Shrinkfast 998 UL, Operating, Field Maintenance, And Parts Manual

Page: 15 / 42

WARNING: Icing of the tank and regulator is quite common when
running the heat tool continuously with a partially filled propane tank.
However, if you are ever in doubt regarding the safety or operation of
your heat tool, shut off the tank and contact your authorized Shrinkfast
distributor or Shrinkfast directly.
•
Small or nearly empty tanks ice up faster than larger, full tanks. Typically, a
full 20 lb. tank, if operated continuously, will run for 90 minutes before ice
builds up on the outside of the tank.
•
If your shrink wrapping project requires continuous use of the heat tool, try the
following methods:
•
Use multiple tanks—Switch the heat tool from one tank to
another.
•
Use a portable fan—Point an ordinary desk fan at the tank, and
the air flow around the tank will help the tank from icing up.
