 STERILIZER UNIT

1. DESCRIPTION

1.1 Features
The sterilizer is of full jacketed, horizontal pressure type construction and designed as a
portable unit for use under field emergency conditions. It is suitable for the sterilizing and
drying of surgical instruments, utensils, dressings and flasked surgical solutions.
The sterilizing unit is of welded aluminum alloy constructions for light weight. The chamber
assembly, with internal dimensions of 406 mm (16") diameter x 914 mm (36") long, is
supported in a combination case at the backhead and end ring to provide rigidity and
protection. This case, when closed, completely encloses and protects the sterilizer and its
heat source, serves as a shipping container, and when opened, provides an integral stand
placing the sterilizing chamber and operating controls at a convenient working high. When
closed, ready for shipment, the case is designed to withstand rough handling and to stack
and handle easily.
Universal shelves are supplied to provide four shelf levels, the top three in any combination
to provide flexibility. The shelves are removable and stack for compact storage. A jacket
cleanout opening is provided at the rear of the sterilizer to remove foreign accumulations in
the jacket. A scraper to facilitate this is supplied.
The sterilizer is designed to utilize the jacket as a steam boiler. Steam can be produced by
electric immersion heaters, or by use a gasoline burner unit. The unit can also be connected
directly to a steam supply line by addition of a direct steam conversion unit.
Water is retained in the jacket of the sterilizer, and when it is heated, the hot gases are
directed around the shell and out vent pipes at the top of the unit. A water level indicator is
located at the rear of the sterilizer, the sight glass being resilient mounted to prevent
breakage. Steam is taken from the top front of the jacket and introduced into the chamber at
the top rear. A baffle deflects the steam through chamber, and exhaust air leaves at the
front bottom of the chamber through a removable, screened outlet. A low water cut-off is
provided for protection of the electric heating elements.
The sterilizer is equipped with a single control multiport valve and vacuum drying system.
With this arrangement, a single control valve directs the steam flow and exhaust by means of
successive positions of the control knob. Provision is made for fast or slow exhaust and
vacuum drying. During vacuum drying, a slight vacuum is created in the chamber, and clean,
filtered air is then introduced into the chamber and ejected to atmosphere. By means of this
system, drying of the load is accomplished with the chamber door closed, minimizing the
danger of contamination by outside air currents.

 2. INSTALLATION

CAUTION
Read this manual thoroughly before installation of the sterilizer.

2.1 Matters to be Attended before Installation

1) This sterilizer, thoroughly inspected and carefully packed prior to shipment, would be
installed by a authorized technician of the supplier after checking the circumstance of the
installing location where is allocated by user.
2) Therefore user must not operate the sterilizer arbitrarily until the technician has
completed installation and provided in-service training for the operator of user side. If this
point has not kept and then occurred some trouble to the sterilizer or human injury, the
supplier and manufacturer has no any responsibilities about it.

2.2 Incoming Inspection and Handling

On delivery, the recipient should thoroughly check the sterilizer(both inside and outside) and
accessaries. If anything is damaged or has been lost during delivery, inform to the
transportation company and our representative in Europe immediately.

2.3 Installation of Sterilizer

Since the unit is self-contained, very little installation is required. To set up the sterilizer for
operation, first open either side door and remove the gasoline burner. Tilt the unit
lengthwise so that the front end is raised up. Unlatch the door in the front end and swing
down 180° into place. The two "T" bars on the door should be screwed firmly into the case
to anchor the door to the case. Unlatch the door on the rear of the unit and raise up the
back end of the unit allowing the door to drop into place. Tighten the two "T" bars into the
case. If necessary, the sterilizer should be blocked up so that it is steady and level. To
insure that the unit is properly leveled, open the sterilizer door and pour a small quantity of
water on the bottom of the chamber at the rear. The water should gently flow to the
chamber drain in front of chamber. Adjust blocking as required to insure proper drainage of
condensate. Shelves should be arranged as desired. Check the chamber and jacket drain
openings on bottom of case for any obstructions to the free flow of water.

