using the procedure shown on page 20. Begin with screwing a Nozzle (4) into
the threaded insert on the Main Assembly (2). Twist with your hand until the
Nozzle (4) stops turning which is shown in the after images.

Step 2: Unscrew the Can Cap on the
bottom of the Main Assembly (2) in the
direction indicated.
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. Typically, you should
give the can another ½ turn after
hearing the pressure release.
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 or fail inside the Can Housing.
The Stinger® can only be used with proprietary Stinger® fluids, DO NOT attempt
to insert other cans into the Stinger®.
Step 4: After installing a can, be sure to
fully screw the orange Can Cap to the
Main Assembly (2) until hand tight.

Step 5: Power on the Receiver (3a) in the Main Assembly (2) by flipping the
Switch from the Off Position to On Position.
Make sure the power switch is in the
On postion
Step 6: Test fluid stream into a rag
away from equipment for proper
function.
Step 7: Attach the fully assembled
Stinger® to the hot stick using the
yellow universal toothed hot stick
adapter. Be sure to attach the Main
Assembly (2) at an appropriate angle
to easily aim stream of Stinger fluid to
the desired location. We recommend
you practice moving and operating
the stinger when the hot stick is fully
extended before using it in the field.

Step 8: Press the Button on the Transmitter (3b) to dispense the liquid. The
liquid will continuously stream out of the Nozzle (4) while the key fob transmitter
is pressed. If the LED does not go ON when the button is pressed, the batteries in
the button must be replaced. Note: The Transmitter (3b) exclusively connects to
the Receiver (3a) it came with in the Case (1).
Step 9: Turn the switch on the Receiver (3a) to the OFF position after use (see
Steps 6 to see what each switch position looks like). Remove the Nozzle (4) from
the Main Assembly (2). Place the Transmitter (3b) and Nozzle (4) back in the Case
(1).
Step 10: Remove the can cap then,
unscrew the can. Make sure the Main
Assembly (2) is upright to prevent the
Stinger® fluids from leaking onto your
clothes when the can is unscrewed.
Then reinstall the can cap.

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®. Simply apply to a
seized joint and let sit for 20-30 minutes to
ensure penetration and repeat if needed.
This fluid can be used on energized
equipment.
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®. 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. This fluid can be used on
energized equipment.
