T300 Air Curtain Trench Burner with HATZ 4H50 Diesel Engine & Fluid Coupling
OPERATING MANUAL
The Air Curtain Burner operator is dealing with fire on a daily basis; it is very important that each
and every individual involved with the machine be aware of and practice very rigid safety precau-
tions.
When you are running the machine, you are responsible for assuring that it is operated in the safest
possible manner at all times. During the burning operations there may not be any signs of smoke
from the trench, but small hot embers will always be coming out. These embers rise up on the hot
gases from the fire. Operators must be aware of the area around the unit to insure “spot fires” do not
ignite. If you notice something wrong, correct it immediately, and if you cannot correct it, find some-
one who can and/or shut down the machine.
The T300 is very safe as long as it is used and operated in the manner for which it was designed;
however, it will be no safer than an open fire burning above ground when it is not being used and
operated properly.
Basic Safety Points:
1. Personnel should not enter the pit while building it.
There is always the danger of the pit collapsing. Personnel must not enter the pit. The pit should
be secured and marked to prevent anyone from falling in.
2. Once the pit is in use the area should be restricted.
The area around the pit should be controlled by the trained operators. If the pit is to be re-used
the next day, then a security guard and secure fencing should be used around the pit to insure
no animals or persons will fall in. If the pit is not to be reused then the fire should be extinguished
and the pit filled in with dirt. The operators must monitor the activities around the pit at all times.
3. The Machine must only be operated with the cowling closed and secured.
The top cowling provides a guard for the drive belts and fan inlet. There is a risk of serious injury,
if the machine is run with the cowling open.
