How To Burn Fire Down For Shutdown - Air Burners T-400 Operating Manual

HOW TO BURN FIRE DOWN FOR SHUTDOWN

1. All loading should stop about one or two
hours before you intend to put the fire out.
2. As the fire burns down reduce the engine
RPM at about 200 RPM increments down
to a minimum of 1,400 RPM.
3. DO NOT shut off the air flow through the
manifold while the fire flames are still reach-
ing the manifold. Without the air flow it is
possible to reach temperatures high
enough to damage the manifolds.
4. Depending on local ordinances you may
have to put the coals out with water or you
may be able to bury them. Check with your
local Fire Marshall, if you are unsure.
5. When covering the fire with dirt, always have the operator start on the upwind side
and cover the entire area before moving down the pit. This manner of covering will
keep smoke emission to minimum level.
6. Make sure the fire is extinguished before you leave the job site.
7. MAKE SURE THE PIT IS SAFE BY FENCING OFF OR FILLING IT IN BEFORE
YOU LEAVE THE JOB SITE.
DANGER:
THE PIT OR AREA AROUND THE PIT SHOULD BE PROTECTED
AT ALL TIMES, USING A SUITABLE FENCE, BARRIER OR OTHER MEANS, TO
PREVENT PERSONNEL OR ANIMALS FROM FALLING IN.