WARNING
Ends must be fully opened to leg position and securely fastened in place
before unit is operated.

For indoor use, a funnel should be mounted under the chamber drain and suitably piped to a
waste line. The vent line may be rotated to point in a convenient direction by loosening the
fitting attaching it to the multiport valve, turning the tube to desired position and then
retightening the fitting. A hose may be attached to the 1/2" O.D. tube vent to pipe the
exhaust to the outside to prevent excessive humidification of the room air or to prevent
damage to tenting. The desired heating unit should be installed according to the following

- 5 -
 instructions.

2.4 Electric Heat

To operate on electric heat, the unit need only be connected to the power supply. Access to
the terminal strip is by removal of cover on the electric control box. This unit has been
designed to operate on various power supplies. Following is the list of these power suppies,
together with the appropriate wiring diagram.

220 Volts, Single Phase, 50 or 60 Hz, 45 A, Wiring Diagram A

380 Volts, Three Phase, 50 or 60 Hz, 15 A, Wiring Diagram B
220 Volts, Three Phase, 50 or 60 Hz, 25 A, Wiring Diagram C
208 Volts, Three Phase, 50 or 60 Hz, 25 A, Wiring Diagram D
440 Volts, Three Phase, 50 or 60 Hz, 15 A, Wiring Diagram E
440 Volts, Single Phase, 50 or 60 Hz, 15 A, Wiring Diagram F

Note that in addition to connecting the power supply correctly to the terminal strip, it may
be required to change a connection between the heaters as noted on the appropriate wiring
diagram. Also, for 440 volt power, the connection on the connector coil must be changed to
the 440 volt terminal. For operation on 440 volt, single or 3 phase power, only two heaters
will be energized, with the unit operating on 2/3 wattage, thus increasing the heat-up time. If
440 volt, 3 phase power is used, the heaters are connected across a single phase creating
an unbalanced load. If operated on 208 volt power, heat-up time will be longer due to
reduced wattage.

CAUTION
Ensure that the frame of sterilizer is adequately grounded before operating on electric
power.

2.5 Gasoline Burner

A cavity has been provided to accept the gasoline burner unit. The burner unit will burn any
gasoline, leaded or not. A pump is needed for creating air pressure in the tanks. The burner
unit should be checked for leaks under air pressure prior to filling with gasoline.
A door is provided on both sides of the sterilizer fire box, permitting the burner unit to be
inserted from either side. These doors are provided with a chain to hold them partially
closed, if required, to shield the burner from a strong wind. These doors should not be
completely closed when gasoline burner is used, but left open at least several inches. The
door in the top of the unit must be open to permit venting hot gases from the burner.
When this source of heat is used, with the unit in confined space, it is suggested that two
10 cm (4") stovepipe flues be fitted to the top vent of the sterilizer. Each flue should be run
independently to the outside.

3.2 Filling with Water
If the sterilizer is operated on electric power or gasoline heat, the jacket must be filled with
water as pure as possible. Check the jacket at every cycle. A new cycle should not be
started if the jacket is less than 1/4 full. If the sterilizer is allowed to run dry, the low water
cut-off will trip out, thus interrupting the cycle.
If distilled water is used, it results in less frequent cleaning of the jacket interior.

CAUTION
Lift the "relieve handle" of the safety valve or turn cycle control knob to "dry" position
to release any pressure in the jacket before removing the plug from the filling funnel.

1) Remove the plug from the filling funnel.

2) Turn the cycle control knob to the "STERILIZE" position.
3) Fill the jacket with water through the funnel until the sight glass shows "full".
4) Turn the cycle control knob to "OFF".
5) Replace the plug in the funnel.

3.3 Preliminary Procedure (Electric Heat)

CAUTION
Ensure that the frame of the sterilizer is adequately grounded before operating on
electric power.

