INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started:

IMPORTANT: Proper installation will assure satisfactory performance, longer service life and lower maintenance costs.

Location:

The location should protect machine from damaging environmental conditions, such as wind, rain and freezing.

1. The 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. The 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 machine.
2. It is recommended that a partition be made between the wash area and 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 (U.S., ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 National Fuel Gas Code; Canada, CAN 1-B149 Installation Code).

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.

Gas Piping:

This machine shall be rigidly connected to the gas piping outlet and equipped with external manual shut-off valves adjacent to such machine. All gas piping shall be approved and installed in accordance with the Uniform Mechanical Code.

Install a gas union in the gas line adjacent to and upstream from the control manifold and downstream from the manual main shut-off valve. A 1/8" NPT plugged tapping accessible for test gauge connection shall be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection for the purpose of determining the gas supply

LP-gas is gas compressed into liquid form for easy transportation and storage. It is also known as propane or bottle gas. (Propane tanks are not supplied with this equipment.)

LP-gas is flammable, is always contained under pressure and the liquid can freeze skin. Therefore, in the interest of safety, it is important to understand the basic facts about LP-gas and LP-gas containers.

Federal DOT (Department of Transportation) regulations require periodic inspections and re-qualifications of cylinders. DO NOT USE damaged or rusted containers.

DO NOT store LP-gas containers indoors or in enclosed areas. Do not expose LP-gas container to heat. Always store with service valve closed and plugged as required.

CAUTION: Use LP-gas containers in proper position.

Most LP-gas pressure washer heaters are designed to operate on LP-gas vapor only. Therefore, all LP-gas containers designed for vapor service must be transported, installed and used in the proper position. Do not transport, install or use a vertical cylinder in a horizontal or upside down position. Proper care must be taken to position a horizontal container in the correct position for vapor withdrawal. Liquid LP-gas could enter the system designed for vapor only, possibly creating a hazardous condition.

Always use a POL plug installed on a POL valve or a dust cap on an ACME/Type 1 valve when transporting or storing disconnected containers (full or empty). Check for leaks after connecting. Apply approved leak detector solution to connection, turn off all burners and pilots and open service valve. Leaks will be detected by the growth of bubbles. If bubbles grow, tighten or repair the connection as needed. Repeat leak test until problem is corrected.

Check all tank and the line connections periodically to be sure they are tight. When testing for leaks, use approved leak detector solution — not matches.

Improved Regulation: The second stage regulator receives a relatively uniform pressure from the first stage regulator. This helps the second stage regulator to maintain appliance pressure at a nearly constant 11" W.C.

Filling the LP-Gas Container

Only qualified persons should fill your LP-gas containers.

CAUTION: Overfilling is hazardous!

DO NOT allow your LP-gas container to be overfilled. Stop filling when liquid appears at the fixed level gauge. Bleed off excess propane in a safe area. Most LP-gas containers are equipped with a fixed liquid level gauge which contacts the liquid level at 80% of container capacity, allowing 20% for expansion. LP-gas containers not equipped with a fixed liquid level gauge can only be filled by weight.

In cold climates, in order to keep vaporization of LP-gas at the highest level, keep the fuel levels above 50%.

Combustion and Ventilation Air

Properly sized vents are vital for the safe and efficient operation of a pressure washer installed in a confined space. When combustion and ventilation air are supplied from inside the building, each opening must have an area of one square inch for every 1,000 BTUH input. When combustion air is supplied from the outside, each opening must have an area of one square inch for every 2,000 BTUH for horizontal ducts and one square inch for every 4,000 BTUH for vertical ducts (refer to NFPA 54). See Figure 3.

The purpose of venting a gas pressure washer is to completely remove all products of combustion and to vent gasses to the outside air without condensation in the vent or spillage at the draft hood (except in cases of downdraft or poor stack conditions). To assure correct venting, use a strong, gas-tight insulated pipe with a cross section equal to that of the flue collar or draft hood outlet and of sufficient vertical height.

During vent installation, avoid sharp turns, long horizontal runs and improper pitches. Maintain proper support of vent connectors and joints, observe clearances from all combustibles and top the vent outlet with an approved cap.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Type "B", due to its temperature rating, can only be used with natural draft pressure washers. A "B" vent is designed for exhaust temperatures not to exceed 470^ F ( 245^ C).

All venting installations must conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to "National Fuel Gas Code" NFPA 54 and be constructed of materials approved by the Uniform Building Code.

Vents penetrating ceilings or walls should be double-wall approved appliance vents and should be one to two inches from combustibles. Vents passing through enclosed spaces and vents exposed to the weather should also be the double-wall type. Sometimes vents have to be built of such great length that they come apart at their joints under their own weight. These should be screwed together at the joints with sheet metal screws, usually three per joint. If the inspector indicates that the vent is too close to combustibles, it may be necessary to chisel away some of the combustible or route the vent pipe around the combustible. The cross-sectional area of any flue shall not be less that the cross-sectional area of the flue vent connection outlet of machine.

