2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
–
• Read this manual completely and the instructions before implementation and use of
the equipment.
• Never use PYROS 3 tray without water.
• Regularly check the reinforced gas supply hose.
• The device only works with Propane gas.
• Use PYROS 3 only outdoors and away from flammable items.
•Respect the safety distance tray / gas cylinder. It is given by the length of the 6 m gas
supply hose.
• Never use PYROS 3 beyond a pressure of 3 bar.
• Wear gloves for use and handling PYROS 3 elements to avoid any incident.
(cutting, burning ...)
• The trainer must permanently keep in hand the remote to control the fire.
• Never keep down the remote control button if no flame. This will remove the risk of spread
of non-ignited gas and its sudden inflammation outside fire tray.
• Any operation or attempt to disassemble, excluding consumable items such as the battery
or fuse, will void the manufacturer warranty.
• PYROS 3 operates only with gas in gaseous phase.
It is forbidden to feed your flame generator with propane in liquid form, especially with
carburetion bottles.
For good supply of the tray, the gas cylinders must be positioned upright. Never lie on the
side the gas cylinders. The PYROS 3 would work with gas in liquid phase and would be
irreparably damaged.
• Take care not to introduce sand or gravel in the gas supply hose or fittings of the unit. This
could damage the internal valve.
• The battery can be discharged to a minimum limit of 10 volts. Below this voltage, it will not
charge correctly anymore.
• Always replace defective parts with original parts supplied by LEADER.
• Keep the unit away from children.
• Do not use PYROS 3 in windy weather.
• Activate the emergency stop button before handling the tray (installation or removal of such
accessories)
• Do not smoke while handling the PYROS 3
REMINDER:
• Do not store propane gas cylinders inside a room. Provide an external storage.
• Training equipment using explosive fuels are intended for use by experienced
professionals. LEADER declines all responsibility for accidents or damage involving people
or property.

IMPORTANT:
Always keep your eyes on the fire tray and the people around it, when you
manoeuvre the remote control.
Always keep the remote control in hand and stay close to the control desk
ready to activate the "emergency stop button" in case of problem.
If the trainer is away from the control desk, a person must be designated to stay close
to the desk, ready to pull the "emergency stop button" in case of problem.
5.2 Use of extinguishing agents
You can work on PYROS 3 with any extinguishing agent.
Beware of the use of foam concentrates: it traps the gas, which could ignite further
outside of the tray.
When the trainee has extinguished the fire, release the button on the remote.
When using a fire extinguisher or Co², it is possible that a trainee "blows" the flames.
Then release the button on the remote. The trainee will have the impression of having
extinguished the fire.
To avoid the risk of spread of non-ignited gas and its sudden inflammation
outside the tray, never hold down the button on the remote if no flame.
5.3 Instructions for use
Wait a few seconds before relighting the fire after an intervention so that the ignition system is
no longer saturated with gas.
Never use PYROS 3 without water.
Think regularly to top up the level of water during training courses.

6 AUTONOMY AND POWER
For information, the autonomy of PYROS 3 is about 58 min using industrial gas cylinder without
flow limiter.
However, the power and autonomy of PYROS 3 depend on the gas cylinders flow.
The flow of a gas cylinder varies according to two factors:
1. Ambient temperature: The higher it is, the more the rate will be important.
2. The duration of use: The longer it is, the more the possible flow will have to be low.
Number of achievable burns with 2 Propane gas cylinder 13 kg:

8.2 Implementation of the adapter and accessories
The trainings must be completed with accessories on tray filled with water only.
Prior to manipulating the tray, shut down the system:
1. Turn off the gas supply by pressing the emergency stop button
2. Purge the line by pressing the remote control button and let the remote on the control desk
3. Close the valve located at the bottom of the tray on the gas circuit to concentrate the action
of flame only in the adapter
4. An adapter (support for various training accessories) should be positioned in the tray.
It also concentrates the flames. The adapter must be positioned on the first side of the tray
(side without wheels). The notches in the base of the adapter must fit on the gas circuit.
Accessories land on this adapter.
5. Adjust the gas regulator at a low rate (1 bar max).
6. When you release the button on the remote control, the fire can continue for a while in
the accessory, because it was filled with gas. Wait several seconds before re-ignite so that
the adapter and the accessory are no longer saturated with gas.
Nota: The accessories allow to obtain different shapes/height of flames.
By leaving open the valve, we can simulate the burning of the accessory and the
full tray.
