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
car 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 cell.
• 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
TF1200 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 TF1200 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.
