Engineered for Safety

North America’s #1 Manufacturer of High-Quality Cleaning Equipment

Meets all OSHA Requirements

Pressure Washers

All Hotsy Standard Pressure Washers are ETL-Certified

Pressure Washers Certified to UL-1776

Meets OSHA Regulations 29 CFR 1926.403(a)

What does it mean to be certified?For years, electrical appliances and small equipment have carried certification seals. It is the government’s way of providing consumers with confidence in the safety of manufactured products. While the govern-ment doesn’t perform the actual product testing, test procedures are heavily scrutinized and endorsed by federal agencies.

Historically, the most popular certification seals were:

• Underwriter Laboratory (UL) in the U.S.

• Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada

Now there are other testing laboratories that are approved by OSHA – the U.S. government’s “watch dog” – who can certify a wide range of products. Among them is Intertek Testing Services (ITS), the internationally recognized laboratory used to certify Hotsy Equipment.

Why Buy Only Certified Equipment?When it comes to product safety, there are a number of reasons businesses will want to buy only equipment that has been certified to safety standards by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as UL, or in the case of Hotsy Equipment, the OSHA-approved testing lab, Intertek ETL Semko:• Legal Compliance: It is now the law in the workplace, according to OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926.403(a), that electrical equipment must be “approved” by a recognized electrical testing agen-cy. Failure to comply can result in stiff penalties.

• Worker Protection: It makes good business sense to offer your workers a safe environment by providing them with the safest equipment possible.

• Liability Protection: In the days of costly litigation, one of your best protections against accidents on the job is to purchase only equipment that has been certi-fied by an NRTL to rigorous safety standards.

Be assured you are buying a pressure washer engineered for safety. Hotsy Pressure Washers bear the ETL listed marking label.

OSHA (CCOHS) regulation 1910.399 and 1910.303(a) states: All electrical and other types of equipment used in the workplace must be “listed” by an “approved” testing agency. Failure to comply can result in penalties and removal of all equipment that does not display the certification mark from a NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories).

Worker Protection: Manufacturers that submit their product for certification are inspected by a NRTL (UL, CSA, ETL) to industry safety standards. These standards contain safety devices, testing, practices and warnings to protect the operator from any unforeseen danger.

Liability Protection: In this day of costly litigation, one of our best legal protections against an accident on the job is purchasing only equipment that has been certified by an NRTL to rigorous pressure washer industry safety standards.

CARB: Hotsy is compliant to section 213 of the Clean Air Act.

ISO: Hotsy’s manufacturing facilities are registered by TUV to both the international ISO-9001 quality standard and ISO-14001 Environmental Standard.

C-Tick: N-1417 is our registration number to verify our equipment has been tested for electrical interference emissions.

NOTE: We are constantly improving and updating our products. Consequently, pictures, featuresand specifications in this brochure may differ slightly from current models. Flow rates and pressure ratings may vary due to variances allowed by manufacturers of our machine components. We attempt to keep our machine performance within + _ 10% of listed specifications.

THE HOTSY ADVANTAGE: What Makes Hotsy So Different?1. BUILT HOTSY TOUGH AND OPERATOR

SAFE Hotsy is compliant with all Industry safety standards – ETL/ETLC Certified to UL 1776 and CSA B140.11. Our Pressure Washer Standards meet or exceed OSHA Regulations 1910.399-1910.303a. When you’re buying high pressure cleaning equipment, you can rest assured that Hotsy products are engineered to the highest level of safety and quality.

2. WELDED FRAMES Hotsy frames are welded. They hold up to vibration and are stronger than frames held together with nuts and bolts. Built using ISO 9001 standards.

3. HIGH PRESSURE PUMP Hotsy manufactures its own pumps, with a 7-year non prorated warranty on the oil end and manifold of the Hotsy pump.

4. VIBRATION DAMPENING Mounting plates reduce engine vibration and thus extend the life of the unit.

5. ENGINES & MOTORS Hotsy uses engines that are both EPA and CEPA compliant. Hotsy registered and received a certificate from the federal EPA in compliance with the Clean Air Act of 1990. We use only safety certified motors which have thermal overload protection and comply with the new Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 (EISA) in compliance with the NEMA Premium efficiency. Our gasoline and diesel engines are Tier lll and IV final emission – compliant.

6. HEATING COIL Hotsy has 16 different coil sizes made from heavy duty schedule 80 pipe. The heating coil size is custom matched for optimum performance. 5 year non prorated warranty.

10. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND ENCLOSURES Hotsy uses only certified electrical components, meet the NEC standard and passed all of the rigorous current leakage, temperature, dielectric strength and water spray testing of UL 1776 section 84.

11. POWDER COATED PAINT SURFACES All metal surfaces are phosphatized, then powder coated to ensure excellent paint adherence adhesion, protection and longevity. Hotsy uses the strongest coating available while conforming to environmental regulations.

12. POLYETHYLENE FUEL TANKS Hotsy fuel tanks are made from flame resistant material that has been tested to the UL 94 safety standard for Flammability of Plastic Materials. Our fuel tanks also passed the rigorous ball-impact, Izod and aging tests.

13. TRIGGER GUN The Hotsy trigger gun is ergonomically designed to prevent fatigue and meet or exceed UL section 70 & 71 drop impact and aging standards.

14. WAND All Hotsy wands are chrome plated for durability. Hot water units come with insulated wands and are manufactured to exact length required by safety standards, preventing injection injuries.

15. HOSE All hoses are marked with working pressure and temperature. All are manufactured with a burst rating of four times the working pressure. Hotsy uses only reliable, long-lasting Class A rated hoses. Each is equipped with a required 24" bend restrictor to meet safety standards on models rated above 3200 PSI.

7. COMBUSTION CHAMBER Hotsy combustion chambers are extra-efficient and are fired vertically for easy venting. The upright heating coil is more fuel efficient and burns cleaner than horizontal coils. Hotsy conforms to UL-296 Oil Burner safety standards and meets or exceeds the Clean Air Act of 1990 Certification.

8. THERMOSTAT Hotsy pressure washers use thermostats for adjusting the temperature. This saves fuel without compromising cleaning power.

9. TRANSPARENT PLASTIC BOWL FUEL FILTER Hotsy’s transparent plastic bowl fuel filter allows the operator to see and remove any sediment or water in the fuel to protect the burner.
