INSTALLATION
PRESSURE WASHER
Place machine in a convenient location providing ample
support, draining and room for maintenance.
This machine is intended for outdoor use. Machine
must be stored indoors when not in use.
Location:
The location should protect the machine from damaging environmental conditions, such as wind, rain, and
freezing.
1. This machine should be run on a level surface
where it is not readily influenced by outside sources
such as strong winds, freezing temperatures, rain,
etc. It should be located to allow accessibility for
refilling of fuel, adjustments and maintenance. Normal precautions should be taken by the operator
of the machine to prevent moisture from reaching
the electrical controls.
2. It is recommended that a partition be made be-
tween the wash area and the machine to prevent
water spray from coming in contact with the machine. Excess moisture reaching any electric components or electrical controls will reduce machine
life and may cause electrical shorts.
3. During installation of the machine, beware of poorly
ventilated locations or areas where exhaust fans
may cause an insufficient supply of oxygen. Sufficient combustion can only be obtained when there
is a sufficient supply of oxygen available for the
amount of fuel being burned. If it is necessary to
install a machine in a poorly ventilated area, outside fresh air may have to be piped to the burner
and a fan installed to bring air into the machine.
Avoid small locations or areas near exhaust fans.
Electrical:
This machine, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance to local codes. Check for
proper power supply using a volt meter.
Placement:
Do not locate near any combustible material. Keep all
flammable material at least 20 feet away.
Allow enough space for servicing the machine.
Local code will require certain distances from floor
and walls. (Two feet away from walls should be adequate.)
Water Source:
The water source for the pressure washer should be
supplied by a minimum 5/8" I.D. garden hose with a
city water pressure of not less than 30 PSI. If the water
supply is inadequate, or if the garden hose is kinked,
the attached pressure washer will run very rough and
the burner will not fire.
Connection:
Connect the wand, nozzle, hose and spray gun (where
applicable). On pipe thread connections, use teflon
tape to avoid water leaks. (See Component Identification).
Venting:
Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner is
not recommended because restricted air flow causes
carbon build-up, which affects the operation, and increases maintenance on the coil. If a stack must be
used, refrain from using 90° bends. If the pipe can not
go straight up then use only 45° bends and go to the
next size pipe. The overall pipe length must not exceed
6 feet in length*.
*Note: After vent pipe installation test burner using a
smoke tester and adjust air setting to achieve a #3 or
below results.

DETERGENTS & GENERAL OPERATING TECHNIQUES
98000780-6
PRESSURE WASHER
WARNING: Some detergents
may be harmful if inhaled or ingested, causing severe nausea,
fainting or poisoning. The harmful elements may cause property damage or severe injury.
STEP 1: Connect detergent injector to discharge nipple on
machine, Connect high pressure
hose to injector with quick coupler(check to make sure
locking coupler sleeves are in proper position before
applying water pressure.
High
Pressure
Hose
STEP 2: Use detergent designed
specifically for pressure washers. Household detergents could
damage the pump. Prepare detergent solution as required by the
manufacturer. Fill a container with
pressure washer detergent. Place
the filter end of detergent suction
tube into the detergent container.
STEP 3: Apply safety latch to spray gun trigger. Turn
variable pressure control handle until discharge water
exits both tubes. Secure black detergent nozzle into
quick coupler if you have a single wand. NOTE: Detergent cannot be applied using Red, Yellow, Green
or White nozzles.
STEP 4: With the engine running,
pull trigger to operate machine.
Liquid detergent is drawn into the
machine and mixed with water. Apply detergent to work area. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface.
THERMAL PUMP
PROTECTION
If you run the engine on your pressure washer for 3-5
minutes without pressing the trigger on the spray gun,
circulating water in the pump can reach high temperatures. When the water reaches this temperature, the
pump protector engages and cools the pump by discharging the warm water onto the ground. This thermal
device prevents internal damage to the pump.
CLEANING TIPS
Pre-rinse cleaning surface with fresh water. Place detergent suction tube directly into cleaning solution and
apply to surface at low pressure (for best results, limit
your work area to sections approximately 6 feet square
and always apply detergent from bottom to top). Allow
detergent to remain on surface 1-3 minutes. Do not
allow detergent to dry on surface. If surface appears
to be drying, simply wet down surface with fresh water.
Detergent
Injector
HDS 500-510 • 9.800-078.0 • Rev. 4/10
If needed, use brush to remove stubborn dirt. Rinse at
high pressure from top to bottom in an even sweeping
motion keeping the spray nozzle approximately 1 foot
from cleaning surface. Use overlapping strokes as you
clean and rinse any surface. For best surface cleaning
action spray at a slight angle.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and
distance for maximum cleaning results.
• If painted surfaces are peeling or chipping, use
extreme caution as pressure washer may remove the loose paint from the surface.
• Keep the spray nozzle a safe distance from the
surface you plan to clean. High pressure wash
a small area, then check the surface for damage. If no damage is found, continue to pressure
washing.
These chemicals will harm the machine and will damage the surface being cleaned.
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun. Remove black soap
nozzle from the quick coupler. Select and install the
desired high pressure nozzle. NOTE: You can also stop
detergent from flowing by simply removing detergent
siphon tube from bottle.