1) Ensure that the sight glass shows the water level in the jacket to be at least at the 1/4
mark.
2) Turn the "pressure control switch" knob to the maximum clockwise position.
3) Ensure that the cycle control knob is in "OFF" position.
4) Turn the heater switch on. The heaters are energized and the red pilot light will glow.
5) When the jacket pressure gauge shows the desired pressure [for 121℃ (250℉) operation:
1.2 bar(18 psig) and 132℃ (270℉) operation: 2.0 bar(29 psig)], turn the "pressure control
switch" knob slowly counterclockwise until the pilot light goes out. The "pressure control"
will then cycle automatically, maintaining selected pressure. A preheating time of 10 to 15
minutes is recommended to allow the pressure stabilize.

NOTE
There are no markings or calibration on the pressure control switch since temperature is a
function of absolute pressure rather than gauge pressure. Depending on altitude and
atmospheric conditions, to obtain 121℃ (250℉) temperature may require anywhere between 1
bar(15 psig) and 1.4 bar(20 psig) pressure and to obtain 132℃ (270℉) temperature may
require between 1.9 bar(27 psig) and 2.2 bar(32 psig) pressure. Therefore, the pressure switch
must be adjusted to the pressure which will give the desired temperature and the setting will
vary according to atmospheric conditions and altitude.

6) The sterilizer is now ready for loading.

- 9 -
 NOTE
In the event that water in the jacket runs low, the low water cut-off will interrupt the power
supply to heaters. If this occurs, lift the "relieve handle" on the safety valve to release any
pressure in the jacket before removing the plug from the filling funnel. Wait until internal parts
cool below the boiling point and refill the jacket with water. Then press the reset button (located
underneath the heater box). Then proceed with the regular operating cycle from the beginning.

3.4 Low Water Cut-off Adjustment

Due to severe field conditions, the low water cut-off switch may required adjustment. This is
accomplished by a calibrating screw located beside the low water cut-off reset button
underneath the heater box. First turn the calibrating screw counterclockwise one full turn.
Operate the sterilizer through a 132℃ (270℉) cycle, and after it is about ten minutes into
the cycle, turn calibrating screw clockwise until the switch trips. Then turn the screw
counterclockwise about 1/8 turn and reset the switch. This setting may be checked by
opening the drain valve and draining chamber while heating elements are turned on. The low
water cut-off should actuate by the time the chamber is drained.

CAUTION
The drain valve should be piped to an open container to prevent possibility of operator
injury from the live steam.

NOTE
In the event that the jacket becomes loaded up with lime and other material deposits, the low
water cut-off will continue to trip out during operation. When this occurs, follow maintenance
instructions for cleaning jacket.

3.5 Preliminary Procedure (Gasoline Heat)

1) Ensure that the sight glass shows the water level in the jacket to be at least at the 1/4
mark.
2) Ensure that the cycle control knob is in the "OFF" position.
3) Service and ignite the gasoline burner unit as per operating instructions on the burner unit
and insert it into the firebox of the sterilizer.
4) Both side doors on the burner cavity should be left open unless partial closing is required
to shield the burner from the wind. A chain is provided to hold the door partially closed
and provides a wide range of adjustment. The doors should never be completely closed
when the gasoline burner is being used, but left open at least several inches. The door on
the top of the unit must be open to permit venting of hot gases.
5) When the jacket pressure is as desired [for 121℃ (250℉) operation: 1.0 bar(15 psig) to
1.2 bar(18 psig) and for 132℃ (270℉) operation: 1.8 bar(26 psig) to 2.0 bar(29 psig)],
reduce the flame by use of the burner controls to maintain the desired pressure. A
preheating time of 10 to 15 minutes in recommended to allow the pressure to stabilize.
6) The sterilizer is now ready for loading.

