    How To

    • Secure melter on level ground or trailer; verify electric brakes and lug locks are engaged.
    • Confirm fuel supply type (propane or diesel) matches burner configuration; connect and test for safe delivery.
    • Open dual loading doors and rear spout; ensure agitator and material paths are clear.
    • Initiate burners per configuration; monitor heat-up progress via material softening indicators.
    • Load material once thermal mass equalizes; use rear spout and loaders through doors.
    • Start agitator (engine or electric) when material begins melting for consistent flow.
    • Monitor surface temperatures and efficiency indicators; target ~85 % efficiency based on output.
    • If equipped, activate Viking pump when material reaches full molten state.
    • Post-operation, turn off burners, allow melter to cool, empty remaining material, and prepare for transport.
