Prepare Heater
Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of
heater in an explosive atmosphere without
necessary safety precautions will result in serious
injury or death.
If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought
up to temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before
entering the explosive atmosphere for fusion.
Install appropriate heater adapters.
NOTICE: The heater should never be used without heater adapters
installed. Only install heater adapters when the heater is cool.
Refer to the "Machine Setup" section of this manual.
Place heater in insulated heater sling allowing the handle to
remain out of the sling and plug heater into a proper power
source.
Allow heater to warm-up to operating temperature.
NOTICE: Incorrect heating temperature can result in bad fusion
joints. Check heater plate surface temperature periodically with a
properly calibrated pyrometer, and make necessary adjustments.
Refer to the "Maintenance" section of this manual for instructions
on how to adjust heater temperature.
Install Clamping Inserts
Check all inserts for proper size. Assure that the appropriate
clamping inserts are installed for the fitting and pipe to be fused.
Read Before Operating

thoroughly, and keep a copy with the machine for future

The fusion procedures in this manual are for use with polyethylene
pipe. If fusing other thermoplastic pipe materials, refer to the
pipe manufacturer's suggested procedures or appropriate joining
standard.
