Installation
Place the heater over the drum using the hook and chain to hang the unit from the drum rim.
Mount unit at base of drum.  Tighten the clamp springs after closing clamp to ensure a tight
fit and maximum heat transfer to the contents of the drum.  Do not allow cord to contact
heater surface.  Before energizing the heater, make sure drum contents are above the top
edge of the heater.  If the material level falls below the heater the unit may not cycle and
life will be reduced.

Connection
115 Volt/2000 Watt and 230 Volt/3000 Watt Drum are equipped with a SPECIAL 3 wire
plug for extra safe operation.  For 115V/2000W use a Hubbell single outlet #5361 or equal.
For 230V/3000W use a Hubbell single outlet #5661 or equal.

Operation
When heating a material for the first time, the material temperature should be monitored with
a temperature indicating device and the final drum heater control setting recorded for future
reference.  The material should be mixed to get an accurate temperature since the material
near the outside of the drum will heat faster than the material near the center.   This initial
set-up should be done with the three heat switch set on high.  If the material you are heating
exhibits excellent heat receptivity you may maintain your desired temperature with the three
heat switch set on medium or low, thus reducing power consumption.

• Use on all metal drums only.
• For use indoors only.
• Do not use to heat flammable materials.
• Do not use in hazardous areas.
• Vent container to prevent pressure build-up.
