TRAKFAST REPAIR MANUAL

Rev. 09/07

TOOL OPERATION 

START and PRE-COMBUSTION

When lower probe (E) is pressed against the work 

surface, cage (F) is forced against the spring (G). 

Combustion chamber (H) is raised up against 

cylinder head (I), and O-Rings (J & M) seal off the 

combustion chamber, creating an air tight seal.

This initial movement, pressing the lower probe 

against the work surface, causes the fuel cell/meter-

ing valve assembly to pivot. This meters a precise 

amount of fuel through the cylinder head and into 

the combustion chamber cavity (K).

As the combustion chamber is raised, fan/enable 

switch (L) is depressed and the chamber lockout 

bar is moved out of the way of the cam. The fan 

starts and mixes air with a metered amount of fuel 

to provide a combustible mixture.

The chamber lockout bar prevents the trigger from 

being activated until the lower probe is pressed 

against the work piece, raising the combustion 

chamber.
