1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This machine is a hydronic air heater. The Wacker Neuson Hydronic Air Heaters
consist of trailer-mounted enclosures that house a hydronic heater, electric motors,
fixed pump(s) and plumbing, a diesel burner, a fuel tank, and a hose handling
system.
The hydronic heating system utilizes a burner that indirectly warms the HTF. The
warmed HTF is continuously circulated through a vented, closed loop hose system.
A centrifugal pump pushes the warmed HTF through heat exchangers via hoses.
The heat exchangers transfer the heat from the HTF into the air of the application
area. A low HTF level protection device shuts down the machine if the HTF level
drops below minimum operational capacity.
This machine is intended to be used as an air heater. In addition, when used with
other Wacker Neuson accessories, this machine can be used to thaw frozen
ground, cure concrete, or prevent frost and freezing. An insulated blanket may be
laid over the hoses to increase efficiency.
This machine has been designed and built strictly for the intended use(s) described
above. Using the machine for any other purpose could permanently damage the
machine or seriously injure the operator or other persons in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
Using the machine to heat anything other than what is stated above
Using the machine to pump anything other than the factory recommended heat
transfer fluid
Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
Using the machine to carry or transport passengers or equipment
Using the machine to tow other machines
Operating the machine outside of factory specifications
Operating the machine in a manner inconsistent with all warnings found on the
machine and in the Operator’s Manual
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:
Heat, noise, and exhaust from the engine or hydronic heater
Burns from HTF or radiant heat from the hoses
Fire hazards from improper refueling techniques
Fuel and its fumes
Personal injury from improper lifting of the trailer tongue
Tripping hazards from the hoses
To protect yourself and others, make sure you thoroughly read and understand the
safety information presented in this manual before operating the machine.
