OPERATOR MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND ENTIRE OPERATORS
MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING. THIS PAGE ONLY PROVIDES AN
OVERVIEW OF SAFETY INFORMATION
Personal Safety
The melter operates at elevated temperature which can
cause burns. Operator and anyone working in close
proximity to hot materials must always wear protective clothing.
Required clothing includes :
Gloves with wristlets • Heavy leather boots or shoes • Face Shield
• Long sleeve shirt with sleeves rolled down and cuffs buttoned.
• Long pants with no cuffs.
General Operation Safety:
1) Perform a DOT pre-trip inspection, including but not limited to:
a) Verifying that the hitch, chains, break-away switch and lights are properly connected to
the tow vehicle.
b) Confirm the trailer brakes are properly adjusted and in good repair.
c) Make sure all lights are in working order and reflectors are clean.
d) Properly secure any loose items found or stored on machine
2) Never go under trailer without first stabilizing trailer.
3) Never touch material expelled by melter while still hot.
4) Never leave machine unattended while it is running
5) Keep material door closed at all times except when adding material
6) Load melter from ground level.
7) Do not touch exhaust stacks or mufflers.

Trailer Safety
Operating this machine requires workers to perform work behind the trailer, it is critical to perform
the work safely. Communication between the tow vehicle driver and worker is critical. Worker and
tow vehicle driver must stay in communication, use an audible device or visual signals to
communicate. A worker must never ride on the trailer or position him or herself between the tow
vehicle and trailer when the tow vehicle is running. Tow vehicle driver must always be aware of
workers position.
Only use a tow vehicle that is equipped with an electronic brake control system and has the
appropriate towing capacity. The best means for determining the vehicle's towing capacity is to
read the vehicle owner's manual. The owner's manual will provide detailed instructions and
limitations, usually accompanied by tips for safe towing. If the owner's manual has been
misplaced, most manufacturers provide free downloadable copies on their website. Towing with an
undersized tow vehicle can cause the trailer to tow improperly, potentially causing loss of control.
Overloading can also cause unintended failures to tow vehicle.
The weight of your trailer listed in this manual is for the base model without any additional
accessories or the weight of the sealant. The weight of your trailer will vary, weigh your machine to
determining your Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). Scales are sometimes available to use at state
highway weigh stations, refuse transfer stations and commercial truck stops.
Trailer Stabilizing Procedure
Going under the trailer puts a person at risk of severe injury or
death. Follow procedure below to stabilize trailer before going
under the trailer
Method #1 Hitch to Vehicle.
Park both the tow vehicle and trailer on a flat level surface. Place tow vehicle in park and remove
keys.
Method #2 Unhitched.
Park trailer on a level surface. Place wheel blocks in front of and behind wheels on both sides of
the trailer. Inspect your jack thoroughly for damage or abnormal wear, especially if it was
subjected to abnormal load or shock. [If damaged do not use, replace jack.] Use the jack to
decouple trailer from tow vehicle. After raising the hitch coupler, crib, block, or otherwise secure
the trailer at once.
WARNING
BREATHING DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST EXPOSES YOU TO CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER
REPRODUCTIVE HARM. ALWAYS START AND OPERATE THE ENGINE IN A WELL-
VENTILATED AREA. IF IN AN ENCLOSED AREA, VENT THE EXHAUST TO THE OUTSIDE. DO
NOT MODIFY OR TAMPER WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.DO NOT IDLE THE ENGINE
EXCEPT AS NECESSARY.

Wheels
Wheel Selection
When specifying or replacing your trailer wheels it is important that the wheels, tires, and axles are
properly matched. The following characteristics are extremely important and should be thoroughly
checked when replacement wheels are considered:
1. Bolt Circle. Wheels have many bolt circle variations and some are so close that is could
be possible to attach an inappropriate wheel that does not match the axle hub.
2. Capacity. Wheel load capacity should match tire and trailer max. load ratings.
3. Offset. The relationship of the center line of the tire to the hub face of the axle should
match any replacement. Failure to match offset may result in reducing the carrying capacity of
your axle.
4. Rim Contour. Replacement wheels should be direct replacements to match the rim
contour
Inspection
All the components of your suspension system should be visually inspected for signs of wear,
damage, or loose fasteners at least every 6,000 miles. When replacing or tightening loose fasteners,
consult the torque chart for correct torque values. Worn spring eye bushing or sagging or broken
springs should be replaced.
WARNING Use only rim contours suggested by manufacturer. Failure to use
correct rim contour may cause dramatic separation of tire and wheel
and could cause serious injury or death.
Attempting to modify or repair a wheel can cause unsafe conditions
that may result in an explosion. Air pressure on a weakened or cracked
rim can cause serious injury or death.
Torque Requirements
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on your trailer axle.
Torque wrenches assure the proper amount of torque is being applied to a fastener. Use no other
WARNING Proper and accurate torque must be maintained to prevent wheels
from loosening, studs from cracking and/or breaking or other possible
hazardous breakage resulting in serious injury or death.
Be sure to use only the fasteners matched to the cone angle of your wheel (usually 60° or 90°) The
proper procedure for attaching your wheels is as follows:
1. Start all bolts or nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
2. Tighten bolts or nuts in the following sequence.
3. Tightening fasteners should be done in stages. Follow the recommended sequence, tighten
fasteners per wheel torque requirements diagram (see next page).
4. Wheel nuts/bolts should be torqued before first road use and after each wheel removal. Check
and re-torque after the first 50 miles and again at 100 miles. A periodic check during regular
service is recommended.

LUG TIGHTENING SEQUENCE CHART
TIRES
Prior to mounting tires onto wheels, be sure the rim size and contour are approved by the Tire and Rim
Association Yearbook or the Tire Manufacturers Catalog in the United States and Recreational Vehicle
Running Gear Certification - CSA CAN3 in Canada. Use only Tires, Rims and Wheels complying with
CMVTSS 109 and CVMTSS110; or CMBTSS 119 and CMVTSS 120. In addition, confirm that the tire will
carry the rated load. If the load is not evenly distributed on all tires, use the tire rated for the heaviest wheel
position. The Rubber Manufacturers Association or the tire manufacturers guidelines should be consulted for
mounting procedures. Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life. Tire pressure should
always be what is recommended by the manufacturer for the load. Always check pressure cold before
operation. DO NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation pressure weekly during use to
insure maximum tire and tread life. The following tire wear diagnostic chart will help you pinpoint the causes
and solutions of tire wear problems.
NOTE: Tire wear should be checked frequently because once a wear pattern becomes firmly
established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the underlying cause is corrected.

PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
CENTER WEAR Over-inflation Adjust pressure to particular load per tire catalog.
EDGE WEAR Under-inflation Adjust pressure to particular load per tire catalog.
SIDE WEAR Loss of camber or overloading Make sure load doesn't exceed axle rating. Align
at alignment shop or service center.
TOE WEAR Incorrect toe-in Align at alignment shop or service center.
CUPPING Out-of-balance Checking bearing adjustment and balance tires.
FLAT SPOTS Wheel lockup & tire skidding Avoid sudden stops if possible and adjust brakes.
