FUEL CELL AND METERING VALVE
Fuel Cell
DANGER
EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD
Read ALL safety instructions
before using or handling the
fuel cell . Failure to follow ALL
instructions may result in
explosion or fire . This may cause severe personal
injuries or property damage .
Keep the fuel cell away from
heat, sparks and open flame .
Exposure to temperatures above
120°F (49°C) may cause the fuel
cell to burst, releasing flammable
gas .
WARNING
• Sunlight can raise the inside temperature of
an unventilated truck or van to above 140°F
(60°C).
• Do not puncture or attempt to open the fuel
cell; it is non-refillable.
• Do not incinerate, reclaim or recycle the
fuel cell.
• Do not smoke while installing or removing
the metering valve.
• Do not inhale the spray.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Store fuel cell(s) in well-ventilated areas only.
• Do not reuse metering valve.
There is a second container inside the fuel cell .
The inner container holds the fuel . The space
between the inner container and the outer cylinder
is filled with a gas, called the propellant, which is
under pressure .
To eject the fuel, propellant pressure squeezes the
inner fuel container, much as you squeeze a tube
of toothpaste . This squeezing action ensures that
all the fuel is used, and that the GypFast tool can
operate in any position .
Because of this container-within-a-container design,
you might hear the sound of fluid when shaking
the fuel cell after all the fuel has been used . This
is the propellant, which remains between the
containers even after all the fuel has been expelled .
If you expose the empty fuel cell to extreme
temperatures, the propellant gas will expand
and could cause the container to burst, releasing
flammable gases .
Metering Valve
The metering valve contains a fuel metering
system to inject the correct amount of fuel into
the combustion chamber .
The
red
metering valve is the only valve that will
operate properly with the GypFast tool .
NOTE:
1 . Do not attempt to reuse the metering valve!
Replace with fresh fuel cell/valve, and dispose
of spent cell/valve properly .
2 . When replacing fuel cell also clean or replace air
filter for optimum tool operation .
Attaching Metering Valve to Fuel Cell
To attach the metering valve to a fuel cell:
1 . Press downward on the front side of the valve
(stem side) until it seats .
2 . Press downward on the rear of the valve unit it
seats .
3 . The valve is now completely seated on the fuel
can and can be inserted into the tool .
