1.2 Machine Description and Intended Use
This hose handling system is an accessory for either a hydronic surface heater or a
hydronic air heater. The Wacker Neuson Hose Handling System consists of a
frame onto which is mounted a hose reel, an electric motor, and a hose rewind
system. Heat transfer hose (filled with heat transfer fluid) is wound on the hose
reel. During use, the heat transfer hose is unwound from the hose reel and placed
on the ground or concrete. It is connected to the parent hydronic surface/air heater
using quick-connect brass fittings. The parent hydronic surface/air heater heats the
heat transfer fluid, then pumps it through the heat transfer hose. After use, the heat
transfer hose is wound back onto the reel using the hose rewind system. Power to,
and action of, the hose rewind system is controlled by a control panel and a foot
pedal.
This accessory is intended to be used with a hydronic surface/air heater in order to
thaw frozen ground, to cure concrete, or to prevent ground frost and freezing.
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 in the area. Machine
damage caused by misuse is not covered under warranty.
The following are some examples of misuse:
■ Using the machine to transfer anything other than the factory-recommended
heat transfer fluid
■ Using the machine to heat anything other than the ground or concrete
■ Using the machine as a ladder, support, or work surface
■ 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:
■ Crushing hazards from a tipping or falling machine due to lifting the machine
using a forklift with forks that are too short
■ Personal injury from improper lifting
■ 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.
