HSS Hire 56144 Troubleshooting guide

Never push the equipment beyond its design limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable ease and
speed, assume you have the wrong heater for the job.
Contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Keep the equipment clean - you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Set the switch to ‘fan only and wait for the unit to
cool down.
Once cool switch the supply OFF and unplug it from
the power supply.
All that remains is to give the unit a final clean up
ready for return, to your local HSS Hire Shop.

EQUIPMENT CARE
FINISHING OFF
The heater has a three position switch, ‘0’ for fan
only, ‘1’ for 9Kw heat output, and ‘2’ for 18Kw heat
output.
Note that when the unit is connected to a power
supply and the supply is switched ON, the fan will
run in all three switch positions. Only when set to No
1 or 2 will heat be emitted
Having double-checked that the heater switch is set to the
‘0’ (fan only position), plug the heater into its power
supply and switch the supply ON.
Model 1…
Start by setting the switch to position ‘1’, this will
activate the fan without heat. Check that the fan is
running BEFORE you move the switch to position ‘2’
(the 6.5Kw heat setting).
If the fan fails to run, DISCONNECT THE UNIT AND
SWITCH THE SUPPLY OFF then contact your local HSS
Hire Shop for advice.
Once you have confirmed that the fan is running move
the switch to position ‘2’, this will give an output of
6.5Kw and may prove to be sufficient for your needs.
If setting ‘2’ proves insufficient, move the switch to
position ‘3’.
Always avoid using more heat than is required and
keep an eye on the room temperature as the heat builds
up.
When you want to switch the unit OFF, turn the
switch to position ‘1’ and leave the unit for at least 5
minutes. In this position, only the fan will run and will
help cool down the heating element before you handle
the unit.
The ‘fan only’ setting can be used if you wish to
circulate air without heating it.
Model 2…
Check that the fan is running BEFORE you move the
switch to position ‘1’ (the 9Kw heat setting).
If the fan fails to run, DISCONNECT THE UNIT AND
SWITCH THE SUPPLY OFF then contact your local HSS
Hire Shop for advice.

the switch to position ‘1’, this will give an output of 9Kw
and may prove to be sufficient for your needs.

BASIC TECHNIQUES

415V 3-Phase power supply. Use either a mains or
generated supply.
You will need a 415V 3-Phase 32A (5 pin) armoured
power lead, available for hire from your local HSS

Extension leads should be fully unwound and loosely
coiled away from the equipment. Never run it through
water, over sharp edges, or where it could trip
someone.
Keep the equipment dry, using electrical equipment
in very damp or wet conditions can be dangerous.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the unit
to a supply, which is protected by an RCD (Residual
Current-Operated Device) contact your local HSS Hire
Shop for advice.
If the equipment fails, or if its power supply cable or
plug gets damaged, return it. Never try to repair it
yourself.
Ensure the heater and the power socket are
switched OFF before plugging into the power
supply.
Set the heater up on a firm level surface. Do not place
the unit close to a wall or other surfaces where the airflow
will be restricted.
For safety reasons you must not direct the heat outlet
close to any vertical surfaces, as the heat generated can
cause certain materials to catch fire.
The heater should not be used in areas where there
is airborne dust, as this too can ignite.
