WARNING
CALIFORNIA - Proposition 65 Warning
Engine exhaust and some of its constituents and some dust
created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other
reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:-
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks
Cement and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals:
ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

How It Works
The Heat King HK150 unit is designed to heat a propylene glycol water solution
which is then used for ground thawing, concrete curing or space heating. The glycol
solution is pumped out of its storage reservoir and heated in a high capacity heat
exchanger and returned to the reservoir until it reaches a user settable temperature.
The heat exchanger is a coiled pipe with a Diesel red burner. The reservoir is open
to atmosphere.
A eld pump draws the hot solution out of the reservoir and pumps it to the eld loop
for heating the area as required. There are supply and return manifolds on the back
of the unit. Heated solution is then pumped to the supply manifold, through the
hoses and back to the return manifold.The solution is then returned to the reservoir
for reheating. Controls panels hold the electronics and user controls.
HOW THE MACHINE WORKS
16 17

The HK150 is equipped with the following protective
devices to protect the user and the machine:
Emergency stop switch
The emergency stop switch is monitored by the controller inputs. The input is connected to
ground when the switch is pressed. In the event of an e-stop condition the system mode is set to
OFF and all output functions are shut down by the controller.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is designed to protect the burners and burner coils in the even of a pump
failure. The pressure switch is a normally open switch that closes when senses 12PSI from the
pump. If the switch does not sense pressure it wont allow power to go to the burners.
Low Water Cut O󰀨 Switch
The low water cut o󰀨 switch is in place to protect the burners and burner coils as well as the
circulating pumps in the unlikely event of loss of glycol. If the glycol goes down below the switch
level, the switch contacts will close and shut o󰀨 power to the pumps and burners to avoid dam-
age.
High Limit Switch (aquastat)
The high limit switch is in place to be a backup to the other safety devices. It is an analog switch
that is set to 230°F, there is one on each coil. In the event that the burner coil was to heat up
past the user set point the High limit switch cuts the power to the burner to avoid overheating of
the coil.

A. Digital Display:
This system monitors the temperature of the
glycol in the reservoir and entering the circula-
tion manifold. It is shown on the digital display.
B. Return Temperature:
This gage monitors and displays the tempera-
ture of the glycol in the return manifold. It func-
tions only when the eld pump is running.
C. Total Operating Time:
This hour meter displays the total time that
power is provided to the heater loop.
D. Circuit Breaker:
Under normal operation, circuit breaker is de-
pressed. If circuit breaker load is exceeded, it
will trip the breaker and extend.

turned on, the burner start-up sequence starts.
First, the circulation pump light comes on as
the pump starts. Then the burner igniter starts.
When that burner is operating, the burner ame
light comes on.
J. Emergency Stop:
This 2 position push-pull switch controls the
power to the machine. Push the switch in to stop
all machine functions and pull out to provide
power. It is recommended that all controls be
placed in their o󰀨 position before the switch is
pulled out and power restored.
K. Circuit Power:
This light comes on when the power is turned on
and everything is functioning normally. It goes
out when the breaker or interrupter trips or the
power is turned o󰀨.
L. Circulation Pump:
This light comes on when the burner coil cir-
culation pump is on, and the pump is creating
pressure, and goes out when the pump is o󰀨.
M. Burner Flame:
This light comes on when the main burner is on.
The light goes out when the main ame goes

Operating Temperature
Selection
The Heat King is designed with an
electronic programmable tempera-
ture controller. The temperature
controller will measure the tempera-
ture of the reservoir and will then
control the burner to maintain a set
temperature range. The unit comes
with a factory set operating tempera-
ture of 180°F with a 10°F (5.5°C)
temperature drop before the burner
will re again.
The operating temperature can be
set to operate at any temperature
up to 180°F (82°C) by following this
procedure:
a. Press 'SET' for 1 second. The set
value (desired temperature) will
then start ashing after a few mo-
ments.
b. Use the UP and DOWN buttons
on the right of the display to in-
crease or decrease the value.
c. Press 'SET' to conrm the select-
ed temperature press as the new
set point.
*The return temperature is only a
display and does not need to be
set.

To spool the hose onto the reel, turn the selector
switch on the control panel to the hose reel position.
Select “IN” on the hose reel direction switch. Adjust
the belt tension knob by turning clockwise. Depress
the foot switch to begin spooling in the hose. If you
nd the reel is not pulling the hose in and the belt is
slipping, increase the belt tension, with the belt ten-
sioning knob.Once the hose is all spooled in, tighten
the belt tension knob to lock the reel in position for
transport.
Valves:
Many circuits are designed with valves
that control the ow in the circuit.
Move the handle parallel to the line to
open the valve and at right angles to
close the valve. In most cases, a valve
is placed in a line to allow for conveni-
ent isolation and servicing of a system.

Troubleshooting
The Tamarack Construction Heat King is a self-contained glycol heating system that can be used to thaw
frozen ground or maintain a work area at a constant temperature. It is a simple system that requires minimal
maintenance.
In the following trouble shooting section, we have listed many of the problems, causes and solutions to the
problems which you may encounter.
If you encounter a problem that is di󰀩cult to solve, even after having read through this trouble shooting sec-
tion, please contact your authorized dealer, distributor or the factory. Before you call, please have this Opera-
tor’s Manual and the serial number from your machine ready.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Burners won’t start. No fuel. Fill the fuel tank.
No power. Plug machine in and turn on.
Breaker tripped. Reset breaker.
Low glycol. Fill glycol reservoir.
Switch o󰀨. Pull out Emergency Stop switch.
NOTE: For the burners to be able to re, three conditions must be met.
1) The Pressure switch on the circulation loop must see pressure. (gray plastic box on circ pump)
2) The low glycol sensor must sense glycol. (blue box on glycol tank)
3) The aquastat temperature has to allow the call for heat, by being below 230°F. This condition
would be very rare, and should only trip o󰀨 if there is not enough ow through the coil or the burner is burning
too hot. (gray box on coil discharge beside exhaust)
Buners give o󰀨 black smoke. Wrong fuel/air mixture. Reset air mixture.
Fouled burner. Clean burners.
Plugged fuel lter(s). Change lter(s).
Reel won't move. No power. Turn power on.
Reset circuit breaker.
