Always contact your RIPAGREEN
®
distributor whenever carrying out maintenance
or changing spare parts.
Before using your RIPAGREEN
®
after a
period in storage or if it has not been used
for while
, check the thermal lance and the trolley thoroughly for any gas leaks,
clogging of the combustion nozzle or cuts in the hose. To find out which procedures
to follow, refer to the "Connections" and "Troubleshooting" sections.
Ensure you comply with the national regulations in force when transporting industrial
gas cylinders in a vehicle.
To
transport your gas cylinders
, make sure you:
-
Close the valves, even if the cylinders are empty.
-
Remove the equipment for transport.
-
Lash your cylinders down firmly.
-
Do not leave cylinders stored in your vehicle.
-
Use an appropriate vehicle (ventilated, with separation)
The RIPAGREEN
®
uses a High Velocity Heating System with air propane
gas diffuser.
It is lit by a piezoelectric igniter which acts when the gas supply is opened
by pressing the trigger, the only control device.
The RIPAGREEN
®
is a safe thermal lance which has a number of
safety
systems
.
o
Its original, patented design provides combustion without heating the
combustion nozzle (
cold nozzle
). In spite of this, when weeding, the
heat
reflected
from the ground causes a limited rise in temperature.
o
A
safety valve
system shuts off the gas inlet if the hose breaks or is torn
away.
o
A fail-safe, "dead man" device shuts off the gas automatically if the trigger
is released. This
stops the heat immediately
. This fail-safe device must
under no circumstances be blocked open by any means whatsoever.
o
A
trigger guard
prevents it being turned on inadvertently.
