ELECTRIC OVERNIGHT HEAT OPTION INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of this option is to keep the temperature of the material inside the
hopper warm overnight using electric heat instead of the diesel burner. This option
is not intended to be the primary heating source for the material.
WARNING: READ THE ENTIRE PAGE OF INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE
THE ELECTRIC OVERNIGHT HEAT OPTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.
WARNING: THE DISCONNECT (LOCATED ON THE REAR HOPPER WALL) MUST ALWAYS
BE IN THE OFF POSITION WHEN CONNECTING THE EXTENSION CORD TO THE
EQUIPMENT OR TO BUILDING POWER.
WARNING: NEVER HOOK UP THE ELECTRIC OVERNIGHT HEAT TO A GENERATOR OR
SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR.
WARNING: BEFORE EACH USE, INSPECT THE SYSTEM TO ENSURE ALL COMPONENTS
ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.
NOTICE: THE DISCONNECT USES 30 AMP TIME-DELAY FUSES.
OPERATING STEPS
1) TURN THE DISCONNECT TO THE OFF POSITION
2) FALCON OFFERS BOTH 110V and 240V ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS. THE VOLTAGE IS
IDENTIFIED ON THE DISCONNECT BOX AS WELL AS THE CORD CAP. IDENTIFY AN
APPROPRIATE POWER OUTLET WITH A GROUND FAULT RECEPTACLE FOR USE IN
CONNECTING AN EXTENSION CORD TO THE CORD CAP OF THE EQUIPMENT.
3) PLUG IN EXTENSION CORD SUFFICIENT FOR A 30-AMP DRAW FROM BUILDING POWER
TO THE EQUIPMENT. THE GAUGE OF THE EXTENSION CORD IS DETERMINED BY THE
LENGTH OF THE DRAW. SEE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODE.
4) TURN THE DISCONNECT TO THE ON POSITION.
5) TURN THE TOGGLE SWITCH INSIDE THE ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE TO "ELECTRIC".
6) SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER TO A MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 190F.
(SEE PAGE 32 FOR INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER).
7) WHEN FINISHED WITH ELECTRIC HEATING PROCESS, TURN OFF THE DISCONNECT,
REMOVE THE EXTENSION CORD and FLIP THE TOGGLE SWITCH TO "DIESEL" TO START
USING THE DIESEL BURNER HEATING SYSTEM.
