1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use

Machine

description

The HI Heater is an indirect-fired air heater. Depending on the model, the machine

operates either on diesel fuel (oil) or natural gas / Liquid Propane (LP). The

machine consists of the following components:

■ Stainless steel combustion chamber and heat exchanger

■ Blower

■ Two-stage burner (oil model)

■ High-temperature shut-down device

■ Fuel tank (oil model)

■ Gas selector valve (gas model)

■ High and low voltage control (gas model)

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

(depending on the application) is pulled into the machine where it is heated. This

clean, dry, hot air is then blown by the blower into the space to be heated . Access

to the blower assembly is protected by a guard fitted on the air inlet.

Intended use

The HI Heater is intended to provide heat on outdoor or indoor construction sites (if

properly vented) 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.

Do not use this machine indoors without 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 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 Corporation offers many optional accessories for the machine.

These accessories include the following:

■ Remote thermostat

■ Duct adapters (various sizes, available as kits, or individual ducts at 25 ft.

lengths).

■ Exhaust vents and elbows

Contact your Wacker Neuson dealer for more information.

1.4 Safety Guidelines for Gas-Fired Machines

Proper gas supply must be provided to the inlet of the machine. Refer to the rating

plate for the correct gas supply pressure.

■ Gas pressure above the maximum specified on the rating plate can cause fire or

explosions, leading to serious injury, death, or property loss.

■ Gas pressure below the minimum specified on the rating plate may cause

improper combustion, leading to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Before operating the machine, read and follow all instructions in the Operation

chapter. Important points to note are:

■ Position the machine correctly before each use.

■ Provide proper venting for both indoor and outdoor use.

■ Do not operate the machine with exterior panels removed.

■ Disconnect all electrical power from the machine before opening doors or

removing panels.

■ Check the gas lines and connections for leaks.

WARNING

Gas leaks can cause explosions or fire. Follow the steps below if you smell gas.

► Open windows.

► Do not touch electrical switches.

► Extinguish open flames.

► Immediately call your gas supplier.

WARNING

Risk of explosion, fire, property damage, asphyxiation, death, or carbon monoxide

poisoning.
