INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Open the tap on the gas cylinder. The expansion valve should be positioned on 0 .

Open the expansion valve to position 4, 5 or 6 .

Press the button on the remote control to start a fire in the fire container.

When the fire is out, reset the expansion valve to 0 , to avoid any escape of unburnt gas.

If gas is still entering the fire container (a hissing sound will be heard), close the gas
cylinder tap.

While operating the remote control, always keep your eye on the fire container and
the people around it.
The remote control has an integrated safety system. It can only be operated by deliberately
pushing the control button. It will not operate accidentally if it is dropped or bumped.
WARNING:

The remote control must always remain in the in
structor’s hand. The instructor should
position himself close to the gas cylinder, ready to close it if there is a problem.

If the instructor finds it necessary to move away from the gas cylinder, he should designate
another person to remain close to it in order to close it if there is a problem.

The GF42 can be used with all types of extinguishing agents.

Be careful when using foam: foam traps the gas, which may catch fire again somewhere
else outside the fire container.

It is possible that a trainee might put the fire out, especially using a dry chemical
or CO² extinguisher.
WARNING:

Wait for a few seconds before re-lighting the fire after an operation, so that the unit will
no longer be saturated with gas.
•
Open the lid on the back of the
remote control, put a 9V battery in
the compartment and close the cover.
• Recyclable battery.
