3. Electrical installations for Sioux All Electric units are critical and should be made by qualified electricians in accordance
with local codes and national standards.
4. For maximum protection of equipment and operating personnel, we recommend use of ground fault interrupter where
available.
5. SIOUX ALL ELECTRIC equipment operates on the basis of resistance heating and SHOULD BE PROTECTED
ELECTRICALLY BY SUITABLE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSING IN PLANT INSTALLATION.
6. Full load amp rating is stamped on the equipment nameplates.
7. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
INSUFFICIENT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE
ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE FULL OPERATING CURRENT (AMPS) RATING OF THE UNIT.
C. LOCATION
1. Locate unit on a level surface.
2. Ensure there is adequate space surrounding the cleaner in order to provide service.
3. Provide proper drainage.
4. Protect unit from inclement weather. Keep unit from freezing. Where the unit is subject to freezing conditions, insulate the
inlet and outlet water pipes and freeze protect the unit (see maintenance and storage sections).
5. SETUP
ALWAYS CHECK TO BE SURE GUN, HOSE AND NOZZLES ARE CLEAR OF FOREIGN MATTER BEFORE
CONNECTING TO UNIT.
1. Unpack and inspect unit for damage which may have occurred in shipment.
2. Inspect and tighten fittings that may have been loosened due to vibration during shipment.
3. Connect the hose to the inlet of the trigger shut off gun. Use a Teflon tape or a quality pipe sealant. Attach the male quick
coupler (included with the trigger gun and nozzle) to the hose. Attach the hose to the female quick coupler on:
a. On direct feed or ‘H’ models: Pump outlet
b. With a float tank or ‘P, S’ models: On the outlet of the heating element.
4. Mounting the caster onto the frame depends on the number of heating elements on your machine:
a. One, two, or three heating elements: Install casters into each of the four legs of the frame. A threaded insert has been
installed into the square tubing. Insert the threaded bolt into the square tubing of each caster and tighten the caster by
locking the wheel and turning it clockwise. A wrench can be used to secure the caster.
b. Four heating elements: Attach each caster to the four square base plates located underneath the machine. The base
plates are slotted for the bolt head to slide into the slot. In the box with the casters are the required bolts, washers and
nuts.
5. Have a qualified electrician connect the unit to a properly fused electrical supply. Use grounded electrical wiring of
sufficient size to ensure proper voltage at the machine. All work must comply with local codes, as applicable. See electrical
requirements in Installation Requirements section for additional information.
6. Connect water source, preferably an extra heavy-duty garden hose, to water inlet. Provide solid fittings on garden hose.
Inlet water temperature should not exceed 60° F/15°C. Turn water source on.
6
7. Adjust float and rod as required to provide constant supply of water to keep the float tank at least half full at all times or 4”/
10 cm below the top of the float tank.
8. Prime the pump. Priming is the process whereby water floods the pump compartment and piping, completely replacing all
air in system.
a. With the hose and wand connected to the outlet (either pump outlet – “H” models or heating element(s) – “P, or S”
models) remove the nozzle from the end of the wand.
b. Push the Pump “On” button in to turn the pump on and hold the trigger gun open. Allow the pump to pump water
through the entire system until water is exiting the wand. Typically the pump will need to run for 3 – 5 minutes to purge
the entire system.
c. Place the supplied detergent suction hose into a container of detergent or water. Open the detergent metering valve or
injector to purge air from detergent line. Close the valve once the entire line is filled with liquid.
d. Push the Pump “Off” button in again to shut the pump off.
9. The unit is now ready for operation. Install a pressure washer tip or steam nozzle before operating. Follow the instructions
under OPERATION.
6. OPERATION
BE SURE ALL AIR HAS BEEN PURGED FROM SYSTEM BY ALLOWING A STEADY STREAM OF WATER TO FLOW
FROM THE GUN BEFORE THE HEATING ELEMENTS ARE TURNED ON. HEATING ELEMENTS CAN BE DAMAGED IF
OPERATED WITHOUT WATER.
Water enters the float tank via water supply hose supplied by the customer. The float tank is designed with a float valve, which allows
for a constant flow of water to the pump at all times. The water flows through the pump, where it is pressurized and then flows
through the heating element(s) where it is heated to the specified temperature and then travels through the hose and out the gun.
When the trigger shut off gun is closed (note trigger shut off gun is optional on “S” models), the unloader valve on the pump opens
and routes water through a bypass hose back to the pump inlet. When this happens, the flow switch senses the lack of water flow and
shuts off the heating element(s). Once the trigger gun is squeezed the trigger restarts water flow and heating element(s). A thermal
relief valve will open if the machine remains in bypass mode and causes the water in the bypass loop to reach 140°F/60°C. Allowing
the pump to run in bypass for extended periods of time will damage the pump seals and decrease the life of the pump.
The high temp limit switch will shut the heating element off if the outlet temp reaches the set temperature to a maximum of
320°F/160°C.
b. On direct feed or ‘H’ models:
Water enters the heating element via a water supply hose supplied by the customer. Water is heated before the water heating elements
to a maximum of 140°F/60°C. The water flows through the pump, where it is pressurized and travels through the hose and out the
gun.