3. Follow winterizing instructions to prevent freeze
PRESSURE WASHER
damage to pump and coils.
4. Always neutralize and flush detergent from system
after use.
5. If water is known to be high in mineral content, use
a water softener on your water system, or de-scale
as needed.
6. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be
pumped through the system.
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
7. Always use high grade quality cleaning products.
8. Never run attached pressure washer pump dry for
extended periods of time.
9. If machine is operated with smoky or eye burning
exhaust, coils will soot up, preventing water from
reaching maximum operating temperature. (See
section on Maintenance and Service).
1 0. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near the
motor or burner assembly or any electrical component.
1 1. Delime coils as per instructions.
It is advisable, periodically, to visually inspect the
burner. Check air inlet to make sure it is not clogged
or blocked. Wipe off any oil spills and keep equipment
clean and dry.
The areas around the pressure washer should be kept
clean and free of combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
The flow of ventilating air to the burner must not be
blocked or obstructed in any manner.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Unloader Valves:
Unloader valves trap pressure in the line when a shutoff spray gun is closed. Machines with unloader valves
are preset and tested at the factory before shipping.
Tampering with the factory settings may cause personal injury and/or property damage and will void the
manufacturer's warranty.
Winterizing Procedure:
Damage due to freezing is not covered by warranty.

bucket and turn the pump on to siphon the anti-freeze
through the machine. If compressed air is available, an
air fitting can be screwed into the inlet connector and
by injecting compressed air, all water will be blown out
of the system.
If you have an optional float tank, pour the antifreeze
into this tank and run machine until antifreeze exits
discharge nipple.
High Limit Hot Water Thermostat:
For safety, each machine is equipped with a high limit
control switch. In the event the temperature of the water
should exceed its operating temperature, the high limit
control will turn the burner off until the water cools.
Pumps:
Use only SAE 30 weight non-detergent oil. Change oil
after first 50 hours of use. Thereafter, change oil every
three months or at 500 hour intervals. Oil level should
be checked by using the dipstick found on the top of
the pump or by the red dot visible through the oil gauge
window. Oil should be maintained at that level.
Cleaning of Coils:
In alkaline water areas, lime deposits can accumulate
rapidly inside the coil pipes. This growth is increased
by the extreme heat build up in the coil. The best
prevention for liming conditions is to use high quality
cleaning detergents. In areas where alkaline water is an
extreme problem, periodic use of deliming powder will
remove lime and other deposits before coil becomes
plugged.
Deliming Coils With A Pressure Washer:
Periodic flushing of coils is recommended.
Step 1 Fill a 5 gallon bucket with 4 gallons of water,
then add 1 lb. of deliming powder. Mix thoroughly.
Step 2 Remove the high pressure nozzle from the
pressure wand and put the wand into the
bucket. Secure the trigger on the spray gun
into the open position.
Step 3 Attach a short section (3-5 ft.) of garden hose
to the attached pressure washer to siphon solution from the elevated bucket. Start up pressure washer, allowing solution to be pumped
through pressure washer and into HPB coils
and back into the bucket. Solution should be
allowed to circulate 2-4 hours.

