100 Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner with HATZ 3H50TIC Diesel Engine
OPERATING MANUAL
4)
NEVER use highly combustible materials to light the unit.
Highly combustible materials such as gasoline, refined spirits, etc. ignite at an
explosive rate which may cause serious injury or death. The safest method to
start the fire in the box is to use materials such
as paper and kindling wood. In
the absence of these materials or when starting materials with a high moisture
content use diesel fuel oil as an acceptable option.
5)
NEVER climb on the unit to view or light the fire.
Use the ladder built into the unit and never go beyond the top step, or use a
step ladder or similar platform located at a safe distance from the unit. Do not
stand along the rails or on top of the S
-
Series unit under any circumstance.
6)
Shut the unit down in an emergency.
Stop loading the unit, stop the air flow by either disengaging
the PTO or by
shutting down the engine. Dump dirt or sand on to the fire. Water should only
be used as a last resort, as it will likely damage the refractory panels.
DANGER:
The above distances serve as a GUIDELINE ONLY! You
MUST ALWAYS observe the down range area regardless of the wind
speed. You must always observe local fire ordinances and directives
from the local fire department or other authorities.
DANGER:
Falling into the fire box will cause serious injury or death
