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. 

-

-

 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

 

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. 

 

trigger guard

 prevents it being turned on inadvertently.
