Engine: The operation and life of the engine depends on you and your operator. Do not start
engine until the engine precheck is complete. The engine precheck consists of checking the
oil, the fuel level, the hydraulic oil level and the air filter. The 110/230/410 M/A has the option
of (2) different engines. The Kohler Command 16 H.P. OHC (propane units) and the Isuzu
25.4 H.P. (diesel units). Basic engine maintenance is shown in Table 1 on page 40. For more
detailed information please refer to the Engine Operator Maintenance Manual and Warranty
provided with your Melter applicator.
NOTE: When breaking in a new Melter, we recommend running the engine for one
hour with no load prior to actual use on the job.
Air cleaner: Due to the dusty conditions that can be created by road work, it is essential to
check the engine air cleaner element daily. Remove element and shake out the accumulated
dust and dirt. Wipe out dirt from inside cover and from housing. Check engine manual for
washing instructions. We recommend stocking replacement filters.
Lubrication: The Melter should be greased according to table 1 on page 40 of this manual.
Diesel Units: Use of high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service
class CC or CD grade. Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the
time of operation. Check your engine manual for other recommendations.
Propane Units: Use of high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute)
service class SG or SH grade. Select the viscosity based on the air
temperature at the time of operation. Check your engine manual for other
recommendations.
Burner: There are several items that need to be inspected periodically on the burners.
These items include the burner motor brushes, the nozzle, electrode and head position, cham-
ber lining and the 4 electric eye. Inspect according to table 1 on page 40. There is a section
on how to perform each of these operations in this manual, check the index on pages 2 & 3 to
