A 20 lb. propane tank will supply approximately 17,000 detonations.
To stop the cannon from firing, simply close the valve on the propane tank.
To start the cannon operating again, re-open the valve on the propane tank. The blast frequency will continue under the same
conditions previously set on the control knob.
NOTE
:
If birds and other wildlife have water, food, and nesting areas on your property or nearby, it may take longer to repel them from these areas.
Periodically changing the location of the cannon will increase its effectiveness. We recommend using the cannon in combination
with visual scare devices and other repellents in order to create a multi-sensory deterrent system.
Although the cannon works with both propane and butane gas, propane is recommended for temperatures below 46°F (8°C), as
butane does not work in colder conditions.
Regular maintenance will keep your cannon working at peak performance. It is recommended this be done at least once a month.
The built-in piezoelectric ignition system has a working life of about 150,000 sparks, which means an average life of 6–8 years.
The firing axle and other moving parts should be oiled frequently to prevent corrosion. If left unused for an extended period of
time, remove any dust that has accumulated on the cannon and oil any moving parts with fine machine oil.
Check for gas leaks at each connection point, including the propane tank valve, gas inlet hose, the membrane to the valve, and
around the membrane.
2. Operating your Guardian G2 Propane Cannon
After placing the cannon in the intended area of use, check for gas leaks at each connection point. There should be no presence of
gas with the propane supply tank fully open.
Blast frequency is set by adjusting the knob position on the provided regulator. Use the indicator lines (+ to –) on the control knob
to adjust the blast frequency between 30 seconds to 30 minutes. Turning the control knob fully counterclockwise (+) increases the
gas flow and decreases the time between blast intervals. The minimum time between blasts is approximately 30 seconds. Turning
the control knob fully clockwise (–) decreases the gas flow and increases the time between blast intervals. The maximum time
between blasts is approximately 30 minutes.
Fully open the valve on the propane tank. The initial 2–3 blasts may sound weak; however, subsequent blasts will resound at 120
decibels.
