Safety Considerations - Air Burners BurnBoss T22 Operating Manual

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

The machine operator is dealing with fire on a daily basis; it is very important that each
and every individual involved with the machine be alert and practice very rigid safety
precautions.
When you are running the unit, you are responsible for assuring that it is operated in
the safest possible manner at all times. If you notice something wrong, correct it imme-
diately, and if you cannot correct it, find someone who can and/or shut down the ma-
chine.
Basic Safety Points:
1) The unit must be placed on
The unit should be placed on level ground to facilitate loading, dumping and
moving of the unit. The FireBox must touch the ground on all four sides or
smoke and embers will escape.
2) The unit should be placed such that no combustible material is stored
within a minimum 100 foot clearance in any direction.
The S-Series units do not have a bottom and should not be located over com-
bustibles such as dry grass or peat moss. In addition hot embers will escape
from the unit and, depending on the wind, will land on the ground around the
unit. The unit should not be located within 100 feet of any stored combustible
materials. The waste material to be burned during the day's operation can be
staged within the 100 foot perimeter to facilitate loading. The operator must
monitor the loading pile to insure embers do not ignite the loading pile. The
combustible materials to be stored for burning at a later date must be stored
outside the 100 foot perimeter or in accordance with the chart on page 6 of this
manual which suggests adjustments for wind speed.
3) The unit should not be operated when the wind speeds reach 20 MPH, as
the potential to carry hot embers is significantly increased.
As an operator you should always be aware of wind speed and direction. In-
creased wind speed will affect the integrity of the "air curtain" and will cause hot
embers to travel farther. See the wind speed chart regarding suggested set-
back on page 6.
