PORTABLE ASPHALT MELTER/APPLICATOR - ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
OPERATION
10 Gallon Melter/Applicator
MARSHALLTOWN's Portable Asphalt Melter/Applicator is the
fastest and most efficient method for the application of hot applied crack
sealants. The RED704987 will also apply materials from stationary
kettles or any large melter. It can be used without heat for cold pour
materials. Equipped with steel wheels, and a spring loaded hand
controlled release valve. It has a steel shoe for striking off the sealant
with a uniform width. Comes with burner assembly, hose, regulator,
temperature gauge and platform for propane bottles (propane bottle
not included). Various shoe widths are available. This unit is easy to
maneuver for following cracks. No heavy dragging like other wheeled
applicators. Many times faster than hand held pour pots.
CAUTION! Safety precautions must be observed while using all MARSHALLTOWN equipment. Failure to
follow instructions can result in personal injury or damage to the equipment. Caution must be used at all times.

Keep applicator at least six feet away from combustible material. Remove product to be applied from the box and load it into kettle. If product has a
plastic bag it will melt into heated product when stirred.
Remove torch from kettle before lighting. Turn regulator to 8 PSI (Figure 1) to light torch. Open valve on torch and light using supplied torch flint
spark lighter (Figure 2). Never put lit torch into empty kettle. After lighting torch, insert it into the kettle heating chamber (Figure 3) on low pressure
without smothering the flame. Inserting torch when flame is running full pressure will likely smother flame before updraft begins. If that happens turn
off regulator and remove torch from chamber. Wait five minutes before re-lighting. This will allow for any unburned gas to vent, making it safe to reignite the torch.
Position the torch in the center of the burner chamber making sure to remove any obstacles or obstructions. As the torch starts to heat the chamber
the updraft will allow you to increase the flames intensity to the desired level.
Always follow block manufacturer's melting instructions. While heating, remember that heat penetrates the block of material slowly. The
Melter/Applicator is designed to draw off liquid for use as soon as the pouring temperatures are reached. (See manufacturer's recommendations for
material you are using). Waiting for the material blocks to completely melt is inefficient and time consuming. For best results material should be used
as it liquefies. Frequent stirring will speed melting rate. High flame or extended heating of some materials over 400 degrees can adversely affect the
elastomeric polymers.
Never allow material to exceed 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Flashing can occur when temperature exceeds 400 degrees. Regular operation
temperature can be achieved with the half of full flame. If material becomes too hot, remove the torch immediately and allow cooling to safe
operating temperature.

If flashing does occur, close cover, turn off gas and remove torch from chamber. Never use water on a hot applicator fire. Only use an approved
fire extinguisher rated for oil fires. It is important to have a proper extinguisher available at all times when using the applicator.
There is no need to drain the kettle after use. However, it is easier to start the next day with minimal leftover material. WARNING! Never allow torch
to fire in an empty kettle.
If the vent holes are covered while the torch is operating the torch will extinguish itself. Cover the applicator when not in use to prevent water from
collecting in the pan.
After each use inspect hose, regulator and torch for unusual wear, cracks and or blockages. Repair and or replace as needed.
