1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
The HI900 Heaters are indirect-fired air heaters available in oil (diesel) burner and
natural gas or liquid propane (LP) burning models. The machine consists of the
following components:
Combustion chamber and heat exchanger
Centrifugal blower
Single-stage burner
High-temperature shut-down switch(es)
Fuel tank on diesel burning models
Trailer on mobile units
Generator on mobile units
Fuel is consumed in a closed combustion chamber. Room air or outside air
(depending on the application) is pulled in by the centrifugal blower and blown over
the hot heat exchanger. This clean, dry, hot air is then blown into the space to be
heated by the centrifugal blower. Access to the blower assembly is protected by a
guard fitted on the air inlet.
The HI900 Heaters are intended to provide heat on outdoor sites (trailer and skid)
or indoor (skid only) sites 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.
If your machine includes a generator, do not operate it indoors.
If your machine does not include a generator, it may be operated indoors, but
only when it has
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
fuel and fuel fumes when refueling
high voltages and arc flash
To protect yourself and others, thoroughly read and understand the safety
information presented in this manual before operating the machine.
Wacker Neuson offers many optional accessories for the machine. These
accessories include the following:
Remote thermostat
Duct adapters (various sizes, available as kits, or individual ducts).
Covers for inlet and outlets (need to be removed before operation)
Exhaust vents and elbows
Burner conversion kits
