5.11 Storing the Machine
Store the machine in an area where moisture cannot enter the heating system such as heat transfer
oil tank, etc. Extended down time can cause moisture build up in the heating tank.
Evidence that moisture has collected in the heat transfer oil is a constant popping noise. If this
popping noise is heard, warm the heat transfer oil to 300°F for two to three hours to evaporate the
moisture. Failure to follow this procedure will cause the heat transfer oil to overflow the tank
resulting in possible machine damage and/or personal injury.
Best practice is to check in the material tank prior to starting the burner. If water is present, try and
remove as much as possible, heat the material to 300°F for two to three hours to evaporate the
moisture. Failure to follow this procedure will cause the material to overflow the tank resulting in
possible machine damage and/or personal injury.
Store the machine for longer periods with the material tank empty.
