Safety Warnings
■
The burners covered by this guide are designed to
mix gas with air and burn the resulting mixture. All
gas burning devices are capable of producing fires
and explosions if improperly applied, installed,
adjusted, controlled or maintained.
■
Do
not
bypass
any
safety
feature;
fire
or
explosion
could result.
■
Never try to light a burner if it shows signs of
damage or malfunction.
■
The burner and duct sections are likely to have
HOT surfaces. Always wear protective clothing
when approaching the burner.
■
Eclipse products are designed to minimize the use
of materials that contain crystalline silica.
Examples of these chemicals are: respirable
crystalline silica from bricks, cement or other
masonry products and respirable refractory
ceramic fibers from insulating blankets, boards, or
gaskets. Despite these efforts, dust created by
sanding, sawing, grinding, cutting and other
construction activities could release crystalline
silica. Crystalline silica is known to cause cancer,
and health risks from the exposure to these
chemicals vary depending on the frequency and
length of exposure to these chemicals. To reduce
the risk, limit exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well-ventilated area and wear approved personal
protective safety equipment for these chemicals.
■
This manual provides information in the use of the
burner for its specific design purpose. Do not
deviate from any instructions or application limits
described herein without written advice from
Eclipse.
Capabilities
Only qualified personnel, with good mechanical aptitude
and experience with combustion equipment, should
adjust, maintain, or troubleshoot any mechanical or
electrical part of this system.
Operator Training
The best safety precaution is an alert and trained
operator. Train new operators thoroughly and have them
demonstrate an adequate understanding of the
equipment and its operation. A regular retraining schedule
should be administered to ensure operators maintain a
high degree of proficiency.
Replacement Parts
Order replacement parts from Eclipse only. Any customer-
supplied valves or switches should carry UL, FM, CSA,
CGA and/or CE approvals where applicable.
