DETERGENTS & GENERAL CLEANING TECHNIQUES
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.
PRESSURE WASHER
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
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
STEP 2: Open detergent valve to desired mixture
ratio.
filter end of detergent suction tube
into the detergent container.
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 (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 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.
Detergent
Valve
STEP 3: 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.
IMPORTANT: You must flush
the detergent line after each use by placing the
suction tube into a bucket of clean water, then run the
pressure washer for 1-2 minutes.
Recommendations:
• Before cleaning any surface, an inconspicuous
area should be cleaned to test spray pattern and
distance for maximum cleaning results.
• Ifpaintedsurfacesarepeelingorchipping,use
extreme caution as pressure washer may remove
the loose paint from the surface.
• Keepthespraynozzleasafedistancefromthe
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
• Liquids containing solvents (i.e., paint thinner,
gasoline, oils
• Tri-sodiumphosphateproducts
• Ammoniaproducts
• Acid-basedproducts
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. Open detergent valve.
Select and install the desired high pressure nozzle.
NOTE: You can also stop detergent from flowing by
simply removing detergent siphon tube from bottle.

MAINTENANCE
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
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.
PRESSURE WASHER
4. If water is known to have high mineral content, use
a water softener in 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.
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
8. Use clean No. 2 diesel fuel. Clean or replace fuel
filter every 250 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. Adjust air bands and fuel
pressure for proper emission.
10. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near
the engine or burner assembly or any electrical
component.
11. Periodically delime coils as per instructions.
12. Check to see that engine is properly lubricated. Use
SAE 10W40 grade oil.
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 flow of combustion and ventilating air to the burner
must not be blocked or obstructed in any manner.
The area around the washer should be kept clean
and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
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. Turn 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 it will 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 10/40 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.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Unloader Valves:
Unloader valves are preset and tested at the factory
before shipping. Occasional adjustment of the unloader
may be necessary to maintain correct pressure.
Adjusting Unloader Valves:
Tampering with the factory setting may cause
personal injury and/or property damage and will void
the manufacturer's warranty.

PRESSURE WASHER
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 trig ger 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
system with fresh water. Clean out float tank
and then reinstall wand assembly to spray gun.
Removal of Soot from 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 section).
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 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 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 the combustion smoke normally
associated 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 Pressure Adjustment:
To control water temperature, adjust fuel pressure
by turning the regulating pressure adjusting screw
clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease.
NOTE: When changing fuel pump, a bypass plug must
be installed in return port or fuel pump will not prime.
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.

Beckett Burner Air Adjustment:
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 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,
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 fumes indicate too much
air flowing through the combustion chamber. The air
band should be readjusted to allow less air to flow
through the burner.
