in running this pressure washer:
a. become familiar with how to stop the engine;
b. never start the engine in a closed space or
where there is insufficient ventilation. Combustion creates carbon monoxide, an odorless and
highly poisonous gas. Lengthy stays in places
where the engine freely exhausts this gas can
lead to unconsciousness and death;
c. do not operate machine in places containing
flammable materials, in explosive atmospheres,
or where there is dust that can easily catch fire
unless specific, adequate and clearly indicated
precautions have been taken and have been
certified for the machine.
d. to prevent fire hazards, always keep the
machine at least one meter from buildings or
other machinery;
e. fuel is flammable. The tank must only be filled
when the engine is off. Thoroughly dry any
spilled fuel and move the fuel container and any
rags soaked in fuel or oil. Make sure that the
ground or floor on which the machine is
standing has not soaked up any fuel or oil;
f.fully tighten the tank cap each time after refuel-
ing. Do not fill the tank to the top, but leave an
adequate space for the fuel to expand;
g. fuel vapor is highly toxic. Only refuel outdoors
or in a well ventilated place;

Detergent Injector
WARNING
Detergents & General Cleaning T echniques
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: 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
connect the downstream detergent injector onto the
quick coupler nipple located at the discharge fitting
between the 50ft high pressure hose. Place the filter
end of detergent suction tube into the detergent
container. Turn variable pressure control wand handle
counterclockwise to lower pressure allowing detergent
to flow through the brass soap nozzle inserted at end of
wand at low pressure. Detergent is not injected into
pump and heating coil using a downstream injector it
will be mixed with water changing the concentration
and dilution levels. (Downstream detergent injector
does not operate at high pressure)
The option float tank with detergent valve:
filter end of detergent suction tube into the detergent
container. Open detergent valve located on the front
control panel by turning counterclockwise. Detergent
will be applied under high pressure with this option.
Detergent is drawn into machine and mixed with water
changing the concentration and dilution ratio.
Securely
Place the
STEP 3: With the engine
running, pull trigger to operate
machine. Do not allow detergent
to dry on surface.To rinse
detergent turn variable pressure
control wand handle clockwise
for high pressure when using a
detergent injector. Turn control
panel detergent valve clockwise until closed if using the
float tank option.
IMPORTANT: You must flush the detergent
injection system after each use by placing the
suction tube into a bucket of clean water, then run
the pressure washer in low pressure for 1-2
minutes.
Thermal Pump Protection
If you run 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 bo ttom 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. 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.

Operation
Storage
CAUTION: Always store your pressure washer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below
32°F (0°C). The pump in this machine is susceptible
to permanent damage if frozen. FREEZE DAMAGE
IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
1. Stop the pressure washer, squeeze spray gun
trigger to release pressure.
2. Detach water supply hose and high pressure hose.
3. Turn on the machine for a few seconds, until
remaining water exits. Turn engine off immediately.
4. Drain the fuel and oil from the engine.
5. Do not allow high pressure hose to become kinked.
6. Store the machine and accessories in a room
which does not reach freezing temperatures.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the above directions
will result in damage to your pressure washer.
When pressure washer is not being operated or is
being stored for more than one month, follow these
instructions:
1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.
2. Drain fuel from fuel tank, fuel line, and fuel valve.
Maintenance & Service
1. Check to see that water pump is properly
lubricated.
2. Follow winterizing instructions to prevent freeze
damage to pump and coils.
3. Always neutralize and flush detergent from system
after use.
4. If water is known to be high in mineral content, use
a water softener on your water system, or de-scale
as needed.
5. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be
pumped through system.
6. Always use high grade quality cleaning products.
7. Never run pump dry for extended periods of time.
8. Use clean fuel-kerosene, No. 1 fuel oil, or diesel.
Clean or replace fuel filter every 100 hours of operation. Avoid water contaminated fuel as it will
damage the fuel pump.
9. If machine is operated with smoky or eye burning
exhaust, coils will soot up, not letting water reach
maximum operating temperature.
10. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near the
engine or burner assembly or any electrical
component.
3. Cover pressure washer and store in a clean, dry
place that is well ventilated away from open flame
or sparks.
After Extended Storage
CAUTION: Prior to restarting, thaw out
any possible ice from pressure washer
hoses, spray gun or wand.
11. Periodically descale coils as per instructions.
12. Check to see that engine is properly lubricated.
It is advisable, periodically, to visually inspect the
burner . Check air inlet to make su re it is not clogged or
blocked. Wipe off any oil spills and keep equipment
clean and dry.
The flow of combustion and ventilating air to the burner
must not be blocked or obstructed in any manner.
The area around the Landa washer should be kept
clean and free of combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Unloader Valves:
Unloader valves are preset and tested at the factory
before shipping. Tampering with the factory setting may
cause personal injury and/or property damage, and will
void the manufacturers warranty.

