Safety
WARNING:
Propane is
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
and potentially
EXPLOSIVE!
Never smoke or allow
an open flame when setting up, dismantling, or switching the propane tank on the equipment.
Ensure that everyone who operates this machine has read and understood this manual.
Safety Wear
– To avoid injury, always wear safety glasses, ear protection, long pants and steel toed
boots when operating this equipment. Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
Emergency Shutoff (a)
– If a fire is present or there is any risk simply let go of the lever and the
safety valve will spring closed and shut off the heaters. Never mechanically fasten the valve
lever in the open position!
Main Propane Shutoff Valve (b)
– In case the safety valve lever fails to spring closed there is a
second back up shut off valve on the left side of the handle that will shut off propane to the
burners. This will not shut off the propane to the Flint 2000EX Heat Torch
Flint 2000EX Heat Torch (c) – Read the separate Operations Manual for the torch before
using.
To avoid risk of serious injury, take care when lighting the torch that it is pointed away
from other people and the machine, especially the hoses and fittings. When heating the ground
near the machine avoid heating close to the pneumatic tires to avoid overheating and bursting
them.
Risk of burn injuries –
the heat generated by the SR28 is enough to cause very serious burns. Use
with extreme care.
Operation –
never drive over any area that has just been heated. This could overheat and burst a
tire causing serious injury. Never operate this equipment indoors. When the heaters are lit
never leave the machine standing in one place, but always keep it moving. Rock the machine
back onto its rear wheel when not in use so the heaters are elevated off the ground for cooling.
Hand Brake (d) -
Always set the hand brake whenever the machine is left unattended. NOTE:
breaking effectiveness is directly related to tire pressure. Always keep the main tires properly
inflated.
Tipping Hazard (e)
– The SR28 needs the propane tanks installed to be properly balanced.
CAUTION:
Never remove the tanks with the heater bank extended
as the machine could tip
over causing damage and potential serious injury (see warning label on the machine)
