WARNINGS
SAFETY
The instructions provided for the operation and maintenance
of the heater MUST be observed. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the heater and serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not try to do repairs or any other maintenance work
you do not understand. Obtain a service manual from
Fulton Ltd or call a Fulton service engineer.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all parts
supplied with the boiler are tted in a correct and safe
manner.
Understand the electrical circuit before connecting
or disconnecting an electrical component. A wrong
connection can cause injury and or damage.
A defective heater can injure you or others. Do not
operate
a heater which is defective or has missing parts. Make
sure that all maintenance procedures are completed
before using the heater.
LIFTING EQUIPMENT
Make sure that lifting equipment complies with all local
regulations and is suitable for the job. You can be injured
if you use faulty lifting equipment. Make sure the lifting
equipment is in good condition.
Operating the heater beyond its design limits can
damage the heater, it can also be dangerous.
Do not operate the boiler outside its limits.
Do not try to upgrade the heater performance by
unapproved modications.
Non-approved modications can cause injury and
damage. Contact your Fulton dealer before modifying
the boiler.
Only qualied persons should be allowed to operate and
maintain the heater and its equipment.
DANGER FROM HOT SURFACES
Thermal Fluid Heaters have high temperature surfaces,
that if touched may cause serious burns. Only competent
and qualied personnel should work on or in the locality
of a thermal uid heater and ancillary equipment. Always
ensure the working area and oor are clear of potential
hazards, work slowly and methodically.
Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable vapours
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliances.
Note: Max. room temperature not to exceed 38 °C.
Note: In no case should any part of the drive side of the
pump be insulated.
Note: Max. operating temperature for air cooled pumps
varies by manufacturer. Consult instruction manual to
verify.
Note: If the tank is located outdoors nitrogen is required.
High temperature thermal uid, steam and combustible
vapours may be vented through the DA vent connection.
CAUTION
Obey all laws and local regulations which affect you and
your heater.
During operation, any leaks are usually detected by a
small amount of vapour. Leaks should be attended to as
soon as possible because under certain circumstances,
such as saturated insulation, thermal uid can ignite
when exposed to air and heat.
Note: Fulton Ltd cannot be held responsible in the
case of accident or damage resulting from the use of
inadequate uid.
Note: Unless specially ltered, compressed air will
introduce moisture into the system. Dry air or Nitrogen is
recommended.
Note: Some plastics can be dissolved by thermal uid.
Note: Do not use system circulating pump for system
lling. A pump that has been used for water or for
a different thermal uid should not be used prior to
extensive cleaning. Thermal uid can be damaged by
contact with moisture or other uids.
Use extreme caution opening plug when system
temperature is elevated.
Wear eye and hand protection.
Back the plug out slowly to the last two or three threads.
Allow any pressure under the plug to bleed slowly to
prevent a spray of hot oil.
Note: Flash steam may be generated at any point up to
the operating temperature. Watch for gauge uctuations.
Note: All of the above maintenance procedures should
be completed by trained personnel. Appropriate training
and instructions are available from the Fulton Service
Department.
WARNING
Once the system has been lled, any modication to the
tank or connected piping requires purging of the work
area to prevent ignition of potentially ammable vapours.
Consult factory prior to beginning work. Consult the
MSDS (material data safety sheet) for your thermal uid
for ammability limits.
Note: Unless the system is pressurised, the inlet to
the deaerator section of the combination tank must be
higher than or equal to the highest point in the system
to prevent pockets of air from collecting in the system
piping.
Pressurising a drum to force uid into the system is not
recommended. The drum can easily explode, creating a
hazard to personnel and equipment.
Note: Tanks are non-code as a standard. Non-code
tanks cannot be pressurised over 0.5 barg. Tanks built to
BS EN13445:2009 are available upon request.
Note: Do not run the pump before lling it with uid.
