1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

Machine

description

The HDR Heater is a direct-fired radiant heater. The machine operates on diesel

fuel. The machine consists of the following components:

 Stainless steel combustion chamber

 Blower

 Single-stage burner

 High-temperature shut-down device

 Fuel tank

 Safety tip switch

Fuel is consumed in a closed combustion chamber. Outside air is pulled into the

machine where it is heated. This clean, dry air is blown between the walls of the

combustion chamber to cool the machine. Access to the blower assembly is

protected by a guard fitted on the air inlet.

Intended use

The HDR Heater is intended to provide heat on outdoor construction sites and in

other rugged applications. Do not use this machine indoors.

This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use described

above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the

machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons on the work site. Machine

damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.

This machine has been designed and built in accordance with the latest global

safety standards. It has been carefully engineered to eliminate hazards as far as

practicable and to increase operator safety through protective guards and labeling.

However, some risks may remain even after protective measures have been taken.

They are called residual risks. On this machine, they may include exposure to:

 exhaust emissions

 hot surfaces such as exhaust vents and fuel heater

 fuel and fuel fumes when refueling

 high voltages and arc flash

To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the

safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.

Optional

accessories

Wacker Neuson offers optional accessories for the machine. These accessories

include the following:

 Remote thermostat
