MACHINE FEATURES

1. This machine has a control box, so the machine can be placed in the back of an open bed truck and

operated by a passenger in the vehicle.

2. Start-up is simple

The 12V DC battery of the truck is used by connecting it to the control box. Then you simply press the

start and fuel button at the same time, and the machine will start.

3. Durability of the machine

This machine is made almost entirely of Stainless Steel (chemical tank, fuel tank etc), which prevents

corrosion due to chemical, and fuels.

4. It is not necessary to use additional battery because you can use the battery of the vehicle.

5. Little Heat Generation

The machine has been designed so it is cooled by two air-intake valves that are connected to the fuel

ignition part of the machine. This allows the machine to remain cool during use.

6. Strong Igniter

The igniter uses a 12V DC battery so that starting the machine is quick and easy.

7. Easily Repaired

All components are designed for easy assembly/disassembly, the fuel line is made of a transparent

material. And the spark plug is easily seen, so it is easy to spot problems when they happen.

HOW TO USE

1. Items to check before using

a. Make sure fuel and chemical caps are tightly closed (The machine will not operate if they are not)

b. Make sure the connecting wires are tightly connected to the main body. (main body connector,

power connector, chemical coupling etc.)

2. How to start-up

a. Turn on power by ﬂipping power switch up, red light is on the power lamp should come on.

b. To start the machine, hold the start button down while continuously pumping the fuel button. It is

operating when the green light appears on the control box.

c. If it does not operate, press the start button repeatedly until it in makes a ‘vroom’ sound which

means combustion is occurring in the carburetor.

d. Repeat steps a to c, until it starts.

3. How to spray chemical

a. Flip chemical switch up after the machine is started.

b. Adjust the spray to the right amount of the chemical by using the chemical adjustment valve.

4. When you are ﬁnished using the machine

a. Flip the chemical spray switch down.

b. You should wait for about 10 seconds.

c. And ﬂip the fuel button down.

d. Open the chemical tank cap.

5. What to do when use is complete

a. Clean the heat pipe with the cleaning rod. Insert the rod then turn it in a clockwise motion, in order

to prevent damage to the machine.

b. If carbon has collected in the spark plug, take out the plug and remove the carbon. (When

replacing the plug make sure it maintains a 2-3mm gap)

1. Completely empty the chemical and fuel tanks, then clean them thoroughly by the following method. Fill

with acetone liquid, screw the caps completely shut and leave for one hour. Put light oil, or water in the

chemical tank then operate it by spraying. Then clean any remaining sediment in the chemical tank.

2. Clean the residue from the chemicals by using an acetone liquid. Clean the residue due to oil by using

gasoline.

3. Set it in an upright position (with the start button pointing towards the ceiling) and cover it with vinyl to

protect it from dirt and other foreign materials.

1. Do not add gasoline or chemicals into the machine while it is hot.

2. When spraying poisonous chemicals, wear a mask. If you are going to reuse the mask make sure it is

thoroughly cleaned after every use.

3. When the machine is not running, make sure the chemical valve and the fuel valve are closed on the

control box because there is possibility of ﬁre.

HOW TO CHECK/REPAIR MACHINE IN CASE OF PROBLEMS

Cause How to Check Solution

1. Gasoline doesn’t

ﬂow freely due to a

blocked fuel nozzle.

It is normal when the gasoline

ﬂows evenly when the start

button is pressed or pumped

Clean the fuel nozzle opening

with a thin metal wire.

Replace the o-ring of the fuel

nozzle clean the fuel nozzle

completely.

2. When gasoline does

not go through the

fuel ﬁlter.

Normally gasoline goes through

the fuel ﬁlter right away when

the start button is pressed or

pumped.

Replace and clean the fuel ﬁlter

if it does not.

3. Defective rubber liner

of the fuel tank check

valve.

• It is normal. If air goes in one

direction but cannot go out

the way it came in, does not

leak from the check valve of

the main body of the machine

causing blowing or a sucking

sound.

• It is defective if the side of

the liner is torn or swollen.

Replacement should be

performed carefully to

guarantee that the air only exits

the machine in one direction. To

check the liner put your tongue

in the middle of it and when

blow, air should move freely

through the liner.

If you try to suck air through the

liner using the same method

as above no air should move

through the liner.

4. The air pump is not

working well when

you don’t have

enough air exiting

the machine.

• The machine is normal

when strong wing exits the

machine, when the start

button is pressed.

• Check if air pump hose is

properly inserted.

• Check to see if the air pump

hose is securely attached.

• Replace air pump.

5. Insufﬁcient battery

charge is happening

when the battery

does not operate the

motor and ignition

after being changed.

• The charge is normal when

a strong spark occurs hen

touching +and-terminals of

the battery to each other.

• Check to see if the voltage

falls in the following range:

9V+for manual and 12V+for

automatic.

• Replace or recharge the

battery.

• Charge the battery until the

red signal light ﬂickers in

the automatic mode. If the

signal light doesn’t ﬂicker

then check the charger and

connections.

6. Damaged rubber

packing on the fuel

cap or the cap doesn’t

screw closed tightly.

• The cap is defective when the

user must hold the cap with his/

her hand to start the machine.

• Rubber packing is swollen.

• Replace packing

• Make sure the cap is closed

completely.

7. Leaking air from the

nipple.

To check use soap and water

to ﬁnd where the air is leaking

from then replace the nipple

from which the air is leaking.

Replace the nipple

8. Insufﬁcient gasoline

or chemical/foreign

materials in the fuel

tank.

Check out fuel tank

• Clean the fuel tank

completely

• Change the gasoline

9. Carbon build up in the

thermal pipe.

Check to see if this is the

problems by using a ﬂashlight.

If this is the problem then clean

the thermal pipe completely

with the cleaning rod.

Check the spark plug and if

there is a carbon build-up

remove it with a screwdriver.

B. When air leaks and makes a puck or when sound and the machine won’t start.

Possible damage to the thermal pipe. Check to see what the damage is by using a ﬂashlight.

To correct this problem replace the thermal pipe.

C. Chemical spraying won’t work after the machine is started.

Cause How to Check Solution

defective if the side of the packing is torn or swollen. You should then replace

the packing in the chemical check valve.

To check the liner, put your tongue in the middle of it and when you blow, air

should move freely through the liner. If you try to suck air through the liner

using the same method as above no air should move through the liner.

2. Blockage of the

chemical spray

pipe

If you separate the chemical spray pipe from

the chemical nozzle and the chemicals do

not came out of the chemical tank then the

chemical spray pipe could be blocked.

Using an air compressor,

blow the obstruction out of

the pipe.

3. Blockage of the

chemical nozzle

If you separate the chemical spray pipe from

the chemical nozzle and then chemicals do

not come out of the chemical tank then the

chemical nozzle could be blocked.

• Replace chemical nozzle.

• Clean chemical nozzle

with a thin metal wire.

4. Blockage of the

chemical valve.

If you separate the chemical spray pipe from

the chemical valve and then the chemicals do

not come out of the chemical tank then the

chemical valve could be blocked.
