OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
HEATING COIL PROTECTION:
Protect your heating coil by removing debris or
minerals from inlet water by adding a filter or anti-
scale cartridge. The universal bracket and filter
housing kit (p/n AF001) attaches to most 1” to 1½ “
tubing to fit most pressure washer frames, then
choose the filter insert that will most benefit you.
▪ A 10-micron filter cartridge removes debris, ideal
when using sandy, non-potable, or well water (p/n
VFH11)
▪ The anti-scale cartridge removes minerals to prevent
scale buildup (p/n VFD50)
WET SANDBLASTER: The wet
sandblaster is a system that introduces
sand (or other media such as baking
soda) into the water stream for abrasive
blasting. It is especially effective for
graffiti or paint removal. Performance of the unit is
directly related to the output of your high-pressure
washer. The sand is mixed with the water at the sand
head in a tungsten carbide nozzle.
A vacuum is created in the sand nozzle, which draws
a sand and air mixture up the sand hose. If the sand
becomes wet or the sand nozzle becomes plugged,
the vacuum will be lost and the sand will quit flowing.
The sand probe can be poked directly into a bag or
bucket of sand to draw it up the sand hose. Do not
cover the air intake port on the top of the sand probe
or the sand flow will be disrupted. Uncoil the sand
hose completely before use to improve the sand flow
and replace the sand hose when it becomes worn.
The carbide sand-mixing nozzle can be unscrewed
and replaced when worn.
Use bagged silica sand for best results through the
sandblaster. Use 16 to 20 grit (course) sand for rust
or concrete. Use 30 grit (fine) for fine metal surfaces
or wood. Do not use wet sand or mix different grits of
sand. A sand hopper is available for convenient sand
storage. An air valve is available for adjusting feed
rate on the hopper and should be fully open when
using fine media such as baking soda.
Always use
safety goggles and protective clothing when
operating the wet sand-blaster.
TURBO NOZZLE: (please note temperature
limits) The turbo nozzle multiplies the power
of your machine by rotating the spray jet and
making the water impact a surface harder to
give better cleaning results.
“Turbo Laser” type nozzles cannot be used with water
over 190° or the life of the turbo nozzle will be greatly
decreased and the warranty voided. The “Rotomax”
type nozzle can be used up to 170°. Turn off burner
or reduce temperature setting before using. Simply
remove regular spray nozzle, replace with the turbo
nozzle and squeeze the trigger on the spray gun. Do
not point the turbo nozzle upward when starting.
EXTENSION HOSES: connecting additional hose
lengths by means of twist couplers can extend the
length of your high-pressure discharge hose. Hose
extensions generally come in 50’ and 100’ lengths.
Specify maximum pressure and temperature of your
machine when ordering.
Low-
pressure inlet garden hoses are available in 50’
and 100’ lengths. Premium quality, 200psi rated
hoses are recommended.
WARNING! If your unit is
equipped with 250°F steam option, only use
minimum 250°F rated high-pressure hose.
HOSE REELS: Hose reels are
available for convenient and
quick storage of both discharge
and inlet hoses. Different hose
reels options are available for
trailer
mounting,
machine
mounting, wall mounting, or as
base mount options. To keep
the hose from unreeling, lock
the drum in place and secure
the gun or the end of the hose
or it may drag on the road. The
low-pressure hose should be of sufficient quality that it
will not flatten out when reeled up, or water supply to
the machine will be cut off.
If the reel swivel begins to leak, replace or connect the
hose directly to the machine until the leak is repaired.
Hose reel swivels with lubrication are pre-lubricated by
manufacturer. Additional lubrication intervals depend
on application and frequency of use. However, a
minimum for re-lubrication, with standard Moly Lith
grease, at 40 hours is recommended.
Do not over
grease.
Using a hand held grease gun, dispense one
pump of grease into the grease fitting. Depress the
ball bearing at the end of the grease fitting to allow the
grease and air to escape
