OPERATING MANUAL

Personal Safety
Operators need to be aware of the following potential hazards:
A) Flying, hot embers
being released from the fire. Operators or anyone with-
in the 100 foot radius of the fire should wear appropriate fire resistant clothing.
The ideal outwear for an operator would include a Nomex jacket, leather gloves,
eye protection, hard hat, cotton work jeans and steel toe boots. Operators
should never wear synthetic material (i.e. polyester) around the fire as this type
of material can melt and cause injury. Additionally, some synthetic materials will
support combustion and could be very dangerous around fire. One hundred per-
cent cotton materials would be the minimum, cotton treated with a fire retardant
would be better and fire proof materials like Nomex would be best.
B) Noise: ear protection is recommended around the machines.
It is a
good practice to wear approved ear protection when working in close proximity
to the fan and engine.
C) Hot Panels:
The backs of the thermo
-
ceramic panels and parts of the
steel structure can reach temperatures as high as 500ºF. Caution should be tak-
en to insure operator and visitors do not come in contact with these hot areas.
D) Ash and dust
can be released during the operation and during cleaning.
Operators should wear appropriate breathing masks to protect themselves from
inhaling the dust and ash.
DANGER:
You must insure debris does not build up on the equipment
front deck. It must be keep clean at all times during operation to prevent a
fire that would damage or destroy the engine and accessories.
