State Action or FunctionStandby As soon as power is supplied to the burner control, the burner control

enters the standby state in which it will remain until there is a call for heat or power is disconnected.

Valve-on delay

(pre-time)

When the setpoint of the temperature controller is set to a temperature higher than that of the heat transfer fluid, the output contacts of the temperature controller close, completing a circuit between the two terminals labeled “T” of the burner control. This is the call for heat. The burner control enters the valve-on-delay state.

The valve-on-delay state lasts 15 seconds. During this state:Power is sent to the burner motor.Power is sent to the electrodes.If the cad cell detects flame anytime during the valve-on-delay state, the burner control goes into the lockout state.

Trial-for-ignition

The trial-for-ignition state immediately follows the valve-on-delay state. During this state:

The fuel shut-off valve is opened (energized).Pressurized fuel atomizes at the burner nozzle.The atomized fuel is ignited by the electrodes.The burner fires and the flame is monitored by the cad cell.If flame is detected, the burner control moves to the ignition carryover state.

If flame is not detected within 15 seconds: The burner control enters the lockout state.Power is disconnected from the fuel shut-off valve, electrodes, and the burner motor.

5.1 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)Overview The blower motor on your machine requires a surge of electrical current when

starting. This means that the amount of power needed to initially start the motor is larger than the power required to keep it running. The motor may not start if the power source does not provide enough current to overcome the surge.Machines equipped with generators include a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD (a) allows the motor to start at a low RPM with a gradual increase to full operating speed. This reduces the amount of current needed to start the motor.

Changing VFD settings

The VFD is factory-set for the motor to reach full operating speed 5 seconds after startup. Contact your Wacker Neuson representative if there is a need to adjust the time interval.

5.2 TrailerOverview Mobile HI 900 IDF Heaters are mounted on trailers equipped with electric brakes or

surge brakes, depending on the model selected.Electric brakes draw power from the towing vehicle. When the brake pedal is applied, a magnetic actuator forces the brake shoes against the brake drum to slow the trailer. A battery-powered breakaway cable is included as a safety measure to stop the trailer if both the safety chains and coupler fail.Surge brakes operate independently of the towing vehicle. When the brake pedal is applied, centrifugal force actuates a master hydraulic cylinder in the trailer. Hydraulic fluid then forces the brake shoes against the brake drum to slow the trailer.

Trailer manual A trailer owner’s manual is provided with the HI 900. Read the manual and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for using, adjusting, maintaining, and storing the trailer.

9.5 Inspecting the Heat ExchangerIntroduction The heat exchanger consists of the combustion chamber and an attached series of

metal tubes. As intake air flows over the hot combustion chamber and tubes, it collects heat. The heated intake air is then blown out of the supply ducts.

Reasons for inspection

A cracked or damaged heat exchanger is hazardous! Poisonous carbon monoxide gas can escape from the heat exchanger and enter the clean air stream. Combustible gases may also ignite the surrounding insulation material, causing a fire. To ensure a safe operating condition, the heat exchanger must be inspected regularly for damage.

When Inspect the heat exchanger at least twice a year as part of the regularly scheduled maintenance program.

Inspect the heat exchanger more often if any of the following conditions exist:The machine has been transported or towed over extremely rough roads or terrain.The machine / towing vehicle has been involved in an accident.The machine has been dropped.There is visible damage to the heater shell or trailer components.The burner has been improperly adjusted and is over-firing.There is doubt about whether regularly scheduled maintenance has been performed.The safety systems have been bypassed by improper or modified wiring.

NOTICE: If the machine wiring has been altered, correct the wiring before operating the machine.

Requirements Power disconnected from the machine.Machine cool. Do not inspect a hot heat exchanger.Gas fuel supply disconnected from machines with gas burners. See topic Connecting the Gas Line.Assistant to aid in the inspectionShop light or flash lightInspection mirror

This procedure continues on the next page.

