SSG SERIES PRESSURE WASHER 10 OPERATOR’S MANUAL Removal of Soot from Heating Coil: Fuel Pressure Adjustment: In the heating process, fuel residue in the form of soot deposits may develop between the heating coil pipe, and block air flow which will affect burner combustion. When soot has been detected on visual observation, the soot on the coil must be washed off after following the coil removal steps (See Coil Removal on page 9).
SSG SERIES PRESSURE WASHER OPERATOR’S MANUAL 11 Air Adjustment: Coil Removal: Machines are preset and performance tested at the factory - elevation 100'. A one-time initial correction for your location will pay off in economy, performance, and extended service life. If a smoky or eye-burning exhaust is being emitted from the stack, two things should be checked. First, check the fuel to be certain that kerosene or No. 1 home heating fuel is being used. Next, check the air adjustment on the burner.
