The 25° (GREEN) steam nozzle is used for 250°F Wet Steam operation.
This nozzle is sized for operation with the unloader and steam valve (where applicable) to provide high pressure wet steam. Replacement of this nozzle with an improperly sized nozzle may cause operational problems with the machine.
HVS-3005/3006/3504/3505/3506:

1. Install 25° (GREEN) steam nozzle into dual lance assembly.
2. Follow “Hot Water Operation” start-up procedures.
3. Turn steam valve completely counterclockwise to achieve maximum outlet temperature (250°F).

HVS-4004:

1. Install 25° (GREEN) steam nozzle into dual lance assembly.
2. Follow “Hot Water Operation” start-up procedures.
   Note: Upon initial start-up, water will begin turning hot in approximately 20 seconds and will reach maximum temperature within 2-1/2 minutes providing that the trigger gun remains open. The burner will not fire when the trigger is released.

ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT:
Regulates the maximum discharge temperature. Turn the dial to the desired maximum discharge temperature. This may cause the burner to fire intermittently.
BALL VALVE: (AUXILIARY TANK)

1. Connect hose from auxiliary tank to open port on the 3-way ball valve.
2. Use the selector lever on the ball valve to allow water to flow from the auxiliary tank to the pump.
3. The water level in the auxiliary tank must always be higher than the pump inlet. This will ensure gravity feed of water to the pump. Failure to keep the water level above the pump inlet will result in the pump running dry and damage to the wet end of the pump.

DUAL GUN: (AVAILABLE ON 6 GPM UNITS ONLY)
Dual Gun Option also requires the Trapping Unloader Option. This option splits flow between two discharges. Outlet Pressure at both guns will be the same as the unit’s rated pressure.
HIGH PRESSURE DETERGENT: (CLEANING WITH DETERGENTS)
NOTE: This feature is designed for use with mild detergents only. Since the cleaning solution travels through various parts of the pressure washer, do not use corrosives as they will cause extensive damage as well as pose a considerable safety hazard.

1. Refer to “Risk of Bodily Injury / Detergents”. Be certain to wear protective safety attire as stated on pg. 12.

2. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. (Never pump acids, alkalines, abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. Due to the unknown and often corrosive characteristics of many detergents commonly used in the pressure washer cleaning industry, it is recommended to use only mild detergents with this unit.)

3. Fully immerse the strainer end of the clear vinyl detergent hose into the detergent solution.

4. To apply solution; unlock the trigger gun and squeeze the trigger. In a few moments a detergent/water mixture will exit the nozzle. Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and move up, using long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps avoid streaking.
   Allow to soak briefly. Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimize the chances of the detergent drying, which may result in damaging surfaces. Be certain to apply cleaning solution to a small section at a time.

5. To rinse; lock the trigger gun in the “OFF” position. Turn the detergent metering valve to the “OFF” position. Unlock the trigger gun and spray. It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent from the line. For best rinsing results, start at the top and work down.

6. Siphon a gallon of water through the detergent injection system after each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or detergent residue causing mechanical problems during the next use.

These components should be inspected on a daily basis for cracks, leaks, and abnormal wear. If cracking, leaks or abnormal wear has occurred, the components should be replaced immediately.
ENGINE: The engine instruction manual accompanying your unit lists the specific procedures for maintenance on the engine. Following the engine manufacturer’s recommendations will extend engine life.
PUMP: Change the pump oil after the first 50 hours of operation. After initial change, the manufacturer recommends changing the oil every three months or at 250 hour intervals. If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may be required in greater frequency. Use SAE20 or 30 non-detergent pump oil and fill only to the center of the oil sight glass. DO NOT overfill.
NOZZLE: Water flow through the spray nozzle will erode the orifice, making it larger, resulting in a pressure loss. Nozzles should be replaced whenever pressure is less than 85% of the maximum. The frequency of replacement will depend upon such variables as mineral content in the water and number of hours the nozzle is used.
MAINTENANCE-EVERY 3 MONTHS:
CHANGE WATER PUMP OIL: Ensure unit is off. Change the pump oil after the first 50 hours of operation. After initial change, every 3 months or 500 hour intervals are recommended. If oil appears dirty or milky, changes may be required in greater frequency. Use SAE20 or 30 non-detergent pump oil and fill only to the center of the oil sight glass. DO NOT overfill.
REPLACE HIGH PRESSURE NOZZLE: Water flow through the spray nozzle will erode the orifice, making it larger, resulting in a pressure loss. Nozzles should be replaced whenever pressure is less than 85% of the maximum. The frequency of replacement will depend upon such variables as mineral content in the water and number of hours the nozzle is used.
BELT INSPECTION: Ensure unit is off and remove the beltguards. Inspect the v-belt for wear and tightness. If the v-belt needs to be replaced or tightened, follow the procedures listed below:
Replacement:

1. Loosen the four pump mounting bolts (A).
2. Loosen the two alignment nuts approximately one inch on the alignment bolts (B1 & B2).
3. Slide the pump toward the engine to loosen belts.
4. Remove and replace belt.

