Before Starting or Operating this Machine
Understand and observe all the following Warnings, Cautions, and Notes.
WARNINGS
This equipment contains mechanical and heating components that may cause serious injury or death if not
handled or maintained properly. All personnel must be properly trained in the operation and maintenance of
this equipment.
Before refueling, shut off the burners and allow all flames in the burner and pilot light to extinguish. Shut off
the engine.
Check fuel lines, fuel line connections, and all other components for leaks. If any leaks are found, they must
be repaired before using the unit.
Know the temperature required for the material being used, and do not exceed this temperature. Avoid over
heating, as this may cause equipment damage, personal injury, and/or death.
Never load a tank with heated oil when moisture is present in the tank. Depending on the temperature of the
hot oil, the moisture may instantly boil causing hot oil to foam up and out of the tank causing severe burns.
Do not operate the tack tank burner when the amount of material in the tank is less than 4" above the flues.
Allow 10 minutes cool-down time after the burner has been shut off before exposing the flues. Exposed flues
will over-heat and cause an explosion and/or fire.
The tack tank cover must be unlatched when operating the tack tank burner. This is to provide for emergen-
cy venting, in the event of a flash, to prevent the tank from exploding.
CAUTIONS
Know the materials being used and know the proper handling, heating, application, clean-up, and storage
procedures. Not all materials are compatible with each other. Many materials have a very limited shelf life.
Most materials require special handling procedures to prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Contact your material supplier and/or manufacturer for proper handling instructions. Equipment malfunction
or damage due to improper handling or use of the materials is not covered by warranty.
Do not exceed the maximum heating temperature or storage time as recommended by the material manu-
facturer. This may cause emulsion type materials to separate and become difficult or impossible to remove
from the machine. Consult with the material manufacturer for recommendations.
Over-agitation or circulation may cause emulsion type materials to separate and become difficult or impossi-
ble to remove from the machine. Consult with the material manufacturer for recommendations.
Do not mix Anionic and Cationic materials together, as the materials attach to each other and will become
difficult or impossible to remove from the machine. If you are not sure consult your material supplier.
NOTES
Become familiar with the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the material being used in the machine and
take appropriate safety precautions. Wear the proper clothing and protective gear as recommended by the
MSDS and your safety director.
Do not use the equipment unless it is in good condition.
In case of skin contact with hot materials, dip into cool, clean water immediately. Do not wipe the product,
as this will spread the burn.
Consult the MSDS and contact your safety director for proper extinguishing of petroleum based fires.
Carry a fire extinguisher(s) as recommended by your safety director.
Notify your supervisor or the manufacturer if any questions arise concerning the operation of this equipment.
