making it larger, resulting in a pressure loss. Nozzles should be replaced whenever pressure is less than 85% of the maximum. The frequency of replacement will depend upon such variables as mineral content in the water and number of hours the nozzle is used. BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT: The air shutter has been factory preset for proper operation between sea level and 2000 feet elevation at standard conditions (60°F ambient water and air temperatures). To assure maximum combustion efficiency at colder temperatures and higher altitudes, it will be necessary to adjust the air supply to the combustion chamber. A smoke spot test is recommended during any air shutter adjustment. This will aid in maximizing the burner efficiency and avoid the inefficient operation and excessive sooting of the combustion chamber. 1. The machine must be running and the burner on. 2. Take a smoke spot test to determine if more or less air is required for proper combustion. a. If the test is greater than a #3 smoke, turn the shutter arm counterclockwise to increase the air flow into the combustion chamber. b. If the test is yellowish in color, turn the shutter arm clockwise to decrease the air flow into the combustion chamber. 3. Hold onto the air shutter adjusting arm and loosen the locking nut. Move the shutter in 1/8” increments and retighten the locking nut after each 1/8” movement.

parts list GENERAL THEORy OF OPERATION WATER FLOW: Connect a pressurized water source to the inlet GAR- DEN HOSE CONNECTION (1) and turn on the water supply. The water then travels into the TRIPLEX HIGH PRESSURE PUMP (2) which has an UNLOADER (3) that bypasses the water when the trigger gun is closed. To protect the pump from heated water during this bypass stage, a HEAT DUMP VALVE (4) will open at 140°f/60°c allowing the heated water to escape. The heat dump valve automatically resets when the water cools. The PRESSURE SWITCH (5) controls the fuel supply to the burner. From there, the water will flow into the HEAT EXCHANGER INLET (8) where it is heated when the burner is on. As the water exits the HEAT EX- CHANGER OUTLET (9), it enters a safety system which protects the op- erator from danger. The safety system contains a HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMIT SWITCH (16) which senses the water temperature and shuts off the fuel supply to the burner if it gets too hot. If the unloader fails to by- pass the water or the burner remains on when the trigger gun is closed, the SAFETY RELIEF (14) will relieve and allow water to exit safely. The heated water then flows through the HIGH PRESSURE HOSE (13) and to the TRIGGER GUN ASSEMBLY (12) which allows the operator to control the water spray. When the trigger gun is open, the water flows through the LANCE (11) and exits the NOZZLE (10). FUEL FLOW: The fuel pump draws fuel from the FUEL TANK (19) through a replaceable FUEL FILTER (18) and into the FUEL PUMP (17). Fuel exits the fuel pump, into a FUEL SOLENOID VALVE (6) which con- trols fuel flow to the FUEL NOZZLE (7) where it ignites and burns in the heat exchanger.
