1.2 Operating Safety

Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of

this machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel

can be dangerous. Read the operating instructions contained in both

this manual and the OEM manuals included with this machine.

Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls.

Inexperienced operators should receive instruction from someone

familiar with the machine before being allowed to operate it.

NEVER run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area unless

adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust fans or hoses, is

provided. Exhaust gas from the genset and from the burner contains

carbon monoxide, a deadly poison. Exposure to carbon monoxide

WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

Always use caution when applying power to the machine. Upon

applying power to the machine, the blower may start without warning.

1.2.1 Be sure the machine is on a firm, level surface and will not tip, roll,

slide, or fall while operating.

1.2.2 NEVER start a machine in need of repair.

1.2.3 Keep unauthorized personnel, children, and pets away from the

machine.

1.2.4 Always operate machine with all safety devices and guards in place

and in working order. Do not modify or defeat safety devices. Do not

operate machine if any safety devices or guards are missing or

inoperative.

1.2.5 Do not smoke while operating the machine.

1.2.6 NEVER run the machine in areas that contain flammable objects,

fuels, or products that produce flammable vapors.

1.2.7 NEVER connect ductwork between the exhaust outlet port and the

supply air inlet port.

1.3 Operator Safety while using Combustion Burners

Combustion burners present special hazards during operation and

fueling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the burner owner’s

manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the warnings

and safety guidelines could result in severe injury or death.

NEVER run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area unless

adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust fans or hoses, is

provided. Exhaust gas from the genset and from the burner contains

carbon monoxide, a deadly poison. Exposure to carbon monoxide

WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

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

while the engine is running.

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

1.3.3 Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

1.3.4 DO NOT spill fuel when refueling the machine. Clean up spilled fuel

immediately.

1.3.5 DO NOT smoke when refueling machine.

1.3.6 DO NOT refuel a hot or running machine.

1.3.7 The machine must be installed by qualified personnel who have read

and understand all supplied manuals and instructions.

1.3.8 All connections to natural gas or LP must be performed by qualified

personnel who possess the proper certification or lincensing required

by the locality, state, or province in which the machine is being

installed.

1.4 Service Safety

HIGH VOLTAGE! This unit uses high voltage circuits capable of

causing serious injury or death. Only a qualified electrician should

troubleshoot or repair electrical problems occurring with this

equipment.

1.4.1 All connections to natural gas or LP must be performed by qualified

personnel who possess the proper certification or lincensing required

by the locality, state, or province in which the machine is being

installed.

1.4.2 ALWAYS replace the safety devices and guards after repairs and

maintenance.

1.4.3 Keep the machine clean and labels legible. Replace all missing and

hard-to-read labels. Labels provide important operating instructions

and warn of dangers and hazards.

1.4.4 ALWAYS make sure slings, chains, hooks, ramps, jacks, and other

types of lifting devices are attached securely and have enough weight-

bearing capacity to lift or hold the machine safely. Always remain

aware of the location of other people in the area when lifting the

machine.

1.4.5 ALWAYS replace or repair electrical components with components

that are identical in rating and performance as the original component.

1.4.6 Do not use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to

2 Operation

2.1 System Description

The Cub 400 and Cub 700 heaters are indirect-fired air heaters. The

Cub 400 and 700 have stainless steel fireboxes and heat exchangers.

They run on three fuel options: diesel, natural gas (NG), or LP. The fuel

is consumed in a closed combustion chamber. The exhaust gases are

vented outdoors through a vent pipe. The clean, dry hot air is blown or

ciculated in the space by a centrifugal blower. The blower assembly is

protected by a guard fitted on the air inlet.

Cub 400 and Cub 700 heaters are meant to heat air on construction

sites and in other rugged applications. Do not use the Cub 400 or Cub

700 for any other purpose.

• VENTILATE—power to blower only.

• OFF—power to burner is off; power remains to blower until thermo-

stat reads 104°F (40°C) or lower.

• HEAT—power to burner and blower. The blower starts immediately

when the switch is in this position.

2.6 Preliminary Checks

Before starting the Cub 400 or Cub 700, check the following:

• Fuel supply on diesel burning machines. See Fuel Blending

Guide.

• Position of operation mode switch. It must be in the OFF (“0”)

position.

• Power supply.Each machine must be connected to two (2) sepa-

rate power supplies adhering to specific requirements. Please

see the Technical Data tables in this manual for the specific

power requirements.

Note: On diesel burning machines, the fuel heater will begin

heating the fuel as soon as power is connected to the machine.

• Thermostat plug/remote thermostat connection. Either the ther-

mostat plug or the remote thermostat cable must be connected in

order for the machine to operate.

2.7 Starting the Machine

2.7.1 If using the remote thermostat, place it in the area to be heated. Set it

to the desired temperature.

2.7.2 Turn the operation mode switch to

the HEAT position.

The blower will start immediately.

The burner will start. It will go through

a prepurge cycle and then light.

The burner will continue to fire until

the temperature of the space being

heated reaches the temperature set by the thermostat. At that time, the

burner shuts down but the blower will remain on.

Cub 400/700 Operation

wcghi_tx000683gb.fm 19

2.8 Preheating the Fuel Filter

In temperatures below 32°F (0°C), it may be necessary to preheat the

fuel inside the fuel filter canister. The fuel filter and nozzle contain low-

wattage heating elements that are controlled by a thermostat and are

specifically designed for this purpose.

Hot surface hazard.

The external surface of the fuel filter may be hot.

• Wear safety gloves when handling the fuel filter.

Note: Excess heating may increase the need for maintenance. See

sections “Replacing the Fuel Filter” and “Replacing the Burner Nozzle”.

To preheat the fuel, carry out the following procedure.

2.8.1 Connect power to the machine. See section Connecting Power to the

Machine.

2.8.2 Wait 20-30 minutes—longer for colder temperatures.

2.8.3 Start the machine. See section Starting the Machine.

Note: In extreme wind, the machine may need to be temporarily

blocked from the wind in order to start.

2.8.4 If the burner does not start on the first attempt, allow the power-on

sequence to cycle again (see 3.10.3).

2.8.5 If, after the second power-on sequence completes, the machine will

not fire, move the power switch to the off position.

2.8.6 Wait another 20-30 minutes and attempt to start the machine again.

CAUTION

Operation Cub 400/700

20 wcghi_tx000683gb.fm

2.9 Shutting Down the Machine

2.9.1 Turn the operation mode switch to

the OFF (“0”) position.

The burner will shut down.

As soon as the air temperature

decreases to below approximately

104°F (40°C), the blower will stop.

Electric shock and cutting injury hazard! At temperatures above 104°F

(40°C), electric power is available at the supply blower even with the

operation mode switch in the OFF position. Always remove all power

to the machine before servicing it.

2.9.2 Once the blower has shut off automatically, disconnect the power

supply cord.

NOTICE: Do not disconnect the power supply cord until the blower has

cooled the heat exchanger and has shut off automatically.

2.9.3 Disconnect the remote thermostat and re-install the thermostat plug.

2.9.4 When using NG or LP gas, have a qualified and licensed technician

disconnect the gas supply.