When the shut off gun is closed, the unloader valve on the pump opens and routes water through a bypass hose back to the heating
element inlet. When this happens, the flow switch senses the lack of water flow and shuts off the heating element(s). The high temp
limit switch will shut the heating element off if the outlet temp reaches the preset temperature of 140°F/60°. Once the trigger gun is
squeezed, the water flows through the system activates the flow switch and then the heating element(s) will start heating the water.
Note: allowing the pump to run in bypass for extended periods of time will damage the pump seals and decrease the life of the pump.
Detergent application: P, S, or H models:
Detergent can be used in the cleaner via the clear suction hose. To add detergent to the system place the hose into a container of
SIOUX’S INDUSTRIAL CLEANING DETERGENT.
1. P or S models:
a. Place the detergent suction hose with filter into our container of detergent.
7
b. Close the ball valve located below the float tank.
c. The suction hose connects to a metering valve mounted on the water pump. Open the metering valve to begin
applying detergent. The amount of detergent applied can be adjusted based on how far the knob is turned open.
d. When finished applying detergent, close the metering valve and open the valve below the float tank.
2. H models: A downstream injector is mounted on the discharge of the pump. A detergent suction hose is attached to this
injector.
a. Place the suction hose into the container of detergent.
b. Set the adjustment knob on the injector to the desired ratio of detergent.
c. To begin applying detergent twist the side handle grip on the wand forward (clockwise) to begin drawing
detergent through the injector. The water will be diverted to the second barrel on the lance. The pressure will be
reduced at the wand and detergent will begin to be drawn through the injector.
d. To stop applying detergent close the side handle grip until water has stopped flowing through the second barrel.
DO NOT LEAVE THE DETERGENT METERING VALVE OPEN IF THERE IS NO DETERGENT IN THE DETERGENT
CONTAINER. THIS WILL CAUSE AIR TO BE SUCKED INTO THE PUMP INLET, WHICH WILL CAUSE CAVITATION
AND DAMAGE THE PUMP.

2. Remove gun and hose.
3. Between the pump suction and the discharge of the heating element is a short black jumper hose. Disconnect
the hose at the heating element. Place the hose into a container of anti-freeze. Turn on the pump to draw the
fluid through the pump.
4. When anti-freeze is flowing out at the hose shut pump off immediately, leaving anti-freeze within the pump.
5. Remove drain plug(s) on discharge outlet end of electric heating element(s). When all the water has drained
out the element(s), Replace drain plug(s).
6. Replace gun and hose.
E. STORAGE/MOVING
If the unit will be stored for a period of time, store according to the following guidelines:
1. Drain unit and protect from freezing. See section above.
2. Disconnect from electrical source.
3. Remove hose. Coil and store on the hose hook.
4. Cover all openings (water inlet, water outlet, hose ends, gun ends, etc.)
5. Cover unit with waterproof material to keep dust and moisture out.
6. In high humidity environments, place desiccant or calcium chloride under the tarp or in the electrical enclosure to absorb
excess moisture.
b. H models:
1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Remove plug from heating and drain water from heating element(s). Once the element is drained install plug.
3. Remove the screen from the Y strainer located on the inlet to the heating element.
4. Remove hose from heating element to pump inlet
5. Mix Sioux Descaler and water in a clean container. Acceptable descaler/water ratios range from 1:1 to 1:3.
Each heating element will require 3 gallons/11.3 liters of solution.
6. With a funnel, slowly pour the solution into the hose and continue to fill the element(s) up until solution exits
out the Y strainer.
i. NOTE: You can use a separate pump to fill the heating elements.
7. Allow the solution to remain in the vessels for 2-3 hours.
12
8. Drain the element(s) and test a sample of the spent solution, by checking the pH level of the solution using
litmus paper. The element is completely descaled when the pH level is acidic and constant. If the pH
increases above 5, continue with another batch of descaler solution. Once the solution pH remains constant
below 5 between two 15 minute increments, the deliming is complete.
9. Turn on water supply and reactivate the pump. Flush the system with clear water for at least 5 minutes. For
increased life of the equipment, flush with alkaline detergent to neutralize descaler.
10. Shut off water supply. Reattach gun to discharge hose. Return to normal use.
ACID REMAINING IN EQUIPMENT WILL CAUSE CORROSION AND/OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO METAL PLUMBING,
RESULTING IN PIN HOLES IN HEATING ELEMENT WALL AND DAMAGE TO PUMP. BE SURE TO COMPLETELY
NEUTRALIZE AND PURGE SYSTEM OF ACID.
IF CONDITIONS WARRANT THE DELIMING OF ELEMENTS MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR, IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE A
SEPARATE PUMP FOR DELIMING. THE ACID WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE SEALS IN THE PUMP.

Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install,
operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety
information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property
damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
Description
Plunger Pumps are designed for high-pressure industrial
washing applications. They are constructed of die-cast
bodies and feature a forged brass head with a bayonet
style sight glass in the rear and side covers. Internal
components include special solid ceramic plungers for long
life and durability. Precision cast cooling fins are anodized
for maximum heat dissipation. Oversized premium
tapered roller bearings and the precision supports assure
proper shaft alignment and maximum life. Valve cages of
special designed Ultra-Form provide positive seating and
extended life. Two-piece connecting rods are a special
alloy aluminum-based material oversized for strength
