GETTING STARTED: If your dealer has not
prepared the machine for startup, you may need to
connect the hose to the pressure outlet on the
washer and connect the other end of the hose that
swivels to the trigger gun inlet and tighten. Mobile
Wash Skids are engine powered and shipped from
the factory with the fuel tanks empty and without
the battery. Fill the battery to the fill line with
electrolyte (available through your dealer or a local
auto parts store). Connect the battery cables, and
follow the operation instructions for starting.
Pressure Steamers are electric powered and will
require an appropriate electric outlet or disconnect
box and an electric plug that is rated for your
machine’s voltage and amperage and matches to
your electrical socket. Smaller machines are
equipped with a ground fault interrupter on the
electrical cord and you will need to press the reset
button after it is plugged in. (See Operating
Instruction section and enclosed page on
Installation Guidelines).

ground fault circuit interrupter built into the power
cord plug. (7.5hp single phase excluded; order
GFCI separately). If replacement of the plug or cord
is needed, use only identical replacement parts.
3. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
Cord Connected, Grounded Products:
This product must be grounded. If it should
malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product, do not cut off the
ground pin – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not
use any type of adaptor with this product.
4. To comply with the national electric code, this
pressure washer should only be connected to a
receptacle that is protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).
5. EXTENSION CORDS: Use of extension cords
is not recommended.
6. NEVER operate an electrically powered washer
after it has tripped a breaker or a ground fault
device without have the reason for the trip
determined by an authorized service engineer or
competent electrician.

cords and plugs when they are wet, when your
hands are wet, or when standing in water. Do not
spray high-pressure water on to the machine.

repairs or adjustments.
SAFETY WARNINGS 4
9. Transformer on burner is 20,000 volts.
Warning: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD CAN CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Disconnect battery cable before servicing burner or
engine on 12-volt systems.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS:
1. DO NOT use improper fuels or solvents in this
equipment, and only fill with the correct fluids when
the unit is in an OFF condition, main power is
disconnected, and engine and burner are cool.
2. Fill the diesel burner fuel tank with #2 diesel
fuel, kerosene, or approved alternate fuel. NEVER
use gasoline. Do not confuse gasoline and diesel
fuel tanks.
3. NEVER operate this equipment in the presence
of flammable vapors, dust, gases, or other
potentially combustible materials.
4. AVOID contact with the exterior of the coil/heat
exchanger assembly, mufflers, and exhaust port or
stack to prevent burns.
5. DO NOT store fuel or other flammable materials
near the burner or any other open flame.
6. Diesel fired or gasoline power units are
designed for outdoor use and installation only.
7. Burner on/off switch must be placed in the OFF
position when the pressure washer is not being
used. Do not depend on engine run switch to turn
the burner off – this may cause a safety hazard.
8. Warning: Burner (water heater) should start
only when water is sprayed. Stop the
system/engine immediately if burner continues to
fire when trigger gun is off.
VENTILATION PRECAUTIONS:
1. Do not run engine or burner in an enclosed
area. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless, deadly poison.
2. Observe all State, Local, and National codes
providing for indoor use or installation of this unit.
3. Provide adequate ventilation to prevent engine
overheating and inefficient burner combustion (min.
2’ air space). Do not restrict normal engine airflow.
4. For engine driven units mounted in a van or box
truck type vehicles, provide an external engine
exhaust line that is larger in diameter than the
factory exhaust pipe and vent the exhaust to the
outside of the vehicle, but not below the vehicle’s
interior floor height. Also, insure adequate fresh air
circulation within the van for engine cooling
purposes to prevent heat build-up and for engine
fresh air intake. Clearance of at least 12” is
recommended on all sides of the unit. Provide a
burner exhaust vent, at least 8” diameter, to the
outside through the van roof, or though the side
panel that is at least 10” in diameter, and position
this vent to avoid water, dirt and debris collection.
No flammable liquids, aerosols, or flammable
materials should be stored within 24” of the unit and
should not be stored under the unit. During
refueling, ALL ignition sources and switches should
be OFF and there should be a person with the
proper fire extinguisher and training within the
vicinity of the unit in case of fire. Unit should not be
left running unattended or out of site.
SPRAY INJECTION PRECAUTION:
1. Fluid from high-pressure spray or leaks can
penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If any
fluid appears to penetrate the skin, get emergency
medical help at once. DO NOT treat as a simple
cut. Tell the physician exactly what fluid was
injected. For treatment instructions, have the
physician call your local poison center. Without
proper treatment, complications can develop.
2. WARNING – Risk of injection or severe injury to
persons – Keep clear of nozzle. DO NOT direct
discharge stream at people. This machine is to be
used by trained operators. Keep operating area
clear of all people. Use only 48” long wands on
machines producing over 3000 PSI. Also, only use
straight wands or wands with a bend of 10° or less.
CAUTION: Hot discharge fluid – DO NOT touch or
direct discharge stream at people. Gun kicks back
– Hold with both hands. Stay alert – Watch what
you are doing.

operating the equipment. Additional protective
items such as a rubber suit, gloves, and respirators
are advisable, particularly when using cleaning
detergents with a corrosive content.
