A  suitable  fire  extinguisher  should  always  be  available  and  sited 
close to the operation of the machine. 

 

Canisters should never be changed when the machine is on, or still 
hot enough to cause possible ignition. 

 

Should  a  canister  or  canister  base  fail,  such  that  leakage  occurs 
when  removing  the  canister,  DO  NOT  remove  it.  Re-tighten  the 
canister  and  leave  it  in  the  machine.  (Note:  there  will  always  be  a 
slight  hiss  when  removing  a  canister,  as  the  canister  valve  shuts, 
this is normal.) 
The machine can then be taken to a safe area where the canister can 
be safely removed, or the gas burnt off, whichever is deemed safe to 
do. The failure can then be investigated and corrected. 

 

 

Always be aware of the potential dangers involved in using a flame 
machine of this nature. In every instance of use the user should be 
confident that all possible scenarios involving safety issues are fully 
and confidently covered. 

 
 
 

Regularly test the operation of both solenoid valves. 
Recommended  procedure  is  outlined  below 

–  it  requires  program 

type 2 (PrG2, see page 10). The test should be given the same safety 
precautions as normal operation. 
Load the machine with fuel canisters and arm the unit. Open the firing 
(nozzle)  valve  without  opening  the  safety  (canister)  valve.  If  fire  is 
observed,  the  safety  valve  has  failed  in  open  state.  Close  the  firing 
valve.  Open  the  safety  valve.  If  fire  is  observed,  the  firing  valve  has 
failed in open state. Open the firing valve. Fire should be produced; if 
it is  not,  then  one  of  the  solenoid  has  failed in  a  closed  state.  If  this 
test is failed, the machine should be taken out of service immediately.
