OPERA

TION

WARNING

To prevent possible burns: Use extreme
caution when using a torch to heat the pump.
Asphalt accumulated around the pump may
ignite when heating the pump with a torch

If the product is too cold to be circulated, some
heating with the burners will be needed to
increase the temperature enough to be able to
start circulating. Refer to the portion of this
operating manual for instructions on your
particular type of burner.

WARNING

To prevent an explosion or fire hazard: When
the burners go out, shut off the fuel supply to
both burners and allow the flues to ventilate for
at least 3 minutes before re-lighting the burners

WARNING

To prevent an explosion: Do not operate the
burners when the vehicle is unattended, when
the vehicle is in motion, or with the vehicle in a
confined area

Figure 5. Valve Positions for Circulating in the Bar

Circulating in the Tank from the Rear
Control Panel

Before going to the cab to turn the Master Power

switch on, be sure that the Power switch in the rear
panel is “Off”.

In the cab turn the “Power Switch” to the “On” posi-

tion.

Turn the “Rotary Actuator” knob to the “Circulate

in Tank” position.

At the rear control panel, turn the “Pump Control”

knob fully counterclockwise, place the “Pump Control”
switch in the “Rear” position.

Turn the “Master Power” switch “On”.

Place the “Suction Valve” in the “Open” position.

Adjust the “Pump Control” to obtain the desired rate.

100 to 150 GPM is recommended for heating opera-
tions.
