POWER SUPPLY SELECTION www.elastec.com The first step in getting your SmartAsh ready is to determine the electrical power required for your particular unit (110-volt or 220-volt). You will then need to choose the correct electrical outlet for the unit. NOTE: Choose an outlet with a 20-amp breaker or greater.
1. Select a site at least 10 feet / 3 meters from buildings, hedges and trees. Place SmartAsh on bare ground, gravel or concrete. Do not burn on asphalt surfaces, lawn or ground with dry vegetation, as drum bottom becomes very hot.
SmartAsh OPERATION www.elastec.com CAUTION: Operator must wear safety glasses and gloves at all times during operation. 1. When burning oil-soaked absorbents, place a layer of unused absorbents in the drum first. This will absorb free liquids that drain from oily materials during burn.
5. When the burn is complete, the unit should be allowed to cool for several minutes. Avoid touching the clamps or porthole until unit has cooled. Be sure to wear gloves when removing the lid. SMARTASH D-044 Rev 008...

The leaves will ensure the proper incineration of the tree limbs. Any yard waste material to be burned should be dried because of the high moisture content. Lighting of the leaves is all that is required to start the incineration process. SMARTASH D-044 Rev 008...

Successful testing has been completed for disposing of free oils containing no absorbent materials. Although care in loading the drum is needed, it is an alternative to mixing absorbent with the oil for disposal in SmartAsh. A maximum of 20 gallons of liquid per load is recommended. Some small pieces of wood material are required for the disposing of oils in this manner.
