9.800-191.0 • Rev. 05/147PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUALOPERATING INSTRUCTIONSElectrical:This machine, when installed, must be electricallygrounded in accordance to local codes. Check forproper power supply using a volt meter.Placement:Do not locate near any combustible material. Keep allflammable material at least 20 feet away.Allow enough space for servicing the machine.Local code will require certain distances from floor andwalls. (Two feet away from walls should be adequate.)Water Source:The water source for the pressure washer should besupplied by a minimum 5/8" I.D. garden hose with acity water pressure of not less than 30 PSI. If the watersupply is inadequate, or if the garden hose is kinked,the attached pressure washer will run very rough andthe burner will not fire.Connection:Connect the wand, nozzle, hose and spray gun (whereapplicable). On pipe thread connections, use teflon tapeto avoid water leaks. (See Component Identification).Venting:Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner isnot recommended because restricted air flow causescarbon buildup, which affects the operation, and in-creases maintenance on the coil. If a stack must beused, refrain form using 90° bends. If the pipe can notgo straight up then use only 45° bends and go to thenext size pipe. The overall pipe length must not exceed6 feet in length.STARTING AND OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONSTo Start:1. STOP! Read operator's man-ual before operating.
