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
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
TrakFast 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 TrakFast 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 .