Figure 3: Ventilation

Illustration showing air openings necessary to supply air for combustion when installed in an enclosed room.

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.

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 pressure washer and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from gas supply piping system or damage to the gas valve will occur.

On/Off Switch Manifold Pressure Adjustment Screw Under Cap Outlet View 98033250-7

Gas Pressure:

The ideal incoming gas pressure is 11 w.c.i (water column inches). Minimum is 9 w.c.i., maximum is 14 w.c.i. or 1/2 PSIG. The correct operating manifold pressure for natural gas is 2.8 w.c.i. The operating manifold pressure for propane gas is 7.5 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The gas pressure coming out of the regulator and going to the burner ring has been factory set for elevations of 0 to 2000 ft. Altitudes greater than 2000 ft will require adjustments to the gas manifold pressures. Consult your local service dealer/distributor for high altitude adjustments. In Canada, certification for installation at altitudes over 4500 feet above sea level is the jurisdiction of local authorities. You should not readjust the burner ring gas pressure. If you replace your gas valve, you will need to adjust the new valve. Refer to your machine's specification plate for the correct pressure setting. Follow the installation and adjustment instructions provided with your replacement valve.

NOTE: Air for combustion and ventilation along with exhaust flue sizing must conform to methods outlined in current American Standard (ANSI-Z223.1) National Fuel Gas Code or National Standard of Canada CSA-149.1 and CSA-149.2 "Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances".

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Starting

1. Read all manuals provided with this pressure washer. Become familiar with location and function of all operating and safety controls.

WARNING: Check hoses, fittings, wand, trigger gun and fuel connections daily for signs of wear, cracks and looseness, and replace as required.

1. Connect water supply hose to the standard garden hose connector. The water faucet and supply hose must be capable of providing 6.0 GPM.
2. This machine was factory built for natural gas/propane. See instructions under Fuel Supply.
3. Check pump oil level.
4. If detergents are to be used, only use detergents intended for pressure washers. Follow instructions on the detergent container.

IMPORTANT: Before installing pressure nozzle on initial start-up, turn on the water supply, start the pump by pressing the pump ON switch, and hold the wand trigger open until water appears at the end of the wand. Allow water to run from the end of the wand until clear to prevent the nozzle from clogging.

Safety Trigger Lock Pressure Nozzle 98033250-8

IMPORTANT: The trigger gun provided with this pressure washer is equipped with a manual trigger lock to prevent accidental operation of the trigger gun, refer to figure above. The safety trigger lock should be used whenever the trigger gun is not in use.

IMPORTANT: On initial start-up or if maintenance has been performed on the burner assembly, it will be necessary to bleed the air from the gas line before the pilot will light.

1. If you are running the machine for the first time, or have performed maintenance on the burner assembly, there will be air in the gas line. To bleed the air from the gas line run the pressure washer with pump and burner switches on and thermostat on highest setting. Squeeze the trigger of the trigger gun for 15 seconds. If the burner has not ignited, release the trigger for 5 seconds, then squeeze for 15 seconds. If the burner has not ignited after 10 tries, see the Troubleshooting Guide in this manual.

CAUTION: Have a qualified gas serviceman install and service your equipment.

DANGER: Never expose a spark or flame where there may be unburned gas present.

DANGER: Some gases are heavier than air and will spill out on the floor in the 2 to 3 minutes required for the safety pilot valve to close off gas supply. Therefore, always provide adequate space and ventilation around these units.

To Start

WARNING: Risk of injection or severe injury - Keep clear of nozzle - DO NOT direct discharge stream at persons - This machine is to be used only by qualified operators.

IMPORTANT: If ignition or flame failure is experienced, discontinue use of pressure washer at once. Turn off burner and shut off fuel supply. Have cause of failure corrected by an authorized service technician before use of pressure washer is continued.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

To Clean

WARNING: Risk of injection or severe injury - Keep clear of nozzle - DO NOT direct discharge stream at persons - This machine is to be used only by qualified operators.

AVERTISSEMENT: RISQUE D'INJECTION ET DE BLESSURES GRAVES. SE TENIR À L'ÉCART DU JET. NE PAS DIRIGER LE JET DE SORTIE VERS D'AUTRES PERSONNES. CONFIER L'UTILISATION DE CE MATÉRIEL À UN OPÉRATEUR QUALIFIÉ.

1. Insert detergent inlet line into container of mixed detergent. Open detergent ON/OFF valve. The detergent will be pulled automatically into the system. Allow detergent to reach end of wand before proceeding to step 3.
2. Select pressure nozzle with spray pattern that matches your cleaning needs. Engage manual trigger lock and install selected nozzle.

