1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

The HI900 Heaters are indirect-fired air heaters available in oil (diesel) burner and

natural gas or liquid propane (LP) burning models. The machine consists of the

following components:

 Combustion chamber and heat exchanger

 Centrifugal blower

 Single-stage burner

 High-temperature shut-down switch(es)

 Fuel tank on diesel burning models

 Trailer on mobile units

 Generator on mobile units

Fuel is consumed in a closed combustion chamber. Room air or outside air

(depending on the application) is pulled in by the centrifugal blower and blown over

the hot heat exchanger. This clean, dry, hot air is then blown into the space to be

heated by the centrifugal blower. Access to the blower assembly is protected by a

guard fitted on the air inlet.

The HI900 Heaters are intended to provide heat on outdoor sites (trailer and skid)

or indoor (skid only) sites and in other rugged applications.

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.

 If your machine includes a generator, do not operate it indoors.

 If your machine does not include a generator, it may be operated indoors, but

only when it has

proper exhaust venting designed for indoor use, which meets all

applicable regulations.

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

 fuel and fuel fumes when refueling

 high voltages and arc flash

To protect yourself and others, thoroughly read and understand the safety

information presented in this manual before operating the machine.

Wacker Neuson offers many optional accessories for the machine. These

accessories include the following:

 Remote thermostat

 Duct adapters (various sizes, available as kits, or individual ducts).

 Covers for inlet and outlets (need to be removed before operation)

 Exhaust vents and elbows

 Burner conversion kits

HI 900 Safety Information

delivered with the machine.

 Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls and safety

devices.

 Contact Wacker Neuson for additional training if necessary.

When operating this machine:

 Do not allow improperly trained people to operate the machine. People

operating the machine must be familiar with the potential risks and hazards

associated with it.

Machine

condition

Only operate the machine when:

 The heat exchanger is in proper working order.

 All safety devices and guards are in place and in working order.

 All controls operate correctly.

 The machine is set up correctly according to the instructions in the Operator’s

Manual.

 The machine is clean.

 The machine’s labels are legible.

When operating the machine:

 Do not modify or defeat the safety devices.

 Do not use worn electrical cords.

 Do not use faulty fuel supplies.

Heat

exchanger

inspection

The heat exchanger must be inspected twice a year to ensure it is in good working

order. Shorter inspection intervals are recommended for units operating under

extreme transportation or operating conditions.

Guidelines for

operator

When operating the machine:

 Remain aware of the machine’s moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and loose

clothing away from the machine’s moving parts.

 Wear protective clothing appropriate to the job site when operating the machine.

 Wear safety glasses.

When operating the machine:

 Do not operate a machine in need of repair.

 Do not smoke near the machine.

 Do not block the air inlet or outlet during machine operation.

Personal

Protective

Equipment

(PPE)

Wear the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while operating this

machine:

 Close-fitting work clothes that do not hinder movement

Safety Information HI 900

16 wc_si000827gb.fm

 Safety glasses with side shields

 Hearing protection

 Safety-toed footwear

Work space

When operating the machine:

 Position the machine on a firm, noncombustible, level surface.

 Install the machine away from direct contact with rain, spraying and/or dripping

water.

 Keep the area immediately surrounding and underneath the machine clean,

neat, and free of debris and combustible materials.

 Keep the area above the machine clear of debris that could fall on the machine.

 Store the machine properly when it is not being used.

 Keep unauthorized personnel, children, and pets away from the machine.

When operating the machine:

 Do not connect ductwork between the exhaust outlet port and the supply air inlet

port.

 Never operate the machine in areas that contain flammable objects, fuels, or

products that produce flammable vapors.

 Do not position the electrical cords under the machine or over the top of the

machine.

DANGER

Exhaust gas from the burner contains carbon monoxide, a deadly poison. Exposure

to carbon monoxide can kill you in minutes.

f Never run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area unless the machine is

vented properly.

f If your machine has a trailer or generator, do not run the machine indoors.

HI 900 Safety Information

wc_si000827gb.fm 17

1.4 Safety Guidelines for Operating Combustion Burners

When using the machine:

 Make sure you have proper certification or licensing required by the locality,

state, or province in which the machine is being installed to connect natural gas

or LP.

 Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.

 Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling the machine.

 Refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

 Always keep the oil supply valve shut off if the burner is shut down for an

extended period of time.

When using the machine:

 Do not fill or drain the fuel tank near an open flame, while smoking, or while the

machine is running.

 Do not smoke when refueling the machine.

 Do not smoke when connecting natural gas or LP.

 Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has accumulated, when the

unit is full of vapors, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.

Note: Some machines may not be capable of supporting natural gas or LP. Please

see the burner manufacturer’s literature for more information.

DANGER

Carbon monoxide. Using this machine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a deadly poison you cannot

see or smell. If you can smell the exhaust, you are breathing CO. Even if you

cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

f NEVER operate the machine inside an enclosed area, such as a home, tunnel,

or garage unless it is vented properly.

f ONLY use the machine outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents.

These openings can pull in exhaust gas.

f ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup CO alarm in nearby struc-

tures. Even when you use the machine correctly, CO may leak into nearby

structures.

f If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the machine has been running, move

to fresh air IMMEDIATELY. See a doctor. You could have carbon monoxide

poisoning.

WARNING

Fire and explosion hazard. Cold fuel may gel, fail to ignite, and accumulate in the

heat exchanger. This accumulated fuel may explode during burner ignition.

f Always preheat the fuel before switching power to the burner.

Safety Information HI 900

1.6 Safety Guidelines for Operating Gensets

This machine is built with user safety in mind; however, like any electrical device it

can present serious hazards if improperly operated and serviced. Follow

instructions carefully. Should questions arise during operation or service of this

equipment, contact your Wacker Neuson dealer.

General

precautions

 Keep a multi-class, type ABC or equivalent fire extinguisher at hand when using

the genset. Refer to NFPA No. 10 for further information regarding fire

extinguishers.

 Do not use evaporative starting fluids. They are highly explosive.

 Do not store items such as excess oil, oil rags, or tools within the genset

compartment. Items stored within the genset compartment are a fire hazard and

can restrict cooling air.

Before

operating the

genset