DANGERAsphyxiation hazard. Gases escaping from a cracked or damaged heat exchanger contain carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison you cannot see or smell. CO can kill you in minutes!

Do not operate the machine if it has a cracked or damaged heat exchanger.

C. Determining compatibility of tire and vehicle load capabilities.D. Adverse safety consequences of overloading on handling and stopping on tires.

1.1. STEPS FOR DETERMINING CORRECT LOAD LIMIT TRAILER

Determining the load limits of a trailer includes more than understanding the load limits of the tires alone. On all trailersthere is a Federal certification/VIN label that is located on the forward half of the left (road) side of the unit. This

loaded trailer can weigh. It will also provide the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This is the most a particular axle can weigh. If there are multiple axles, the GAWR of each axle will be provided.

If your trailer has a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less, there is a vehicle placard located in the same location as the certification label described above. This placard provides tire and loading information. In addition, this placard will show a statement regarding maximum cargo capacity. Cargo can be added to the trailer, up to the maximum weight specified onthe placard. The combined weight of the cargo is provided as a single number. In any case, remember: the total weight of a fully loaded trailer can not exceed the stated GVWR.

For trailers with living quarters installed, the weight of water and propane also need to be considered. The weight of fully filled propane containers is considered part of the weight of the trailer before it is loaded with cargo, and is not consideredpart of the disposable cargo load. Water however, is a disposable cargo weight and is treated as such. If there is a fresh water storage tank of 100 gallons, this tank when filled would weigh about 800 pounds. If more cargo is being transported, water can be off-loaded to keep the total amount of cargo added to the vehicle within the limits of the GVWR so as not to overload the vehicle. Understanding this flexibility will allow you, the owner, to make choices that fit your travel needs.

When loading your cargo, be sure it is distributed evenly to prevent overloading front to back and side to side. Heavy items should be placed low and as close to the axle positions as reasonable. Too many items on one side may overload a tire. The best way to know the actual weight of the vehicle is to weigh it at a public scale. Talk to your dealer to discuss the weighing methods needed to capture the various weights related to the trailer. This would include the weight empty or unloaded, weights per axle, wheel, hitch or king-pin, and total weight.

Tire Safety Information

Excessive loads and/or underinflation cause tire overloading and, as a result, abnormal tire flexing occurs. This situation can generate an excessive amount of heat within the tire. Excessive heat may lead to tire failure. It is the air pressure that enables a tire to support the load, so proper inflation is critical. The proper air pressure may be found on the certification/VIN label and/or on the Tire Placard. This value should never exceed the maximum cold inflation pressure stamped on the tire.

1.4. TIRE SAFETY - EVERYTHING RIDES ON IT

The National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has published a brochure (DOT HS 809 361) that discusses all aspects of Tire Safety, as required by CFR 575.6. This brochure is reproduced in part below. It can be obtained and downloaded from NHTSA, free of charge, from the following web site:

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/TireSafety/ridesonit/tires_index.html

Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards, and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions, along with other care and maintenance activities, can also:

Improve vehicle handling Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents Improve fuel economy Increase the life of your tires.

This booklet presents a comprehensive overview of tire safety, including information on the following topics:Basic tire maintenance Uniform Tire Quality Grading System Fundamental characteristics of tires

Tire Safety Information

y p

Use this information to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Recognize that the time you spend is minimal compared with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire or other tire failure.

1.5. SAFETY FIRST BASIC TIRE MAINTENANCE

Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Underinflated tires and overloaded vehicles are a major cause of tire failure. Therefore, as mentioned above, to avoid flat tires and other types of tire failure, you should maintain proper tire pressure, observe tire and vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards, and regularly inspect your tires.

1.5.1. FINDING YOUR VEHICLE'S RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE AND LOAD LIMITS

Tire information placards and vehicle certification labels contain information on tires and load limits. These labels indicate the vehicle manufacturer's information including:

Recommended tire size Recommended tire inflation pressure Vehicle capacity weight (VCW the maximum occupant and cargo weight a vehicle is designed to carry) Front and rear gross axle weight ratings (GAWR the maximum weight the axle systems are designed to carry).

