°F before turning machine
INSTALLATION
Place machine in a convenient location providing ample
support, draining and room for maintenance.
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 between
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 Figures 1 and 2.)
Venting
Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner is not
recommended because restricted air flow causes carbon
buildup, which affects the operation, and increases
maintenance on the coil. If a stack must be used, refrain
from using 90
then use only 45
The overall pipe length must not exceed 6 feet in length.

° bends and go to the next size pipe.
OPERATION
To Start
1. STOP! Read Operator’s Manual before operating.
Failure to read operation and warning instructions may
result in personal injury or property damage.
2. Connect water supply hose and turn on water.
3. Check fuel tank and pump oil levels.
4. Connect high pressure hose to discharge nipple by
sliding quick coupler collar back. (If detergent is to be
applied, insert a detergent injector as shown in Component Identification).

5. Insert quick coupler onto discharge nipple and secure
by pushing quick coupler collar forward.
6. Securely attach the desired high pressure nozzle into
wand coupler as described in steps 4 and 5.
7. Connect the power cord into the proper electrical outlet, then push in the GFCI reset button. (Refer to serial
plate for voltage requirements.)
8. Grip spray gun handle securely and pull trigger. Then
turn variable pressure control handle counterclockwise.
9. Turn switch to pump position. When a steady stream of
water flows from the spray gun and wand, the machine
is ready for cold water cleaning by turning the variable
pressure control handle clockwise to raise the pressure.
10. For hot water washing, turn the switch to the burner
position. (The burner will light automatically when the
trigger on the spray gun is pulled.)
To Stop
1. If using an optional detergent injector, place the detergent line in a bucket of water allowing detergent to be
flushed from system.
2. Turn burner switch OFF and continue spraying water,
allowing the water to cool.
3. After water has cooled to less than 100
sure washer OFF.
4. Turn garden hose water OFF. Open the spray gun to
relieve remaining pressure.
5. Protect from freezing.
°F, turn pres-
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 system.
7. Always use high grade quality cleaning detergents.
8. Never run pressure washer pump without water for
extended periods of time.
9. If machine is operated with smoky or eye burning
exhaust, coils will soot up, not letting water reach maximum operating temperature. (See Maintenance andService section).
10. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near the motor
or burner assembly or any electrical component.
11. 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
AUTO START/STOP OPTION
Timer Operation
Once the pump switch is turned ON, simply triggering the
spray gun is all it takes to start the machine. Once the trigger
is released the timer will let the machine bypass water for
15 seconds. It also starts an internal 5 to 60 minute lockout
timer. This feature is totally adjustable by the operator by
adjusting the knob at the top of the timer. We recommend
setting the timer for 15 minutes. To reset the lockout feature,
operator must trigger the spray for 10 full seconds.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Use clean fuel - kerosene, No. 1 home heating fuel or
diesel fuel. Clean or replace fuel filter every 100 hours
of operation. Avoid water contaminated fuel as it will
seize up the fuel pump. De-soot coils monthly. Use an
additive if diesel is being used.
2. Check to see that the pressure washer water pump is
properly lubricated.
3. Follow winterizing instructions to prevent freeze damage to pump and coils.
Unloader Valves
Unloader valves relieve pressure in the pump head when a
shut-off spray gun is closed. Machines with unloader valves
are preset and tested at the factory before shipping.
Occasional adjustment of the unloader may be necessary
to maintain correct pressure. Adjustments to the unloader
should only be made by an authorized, trained service
person.
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 antifreeze/water or windshield
washer fluid with water in a 5 gallon bucket. Place a short
section of garden hose into the bucket and connect it to the
machine. Elevate the bucket and turn the pump on to siphon
the antifreeze 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.
Shark 808/1010 • Rev. 7/02

Page 8
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.
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.
Pumps
Use only SAE 30W 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 buildup 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 De-liming Powder will remove
lime and other deposits before coil becomes plugged.
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 fittings.
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.
Fuel
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 #1 or #2 Heating Fuel (ASTM
D306) or diesel fuel 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 machine
malfunction could result from contamination.
Ignition Circuit
Periodically inspect wires, spring contact and electrodes
for condition, security and proper spacing. Fortransformer 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.

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. Unusually high pressures
come from an object plugging the spray nozzle. This
problem can easily be remedied by removing the
obstruction. If operating pressure of machine is found to
be normal and the relief valve continues to leak replace
the valve.
CAUTION: This relief valve must be discharged at least
once per year by turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise.

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.
Fuel Control System
The pressure washer 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.
To adjust: start machine and turn burner ON. Loosen
two locking screws found in the air shutter openings
(refer to Figure 4) 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.

AIR SHUTTER
Fuel Pressure Adjustment
Install a pressure gauge into the fuel pump port labeled
gauge. To adjust fuel pressure, turn the adjusting screw
(located on the fuel pump) clockwise to increase,
counterclockwise to decrease. Do not exceed 200 PSI.
Air Adjustment
Machines are preset and performance tested at the
factory. A one time 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. An oily, 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 (refer
to Figure 4 for location).
