5.2 Machine Start Up for Electric Hose
Step
Action
1
Fully open the exhaust stack cover.
2
Start the engine. (Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the engine).
3
Turn the “POWER” toggle switch in the control box to the “ON” position. The red light
marked “BURNER” will illuminate indicating that the material and hot oil temperatures are
below set point. When the red light goes off this indicates the material or oil temperatures
are up to the set point.
NOTE:
Just because this light is illuminated does not indicate the burner is actually
working.
4
Turn “HOSE SELECTOR” switch to “ELECTRIC”.
Note:
Electric hose will only work if hose selector switch is in the electric hose position.
5
Set the heat transfer oil temperature at 500°F (260°C).
6
Set the material temperature to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature.
CAUTION
If the burner does not ignite the first time, turn the “POWER” toggle switch to the “OFF”
position. Turn the toggle switch to “ON” again; the burner should ignite. If the burner still
does not ignite, refer to
8.0.1 Symptoms: Burner will Not Ignite t
o determine the
malfunction.
Important:
The solid material in the tank melts first around the walls, bottom, and around
the center tower of the tank. The material temperature sensor is located by the wall,
therefore, it is possible that at the beginning of the melting process the indicated
temperature reaches operating value, but the material between the center tower and the
outside wall of the tank is still solid. This is normal, and when the heated hose is ready for
operation, most of the material in the tank will be melted and heated to the proper
application temperature.
7
Allow the heat transfer oil to continue to heat.
8
When the material reaches 275°F (135°C), the mixer light will illuminate which indicates
the mixer can be engaged by turning the toggle switch at the control panel to
“FORWARD” position. If the mixer does not move, allow the material to heat longer.
Note:
Mixer speed is preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted. The mixer cannot be
engaged until the material reaches 275°F (135°C).
CAUTION
Jamming the mixer can cause the hydraulic oil to overheat and damage the machine.
9
The hose automatically turns “ON” when the material temperature reaches 275°F
(135°C). The red light marked ‘HEATED HOSE” will illuminate when the hose control is
calling for heat.
10
Adjust the temperature dial to the manufacturer’s recommended temperature.
Note:
The hose reaches operating temperature in approximately 30 minutes.
