FUEL CELL AND METERING VALVE

INSERTING FUEL CELL

With the Metering Valve Stem pointed toward the 
front of the tool, insert the Metering Valve/Fuel  
Cell Assembly . 

As you slide the Metering Valve/Fuel Cell Assembly 
into the GypFast tool, you will notice that there is a 
Red Adaptor at the top of the Cylinder Pocket . As 
is shown in the illustration, this Adaptor is designed 
to ensure that the Metering Valve Stem is properly 
aligned with the small hole, or orifice that leads to the  
Combustion Chamber . Insert the Metering Valve 
Stem into the orifice of the red colored Adaptor . 

You complete the loading of Fuel Cell in the 
GypFast tool by closing the Actuator Cover . You 
do this by swinging it up and over the Fuel Valve/
Cylinder Assembly and pushing down until the 
Actuator Cover snaps into position . 

OUTDOOR WEATHER AND THE  
GYPFAST TOOL 

Use the GypFast tool outdoors, in clear weather, 
when the Tool, Fuel Cell, and Battery are between 
20°F (-7°C) and 120°F (49°C) . Colder temperatures 
may damage the GypFast Tool and Battery . Hotter 
temperatures may damage the Tool and Fuel Cell . 
Fuel should be stored out of direct sunlight in  
surroundings less than 120°F (49°C) . After extended 
periods of continuous use, cool the Tool by running  
the Fan Motor . 

Operation when the Tool is less than 20°F (-7°C) 
may damage the tool . Fuel Cells at cold tempera-
tures lose the required propellant force . Bring 
the Tool, Battery, and Fuel Cell above minimum 
operating temperature without direct exposure to 
flame, and check the Battery . 

CAUTION

 

The GypFast tool should not be used in the  
rain or where excessive moisture is present .  
These conditions may result in damage to tool 
components and cause tool to malfunction .
