machine should be located considering accessibil­ity for the replacing of components and the refilling of detergents, adjustments and maintenance. Nor­mal precautions should be taken by the operator of the machine to prevent excess moisture from reach­ing the power unit or electrical controls.
2. It is recommended that a partition be made between the wash area and the machine to prevent direct spray from the spray gun from coming in contact with the machine. Excess moisture reaching the power unit or electrical controls will reduce the machine’s 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 the air into the area.
4. 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 should be adequate).
WARNING: Avoid small areas or near exhaust fans.
Gas Codes:
Confer with local gas company and with proper munici­pal officials regarding any specific code or regulations governing the installation. The installation must conform to local codes.
Electrical:
The machine, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance to local codes. Check for proper power supply using a volt meter; check the serial plate for the correct requirements.

NOTE: If the flue pipe exceeds 10 ft. in length, or con­tains more than two elbows, use next size larger pipe and draft hood or the burner will not ignite. No movable flue pipe damper should be used on any installation.
Draft Diverter:
Install the draft diverter above the heating coil. The diverter enhances the draft through the burner by sever­ing the chimney effect created in sections of furnace pipe positioned below. It also helps prevent freezing of the coil due to wind chill factors.

Venting:
If the machine is used indoors, regulations or ventilation concerns may call for a chimney or furnace pipe.
When venting the machine, if the machine is to be in an enclosed area with a chimney on it, be sure the chimney is the same size as the stack on the machine. Poor draft will cause the machine to soot and not operate efficiently. When placing the machine for installation, position the stack to be as straight as possible and to protrude through the roof of the building at a proper location and at suffi­cient height to eliminate down-draft. The chimney of a gas fired machine shall be installed with a down-draft diverter located about 3 ft. above machine.
When the heating appliance is installed in a tightly closed room without ventilation openings to the outdoors or other rooms, provisions shall be made for supplying air for com­bustion through special openings, one near the floor line and the other near the ceiling, each to be sized on the basis of one square inch or more of free area for each 1,000 BTU input per hour (see Figure 4).
When a room is of unusually tight construction and has a kitchen and/or bathroom ventilating fan, which may be used for exhausting air outdoors -or has a vented fire­place — it is recommended that combustion air be sup­plied to the enclosed room through intakes extending to the outside of the building and terminating in down-turned fittings. These should be suitably arranged to prevent ob­struction from snow or rain, and include a protecting screen not smaller than 1/4 inch mesh.

Water Source:
The water source for the machine should be supplied by a 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 machine will run very rough and the burner will not fire.
Water Connection:
Connect the high pressure hose by pulling the coupler collar back and then inserting it onto the discharge nipple. Secure it by pushing the collar forward.
Attach the wand into the spray gun using teflon tape on the pipe threads to avoid leaks.
Inspection and Testing Gas Piping:
The building structure should not be weakened by in­stalling the gas piping. The piping should not be sup­ported by other piping, but should be firmly supported with gas hooks, straps, bands or hangers. Butt or lap welded pipe should not be run through or in an air duct or clothes chute.
Before turning gas under pressure into piping, all open­ings from which gas can escape should be closed. Im­mediately after turning on gas, the system should be checked for leaks. This can be done by watching the 1/2 cubic foot test dial for 5 minutes for any movement or by soaping each pipe connection and watching for bubbles. If a leak is found, make the necessary repairs and re­peat the above test.
Shark HNG Rev. 2/03a
Defective pipes or fittings should be replaced and not repaired. Never use a flame or fire in any form to locate gas leaks — use a soap solution.
After the piping and meter have been checked completely, purge the system of air. DO NOT bleed the air inside an enclosed room.
During pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG, the appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas sup­ply piping system or damage to the gas valve will occur.
Gas Pressure:
The ideal incoming gas pressure is 11 water column inches or w.c.i. (minimum 9 w.c.i, maximum 14 w.c.i. or 1/2 PSIG). The correct operating manifold pressure for natural gas is 3.5 w.c.i. The operating manifold pressure for propane gas is 10 w.c.i. By adjusting the gas valve pressure regulator between 3 and 4 w.c.i. a side range can be achieved for natural gas.
If the desired input rating cannot be obtained within the above manifold pressure adjusting range, then the next size larger or smaller burner orifice should be used.
