Gasoline Powered Hot Water Equipment

Daily: _____ Check oil level in motor.
Daily: _____ Check fuel levels. Add diesel or kerosene to black tank marked diesel. Add gasoline to red tank marked gas. DO NOT ADD GAS TO DIESEL TANK – EXPLOSION CAN OCCUR!
Monthly: _____ Check oil level in pump and inspect belts for wear.

To start machine:

_____ 1. Make sure burner switch is in off position.
_____ 2. Choke engine – start motor. (Starting the motor with the trigger pulled ensures easy start.)
_____ 3. Turn on burner – set temperature gauge to desired temperature.
_____ 4. When finished cleaning – turn off burner and run machine until discharge water is cool.
_____ 5. Pull trigger when machine is off to release pressure in system.

Winterization

To winterize system:

_____ 1. With machine off – close ball valve to water and open valve to antifreeze tank.
_____ 2. Start engine – do not turn on burner.
_____ 3. Run machine with antifreeze valve open until it flows out end of wand, then release trigger and re-pull trigger briefly. System is now antifreezed.
_____ 4. Upon start-up: close antifreeze ball valve and open water valve. Remove nozzle and place end of wand in antifreeze tank. Start machine and run machine until all antifreeze has been recaptured into antifreeze tank.

IMPORTANT: CHECK ANTIFREEZE PROTECTION LEVEL AND MAKE SURE THAT FREEZE LEVEL IS BELOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES!

Freezing will cause extensive damage to equipment.