- 10 -
 NOTE
To prevent an overshoot of temperature when operating the sterilizer at 121℃ (250℉), a
pressure relief valve has been provided. This valve is located at the top rear of the unit and is
controlled through a hand valve. When sterilization at 121℃ (250℉) is desired, open the
shut-off valve to the pressure relief valve. For operation at 132℃ (270℉), this hand valve must
be closed.

3.6 Preliminary Procedure (Direct Steam Heat)

1) Open drain valve.
2) Open steam supply valve.
3) Adjust pressure regulator to desired pressure.

NOTE
Operation on direct steam heat requires the installation of the direct steam adapter kit.

3.7 Operation
1) Load the sterilizer leaving enough space between the packs to permit free circulation of
steam. Too close packing of fabric loads will slow the cycle and may cause failure in
sterilization.
2) Close door and tighten handwheel securely. The handwheel will not operate until the door
locking arms are properly located in the end rings. This is accomplished by rotating the
"quickthrow" handle clockwise, item #19, Figure #5.
3) Turn the cycle control knob to the "sterilize" position.
4) The jacket pressure will fall as the chamber fills with steam and both jacket and chamber
will then build up to the desired pressure. When the thermometer in the chamber drain
line reads desired temperature, the timing of the exposure period may commence.
5) At the end of the exposure period, turn the cycle control knob to:
"FAST EXHAUST" for fabric or instrument loads.
"SLOW EXHAUST" for solution loads.
Leave the machine alone the chamber pressure gauge shows zero pressure.

NOTE
Source of heat should be turned off when cycle control knob is turned to the "SLOW EXHAUST"
position. Heat should remain on for "FAST EXHAUST" or "DRY" cycle.

6) If drying cycle is required (as in fabric loads), turn the cycle control knob to "DRY".
7) Turn the cycle control knob to "OFF". Loosen the door locking arms and allow the load to
cool for five minutes. Open the door and take the load out.
The sterilizer may be reloaded and recycled immediately. If sterilizer is not to be used again
immediately, turn off the heat source and turn the cycle control knob to the "DRY" position.
This will bleed off pressure and vent the jacket to prevent a vacuum forming. The sterilizer
door should be closed but not tightened to prevent vacuum forming in the chamber.

- 11 -
3.8 Preparation for Shipment or Storage
The interior surface of the shell should be cleaned throughly by washing with mild detergent
- do not use an abrasive cleaner! All shelving and all exposed interior surfaces of the case
should be cleaned in the same manner. The chamber drain plug should be cleaned, all lint
and sediment also should be removed from the strainer.
With the sterilizer door open, turn the cycle control knob to the "STERILIZE" position and
open the jacket drain valve. Gently rock the sterilizer from side to side and from end to end
to ensure removal of all water from the jacket, chamber and piping.
Turn the cycle control knob to the "DRY" position and leave all valves open.
The sterilizer door should be closed and tightened only enough so that the handles clear the
front door of the case when it is closed.
Remove all external piping and wiring.
Close the top door and both side (fire box) doors and latch in place.
Unscrew the two "T" bars holding the rear door to the case. Raise back of unit up to permit
swinging the door up to the closed position and latch door into place. Release "T" bars on
front door, swing up into closed position and latch into place.

 5. MAINTENANCE

5.1 General
The strainer of chamber drain should be separated daily and remove the lint sediment from
the strainer. The interior surface of the chamber should be cleaned daily before heating,
wash with a mild detergent mixed with water. Do not use steel wool or any abrasive
cleaners. The shelving may be cleaned in the same manner as the chamber.
When sterilizing solutions, chamber interior should be washed down as soon as sterilizer has
cooled down. The interior surfaces of the case should be cleaned regularly and kept free of
dust and moisture.
Periodically, it will be necessary to remove accumulated salts from the jacket interior. A
scraper is provided for this purpose, the work frequency is depended on the hardness of the
water used. Too great an accumulation of salts will impair the heating efficiency and could
cause the heating elements to burn out. An indication of the excessive accumulation of salts
will be tripping of the low water cut-off while there is still enough water in the jacket. When
this occurs, remove the heater box cover (Reference Figure #3), disconnect wiring from the
heater terminals, remove 3/8 hex nuts on heater assembly and remove heaters from the
jacket. After removing salts from the jacket and cleaning heating elements, replace and
reconnect the heater assembly.