Both placards and certification labels are permanently attached to the trailer near the left front.

1.5.2. UNDERSTANDING TIRE PRESSURE AND LOAD LIMITS

Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load-carrying capacity and affects the overall performance of the vehicle. The tire inflation pressure is a number that indicates the amount of air pressure measured in pounds per square inch (psi) a tire requires to be properly inflated. (You will also find this number on the vehicle information placard expressed in kilopascals (kpa), which is the metric measure used internationally.)

Manufacturers of passenger vehicles and light trucks determine this number based on the vehicle's design load limit, that is, the greatest amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry and the vehicle's tire size. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is referred to as the "recommended cold inflation pressure." (As you will read below, it is difficult to obtain the recommended tire pressure if your tires are not cold.)Because tires are designed to be used on more than one type of vehicle, tire manufacturers list the "maximum permissible inflation pressure" on the tire sidewall. This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.

1.5.3. CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE

It is important to check your vehicle's tire pressure at least once a month for the following reasons:

Most tires may naturally lose air over time. Tires can lose air suddenly if you drive over a pothole or other object or if you strike the curb when parking. With radial tires, it is usually not possible to determine underinflation by visual inspection.

For convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in your vehicle. Gauges can be purchased at tire dealerships, auto supply stores, and other retail outlets. The recommended tire inflation pressure that vehicle manufacturers provide reflects the proper psi when a tire is cold. The term cold does not relate to the outside temperature. Rather, a cold tire is one that has not been driven on for at least three hours. When you drive, your tires get warmer, causing the air pressure within them to increase. Therefore, to get an accurate tire pressure reading, you must measure tire pressure when the tires are cold or compensate for the extra pressure in warm tires.

Tire Safety Information

1.5.4. STEPS FOR MAINTAINING PROPER TIRE PRESSURE

Step 1: Locate the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle's tire information placard, certification label, or in the owner's manual. Step 2: Record the tire pressure of all tires. Step 3: If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires, slowly release air by gently pressing on the tire valve stem with the edge of your tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure. Step 4: If the tire pressure is too low, note the difference between the measured tire pressure and the correct tire pressure. These "missing" pounds of pressure are what you will need to add. Step 5: At a service station, add the missing pounds of air pressure to each tire that is underinflated. Step 6: Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air pressure (except in cases in which the front and rear tires are supposed to have different amounts of pressure).

If you have been driving your vehicle and think that a tire is underinflated, fill it to the recommended cold inflation pressure indicated on your vehicle's tire information placard or certification label. While your tire may still be slightly underinflated due to the extra pounds of pressure in the warm tire, it is safer to drive with air pressure that is slightly lower than the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressure than to drive with a significantly underinflated tire. Since this is a temporary fix, don't forget to recheck and adjust the tire's pressure when you can obtain a cold reading.

1.5.5. TIRE SIZE

To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are the same size as the vehicle's original tires or another size recommended by the manufacturer. Look at the tire information placard, the owner's manual, or the sidewall of the tire you are replacing to find this information. If you have any doubt about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer.

1.5.6. TIRE TREAD

The tire tread provides the gripping action and traction that prevent your vehicle from slipping or sliding, especially when the road is wet or icy. In general, tires are not safe and should be replaced when the tread is worn down to 1/16 of an inch. Tires have built-in treadwear indicators that let you know when it is time to replace your tires. These indicators are raised sections spaced intermittently in the bottom of the tread grooves. When they appear "even" with the outside of the tread, it is time to replace your tires. Another methodfor checking tread depth is to place a penny in the tread with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, you are ready for new tires.

