1. INTRODUCTION
The AEROS2 is a fire trainer with water tray. It allows training in the use of different extinguishing
materials (all fire extinguishers, nozzles, portable foam units, etc ...) safely and with respect for
the environment.
Thanks to its wired remote control, The AEROS2 allows the trainer to manage the fire
(switching on and off) to accompany trainees safely during training interventions.
The trainings conducted with AEROS2 can be supplemented with the use of training modules and
enable personalized and realistic training: Oil explosion, aerosol explosion, fryer fire, bin fire,
screen fire, electric motor fire, or electrical cabinet fire.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this entire manual along with all the instructions before using the equipment.
Check the condition of the gooseneck regularly.
The unit only works with Propane gas. It is forbidden to feed your flame generator with propane
in liquid form, especially with carburetion bottles.
This equipment is for outdoors use only and should not be used in explosive atmospheres.
The distance container / cylinders given by the length of pipe supply: 6m.
Never use this equipment over 3 bar.
WARNING hot surfaces: always wear gloves to avoid burns.
The remote control must always stay in the instructor’s hands.
Do not keep pressing the push-button on the remote control if no flame appears, so as to
avoid the risk of spreading non-ignited gas, which could catch fire outside the limits of the
fire container.
Any dismantling, or any attempt at dismantling the apparatus, except for consumables such
as the battery or the fuse, will render the manufacturer’s guarantee null and void.

This equipment apparatus works only with gas in the gaseous state. It should always be
supplied from cylinders standing upright; never put the cylinder on its side.
Remember that it is forbidden to store cylinders of Propane gas indoors. They must be kept
outdoors.
Training apparatus using explosive fuel are for use by trained staff only. LEADER accepts
no responsibility in the event of accidents or damage involving people or property.

Be careful that no sand or gravel enters through the joints of the pipe or the apparatus.
This could damage the electro-valve.
The battery can be discharged down to a minimum of 10v. Beyond this it will not be possible
to recharge it properly.
Always replace a defective part by an original part supplied by LEADER SAS.
Keep the device away from children.

5. COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS
Use indoors can cause an accumulation of gas resulting in an explosion!
Before use: Recharge the battery for at least 12 hours.
Side holes
Place the fire generator tank on
a flat surface to make sure
the water level is even in all
areas.
Place it so that the remote control
cable and the gas supply pipe are
opposite the direction of the wind.
Fill the tank until it overflows
from the side holes.

8
Once the tray is full of water, place the gas bottle
far from the flame generator tank; use the full
length of the pipe and avoid bends.
Manually screw the pressure regulation valve
onto the bottle.
Connect the gas supply lyre to the flame
generator tank either by screwing on the lyre
fitting manually, or by connecting the quick
coupler (optional)
Once the appliance has a gas supply, set the
pressure regulation valve to a position greater
than 3for firing.
Always keep a watch on the flame generator tank and the persons around it when operating
the remote control.
The remote control must be permanently held by the operator. The operator must stand
close to the gas bottle, ready to close its valve or to set the pressure regulation valve to 0 if
there is a problem. If the operator needs to move away from the gas bottle, they must
assign a person to be ready to cut the gas supply in the event of a problem.
The remote control is secure: only a deliberate action can operate the control button. From
its design, unplanned triggering of the flame generator following a fall or an impact is improbable.
Stopping:
The appliance must be drained before disconnecting the pressure regulation valve from the bottle.
Place the pressure regulation valve on 0, shut off the bottle and press the remote control
to evacuate the remaining gas.
Then you can disconnect the lyre from the bottle and the tank, then tip over the tank to empty
its water.
Then you can use it by pressing the button
on the remote control to fire the flame
generator tank. Release the button to put out
the flames.
To increase or lower flame height, increase
or decrease the pressure regulation valve
setting.

9
Do not try to start the Aeros with the pressure regulator in position 0 or 3.
Do not smoke during these operations
We recommend the use of work site type 13 kg or 35 kg propane gas bottles from
Antargaz. To find out where to purchase them: http://www.Antargaz.com .
The Aeros appliance only operates using propane gas in its gaseous state. Always supply it
using vertical bottles; do not lay the bottles on their sides as this would cause the Aeros to
operate with the gas in liquid state and would permanently damage the entire gas circuit.
Any type of extinguishing agent can be used with the AEROS2.
Be careful when using foam: it traps the has which risks igniting further away when it is no
longer in the tank.
It is possible that trainees manage to blow out the flames, especially when using a Co²
extinguisher. Release the remote control button. The trainee will have the impression that
they put the fire out.
Do not keep the remote control button pressed down if no flames appear, to prevent the
spread of non ignited gas and its unplanned ignition outside the flame generator tank.
After an intervention, wait for a few seconds and reset the pressure regulator to position
1 or 2 before reigniting the fire, so that the tank is no longer saturated with gas.

6. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
oPropane bottle
Close the gas bottle and place the pressure regulation valve in position 0, purge the gas
circuit by pressing the button on the remote control. Warning, this operation ignites the fire
in the tank, which will then quickly go out.
Disconnect the gas bottle supply pipe.
Disconnect the flame generator gas lyre.
oTank water
To empty the water from the tank, tip it towards the side opposite
the ignition system.
oCleaning
BEWARE OF THE HOT PARTS.
The upper part of the tank is very hot after use.
Before handling the tank, hose it down with water to cool it; wear gloves.
Wash the tank abundantly with water to remove any powder or other extinguishing agent
residue.
In order to remove soot, clean the tank using Pyroclean; apply using a damp sponge, then
rinse abundantly and wipe with a soft cloth.
oRecharging the battery
Disconnect the cap
Connect the charger plug to the tank.
Then, connect the charger to the mains.
NOTE:
The charge time for an flat battery, or a battery being charged for the first time is about
24 hours. Please read the manufacturer's instructions. We recommend recharging
the battery after each use, or once per month if it has not been used.

8. MALFUNCTIONS
Symptoms
Possible cause
Solutions
The flames are
not high enough.
Is the gas bottle sufficiently
full?
Replace the bottle.
Is the flow regulation knob on
the pressure regulator
sufficiently tightened?
Tighten the flow regulation knob.
The gas bottle is frosted
(too intense use).
Change the gas bottle
Or wait for it to defrost.
Are the weather conditions
favourable?
A very low outside temperature has
a significant influence on the size of
the flames. They will be bigger in
summer than in winter.
Nothing happens when you
press the button on the remote
control.
Has the battery been
recharged?
Connect the charger to the AEROS
tank and power it on.
The gas is not flowing (the water
is not "bubbling"). However the spark
is produced (you can hear the
continuous "tick-tick" of the firing
system).
Is the gas bottle open?
Open the gas bottle.
Check the position of the
pressure regulator knob.
If it is on 0, turn it to position 1 or 2.
Is the "tack" from the
solenoid valve heard as soon
as you press the remote
control button?
If not, the solenoid may be
defective. Repairs must be carried
out in the factory.
The gas is flowing (the water
"bubbles") but does not ignite.
The firing system is saturated
with gas.
Wait a few moments
for it to be sufficiently ventilated.
There may be a drop of water
on the electrodes.
Tap the tank to make the drop of
water fall off.
Has extinguisher powder
been used during the drills?
The electrodes are dirty. Was them
abundantly in water and dry them
using compressed air
Can you hear the "tack-tack"
of the firing system?
If not, the white high voltage block
on the firing system may be burnt
out.
It must be replaced in the factory.
