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.

 

4.  The Machine should be placed on cleared, level ground.

 

The  placement  or  positioning  of  the  machine  on  the  job  site  can  be  very  important.  

The machine should be placed in a manner to give the greatest clearance on the down

-wind side of the pit. The unit should be placed on level ground to facilitate proper posi-

tioning of the manifold alongside the pit.

 

 

5.  The Machine should be placed such that no combustible material is within a 

minimum of 100 foot clearance in any direction. 

The  machine  should  not  be  located  over  combustibles,  such  as  dry  grass,  brush  or 

peat  moss.  In  addition,  hot  embers  will  escape  from  the  pit  and,  depending  on  the 

wind, will land on the ground around the unit. The unit should not be located within 100 

feet of any combustible material.  

 

The waste material to be burned during the day’s operation can be staged within the 

100 foot perimeter to facilitate loading. The operator must monitor the loading pile to 

insure embers do not ignite the loading pile. The combustible materials to be stored for 

burning at a later date must be stored outside the 100 foot perimeter or in accordance 

with the chart below which suggests adjustments for wind speed.

 

    

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.