1.5.7. TIRE BALANCE AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT

To avoid vibration or shaking of the vehicle when a tire rotates, the tire must be properly balanced. This balance is achieved by positioning weights on the wheel to counterbalance heavy spots on the wheel-and-tire assembly. A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels so that they are positioned correctly relative to the vehicle's frame. This adjustment maximizes the life of your tires. These adjustments require special equipment and should be performed by a qualified technician.

1.5.8. TIRE REPAIR

The proper repair of a punctured tire requires a plug for the hole and a patch for the area inside the tire that surrounds the puncture hole. Punctures through the tread can be repaired if they are not too large, but punctures to the sidewall should not be repaired. Tires must be removed from the rim to be properly inspected before being plugged and patched.

1.5.9. TIRE FUNDAMENTALS

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a tire identification number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.

Tire Safety Information

1.5.9.1. Information on Passenger Vehicle Tires

Please refer to the diagram below.

PThe "P" indicates the tire is for passenger vehicles.

Next numberThis three-digit number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the tire.

Next numberThis two-digit number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire's ratio of height to width. Numbers of 70 or lower indicate a short sidewall for improved steering response and better overall handling on dry pavement.

RThe "R" stands for radial. Radial ply construction of tires has been the industry standard for the past 20 years.

Next numberThis two-digit number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter.

Next numberThis two- or three-digit number is the tire's load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may find this information in your owner's manual. If not, contact a local tire dealer. Note: You maynot find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.

M+SThe "M+S" or "M/S" indicates that the tire has some mud and snow capability. Most radial tires have these markings; hence, they have some mud and snow capability.

Speed RatingThe speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time. The ratings range from 99 miles per hour (mph) to 186 mph. These ratings are listed below. Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.

Letter Rating Speed RatingQ 99 mphR 106 mphS 112 mphT 118 mphU 124 mphH 130 mphV 149 mphW 168* mphY 186* mph

* For tires with a maximum speed capability over 149 mph, tire manufacturers sometimes use the letters ZR. For those with a maximum speed capability over 186 mph, tire manufacturers always use the letters ZR.

U.S. DOT Tire Identification NumberThis begins with the letters "DOT" and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example, the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer's discretion. This information is used to contact consumers if a tire defect requires a recall.

Tire Ply Composition and Materials UsedThe number of plies indicates the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire. In general, the greater the number of plies, the more weight a tire can support. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.

Maximum Load RatingThis number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire.

Maximum Permissible Inflation PressureThis number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.

1.5.9.2. UTQGS Information

Treadwear NumberThis number indicates the tire's wear rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it should take for thetread to wear down. For example, a tire graded 400 should last twice as long as a tire graded 200.

Traction LetterThis letter indicates a tire's ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow you to stop your car on wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to lowest as "AA","A", "B", and "C".

Temperature LetterThis letter indicates a tire's resistance to heat. The temperature grade is for a tire that is inflated properly andnot overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure. From highest to lowest, a tire's resistance to heat is graded as "A", "B", or "C".

Tire Safety Information

g

Please refer to the following diagram.

Tires for light trucks have other markings besides those found on the sidewalls of passenger tires.

LTThe "LT" indicates the tire is for light trucks or trailers.

STAn "ST" is an indication the tire is for trailer use only.

Max. Load Dual kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) ColdThis information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a dual, that is, when four tires are put on each rear axle (a total of six or more tires on the vehicle).

Max. Load Single kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) ColdThis information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire is used as a single.

Load RangeThis information identifies the tire's load-carrying capabilities and its inflation limits.

1.6. TIRE SAFETY TIPS

Preventing Tire Damage

Slow down if you have to go over a pothole or other object in the road.Do not run over curbs or other foreign objects in the roadway, and try not to strike the curb when parking.

Tire Safety Checklist

Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month), including the spare.Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread, cracks, foreign objects, or other signs of wear or trauma.Remove bits of glass and foreign objects wedged in the tread.Make sure your tire valves have valve caps.Check tire pressure before going on a long trip.Do not overload your vehicle. Check the Tire Information and Loading Placard or for the maximum recommended load for the vehicle.
