Choosing the correct power supply outlet First determine electrical power required for your particular unit, 120 volts or 240 volts. Afteryou have determined the power supply required, you will need to choose the correct electrical outlet for the unit. In choosing an outlet, a circuit with a 20 amp breaker or greater Is best suited for the unit.

6 When possible the SMART Ash unit must be the only appliance on the circuit, due to the high amperage draw. 120 volt units will draw 14 amps when running and nearly 30 amps at start-up. 240 volt units levels will be about half of that of the 120 volt units. Saf-Start mechanisms are Installed on SMART Ash units to guard against Improper start of the unit after a power Interruption has occurred. The Saf-Start Is a very sensitive electrical control device. When there Isa power Interruption or fluctuations In the power supply that are below recommended levels, the unit will disengage. Fluctuations for only a spilt second below recom-mended levels will cause the Saf-Start to disengage. What happens when the unit power supply switch Is turned on and the Saf-Start disengages but does not cause the circuit breaker to disengage? This is caused when the voltage drops below recommended levels for a spilt second, because of the high amperage draw made by the unit at start-up.

7 Unplugging of one or more appliances on the circuit if possible may solve this problem, If not, use another outlet on a different circuit If possible. If you have recurring problems of this nature an electrician to check line voltage drops at start-up, and amperage draw when the unit Is running, to Isolate the problem. 7 SMART ASH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SELECTING A DRUM Use standard OPEN HEAD 55 GALLON DRUM In good condition with undamaged lip. Lid will not fit a "de-headed" 011 or chemical drum. Do not pierce holes in drum. Even if drum Is standard, lid still may not fit because drum is out of round. Check drum and correct as follows: 1. Measure across top of drum in several directions. If there is a differ-ence of more than 1/4" in measurements, drum is egg-shaped and needs to be trued up. 2. To true up, place drum on Its side with "long" measurement vertical. Lean on rim and use body weight to depress rim. 3. Re-measure drum and repeat process until correction is made.

8 Paint on ordinary drum will smoke and possibly burn when drum is first used. Paint will flake off, leaving drum without rust protection. It should always be stored Indoors in clean dry place. Properly cared for, drum will have satisfactory service life. GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH SMART ASH study the SMART Ash parts list and Ipentify the major parts which will be referred to in these instructions. Two blowers behind the motor cover draw air Into the plenum. The air feeds to the drum through the air hose and lid .. The lid has two elements to block emissions of burning material; the spark screen on top, and an Internal spark deflector which can be seen beneath the exhaust vent in lid. Four clamps hold the lid in place during burning. Another moveable part on the lid is a porthole cover, which pivots off the porthole to permit observation of the fire and stirring or stoking with the stir rod supplied. It is moved easily from closed to open by rapping its side with the factory supplied stir rod.

9 Attached to the plenum is a lever which controls airflow to the burn chamber. Air reaching the burn chamber is regulated by this control latch which controls the blowers output. 8 Variation in air flow can be felt by holding your hand near the exhaust vent while changing throttle position. Before the first SMART Ash burn, the operator should practice mounting lid on drum and securing it with clamps. The manufacturer highly recommends the operator to walk through the Ignition procedure a few times prior to the first burn to fully acquaint him with the system operation. The SmartAsh is equipped with a Saf-Start Unit. This safety precaution prevents the SMART Ash from restarting automatically after a power interruption, even if the equipment switch Is left in the "on" position. Such a restart could cause damage to eqUipment and Injury to persons. Note: The Saf-Start unit button must be reset every time the unit is plugged In. As with the beginning of a burn.

10 SMART ASH OPERATION Required accessories: three-wire outdoor electric extension cord, safety glasses, high temperature gloves (ie. welding gloves) lighter and several sections of newspaper or cardboard. Cord wire should be no lighter than 18 GA. under 25 ft. or 16 GA. under 50 ft. PREPARING TO BURN 1. Select a site removed from buildings, hedges and trees. Place SMART Ash on bareground, gravel, or concrete. Do not burn on new blacktop, lawn or ground with dry vegetation. 2. Position SMART Ash so cart and air supply (and operator) are upwind and drum downwind. Place lid on ground. 3. Connect SMART Ash plug to extension cord and cord to grounded electrical outlet. Depress the reset button on Saf-Start plug. To prevent accidental interruption of burning install cord lock and arrange slack in cord beneath plug in. NOTE: If there is a power in)erruption during the operation of your SMART Ash Unit follow the steps below for restart. A.
