•
Once the fuel has filled the entire hose and the regulator gauge reaches 22 PSI,
the Excess Flow Device reopens and the heat tool is ready for operation (you
will hear an audible “click” from the POL when the pressurization is
complete).
•
This pressurization process can take anywhere from 7-10 seconds from when
the tank is first turned on and may take a little longer with propane tanks that
are partially filled. This feature is all for the safety of the user, but you must
wait the 7-10 seconds for the pressurization to complete before operation.
Attempting to Ignite the Heat Tool before Pressurization is Complete:
•
If the user attempts to fire the heat tool before the pressurization is complete,
the pressure gauge will drop down to 0 PSI and the heat tool will not ignite. In
order to ignite the heat tool, the user must wait for the system to pressurize (22
PSI) and then the heat tool will operate properly. *
This wait time will only
occur when the user first turns on the propane tank.*
WARNING: As the amount of propane in the tank drops, the pressure
gauge on the regulator will decrease accordingly. Do not operate the heat
tool once the pressure drops down to 15 PSIG. Operating the heat tool
below 15 PSIG, will result in damage to the heat tool’s internal components.