3. Wash from the bottom to the top, using side to side motions. This washes away heavy dirt and allows the detergent to soak as you work toward the top.

4. Do not wash at a 90^ angle to the work (straight at it). This will allow water to splash back at you and reduces your cleaning power. Wash at a 30^ to 60^ angle to the work. This will allow the water to splash away from you and the water will wash the dirt away faster and easier.

5. Use the width of the spray pattern to wash in a wide path. Overlap spray paths for complete coverage. Wash from side to side, using slow, steady motions.
6. The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from work, closer for tough areas. Be careful on painted or delicate surfaces, the pressure may damage surface if nozzle is too close.
7. Small parts should be washed in a basket and larger, lightweight parts should be clamped down so the pressure does not push them away.
8. Close the detergent ON/OFF valve to permit rinse. Always rinse with cold water after using detergents. Rinse from the top to the bottom to prevent detergent from dripping onto a rinsed area. For the best results, contact your Hotsy dealer to help you select the best detergent for your application.

SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

To Stop

1. If detergents were used, draw clear water through the detergent line to purge detergent. Failure to do so may clog detergent injector valve.

2. If burner was used, turn OFF burner switch and allow pump to run cold water through coil for several minutes.

3. Turn pump switch OFF.

4. Turn water supply OFF.
5. Squeeze trigger gun open to relieve system pressure.
6. Depress gas control knob slightly and turn to OFF position.
7. Turn off main shut-off valve on gas supply.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER: Do not store flammable liquids (gasoline, diesel fuel, petroleum, solvents, etc.) near pressure washer, or in non-ventilated areas.

IMPORTANT: Machine must be stored indoors.

1. Protect from freezing by storing in a heated area, or by flushing the system with antifreeze (use an automotive engine antifreeze or windshield washer solvent to antifreeze). To flush the system fill the float tank with antifreeze and remove pressure nozzle from wand. Start the machine and allow it to run until antifreeze runs from the end of the wand. Place wand into float tank and circulate the solution

through system for several minutes. Open and close the trigger gun several times to circulate antifreeze through the unloader valve system. Also draw antifreeze through the detergent inlet line to antifreeze the detergent system. For added protection after antifreezing, disconnect the pressure hose from machine and remove the coil drain plug (refer to Component Identification illustration for location). After coil has drained, replace pressure hose and coil drain plug. If the pressure washer is not to be used for an extended length of time, it is recommended that the system be flushed with antifreeze for rust protection.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Unauthorized machine modification or use of non-approved replacement parts may cause personal injury and/or property damage and will void the manufacturer warranty.

Pump

Use Hotsy Pump Oil (8.914-527.0) for pump crankcase. Crankcase must be filled to the full mark on the dipstick or to center of sight glass window found on the rear of the pump. During the break-in-period, make sure the oil is changed after the first 25 hours of operation. After that, replace oil every 3 months or 300 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

Dipstick Oil Fill Sight Glass (on Rear of Pump) 98033250-9

Proper Pump Care:

• Do not pump acids.
  • Do not allow pump to run dry.
• Winterize if storing in freezing temperatures; refer to Storage for details.
• Use a water softener on the water system if known to be high in mineral content.
• Use only high quality detergents and follow manufacturer's mix recommendations.

• Flush the system with clear water immediately after using detergent solutions.

• Clean filter screen on detergent inlet line periodically.

• Flush the pressure washer system with antifreeze if storing for an extended period of time; refer to Storage for details.

Pump Motor

On a yearly basis, oil pump motor per instructions on motor nameplate.

NOTE: Some motors may be equipped with permanently lubricated bearings and will not require additional lubrication.

Gas Burner

It is recommended that the gas burner be serviced yearly or as needed. Contact your local service center.

Relief Valve

WARNING: The relief valve on this pressure washer has been factory set and sealed and is a field nonadjustable part. Tampering with the factory setting may cause personal injury and/or property damage, and will void the manufacturer warranty.

Unloader Valve

WARNING: The unloader valve on this pressure washer has been factory set and sealed and is a field nonadjustable part. Tampering with the factory setting may cause personal injury and/or property damage, and will void the manufacturer warranty.

Heating Coil

Coil Descaling: In hard water areas, scale buildup within the heating coil will occur. Scale deposits will decrease the water temperature rise and may eventually clog the heating coil. Contact your local service center when descaling is needed.

Coil Desooting: Poor grades of fuel oil or inadequate combustion air will cause heavy soot buildup on the outside surface of the heating coil. These deposits will insulate the coil. This will restrict the air flow through the coil, further aggravating the soot buildup. Contact your local service center when desooting is needed.
