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.
