Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a direct-fired heater. The Wacker Neuson direct-fired heater
operates on diesel fuel, which is consumed in a closed combustion chamber. The
machine consists of a stainless steel combustion chamber, blower, single-stage
burner, high-temperature shut-down device, and a fuel tank. Outside air is pulled
into the machine where it is heated. This clean, dry air is blown between the walls
of the combustion chamber to cool the machine. Access to the blower assembly is
protected by a guard fitted on the air inlet.
This machine is intended to provide heat on outdoor construction sites and in other
rugged applications. Do not use this machine indoors.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons on the work site. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
■
Connecting to a power source that has voltage and frequency requirements that
are incompatible with the heater requirements
■
Operating the heater in a manner that is inconsistent with all federal, state and
local codes and regulations
■
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
■
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
■
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
■
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual.
■
Not properly securing the heater during transport
■
Using the handle to lift the machine
