2.3 Equipment or Operational Safety
•
Do not operate the machine in buildings or work areas that do not have sufficient airflow.
•
Shut-down the burner and the engine before refilling the fuel tank.
•
Make sure mixer stops before adding solid material to the sealant tank. Lift the lid, place the
material on the lid and close the lid. The mixer should restart automatically.
•
Always keep a correctly maintained fire extinguisher near the machine and know how to use
it.
•
DO NOT heat transfer oil to a temperature of more than 525°F.
•
DO NOT put too much heat transfer oil in the reservoir. The expansion of oil while it heats
up can cause overflow. With the machine on level ground, check the oil each day before
starting the burner. Add oil to the top mark on the dipstick if required (at 70°F). Use only
recommended heat transfer oil. Change the oil after 500 hours of machine operation, or one
year, whichever comes first.
•
Follow the operating instructions for starting and shutting down the burner. Instructions are
mounted on the control box on the machine.
•
Calibrate the temperature control operation after each 50 hours of machine operation. Refer
to section 6.10 Temperature Control Calibration .
•
Replace any hoses which show signs of wear, fraying or splitting.
•
Make sure all fittings and joints are tight and do not leak each time the machine is used.
•
Do not leave the machine unattended while the burner is lit.

Tighten all bolts and screws every 100 hours of machine operation.
