Operating Procedure
Lighting the Heaters
Once the propane bottles are installed
and the heater bank lowered and
leveled, open the valves on the propane
tanks. Ensure that the pressure on the
heater regulator (see above) is between
6 and 7 PSI (41 - 48 kPa). Rock the
machine onto its front wheel. Check that
the nearest burner valve is open if you
want all four heaters to light, and that the
main shut off valve to the left of the
handle bar is open.
Open the burner valve by pulling the
valve lever against the handlebar (red
circle at right). While holding the valve
open, light the heaters by waving the
Flint 200EX Heat Torch back and forth
under the heaters for about 5 seconds.
CAUTION: To avoid lighting the heaters internally (which will damage them), always light from
UNDERNEATH the heaters
To shut off the heaters simply let go of the valve lever
Tilt the machine onto its rear wheel to avoid burning the pavement surface as the heaters cool
Flint 2000EX Heat Torch
IMPORTANT: READ THE FLINT 2000EX MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING. The Flint 2000EX torch is
necessary for both lighting the heaters and to heat areas
which the SR28 cannot reach because of obstacles.
Connect and mount the torch as shown using the quick
connect coupler. Set the torch regulator pressure (see
right) to between 21 and 45 PSI (145 – 310 kPa). There is
no separate shut off valve for the torch, but if the torch is
disconnected, the valve in the quick connect coupling will
shut and prevent any gas flow.
