HP SERIES OPERATOR’S MANUAL
7
Shark HP • Rev. 1/03
Electrical:
This machine, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance to local codes. Check for proper
power supply using a volt meter.
Placement:
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 from walls should be adequate.)
Water Source:
The water source for the pressure washer should be sup-
plied by a minimum 5/8" I.D. garden hose with a city wa-
ter pressure of not less than 30 PSI. If the water supply
is inadequate, or if the garden hose is kinked, the at-
tached pressure washer will run very rough and the
burner will not fire.
Connection:
See Component Identification on page 6.
Venting:
Adding exhaust vent pipe to your oil fired burner is not
recommended because restricted air flow causes car-
bon build-up, which affects the operation, and increases
maintenance on the coil. If a stack must be used, refrain
from using 90 degree bends. If the pipe can not go straight
up then use only 45 degree bends and go to the next
size pipe. The overall pipe length must not exceed 6 feet
in length.
STARTING AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
To Start:
1. STOP! Read operator’s manual from both the pres-
sure washer and the HP before operating. Failure to
read operation and warning instructions may result
in personal injury or property damage.
2. Check fuel tank and pump oil levels on both
machines.
3. Connect garden hose to pressure washer.
CAUTION: Only use fresh water to this machine.
4. Attach high pressure hose between pressure washer
and HP, as shown on page 6. Turn garden hose wa-
ter on. Additional adapters and couplers may be
needed to connect your brand of pressure washer
to the HP.
5. Connect the power cord into the proper electrical
outlet, then push in the GFCI reset button.
6. Start up attached pressure washer according to the
manufacturers instructions. When a steady stream
of water flows from the spray gun and wand the ma-
chine is ready for cold water cleaning.
7. For hot water washing, turn the HP burner switch to
the ON position. Adjust thermostat to desired tem-
perature setting. (The burner will light automatically.)
To Stop:
1. If using an optional detergent injector, place the de-
tergent line in a bucket of water allowing detergent
to be flushed from system.
2. Turn HP burner switch off and continue spraying wa-
ter, allowing the water to cool.
3. After water has cooled to less than 100°F, turn the
attached pressure washer off.
4. Turn garden hose water off. Open the spray gun to
relieve remaining pressure.
5. Protect from freezing.
PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE
1. Use clean fuel - kerosene, No. 1 home heating fuel
or diesel. Clean or replace fuel filter every 100 hours
of operation. Avoid water contaminated fuel as it will
seize up the fuel pump. De-soot coils monthly. Use
an additive if diesel is being used.
2. Check to see that the attached pressure washer wa-
ter pump is properly lubricated.
3. Follow winterizing instructions to prevent freeze dam-
age to pump and coils.
4. Always neutralize and flush detergent from system
after use.
5. If water is known to be high in mineral content, use a
water softener on your water system, or de-scale as
needed.
6. Do not allow acidic, caustic or abrasive fluids to be
pumped through system.
7. Always use high grade quality cleaning products.
8. Never run attached pressure washer pump dry for
extended periods of time.
9. If machine is operated with smoky or eye burning
exhaust, coils will soot up, not letting water reach
maximum operating temperature. (See section on
Maintenance and Service).
10. Never allow water to be sprayed on or near the mo-
tor or burner assembly or any electrical component.
11. Delime coils as per instructions.
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.