PRESSURE WASHER
Step 4 After circulating solution flush entire system
with fresh water.
Removal of Soot In Heating Coil:
In the heating process, fuel residue in the form of soot
deposits may develop between the heating coil pipe
and block air flow which will affect burner combustion.
When soot has been detected on visual observation,
the soot on the coil must be washed off after coil has
been removed using the following steps:
1. Remove the tank head assembly by unscrewing
the three tek screws and lifting the tank head off.
2. Remove the two pipe nipples and associated fit-
tings.
3. Lift the coil out of the outer wrap.
CAUTION: The coil weighs about 80 lbs. Use proper
lifting techniques.
4. Clean, repair and replace the coil by reversing the
above steps.
Coil Reinstallation
Reinstall by reversing the above steps 4 through 1.
Rupture Disk
If pressure from pump or thermal expansion should
exceed safe limits, the rupture disk will burst, allowing
high pressure to be discharged through hose to ground.
When the disk ruptures, it will need to be replaced.
Use clean fuel oil that is not contaminated with water
and debris. Replace fuel filter and drain tank every
100 hours of operation. Use Kerosene No. 1 or No.
2 Heating Fuel (ASTM D306) or diesel only. NEVER
use gasoline in your burner tank. Gasoline is more
combustible than fuel oil and could result in a serious
explosion. NEVER use crankcase or waste oil in your
burner. Fuel unit malfunction could result from contamination.
Ignition Circuit:
Periodically inspect wires, spring contact and electrodes for condition, security and proper spacing. For transformer test (CAUTION 10,000 VOLTS) use
defect free insulated screwdriver and keep fingers off
blade! Lay blade across one contact: OK if arc will span
1/2" between end of blade and other contact.
Keep the tip free of surface deposits by wiping it with
a clean, solvent-saturated cloth, being careful not to
plug or enlarge the nozzle. For maximum efficiency,
replace the nozzle each season.
Fuel Control System:
This machine utilizes a fuel solenoid valve located
on the fuel pump to control the flow of fuel to the
combustion chamber. This solenoid is activated by a
pressure switch located on the unloader valve. When
an operator releases the trigger on the spray gun, the
pressure drops, allowing the pressure switch to activate
the fuel solenoid. The solenoid then closes, shutting off
the supply of fuel to the combustion chamber. Controlling the flow of fuel in this way gives an instantaneous
burn or no burn situation, thereby eliminating high and
low water temperatures, and combustion smoke normally associated with machines incorporating a spray
gun. Periodic inspection is recommended to insure
that the fuel solenoid valve functions properly. This
can be done by operating the machine and checking
to see that when the trigger on the spray gun is in the
off position, the burner is not firing.

MAINTENANCE
Fuel Pressure Adjustment:
To adjust fuel pressure, turn the adjusting screw with a
standard screwdriver (located on the fuel pump) clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease. Do not
exceed 200 PSI.
Air Adjustment
The oil burner on this machine is preset for operation at
PRESSURE WASHER
altitudes below 1000 ft. If operated at higher altitudes, it
may be necessary to adjust the air band setting. Adjust
air band for a #1 or #2 smoke spot on the Bacharach
scale. If a smoky or eye-burning exhaust is being emitted from the stack, two things should be checked.
First, check the fuel to be certain that kerosene or No.
1 home heating fuel is being used.
Next, check the air adjustment on the burner. An oily,
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
black, smoky fire indicates a lack of air and the air
band should be moved to allow the air to flow through
the burner. Sharp, eye-burning white fumes indicate
too much air flowing through the combustion chamber.
The air band should be moved to allow less air to flow
through the burner.
To adjust: start machine and turn burner ON. Loosen
the two locking screws found in the air shutter openings
(refer to illustrations) and close air shutter until black
smoke appears from burner exhaust vent. Note air band
position. Next, slowly open the air shutter until white
smoke just starts to appear. Turn air shutter halfway
back to the black smoke position previously noted.
Tighten locking screws.
If the desired position cannot be obtained using only
the air shutter, lock the air shutter in as close a position
as can be obtained, then repeat the above procedure
on the air band setting.
