First make sure vicinity is free of flammable vapors, dust, gases, or other
potentially combustible materials. Operate only where open flame or torch is
permitted.
Make sure there is fuel in the burner fuel tank.
CAUTION: Do not run the machine in hot mode without fuel in the burner's
fuel tank, or damage can occur.
Always keep at least 1/2 gallon (approximately .75") of fuel in the burner fuel
tank, even when running in cold mode. This will ensure the burner fuel pump
is properly lubricated.
NOTE: Engine must be at full throttle before turning on Heat Switch. If the
throttle is not at full, the engine will not supply adequate air to the burner,
resulting in poor or no combustion.
Turn the heat switch ON and adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature.
(For steam spraying, set the temperature at 212F or higher and use orange
steam nozzle.)
WARNING:
• NEVER attempt to immediately run or re-light the burner if it does
not ignite the first time. Unburned fuel or gas in burner may have
accumulated, causing potential explosion or fire hazard.
• Do not attempt to set temperature limit above the preset limit.
• Never touch hot burner surfaces and stay clear of burner exhaust.
All are extremely hot and will burn you.