5.2 Operating (Multiport) Valve

The only trouble that can be expected from the operating valve is leaking of the valve seat
or of the stem packing. This rarely occurs, but may be remedied by replacing the defective
parts. Disassemble the valve by removing the five body screws. If the carbon seat is worn
out, it should be replaced. Use care not to damage the seating face of the casting.
When reassembling the valve, ensure that the leg on the stem fork labeled "0" is inserted in
the stepped hole in the carbon disc. The side of the disc with the milled slot part way
through is the seating face and should be against the face of the valve body. The valve is
"off" when the stem key way is 45° to the left of the top of the valve as viewed from front
of sterilizer.

5.3 Door
The door should be greased about twice annually when in service.
The stop should be removed from the door post end and the handwheel retaining ring
removed. The handwheel may then be unscrewed, exposing the bearing and screw threads.
Grease these parts liberally with high temperature lubricant.
To disassemble the door, proceed as for greasing. Then remove the three door post screws
on the inside of the door and knock out door post. The hub may then be rotated until the
arms are clear of the fulcrums and the entire assembly lifted off.
Assembly of the door is a reversal of the above. Take care that the hole in the hub flange
lines up with the peg in the door to permit the door to be locked.
The "O" ring under the door post should be replaced when the door post is refitted. To
replace the door gasket, simply lubricate it with soap and water. Lay the gasket in place and

- 15 -
 push it into the groove with the fingers at four equidistant points. Then carefully work the
gasket into the groove until it is evenly distributed around the door. Working from one point
will result in too much or too little gasket left over at the other side of the door.
The hinge pins should be greased when the door is greased, using lubricant. First, loosen
the Allen screws in the hinge blocks, and drive the pins out with an aluminum or brass drift.
Grease the pins and replace. Tighten the Allen screws.

5.4 Carrying Case

Periodically the hinges and latches on the case should be oiled with a few drops of light
motor oil.

5.5 Electric Immersion Heaters

If necessary to replace a defective heater, refer to Figure 6-2 and proceed as follows after
cutting off power supply to heaters. Remove cover from heater box and disconnect the wires
from heaters. Remove the eight 3/8 nuts and washers from the studs and pull the heater
plate from the jacket. The gasket should be removed and discarded. Unscrew the male
connection holding heater to the plate and remove the defective heater. Slide the connectors
over end of replacement heater and screw into the heater plate. Note that connectors must
not protrude more than 1/16" beyond face of heater plate. Remove support Ref. #5 from old
heater and position on the new one.
Slide the new gasket Ref. #2 over the heating elements against the plate and insert the
heater assembly into the jacket cleanout opening. Place the electric box over the studs in
the jacket cleanout flange and secure it with the eight nuts and washers on the studs and
reconnect the wires to the heaters, and lay a cover on the box again.

