OPERATING MANUAL
PRINCIPLE OF AIR CURTAIN INCINERATION
OPERATION
Air curtain burners are designed primarily as a pollution control device. Using a diesel engine driven
fan, these machines generate a curtain of air with a very particular mass flow and velocity. This cur-
tain of air acts as a trap over the top of an earthen trench or thermal ceramic lined firebox. The wood
debris is dumped into the trench or firebox and then ignited (usually with a propane torch and with a
small amount of diesel) just as you would light any other pile of wood you intended to burn. Once the
fire has gained strength, the air curtain is turned on.
The air curtain traps most of the smoke particles and causes them to re-burn under the air curtain
where the temperatures exceed 1,800º F. These machines do not inject any fuels into the fire, the
fire is sustained only by adding more wood debris. The air from the air curtain is not heated. The on-
ly fuel used in the continuous operation is that of the diesel engine driven fan.

OPERATING MANUAL
All of this is carefully engineered to provide the correct amount of air at the correct
velocity. It is sometimes thought that more air flow will actually increase the burn
rate. This is INCORRECT. Modifying the air flow will actually have the opposite
effect and reduce the machine’s throughput. Additionally, it will reduce the ma-
chine’s ability to meet air quality minimum standards. There is a maximum rate at
which wood can burn. Trying to exceed that rate by adding more air to an air cur-
tain burner causes two major problems:
1. It will cool the fire reducing combustion efficiency creating more smoke (carbon
dioxide and nitrogen enriched). This will begin a circular effect of further reduc-
ing the oxygen and further reducing combustion efficiency. The result is that
your throughput drops and smoke increases.
2. Increasing the air flow beyond design standards will over pressurize the firebox
causing significantly more particles (embers) to be ejected from the firebox.
Besides violating the EPA limits for PM (particulate matter) the larger hotter
embers ejected will pose a much greater fire hazard.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TrackBoss
The TrackBoss is a proven design that adds self-propelled mobility at the workplace to the Air Burn-
ers FireBox line of above ground air curtain burners. When delivered to a job site, the machine is
ready for use as soon as it is off-loaded. The FireBox system is built on a patented frame that allows
the firebox to be raised and lowered for easy movement over the ground. The forward equipment
deck under the cowling supports a three cylinder Diesel engine, controls, the battery and the hy-
draulically-driven air fan. A 30 gallon fuel tank is mounted in a compartment above the tracks on the
manifold side. The tracks are controlled remotely by a portable remote control console. When
viewed from the front of the unit, the patented air disbursement manifold is mounted on the left top
side of the firebox.
The Diesel engine powers a hydraulic pump that serves the air fan, firebox lift system and the
tracks. The high velocity air is sent down the manifold through the vanes and directed to the outlet
nozzles. A balanced and distributed air flow is directed across the top of the firebox and then reflect-
ed down into the combustion zone.
The curtain of air acts as a top over the firebox, trapping a large percentage of the escaping particu-
late matter (smoke) and causing it to burn down even further under the curtain before finally escap-
ing through the curtain as a hot gas. The air from the nozzles travels across the firebox creating the
air curtain effect, then it reflects off the far side thermo-ceramic wall adding oxygen to the combus-
tion zone helping to generate a hotter more complete fire. This additional agitation helps prevent the
fire from starving for oxygen as the ash builds up during burning operations.

OPERATING MANUAL
READ ALL SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN BURNING OPERATIONS
The TrackBoss operator is dealing with fire on a daily basis; it is very important that each and every
individual involved with the machine be alert and practice very rigid safety precautions.
When you are running the TrackBoss you are responsible for ensuring that it is operated in the saf-
est possible manner at all times. If you notice something wrong, correct it immediately, and if you
cannot correct it, find someone who can and/or shut down the machine.
Basic Safety Points:
1. The TrackBoss must be driven onto cleared, level ground.
The TrackBoss should be driven onto level ground to facilitate loading, dumping and moving of
the unit. When lowered, the firebox must touch the ground on all four sides or smoke and em-
bers will escape.
2. The unit should be positioned such that no combustible material is stored within a mini-
mum 100 ft. clearance in any direction.
The firebox of the TrackBoss does not have a bottom and should not be located over combusti-
bles such as dry grass or peat moss. In addition hot embers will escape from the unit and, de-
pending on the wind, will land on the ground around the unit. The machine should not be located
within 100 ft. of any stored combustible materials. The waste material to be burned during the
day’s operation can be staged within the 100 ft. perimeter to facilitate loading. The operator must
monitor the loading pile to ensure embers do not ignite the loading pile. The combustible materi-
als to be stored for burning at a later date must be stored outside the 100 ft. perimeter or in ac-
cordance with the chart on Page 6 of this manual which suggests adjustments for wind speed.
3. The unit should not be operated when the wind speeds reach 20 MPH, as the potential to
carry hot embers is significantly increased.
As an operator you should always be aware of wind speed and direction. Increased wind speed
will affect the integrity of the “air curtain” and will cause hot embers to travel farther. See the
wind speed chart regarding suggested set-back on Page 10.
Warning:
When operating the TrackBoss by Remote Control Console, the supplied console neck
strap should be securely used by the operator. Accidently dropping the console could
lead to erratic operational behavior of the TrackBoss which could be dangerous and
cause injury.
To protect the track systems, never raise the firebox if there is a hot fire inside. Wait until
the fire burnt down to a hot ash bed then swiftly drive the TrackBoss forwards leaving the
ashes behind. Follow all operating and safety instructions in this manual.

