OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Perform pre-start maintenance inspection on all applicable systems prior to operating the machine. This is essential for the safe, effective and efficient operation. You will get optimum performance from your system ONLY if these instructions and inspections are followed. Any indication that the pressure washing system was not operated and maintained according to these instructions may cancel the manufacturers’ warranty.
   Location – Gasoline powered machines must be outdoors in a well ventilated area.
   Controls – Make sure all controls turned to the off position.
   Pump – Oil level – Level the pressure washer. Be sure oil level in the pump is correct on dip stick. If the level is low, add the correct oil to the proper level. USE ONLY SAE 30 W NON-DETERGENT OIL OR HYDRAULIC 68. DO NOT OVER FILL.
   Gas Engine – Gasoline level – The engine is a 4 cycle and uses regular octane, unleaded fuel. DO NOT USE MIXED FUEL. Refer to the engine operation manual included with your pressure-washing unit.
   Gas Engine – Oil level – The engine is a 4 cycle and uses 10W30 detergent oil. Refer to Glossary or engine manual.
   **Oil Fired Burner – Oil Tank Level – #2 Furnace oil is recommended fuel for Oil Fired Hot Water Pressure Washers. It burns cleaner and the burner requires less maintenance.
   Diesel fuel may be used as an alternative. Do not overfill burner tank.
   Visually inspect all electrical components to assure they are in good condition, showing no signs of exposure, breakage or splicing.
   Visually inspect all hoses, nozzles and guns to assure they are in good condition. If replacements are necessary they must be rated to withstand the machines operating pressure and temperatures.

2. Attach the high-pressure hose to the outlet coupling on the coil heat exchange system.
   Ensure that the quick disconnect connections are tightly locked together. Apply a sharp pull on the hose to confirm.
   Attach the wand nozzle specific to the task requirements (i.e. chemical or pressure wash).
   ** Hot Water Pressure Washers Only
   [Quick Coupling Operation – Pull back sleeve end and insert male end into fitting, release sleeve and confirm connection.]

3. Attach the water source to the water inlet located on the pump. The water source must be attached with a good quality standard garden type hose, 1/2” minimum is required. Connect the male fitting into the female pump inlet swivel fitting, make sure that the inlet screen/filter is intact and fitted correctly. Turn on the water source. WATER MUST BE IN SUFFICIENT SUPPLY AND PRESSURE MUST BE BETWEEN 20 – 60 PSI TO ENSURE PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION. Specific attention should be given if using a well water supply. Ensure water is flowing from end nozzle with the trigger gun pulled. Deplete system of all air.

4. Start gas engine / electric motor and switch on burner
   • Gasoline engine – refer to the instructions in the Engine Manual MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE EXHAUST IS NOT FACING ANY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. Adjust the burner thermostat control to ON at the desired temperature.
   • Electric Motor – Turn burner switch to PUMP, adjust the burner thermostat to desired temperature, turn switch to BURNER.

5. **Burner operation
   Be sure water is flowing through water heater coil before turning on burner switch. Turn thermostat to desired temperature. Burner will ignite and remain in operation as long as there is sufficient water flow to satisfy the pressure switch and temperature control.
   To shut off burner, turn temperature switch to “Off”. Allow the engine/motor to continue to run.
   Pull the trigger gun to allow water flow to run through the coil for approximately 2 minutes prior to completely shutting off the system. This process will allow coil to cool down.
   IF YOU EXPERIENCE IGNITION FAILURE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART BURNER! EXCESS FUEL AND VAPORS MAY HAVE ACCUMULATED AND THE CHAMBER MAY BE HOT. THE UNIT MUST COOL DOWN BEFORE RESTART CAN BE ATTEMPTED.
   Hot Water Pressure Washers Only
   Warning: Condensation on Coil
   When cold water is being pumped through the heater coil and the burner is firing, condensation may form at times on the coil and drip down into the burner compartment. This can be particularly noticeable on cold, humid days giving the false appearance of a leaking coil.
   Eectrically Operated Burners – Some models generate 12V from the gasoline engine and provide the necessary power for the burner. Others utilize a 120v connection which must be grounded. IF YOU REQUIRE UPGRADES OR MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR EXISTING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN ORDER TO OPERATE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER, THEY MUST BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED  ELECTRICIAN AND BE COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES IN YOUR AREA OF OPERATION. The power supply must be adequate for your specific unit. Make sure to verify the data plate for your machine’s specific requirements (i.e. voltage, amperage, etc).
   WARNING:**
   All electrically powered units must be provided with suitable overload and overcurrent protection in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code part 1. Confirm the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is in good working order.

