Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions
PRECAUTIONS
Waste oil may contain many foreign materials. Waste oil may also contain
gasoline. Therefore, specific precautions on the handling and storage of waste
oils are to be observed when using, cleaning, and maintaining this heater.
Use a
screen in a funnel when pouring oil into storage tank to catch foreign
material, i.e., gasket material and sealant fibers, etc. WARNING: This
appliance is not designated for use in hazardous atmospheres containing
flammable vapors or combustible dust, or atmospheres containing
chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons. Do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture. If installed in high moisture atmosphere, a special cover for
the integrated air compressor must be obtained from factory to avoid
rusting of internal raw metals. If this occurs, see trouble-shooting guide for
remedy.
Uses only crank case oil, gear oil, hydraulic oils, auto trans. Fluid, or #1
and #2 furnace oil. Do not use old, contaminated oils that have been stored in
underground tanks or outside barrels for long periods. Excessive water and
sludge may be present, causing quick filter plugging.
NOTES:
The instructions contained in this manual apply to the installation,
operation, and service of Omni Waste oil fired heaters. The following instructions
should be carefully followed for obtaining the best possible installation, operation,
and service conditions. Specifications are subject to change without notice. This
heater was designed to be a primary or auxiliary heat source, but not the only
source of heat. And provide economical disposal of waste oil. Proper operation
depends on the consistency of the oil. Any water or foreign material in the oil may
cause the unit to shut down. If a continuous stream of oil cannot be guaranteed
at the heater, the main heating system should be set above freezing which will
prevent any building damage if the waste oil heater were to become inoperative
during subfreezing weather, i.e. supply tank empty, filter plugged, etc.
UNCRATING:
Immediately upon uncrating units, check rating plate for certainty
of electrical and mechanical characteristics. Also, check the unit for any damage
that may have been incurred in shipment, if any damage is found, file a claim
with the transporting agency. The unit has been tested and inspected at the
factory prior to crating and was in perfect condition at that time. If anything is
missing, check packing slip for indications of possible backorder of those parts or
components. Otherwise, a claim must be filed for those missing parts.