1.3 Safety Precaution

WARNING
1. Provide adequate ventilation to prevent the accumulation of carbon monoxide, which is a
colorless, poisonous gas. If present, VENTILATE IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, move
personnel to fresh air; keep warm; DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL EXERCISE; if necessary, give
artificial respiration.
2. Make sure the burner is turned off, and allow the unit to cool before filling the fuel tank. Do
not smoke, and make sure there is no open flame in the vicinity. When filling the fuel tank,
always provide a metal-to-metal contact between the container and the fuel tank. Remove
spilled fuel immediately.
3. Keep fuel tank and fuel container caps tight at all times. Do not store fuel containers near
heat or open flame. Never operate burner without top shield installed.
4. Make sure there is no fuel or other inflammable material on or near the burner unit. Do not
release the fuel air pressure until the burner has been turned off and allowed to cool.
Gasoline fumes are explosive and highly flammable.
5. If a fuel leak is detected, shut the unit down immediately. Do not operate again until the
deficiency has been corrected. Do not fill the fuel tank while the unit is operating. Do not
operate burner unit when pressure gage reads in the red.
6. For overnight or short periods of storage with fuel remaining in tank, stand unit on light side
(vertical) in order to prevent leakage. Do not use any other source to pressurize fuel tank
other than hand air pump.
7. If the flame goes out for any reason during operation, close generator valve immediately to
prevent accumulation of fuel and possible explosion.
8. Establish a lighting area that is a safe distance from the fuel area for safety. Fuel spilled
under burner unit could start fire.
9. Dry cleaning solvent (P-D-680), used to clean parts is potentially dangerous to personal and
property. Avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact. do not use near open flame or
excessive heat. Flash point of solvent is 38℃ to 59℃ (100℉ to 138℉).
10. Do not change setting on safety valve device.

- 33 -
 2. OPERATION

B. Air Control Shutter Valve - Air input adjustment to burner.
C. Air Pressure Gauge - Indicates pressure in fuel tank.
D. Preheater Valve - Inputs gas to preheater.
E. Generator Pre-heater Shield - Maintains heat while gas is vaporizing.
F Orifice Cleaner - Cleans orifice in preheater valve.
G. Fuel Tank - Contains fuel to operate burner.
H. Air Valve - Inputs the pressurized air to fuel tank by a hand pump.
I. Preheater - Heats generator, which will then change liquid fuel to gas vapor.
J. Generator - Filters and converts liquid fuel into a gas vapor.
K. Burner - Spreads out the flame under the chamber of sterilizer.
L. Spare Generator - Extra generator for replacing.

- 34 -
2.2 How to Works
Fuel (gasoline) in the fuel tank is pressurized by a hand pump and pressurized fuel is heated
by a preheater. The generator is filters and changes the liquid fuel into vapor when it
becomes hot enough. The gas vapor is ignited by burner which heats the sterilizer.

2.3 Service before Operation

1) Clean the burner by wire brushing. Run cleaner by rocking motion through slots to
remove any burned on dirt. Refer to Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2. Burner Cleaning

2) Close preheater and generator valves (Figure 2-3) by turning clockwise.

Figure 2-3. Closing Valves

3) Take burner unit to lighting area 15m (50ft) away from gasoline area and stand unit on
end (Figure 2-4). Release air pressure by turning fuel filler cap slowly counterclockwise.
After air pressure is released, remove filler cap.

- 35 -
Figure 2-4. Servicing Fuel Tank

- 36 -
 4) Fill the fuel tank with 7.6 litters (8 qt) gasoline or until fuel can be seen at the bottom of
the fuel filler tube. Eight quarts of gasoline will burn for approximately 4 hours. Replace
filler cap and hand tighten. Place unit in horizontal position.

WARNING
When filling the fuel tank, do not smoke, and make sure there is no open
flame in the vicinity. Provide a metal-to-metal contact between the fuel tank
and the container. This will prevent a spark from being generated.

2.4 Starting the equipment

1) Take the burner unit to lighting area 15m (50ft) away from gasoline and sterilizing area.
Place unit in horizontal position.
2) Remove air valve cap. Pump hand pump until pressure gage reads 0.41 to 0.55 bar(6 to 8
psi). Remove pump and replace air valve cap. Check for leaks with soapy water.
3) When the safety valve device is installed, the start pressure to check valve is 4.1 bar(60
psi). If the valve does not release pressure, replace valve. Reset pressure on valve is 2.4
bar(35 psi).

4) Turn orifice cleaning control completely around 2 or 3 times. When done, handle will point
down.

5) Place lighted match close to preheater head and turn preheater valve one-quarter turn
counterclockwise and ignite. Allow to burn 5 to 7 seconds or until flame burns evenly.
Turn preheater valve fully counterclockwise.

