BAX 250 MELTER
INTRODUCTION
The CRAFCO BAX 250 MELTER was developed to melt CRAFCO Brand Sealant.
However, it will work equally well with all road asphalt and federal specification crack or
joint sealant.
DO NOT operate machine without following these instructions:
1. Fill propane tank.
2. Check engine crankcase oil level (refer to Engine Operator’s Manual).
3. Check hydraulic fluid level, at ambient temperature. Add fluid if necessary to bring
to correct level.
4. All toggle switches should be turned “OFF” and all temperature control dials at
minimum settings.
5. Remember that safe operation of this equipment is the operator’s responsibility.
CAUTION:
Extreme care must be used when operating this equipment. Safety is the result
of being careful and paying attention to details. Remember the propane flame is
about 2,200°F. Certain exposed parts of this machine, when operating reach
500°F.; the sealant as high as 400°F. and the hydraulic fluid may reach 200°F.
Always wear protective clothing, hard-soled shoes, and eye protection. Be sure
that all joints and fittings are tight and leak proof. Immediately replace any hose,
which shows any signs of wear, fraying, or splitting. Tighten all bolts, nuts, and
screws every 250 hours.