BASIC SAFETY POINTS

(Vers. 05.02.2023)
Page 10 of 38
TrackBoss T28 Air Curtain Burner (HATZ 3H50TIC Diesel Engine)
OPERATING MANUAL
4. NEVER use highly combustible materials to light the wood waste.
Highly combustible materials such as gasoline, refined spirits, etc. ignite at an explosive rate
which may cause serious injury or death. The safest method to start the fire in the firebox is to
use materials such as kindling wood. In the absence of these materials or when starting materi-
als with a high moisture content, use diesel fuel as an acceptable option.
5. NEVER climb onto the TrackBoss or lean over to view or light the fire. Always load and
operate the machine from the MANIFOLD side.
Hot embers will escape at a low height opposite the manifold. The left side of the machine
(opposite the manifold) must be restricted access to prevent injury to persons.
6. Shut the TrackBoss down in an emergency.
Stop loading the unit, stop the air flow by shutting down the engine. Dump dirt or sand onto the
fire. Water should only be used as a last resort as it will likely damage the refractory panels.

DANGER: The above distances serve as a GUIDELINE ONLY! You MUST ALWAYS
observe the down range area regardless of the wind speed. You must always observe
local fire ordinances and directives from the local fire department or other competent au-
thorities.
DANGER: Falling into the TrackBoss will cause serious injury or death. DO NOT
stand within 20 feet of the TrackBoss on the side opposite the manifold.

OPERATING MANUAL
DANGER: You must ensure combustible debris does not build up on the TrackBoss.
It must be keep clean at all times during operation to prevent a fire that would damage or
destroy the engine and accessories.
7. Personal Safety
Operators need to be aware of the following potential hazards:
Flying hot embers being released from the fire. Operators or anyone within the 100 foot radius of
the fire should wear appropriate fire resistant clothing. The ideal outerwear for an operator would in-
clude a Nomex jacket, leather gloves, eye protection, hard hat, cotton work jeans and steel toe
boots. Operators should never wear synthetic material (i.e., polyester) around the fire as this type of
material can melt and cause injury. Additionally, some synthetic materials will support combustion
and could be very dangerous around fire. One hundred percent cotton materials would be the mini-
mum, cotton treated with a fire retardant would be better and fire proof materials like Nomex would
be best.
a. Noise: Ear protection is recommended around the TrackBoss. It is a good practice to
wear approved ear protection when working in close proximity to the fan and engine.
b. Hot Panels: The backs of the thermo-ceramic panels and parts of the steel structure can each
temperatures as high as 500ºF. Caution should be taken to ensure operator and visitors do not
come in contact with these hot areas.
c. Ash and dust can be released during the operation and during cleaning. Operators should
wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like breathing masks or respirators to
protect themselves from inhaling the dust and ash.

A. PRE-OPERATION CHECKS:
Air filter for cleanliness (VERY IMPORTANT)
1. Engine oil and hydraulic oil levels
2. Engine coolant level and antifreeze rating
3. Diesel fuel level (Check fuel gauge on digital display), Fuel tank must be 100% full if contemplat-
ed path includes ascending or descending a hill or slope.
4. Battery cable connections
5. Check warning strobe light
6. Check hydraulic lines
7. Check status of batteries in remote control console. Charge if needed.
8. The joysticks of the remote control were properly calibrated for first use at the factory. If recali-
bration is needed, refer to Appendix A for calibration instructions.
9. Ensure anticipated travel path of T28 is of suitable terrain for weight of machine and clear of all
obstacles
10.Warn all persons/bystanders of planned movement of T28 and instruct them to stand clear of the
machine. Consider that an inexperienced operator could inadvertently abruptly and unexpectant-
ly change the travel path of the machine which may cause injury or death to bystanders in un-
safe proximity of the TrackBoss. Never stand or sit on any part of the TrackBoss while moving it.
Remote Control Console Battery and Charger
The remote control console has a battery compartment at
the bottom which accepts one of the two supplied batteries
at a time. A battery charger is permanently installed in the
“tool compartment” of the TrackBoss and permanently
wired into the onboard 12V DC system where one battery at
a time can be charged. The charging circuitry provides for
overcharging protection.
The charge level is displayed on the LED panel of the re-
mote control console.
Ensure the electronics compartment is kept dry and free of
water from rain, snow or washdowns.
Emergency Hardwire Remote Controls
Should the radio link fail, use the provided custom cable to
hardwire the remote console to the onboard transceiver.

The transmitter has FCC Certification ONFC1602A. Referring to the image below, the remote con-
trol console has a number of switches and button on the topside and also on the left and right sides.
The four round metallic looking Side Buttons (not visible below) are SB 1, 2, 3 and 4 (corresponding
to F numbers on the top of the console) are used for joystick calibration only (see Appendix A). The
round red button on the lower right side is the Emergency Stop Button (E-STOP). Pushed-in =
OFF and pulled out by rotating = ON. It is shown on the panel as Start TX and is also used for rou-
tine console shutdowns.
The two joysticks controlling the track to move forward and reverse. The switches either Latch,
meaning they can be placed in two or three positions, or they are Momentary, meaning they are
pushed as needed then return to the previous state. The Green Dot indicates ON, the Red Dot OFF
and the White Line Neutral.
The control for lowering and raising the firebox (burn chamber) is the center top (momentary)
switch. It has an indicator UP (Switch to TOP) or DOWN (Switch flipped down). This switch will re-
turn to the center (neutral) position. The bottom center left switch turns the headlights on and off.
The tracks are locked out unless the firebox is secured in the UP position to prevent driving the
TrackBoss with the firebox to the ground, as this would result in serious damage.
The LCD Display shows operational conditions such as radio link established, battery charge level,
lock-pin engagement, and hydraulic fluid level warnings.
