•Introduction
Forward
Thank you very much for purchasing Ryno Worx crack maintenance equipment. We pride ourselves in being different from
other equipment manufacturers with a relentless focus on innovation, simplicity, and quality.
This melter was designed to be used with ‘Direct Fire’ crack sealants only. Please be sure to purchase the correct material
to ensure safe and effective operation.
Within this document are complete instructions for how to assemble, use and care for your equipment. Please make
sure you read and follow all instructions provided.
Within this document you will find the following resources:
•Assembly Instructions –These instructions will assist you in assembling and preparing your melter for first time
use.
•Operation Guide –This guide will explain the functions and controls of the melter and how to use them.
•Maintenance Guide –This guide will provide you with suggested maintenance tips and techniques to ensure
proper function and optimal performance.
•Troubleshooting Guide –This guide will provide you with the most commonly reported problems, possible causes,
and known solutions.

•Assembly Instructions
1) Install the Agitation Bar
Position the short side of
the agitation bar over
the right mounting stud
first and then carefully
bend the long side over
the left stud
Thread the locknuts on
each mounting stud,
sufficient play should be
left between the nut and
agitation bar to allow the
bar to swing freely –Note
that since these are
locknuts, a significant
amount of force will be
required to thread them
on the stud. A long wrench
is recommended to make
the job easier.

2) Install the Lid Handle
3) Install Thermometer and Thermometer Guard
Use a wrench to turn
the nut at the base of
the thermometer, do
not turn the
thermometer by the dial
as excessive force on
the thermometer dial
can cause damage

4) Thread the Molasses Valve into the Collar
5) Install the AA Battery into the Igniter
Use a pipe wrench to
tighten the valve so that
the spout is facing down
Unscrew the Igniter Button and
Insert a AA Battery (Positive
Side Facing Out). Then screw
the button back on

10
6) Install the Burner Trays
⚠Make sure the burner trays are secured with the PTO pin at all times, especially during transportation and operation.
⚠Make sure to secure the propane hose so that they are clear of the hot kettle walls during operation.
Insert the Burner Tray into the
Kettle and Make sure it Seats
Properly in the Tracks. Secure
with provided PTO Pin.

•Operations Guide
Before beginning please check the following:
1. You have read and understand all warnings on page 2.
2. You are using new and full propane cylinder (use of a used cylinder can lead to reduced performance or
equipment failure).
3. You have inspected your regulator, hose and burner assembly and verified there are no leaks or physical
damage.
4. You are outdoors in a well-ventilated area that is free and clear of any flammable matter.
5. You have completed the assembly of the equipment correctly.
6. You have ‘Direct Fire’ type crack sealant such as GemSeal, SealMaster, Durafill, Craftco or Maxwell.
7. There is absolutely NO water in or around the kettle.
8. You are wearing a protective face shield.
9. You are wearing heat and fire resistant protective gloves.
10. You are wearing heat and fire resistant protective clothing which covers all exposed skin.
Part 1 –How to Load and Light your Melter
1. Ensure your regulator is off by rotating regulator nob fully counter-clockwise (rotate left).
2. Slowly pressurize the regulator by rotating the valve located on the propane cylinder counter-clockwise all the
way (rotate left).
3. Inspect and ensure there are no leaks between any of the connections before proceeding.
4. Load crack sealant into kettle, while ensuring sealant is resting on the bottom of the kettle.
5. Pressurize the propane hose by rotating the regulator knob fully clockwise (rotate right).
6. Press and hold the electric igniter button immediately followed by the burner starter button. Continue holding
both buttons until the burner ignites.
7. Once the burner ignites, release the electric igniter button, however continue to hold the starter button for an
additional 15-20 seconds. This will eventually deactivate the flame-out sensor which is responsible for ensuring
the burner stays lit.
8. Once lit, you can control the temperature by adjusting the regulator.

Part 2 –Agitating and Monitoring Temperature
1. Never leave melter unattended when the burner is lit. If flame goes out, promptly turn off the flow of gas; double
check that the melter is free and clear of any gas odors before attempting to re-ignite the burner.
2. While your melter is ignited you should continuously be monitoring the material temperature. Check with your crack
sealant manufacturer for safe melting temperatures and ensure you continually adjust the burner control knob to
maintain the recommended temperature range. If the material becomes too hot, you may need to turn off your
burner periodically.
3. As material begins to melt, it’s important to consistently agitate. Agitation moves the solid crack sealant along the
bottom and prevents ‘hot spots’ from forming which can alter the effectiveness of the sealant after applied.
Agitation also prevents chunks of over-heated material from forming which will eventually
plug or block your flow valve which can slow down material flow.
Part 3 –Dispensing Crack Filler
Once you have effectively liquefied the crack sealant, you may begin to dispense it from the molasses valve into a pour
pot or other application device. Having a hot molasses valve helps facilitate the flow of melted crack fill. We recommend
having an auxiliary heating torch on hand to heat up the molasses valve before dispensing.
Part 4 –Turning Off and Draining
Once you have finished using the melter, make sure it is fully drained and no crack filler remains inside the kettle or the
flow valve. Leaving the flow valve empty after use will prevent the valve from being blocked the next time you use the
melter.

•Periodic Maintenance
This melter / applicator requires periodic maintenance before each use and at set intervals in order to ensure it is
performing safely and optimally. The list below describes checks and maintenance which are recommended.
-Check Propane Tank fuel level, refill as needed.
-Inspect regulator, hose, gas connections, and burner for physical damage or leaks before every use.
-Periodically inspect thermometer for physical damage or malfunctions.
-Periodically scrape crystallized material from the inside of the kettle.

•Troubleshooting Guide
Below we have provided a common problems and solutions table. Be sure to consult this table should you experience
any technical problems.
Description of Problem
Possible Causes
Known Solutions
The burner will not ignite or
the burner will not stay lit
1) The electric igniter may have dead
or low power batteries
2) Burner start button is not being
held long enough for ignition to take
place
3) The fuel level could be too low
4) The propane cylinder valve could
be partially or fully closed, which can
restrict fuel flow
1) Change the batteries located in the
igniter assembly, double check spark.
2) Ensure you hold your burner start
button until the burner ignites,
continue to hold for an additional 15-
20 seconds
3) Check and refill your fuel tank
4) Ensure your fuel valve is fully
open, you can do this by turning the
knob fully counter-clockwise
Crack filler is hot, but will not come
out of the flow valve
1) Crack filler was left inside the
melter from a previous job. This crack
filler has solidified inside the
molasses valve and although the
material in the kettle is melted, the
material in the molasses valve may
not be.
1) Allow the burner more time to
heat up the valve until the crack filler
inside begins to melt. Alternatively,
you may heat up the valve using a
propane torch assembly.
Burner will not stay lit
1) The fuel level may be too low
2) Loose connection between the
thermocouple and flame-out valve
1) Refill your fuel tank
2) Tighten the thermocouple
connection to the flame-out valve
Crack filler is melting really slowly
1) Incorrect crack sealant being used
2) Burner is not providing enough
heat to melt the crack sealant
3) The temperature outside is cooler
than normal slowing down the
melting process
1) Double check that you are using an
approved crack sealant for use in
direct-fire melters
2) Increase the fuel to your burner
3) No solutions, melting takes longer
on cooler days
