WARNING
DETERGENTS & GENERAL WASHING TECHNIQUES
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: 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.
Detergent Valve
Detergent Tube
STEP 2: With the engine run-
ning, 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.
IMPORTANT: You must
flush the detergent after each use by placing the
suction tube into a bucket of clean water, open
detergent valves then run the pressure washer
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
Landa SLT/SLX Diesel • 8.914-003.0 • Rev. 12/11
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.
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.
CAUTION - Never use:
• Bleach, chlorine products and other corrosive
chemicals
These chemicals will harm the machine and will
damage the surface being cleaned.
RINSING
It will take a few seconds for the detergent to clear.
Apply safety latch to spray gun and close detergent
valve. Select and install the desired high pressure
nozzle.

STEP 3: Turn engine key switch
off.
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 the 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 diesel from fuel tank, fuel line, fuel valve and
carburetor.
3. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil through the
10
spark plug hole, pull the starter grip several times
Landa SLT/SLX Diesel • 8.914-003.0 • Rev. 12/11
STORAGE
and replace the plug. Then pull the starter grip
slowly
until you feel increased pressure which indicates
the piston is on its compression stroke and leave
it in that position. This closes both the intake and
exhaust valves to prevent rusting of cylinder.
4. Cover the pressure washer and store in a clean, dry
place that is well ventilated away from open flame
or sparks. NOTE: The use of a fuel additive, such
as STA-BIL®, or an equivalent, will minimize the
formulation of fuel deposits during shortage. Such
additives may be added to the gasoline in the fuel
tank of the engine, or to the gasoline in a storage
container.
After Extended Storage
CAUTION: Prior to restarting, thaw out any
possible ice from pressure washer hoses,
spray gun or wand.
Engine Maintenance
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions
may develop which will cause an icing condition in the
carburetor. If this develops, the engine may run rough,
lose power and may stall. This temporary condition can
be overcome by deflecting some of the hot air from the
engine over the carburetor area. NOTE: Refer to the
engine manufacturer's manual for service and maintenance of the engine.

damage to pump and coils.
• Always neutralize and flush detergent from system
after use.
• If water is known to be high in mineral content, use
a water softener on your water system, or de-scale
as needed.
• Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to
be pumped through system.
•
Always use high grade quality cleaning products.
•
Never run pump dry for extended periods of time.
• Use clean diesel fuel. Clean or replace fuel filter
every 100 hours of operation. Avoid water contaminated fuel as it will damage the fuel pump.
• If machine is operated with smoky or eye burning
exhaust, coils soot up and prevent water from
reaching maximum operating temperature. (See
section on Burner Adjustments.)
• Never allow water to be sprayed on or near the
engine or burner assembly or any electrical component.
• Periodically delime coils per instructions.
• Check to see that engine is properly lubricated.
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 this 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 manufacturer's warranty.
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
Landa SLT/SLX Diesel • 8.914-003.0 • Rev. 12/11
is necessary. Store the machine in a heated room. If
this is not possible then mix a 50/50 solution of antifreeze and water in the float tank. Turn the engine on
to siphon the antifreeze 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. 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.
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 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 increased
by the extreme heat build up in the coil. The best prevention for liming conditions is to use high quality
cleaning chemicals. In areas where alkaline water is
an extreme problem, periodic use of Landa Deliming
Powder (Landa Part #9-028008) will remove lime and
other deposits before coil becomes plugged.
Deliming Coils
Periodic flushing of coils or optional float tank is recommended.
Step 1 Fill a container with 4 gallons of water, then
add 1 lb. of deliming powder. Mix thoroughly.
Pour mixture into float tank.
Step 2 Remove wand assembly from spray gun
and put spray gun into float tank. Secure
the trigger on the spray gun into the open
position.
Step 3 Turn engine on, allowing solution to be
pumped through coils back into the float
tank. The solution should be allowed to circulate 2-4 hours or until the color changes.
Step 4 After circulating solution, flush the entire sys-
tem with fresh water. Clean out float tank and
then reinstall wand assembly to spray gun.

Removal of Soot and Heating Coil
In the heating process, fuel residue in the form of
soot deposits may develop on 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 16).
Pressure Relief Valve
Each machine is equipped with a relief valve to relieve
pressure in the system when higher than normal operating pressures are encountered or if the unloader
valve should fail. Unusually high pressures come from
an object plugging the spray nozzle. If operating pressure is found to be normal and the relief valve continues
to leak, repair or replace valve. CAUTION: This valve
must be opened each year to check operation.
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. The ruptured disk needs to be inspected once
or twice a year for any obstructions.
Fuel
Use clean fuel oil/diesel that is not contaminated with
water and debris. Replace fuel filter and drain tank
every 100 hours of operation.
Use No. 1 or No. 2 heating oil (ASTM D306) only.
NEVER use gasoline in your burner fuel 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.
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.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
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 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-noburn situation, thereby eliminating high and low water
temperatures, and combustion smoke normally associated with machines incorporating a spray gun.
CAUTION: 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.

Burner Nozzle
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.
Air Adjustment
PRESSURE WASHER
The oil burner on this machine is preset for operation
at altitudes below 1000 feet. If operated at higher
altitudes, it may be necessary to adjust the air band
setting. Adjust air band for #1 or # 2 smoke spot on
the Bacharach scale. A one-time initial correction for
your location will pay off in economy, performance,
and extended service life. 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.