- 37 -
6) Place preheater shield over preheater.

WARNING
The shield is hot, handling may cause injury. Heater shield should be handled
with care. Use glove to protect from injury.

7) Allow preheater to burn 10 minutes or until back end of generator is hot to touch.

8) Operate air control shutter lever to a half-open position.

- 38 -
9) Remove flame valve knob from holder and place on valve. Slowly turn flame valve knob
counterclockwise to a full open position.

NOTE
The burner will ignite when the flame valve is about half-open.

10) The burner will ignite. When lit remove the preheater shield. Use glove to protect from
injury.

11) Shut the preheater valve by turning full clockwise.

12) Turn flame valve clockwise until flame lowers to height of generator. Adjust air shutter
until flame is green in color. Place flame valve knob back in holder.
13) Carry burner unit to sterilizing area and place in sterilizer.

- 39 -
14) Remove flame valve knob from holder and place on valve. Readjust height of flame and
air shutter until desired sterilizing temperature is reached. Remove flame valve knob and
place in holder.

15) Operating pressure on gage is between 0.41 bar(6 psi) and 1.37 bar(20 psi).

- 40 -
 CAUTION
If pressure on gage reads between 1.37~1.72 bar(20~25 psi), turn flame down to
about one-half size, and continue operation for 1/2 hour. If pressure increases,
beyond 1.72 bar(25 psig), turn unit off, remove from cabinet, and allow to cool before
placing back in operation.

16) The safety valve device is designed to release if fuel tank air pressure exceeds 4.1
bar(60 psig). It will reset at approximately 2.4 bar(35 psig).

2.5 Stopping the Equipment

Remove the flame valve knob from the holder and place on the generator valve stem. Turn
the knob clockwise until tight. Remove flame valve knob and replace in holder.

WARNING
Do not release the fuel tank air pressure while the unit is lit, while smoking or
near on open flame.

2.6 Operation in Extreme Cold (Below -17.8℃, 0℉)

1) Initial tank pressure may need to be pumped until pressure reads 0.55 bar(8 psi) as
indicated on the air pressure gage.
2) Keep the fuel tank filled 7.6 liters(8 qt) of gasoline or until fuel can be seen at the
bottom of the fuel filler tube, when the burner unit is vertical and not in operation. This
will help to prevent moisture from accumulating in the fuel tank.
3) Adjust the air control shutter as required to insure a greenish color flame.
4) Remove any accumulation of moisture at regular intervals.

2.7 Operation in Extreme Heat

1). Never place more than 7.6 liters(8 qt) of gasoline in the burner unit. The unit is properly
filled when the fuel can just be seen at the bottom of the fuel filler tube. Overfilling does
not have sufficient space for expansion. During extreme heat tank pressure may be pumped
to 0.2 to 0.35 bar(3 to 5 psi) on gage.
2) If the unit is to be operated indoors, provide adequate ventilation.
3) Observe the air pressure gage often.

2.8 Operation in Dusty or Sandy Areas

1) Erect a protective shelter for the unit where possible. In temporary installations, take
advantage of natural barriers.
2) Where water is available, keep the immediate area wetted down. Keep the burner unit as
clean as possible and pay special attention to the burner unit.
3) Keep dirt and grit out of the fuel system and reserve fuel supply.

2.9 Operation under Rainy or Humid Conditions

When the equipment is operated outdoors, erect a shelter if possible. When not in use, the
unit will be covered with canvas or other waterproof material. Remove the cover during dry

- 41 -
 periods, open the doors and allow the unit to dry out. Keep the fuel tank filled with 7.6
liters(8 qt) of fuel.

2.10 Operation in Salt Water Areas

1) Keep equipment free of contact with salt water whenever possible. If contact is made, or
if equipment is exposed to salt spray, wash equipment frequently with clean fresh water.
2) Coat exposed surfaces of the burner assembly with corrosion preventive compound.