6. Pressure adjustment – The pressure regulator (unloader) is located on the pump (see diagram). It controls the pressure being generated by the pressure washer. This regulator may be adjusted to the desired pressure by turning the adjustment knob.
   Turning the adjustment knob clockwise will increase the pressure. NEVER OPERATE SYSTEM AT A HIGHER P S I THAN THE MAXIMUM RATING. This machine has been adjusted to operate at a specific maximum pressure as per the machine specifications. Pressure may be reduced for lighter use by turning the Pressure Regulator/Unloader counter clockwise.

7. You are now ready to start the cleaning operation – Pull trigger on the pressure wand assembly to start cleaning. To stop the pressurized water, release the trigger. DO NOT LEAVE UNIT RUNNING WHEN NOT IN USE.

8. **To stop Burner operation – Turn the burner control switch to off (or PUMP for electric machines) and run pump for two minutes with the trigger gun pulled to allow the coil to cool down. After the cooling period is complete, turn off main power to engine/motor. Squeeze and release the trigger for the second time in order to relieve the pump system of pressure.

9. Prior to storage – Inspect the pressure washer for any damage or required maintenance. If your machine needs to be exposed to cold weather, please refer to the winterization instructions found in this manual. If possible, do not allow unit to remain outside in the elements.

10. Warning – If unit is left running while not in use, pump damage may occur. Do not leave unit running while not in use!

CHEMICAL APPLICATION

DOWNSTREAM CHEMICAL INJECTION – STANDARD
NOTE: Do not remove back flow preventer as chemical may flow back into the potable water source. Ensure the black nozzle is properly fitted at the end of the wand. The chemical injector will not function if this nozzle is not correctly in place.

1. Chemical preparation – Select the detergent/chemical that best suits your cleaning task. Prepare the dilution according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The volume of chemical being used may be adjusted at the valve located on the chemical injector.
2. Insert the intake hose, located on the chemical injector at the pump, into the chemical being used.
3. Turn the adjustment knob on the wand or lance to the open position OR when single lance is used, black nozzle will need to be used on wand.
4. To apply chemical, engage the trigger on the pressure wand assembly. Turn the chemical injector’s nipple to adjust flow.
5. Chemical can now be applied through the pressure wand assembly. It will take 5 – 15 seconds for the chemical to travel to the spray nozzle. Volume of chemical being used or water being supplied may be adjusted at the Chemical Injector.
6. For best results apply chemical from bottom to top, allow the chemical proper penetration time prior to rinsing. Do not allow the chemical to dry. Rinse from the top to the bottom.
7. Optional high pressure chemical injection systems available. Please contact Easy Kleen.

WINTER PUMP/COIL PROTECTION

The following procedure MUST be used when the pressure washing unit is stored at temperatures below freezing.

1. All water must be drained or blown (via compressed air) from system. Connect a short piece of male fitted ½” garden type hose on to the female inlet on the pump.
2. Place the open end of the hose into a wide mouthed container of full strength, winter rated, vehicle windshield washing fluid or Anti-Freeze, RATED FOR MINIMUM -40°C.
3. Connect the pressure wand assembly.
4. Start the engine and engage the trigger on the pressure gun. Operate the system until the fluid runs the same color as the windshield washing fluid. Your machine is now prepared for storage.
5. Blow out, disconnect fluid supply & pump out excess or cap end.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

**BURNER MAINTENANCE
Repair of the burner is to be done by authorized and trained burner professionals only.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CARE
If the water heater is likely to be exposed to freezing weather then it should be winterized with anti-freeze. Circulation of an anti-freeze solution through the coil by means of the pumping module is the most fail-safe method and should be used. Alternate methods may not completely protect the components. Damage from freezing is not a warrantable item.
Water Condition Use a softener on your water system if local water is known to be high in mineral content. The advantages of soft water are very beneficial: prevents scale buildup in heater coil, cleans better with considerably less detergent, prevents streaking on painted surfaces and glass when rinsing.
**Descaling Heater Coil If heater coils develop excessive scale buildup it should be replaced as excessive scale in heater coil will reduce efficiency of the unit and affect recovery capacity.Descaling via use of acid may be hazardous and is thus not recommended.
