Quick Start Guide

Stgr-Hornet Manual Rev. A.1
Step 1:Take the Stinger® Hornet out of the Case.
Step 2: Remove the (yellow)
Can Cover on the bottom of
the Stinger® Hornet by
rotating counter-clockwise
turn and removing.
Step 3: Fully screw in the threaded top of the
appropriate Stinger® Fluid Can (1FR™,
2C™,3PAO™) with your hand until hand tight. It
is normal to hear a pressure release sound
before the can is fully screwed in. Warnings: If it
is hard to screw in the can, remove the can and
try again. DO NOT FORCIBLY SCREW IN THE CAN.
If the can isn’t fully screwed in, the can could
leak. The Stinger® Hornet can only be used with
proprietary Stinger® fluids, DO NOT attempt to
insert other cans into the Stinger®Hornet.
Step 4: After inserting a can,
be sure to re-install the yellow
Can Cover. Slide over the can,
up to the Stinger® Hornet and
rotate clockwise until the
cover latches.

Step 5: Power on the Stinger® Hornet by flipping the Switch from the Off Position to
On Position.
Step 6: Attach the fully assembled Stinger® Hornet to
the hot stick using the toothed hot stick adapter (Hot
Stick Adapter) on the bottom of the Stinger® Hornet.
Be sure to attach the Stinger® Hornet at an
appropriate angle to easily aim stream of Stinger®
fluid to the desired location. Use the Hornet
Extension if needed.
We recommend you practice moving and operating
the Stinger® Hornet when the hot stick is fully
extended before using it in the field.
The Stinger® Hornet Kit includes a
hot stick adaptor extension that can
be used for additional positioning of
the Stinger® Hornet. The Extension
is installed between the Hornet and
the hot stick using the included
screw and wing nut.

Step 7: Press the Button on one of the Keyfob Transmitters provided to disperse
the liquid. The liquid will continuously stream out of the nozzle while the Keyfob
Transmitter is pressed. If the Keyfob Transmitter LED does not flash ON when
the button is pressed, the batteries in the Keyfob Transmitter must be replaced.
Step 8: Turn the Stinger® Hornet power OFF after use.
Step 9: After the Can Cover is
removed, unscrew and
remove the can. Make sure
the stinger® Hornet is upright
to prevent the Stinger® fluids
from leaking onto equipment
or personnel when the can is
unscrewed. Re-install the Can
Cover.
Step 10: Place the Stinger® Hornet into the Case and close the Case. Make sure
this manual is in the Case when not in use.

Stinger® Fluid Overview

Stgr-Hornet Manual Rev. A.1
1FR - Penetrant
Stinger® Fluid 1FR is a fast-acting penetrant
that frees corroded disconnect switches,
bushings, and bolts. 1FR has a proprietary
threaded top which only allows it to be
used in the Stinger® Hornet. Simply, apply
to a seized joint and let sit for 20-30
minutes to ensure penetration and repeat
if needed
2C - Cleaner
Stinger® Fluid 2C is a switch and contact
cleaner. 2C has a proprietary threaded top
that allows it to only be used in the
Stinger® Hornet. This fluid can be used on
energized equipment. DO NOT use on
polycarbonate plastics, this cleaner can
harm plastics.
3PAO - Lubricant
3PAO is a high-quality synthetic lubricant,
containing anti-wear additives. It is great
for lubricating seized parts, such as gears
and knuckles. After using 1FR to open the
switch, 3PAO may be used to make the
switch move freely and ensure it closes
properly.
