Flashing Beacon
The Flashing Beacon is located on the rear of
the Heat King Unit. This beacon providesa visual
indication that the Heater Loop Circuit is in the "ON"
position.
Foot Pedal / Hose Reel:
The hose reel extend-retract function is controlled
by the foot pedal switch. Depress the pedal with
your foot to activate the reel drive and release it to
stop. Set the operating direction with the switch on
the control panel.Guide the hose with your hands
while the reel is turning. Always wear heavy gloves
to prevent burns.
Starting in model year 2015-16
, Heat Kings have
the ability to free wheel out, you no longer need
a person to press the foot pedal to unspool the
hose making it a one person operation. There is still
the option to use the foot pedal to spool out like the
previous models if you wish to.
Unspooling:
To spool out the hose, release the lock
pin as shown in the picture below. Loosen the belt
tension knob to allow the hose reel to free-wheel
out. Start pulling the hose off the reel, if you find that
the reel is free-wheeling too fast, increase the drag
tension by turning the knob clockwise.
Spooling In:
To spool the hose onto the reel, turn
the selector switch on the control panel to the hose
reel position. Select "IN" on the hose reel direction
switch. Adjust the belt tension knob by turning
clockwise. Depress the foot switch to begin spooling
in the hose. If you find the reel is not pulling the
hose in and the belt is slipping, increase the belt
tension, with the belt tensioning knob.
Once the hose is all spooled in, release the lock pin
to lock the reel in position for transport.