Landa PDHW Series Operator’s Manual 8.919-980.0 - B
Maintenance
Winterizing Procedure:
Damage due to freezing is not covered by warranty.
Adhere to the following cold weather procedures
whenever the washer must be stored or operated
outdoors under freezing conditions.
During winter months, when temperatures drop below
32°F, protecting your machine against freezing is
necessary. Store the machine in a heated room. If this
is not possible then mix a 50/50 solution of anti-freeze
and water in the float tank. T urn the engine on to siphon
the anti-freeze mixture through the machine. If
compressed air is available, an air fitting can be
screwed into the float tank by removing the float tank
strainer and fitting. Then inject the compressed air.
Water will be blown out of the machine when the trigger
on the spray gun is opened.
High Limit Hot Water Thermostat:
For safety, each machine is equipped with a temperature sensitive high limit control switch. In the event that
the water should exceed its operating temperature, the
high limit control will turn the burner off until the water
cools then automatically reset itself. The thermostat
sensor is located on the discharge side of the heating
coil. The thermostat control dial is located on the
control panel.
Removal of Soot and 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 following
the coil removal steps (See Coil Removal page).
Rupture Disk:
If pressure from pump or thermal expansion should
exceed safe limits, the rupture disk will burst allowing
high pressure to be discharged thr ough hose to ground.
When the disk ruptures it will need to be replaced.
Torque new rupture disk to 35 ft. lbs.
Fuel:
CAUTION: Use Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel only.
Diesel fuel must be clean, fresh, meet fuel specifications and be sourced from a known and reputable
supplier. Cle an, fresh and properly specifie d diesel fuel
will provide assurances of maximum engine performance and maximum fuel injection system longevity.
The use of out-of-spec, dirty or questionable quality
diesel fuel will result in engine performance and start
ability problems as well as reductions in engine and fuel
injection system life.
Pumps:
Use only SAE 10W-40 weight non-foaming oil. Change
oil after first 50 hours of use. Thereafter, change oil
every year or at 500 hour intervals. Oil level should be
checked through use of dipstick found on top of pump,
or 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 heating coil. This growth is increa sed
by the extreme heat build up in the coil. The best
preventative for liming conditions is to use high quality
cleaning detergents. In areas where alkaline water is
an extreme problem, periodic use of Landa Descaling
Powder (Part #8.914-296.0) will remove lime and other
deposits before coil becomes plugged.
Periodic descaling of the heating coil is recommended so please consult your local Landa Dealer
for instructions.
Use clean fuel oil that is not contaminated with water
and debris. Replace fuel filter and drain tank every 100
hours of operation.
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 . The solenoid, which is normally closed, is
activated by a flow switch when water flows through it.
When the operator releases the trigger on the spray
gun, the flow of water through the flow switch stops,
turning off the electrical current to the fu el 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 the combustion smoke norma lly associa te d
with machines incorporating a spray gun. Periodic
inspection, to insure that the fuel solenoid valve
functions properly, is recommended. This can be done
by operating the machine and checking to see that the
burner is not firing when the spray gun is in the OFF
position.

Fuel Quality / Storage
No. 1 and No. 2 diesel fuel degrades with time. No. 2
diesel fuel has a storage life of approximately one (1)
year. No. 1 diesel fuel has a maximum storage life of
two (2) years. Further, storage of diesel fuel in contaminated storage tanks can lead to excessive impurities
within the stored fuel. As such, aged or contaminated
diesel fuel should not be used. Aside from the specifications listed above, fuel measured to have total insolubles > 1 mg/100mg, organic material > 1 mg/100 m l or
rust/mineral matter > 2mg/ml should not be consumed
in diesel engines.

Fuel Pressure Adjustment:
To control water temperature, adjust fuel pressure by
turning the regulating pressure adjusting screw
clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease.
Do not exceed 200 psi.
NOTE: When changing fuel pump, a bypass plug
must be installed in return port or fuel pump will not
prime.

LANDA Sure Fire Oil Burner
Burner Air Adjustment: The oil burner on this
machine is preset for operation at altitudes below 500
feet. If operated at higher altitudes, it may be necessary
to adjust the air band for a #1 or #2 smoke spot on the
Bacharach scale.
To adjust, start machine and turn burner ON. Loosen
two locking screws found on the air band and close air
band until black smoke appears from burner exha u st
vent. Note air band position. Next, slowly open the air
band until white smoke just starts to appear. Turn air
band halfway back to the previously noted position.
Tighten locking screws.

Coil Removal:
1. Removal of coil because of freeze breakage, or to
clean soot from it can be done quickly and easily.
2. Disconnect hose from pump to inlet side of the coil.
3. Carefully disconnect the thermostat sensor making
sure you do not crimp the capillary tube.
4. Remove burner assembly from combustion
chamber.
5. Remove the 3-3/8" bolts from each side of coil and
tank assembly (these bolts are used to fasten tank
to chassis).
6. Remove fittings connected to the 1/2" pipe nipples
from inlet and discharge sides of coil.
7. Remove top tank wrap, bend back insulation tabs
and fold back blanket.
8. Remove bolts that hold down coil to bottom wrap.