Tighten: (If v-belt was not replaced, you will need to loosen the nuts on the alignment bolts B1 and B2 before proceeding.)

1. Tighten B2 alignment bolt. The pump will shift to the left until there is tension on the belt. Then tighten B2 nut.
2. Tighten B1 alignment bolt, until sheaves are straight. (Use a straightedge for alignment.)
3. Push on the v-belt to check belt deflection for tension. There should be 1/4″ to 1/2″ deflection for correct tension.
4. If sheaves are straight and tension is correct, tighten B1 nut and the four pump mounting bolts (A).
5. If tension is not correct, repeat steps 6 and 7 until correct alignment and tension is achieved. Tighten the four mounting bolts (A) when completed.
6. Loosen B2 nut, tighten B2 bolt, tighten B2 nut.
7. Loosen B1 nut, tighten B1 bolt, tighten B1 nut.

BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT: The air shutter has been factory preset for proper operation between sea level and 2000 feet elevation at standard conditions (60°F ambient water and air temperatures). In colder temperatures or higher altitudes, it may be necessary to adjust the air supply to the combustion chamber.
This adjustment will maximize burner efficiency and avoid inefficient operation or excessive sooting of the heat exchanger coil.
A smoke spot test is recommended during any air shutter and band adjustment.
If you do not have the equipment to perform a smoke spot test, follow the procedures listed below.

1. The machine must be running and the burner ON.
2. Loosen the Locking Screw (#3 at left) on the shutter.
3. Check for smoke from the heat exchanger exhaust. If smoke is not present, slowly close the Air Shutter (#1 at left) by moving the dial counterclockwise to a lower number. Continue moving the dial until smoke appears.
4. Record this setting.
5. Open Air Shutter (#1 at left) two increments. Example: If Air Shutter was set at 2, move it to 4.
6. Slowly trigger the gun on and off. This will cause the burner to turn on and off. Look for a smoke puff when the burner ignites.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until a smoke puff is noticed. Record the Air Shutter Setting.
8. The difference between the recorded settings in steps 4 and 7 is the combustion window. Set the dial 1/2 way between these settings.

NOTE: If you are unable to detect a setting on either step 3 or 7, more or less air may be needed to achieve a proper combustion window.
Loosen the Bolt (#4 at left) and open the Air Band (#2 at left) in 1/4″ increments. Repeat steps 3-8 until proper combustion window is achieved.

TEST WATER & FUEL PRESSURE: These procedures should be performed by an authorized service technician.
TEST WATER TEMPERATURE: This procedure should be performed by an authorized service technician.
MAINTENANCE – EVERY 6 MONTHS
REPLACE FUEL FILTER – Follow the instructions specified on the fuel filter for correct procedure.
MAINTENANCE – EVERY 12 MONTHS
DELIME COIL – A loss in pressure may signify that the coil needs to de delimed.
Do this procedure on a periodic basis.

1. Mix deliming powder/solution according to package directions.
2. Remove the nozzle from the wand. Place a nylon stocking over the wand assembly to collect debris, then place the wand assembly into the float tank.
3. Ensure the trigger gun is open and start the engine to allow water to circulate through the system. Allow process to continue for 2-4 hours (Consult deliming agent package directions for exact time).
4. Once process is complete, turn off engine. Drain and clean the float tank, remove the nylon stocking, and clean the gun and wand assembly.
5. Flush the entire system with clean, fresh water and place the nozzle in the wand assembly.
6. Dispose of deliming solution according to local, state, and federal regulations.

TEST VOLTAGE AND AMP DRAW – Use a voltmeter and amp meter to test the machine for correct voltage and amperage. If you do not have these instruments or are unsure of how to perform these tests, this procedure should be performed by an authorized service technician.
INSPECT BURNER FUEL PUMP INTERNAL FILTER – This procedure should be performed by an authorized service technician.
CHECK BURNER ELECTRODES – This procedure should be performed by an authorized service technician.
REPLACE FUEL NOZZLE – This procedure should be performed by an authorized service technician.
MAINTENANCE-SEASONAL:
