Page 17: How It Works
Field Pump HOW THE MACHINE WORKS The Heat King HK300B unit is designed to heat a propylene glycol water solution which is then used for ground thawing, concrete curing or space heating. The glycol solution is pumped out of its storage reservoir and heated in a high capacity heat exchanger and returned to the reservoir until it reaches a user settable temperature.
Page 18: Protective Devices
Protective Devices The HK300B is equipped with the following protective devices to protect the user and the machine: Emergency stop switch The emergency stop switch is monitored by the controller inputs. The input is connected to ground when the switch is pressed. In the event of an e-stop condition the system mode is set to OFF and all output functions are shut down by the controller.

Page 21 Operating Temperature Selection The Heat King is designed with an electronic programmable tempera- ture controller. The temperature controller will measure the tempera- ture of the reservoir and will then control the burner to maintain a set temperature range. The unit comes with a factory set operating tempera- ture of 180°F with a 10°F (5.5°C) temperature drop before the burner...
Page 22 Flashing Beacon The Flashing Beacon is located on the rear of the Heat King Unit. This beacon providesa visual indication that the Heater Loop Circuit is in the "ON" position. Foot Pedal / Hose Reel: The hose reel extend-retract function is controlled by the foot pedal switch.
Page 23 Valves: Many circuits are designed with valves that control the flow in the circuit. Move the handle parallel to the line to open the valve and at right angles to close the valve. In most cases, a valve is placed in a line to allow for conveni- ent isolation and servicing of a system.
Page 24: Set Up
Set Up The machine must be placed and set-up properly to perform as expected. Follow these instructions when bringing the Heat King to a work site and preparing it for opera- tion. 1. Locate the unit in an area that is firm, level and with good drainage to minimize standing water.

Page 29: Maintenance
Burner Maintenance DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT OR CONTROLS - CALL YOUR SERVICE PERSONNEL. To ensure continued reliable operation, a qualified service technician must service this burner every 750 hours. More frequent service intervals may be required in dusty or adverse environments. Operation and adjustment of the burner requires technical training and skillful use of combustion test instruments and other test equipment.
Page 30 CHANGING FUEL NOZZLE AND ELECTRODES Annually or every 750 hours (or more often if fuel quality is poor) the fuel nozzles and elecrodes should be changed. To change, follow this procedure: Check/adjust electrodes Check the electrode tip settings. Adjust if necessary to comply with the dimensions shown. To adjust, loosen the electrode clamp screw and slide/rotate electrodes as necessary.
Page 31 Removing Nozzle Line Assembly 1. Turn off power before servicing. 2. Disconnect oil connector tube from nozzle line. 3. Loosen the two screws securing igniter retaining clips and rotate both clips to release igniter baseplate. Then tilt igniter back on its hinge.
Page 32 4. Remove splined nut. 5.Remove nozzle line assembly from burner, being careful not to damage the elec- trodes or insulators while handling. To ease removal of the assembly rotateassembly 180° from installed position after pulling partially out of tube. *To replace the nozzle assembly, reverse the above steps.
