DANGER:
The above distances serve as a GUIDELINE ONLY! You MUST
ALWAYS observe the down range area regardless of the wind speed. You
must always observe local fire ordinances and directives from the local fire
department or other authorities.
4. The Machine should be placed on cleared, level ground.
The placement or positioning of the machine on the job site can be very important.
The machine should be placed in a manner to give the greatest clearance on the down
-wind side of the pit. The unit should be placed on level ground to facilitate proper posi-
tioning of the manifold alongside the pit.
5. The Machine should be placed such that no combustible material is within a
minimum of 100 foot clearance in any direction.
The machine should not be located over combustibles, such as dry grass, brush or
peat moss. In addition, hot embers will escape from the pit and, depending on the
wind, will land on the ground around the unit. The unit should not be located within 100
feet of any combustible material.
The waste material to be burned during the day’s operation can be staged within the
100 foot perimeter to facilitate loading. The operator must monitor the loading pile to
insure embers do not ignite the loading pile. The combustible materials to be stored for
burning at a later date must be stored outside the 100 foot perimeter or in accordance
with the chart below which suggests adjustments for wind speed.