2.11 Operation in High Altitudes

Inspect the air pressure gage at more frequent intervals. Adjust the air control shutter as
needed to compensate for air pressure changes.

4.2 Repair
1) Generator
The purpose of generator is to filter and vaporize the fuel when using leaded or unleaded
fuel. 1kg(2 lbs) of steel wool is packed inside the generator to accomplish the filtering of
the fuel. To vaporize the fuel, the generator must be hot to convert the liquid fuel to
vapor and this is primarily done by the preheater, and after burner is ignited the heat from
the burner keeps generator hot. The normal life expectance of generator, when using
leaded fuel, is 450 to 500 hours. due to carbon buildup and gasoline lead deposits
replacement is required, usually during this time frame. Refer to Figure 5-1.
⑴ Removal; Loosen the filler cap to release air pressure. Remove top shield by unhooking
4 springs. Loosen nut at rear of generator and slide generator forward slightly and lift
generator from burner. Remove fuel feed tube located under nut.
⑵ Cleaning; Clean exterior of generator with wire brush and/or cloth with cleaning solvent.
Clean fuel feeder tube by rinsing in solvent and replace immediately to eliminate loss of
damage. Burner unit will fail to light if fuel feeder tube is lost, clogged or dented.
⑶ Repair; The only repair that can be done on the generator is repacking or repairing the
valve assembly. Take apart the generator valve stem, wire brush it and coat valve stem
threads and packing nut threads with anti-seized compound. Replace packing as needed
and reassemble valve. Special care must be used when replacing orifice nut on generator.
Valve stem should not protrude into orifice nut when replacing this nut. After hex nut is
tightened, then close generator or flame valve by turning clockwise.

NOTE
After repacking, tighten packing nut until a slight bind is felt when rotating generator flame
valve.

⑷ Replacement; Replace bad generator with one of the two spare generators attached to
the burner unit Remove the two screws and nuts that attach the spare generator to the
burner unit. Remove spare generator. Remove orifice protective cap and inlet protector
plug if not previously removed. Insert orifice end of generator into mixing chamber
opening and slide generator to the rear until orifice and mixing chamber mesh. Insert
generator inlet into fuel feed tube and tighten nut.

WARNING
Avoid breathing dust or fumes or placing generator to mouth. Never try to blow
air through the generator to remove any matter. dust and fumes could cause
lead poisoning. Always bury an unserviceable generator if in combat and follow
local policy during peacetime.

2) Burner
Refer to Figure 5-1. The purpose of the burner is to evenly distribute the flame. Fuel
vapors pass through the mixing chamber and out the burner slots and the vapor is ignited.
The burner slot is cleaned with a wire brush and slot cleaner. Use the slot cleaner in
rocking motion to prevent possible damage to slot, clean each slot carefully to remove all
carbon or foreign matter, wash burner with hot soapy water, rinse with clean boiling water

- 46 -
 and air dry. Coat the burner and unpainted parts with preservation oil. If the M2 burner
base needs painted, use aluminum paint only.
3) Mixing chamber and air shutter assembly
Refer to Figure 5-1. Clean the mixing chamber and air shutter assembly in cleaning
solvent and wipe dry. Lubricate air shutter after cleaning.
4) Preheater assembly
Refer to Figure 5-2. Disassemble the preheater assembly to the extent necessary to make
repairs. Disassemble in numerical sequence. In addition to replacing defective components
of the preheater assembly, the preheater valve may require packing.

NOTE
After repacking, inspect for leaks between packing nut and valves stem. Tighten packing nut as
required. Apply anti-seize compound to threads of preheater valve.

5) Fuel tank
Refer to Figure 5-3. Drain fuel tank by removing drain plug and standing tank with drain
down and slightly tipped to allow fuel to drain out of tank. Drain into an approved
container. During draining of fuel, remove filler cap on U-Tank. Clean the inside of fuel
tank with cleaning solvent. Drain fuel tank and keep it dry.
