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 150/230/410 M/A has the option of (2)
different engines. The Isuzu 22.8 H.P. and 40.3 diesel units. For more detailed information
please refer to the Engine Operator Maintenance Manual and Warranty provided with your Melt-
er 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.
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.
Burner: There are several items that need to be inspected periodically on the burners. These
items include the burner nozzle, electrode and head position, chamber lining (see below) and
the electric eye. Please refer to the burner manual on how to perform each of these operations
in this manual..
After each 200 hours of operation, the chamber lining should be inspected. Remove (8) burner
mount securing bolts (A) and pull out burner and mount. Inspect lining (B) for excessive crack-
ing. Also check the condition of retainer (C). Lining cracks are acceptable as long as they are
not large enough to allow flame to contact the combustion chamber walls.
