( Figure 6-1 ), (see Tank Circulate Mode in Section
6).
Operating the burners without
circulating the product can create explosive fumes.
If the product can not be circulated after 15 minutes
of heating, the fuel to the burners must be turned off,
while leaving the blowers running (15 minutes ON, 15
minutes OFF). Do not try to heat material again for
30 minutes.
9. Set asphalt pump to the forward position at a flow of
75 - 100 GPM.
10. Turn the fuel and blower switches on the fender
controls OFF.
NOTE: Burner Control switch is a momentary switch and
will return to the OFF position. An icon will display
on the screen when the Burner Control switch
has enabled the burner system controls.
11. Turn the Burner Control switch ON.
12. Turn lower burner blower switch on the fender
controls ON. Wait 1 to 2 minutes to purge residual
gas fumes from system before proceeding.
13. Turn lower burner fuel switch on the fender controls
to the ON position.
NOTE: The burner should light. If it does not start
immediately, shut OFF fuel, run blower to clear
fuel from flue and retry in 1 to 2 minutes.
If the fuel is not cleared from the flue,
the fuel may backfire through the burner when the
operator tries to relight it. The operator could get
burned.
DO NOT SMOKE around the machine.
Fuel, asphalt material and the fumes from both
can explode when exposed to flame or heat from
smoking or other sources.
Hot material will turn water into steam
and can cause an explosion.
3. Be sure that flue tubes are covered by at least 8
inches of material. Read the tank dipstick. If the
amount in the tank is less than the recommended
amount in
Table 6-3. Tank Contents Chart to
Ensure Flue Tube Coverage , do not use the
burners. Using the burners without enough material
in the tank will cause damage to the flue tubes and
could cause an explosion.
Never operate the burners if the flue
tubes are not covered with at least 8” of material. The
flue tubes can become red hot and ignite the vapors
causing an explosion.
4. Start and run the engine at 1000 to 1200 RPM,
engage PTO (if equipped). This provides power to
the asphalt pump.
5. Do not load, unload, transport or spray while
burners are operating.
6. Turn the Plus One Controller Master switch ON to
activate the system, ( Figure 5-2,1 ).
7. Set the Plus One Controller to the required
temperature for the material being used, ( Figure
6-11 ).
8. Push the Mode Selection Button 2 - Tank Circulate
