2. INJECTOR OPERATED BY LP-GAS PORTABLE
OR PROCESSOR
Refer Schematic Diagram No 3: Applicator setup for
operation by LP-Gas Portable or Processor.
WARNING: You must not t or use faulty, poor quality
or incompatible associated parts or components, and in
particular the use of a gas regulator and valve assembly
other than those components supplied with the product.
You must not repair, alter or modify the product, other
than those carried out by NJ Phillips Pty Limited or it’s
authorised agent, and in particular interference with or
modication in any way to the injector gas tube or other
components relating to the use of LP gas to operate the
product. Any occurence of these issues will VOID the
warranty. See warranty statement page 10.
a. Fill the gas cylinder with liquid propane gas (LPG).
WARNING: Gas cylinders must only be lled by
authorised lling agents.
NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL GAS CYLINDER: It is
important not to overll the gas cylinder as liquid gas
may enter the injector and freeze the trigger valve. When
lling, shut off the lling exhaust valve as soon as the
rst cloudy vapour is observed coming from the valve.
Do not ll until liquid gas is pouring out and freezing up.
If liquid gas enters the gas tube, release the regulator
tting on the gas tube, and the liquid will vaporise.
b. Connect the gas regulator and valve assembly to the gas
cylinder as covered by the instruction leaet supplied
with the regulator and valve assembly, and detailed in
sections 1 to 5 of that procedure.
c. Connect the gas tube to both the injector and the outlet
port on the regulator, and hand tighten.
Set the gas operating pressure at 414 to 550 Kpa (60-80
psi) on the pressure gauge as covered by sections 6 and
7 in the instruction leaet supplied with the regulator and
valve assembly.
NOTE: The gas pressure may require adjustment by the
regulator within the specied limits to achieve satisfactory
delivery of injectable products, and may vary depending
on climatic conditions, use of the injectable product in the
upright or inverted position, or the type of needle used.
d. The injector is now set up ready for the vaccine bottle to
be connected to the appropriate feed tube and the feed
tube to the injector.
e. Connect the one end of the feed tube to the inlet adaptor
on the applicator and the other to the draw off system.
Ensure the feed tube springs are securely screwed over
the feed tube in an anticlockwise direction. This will
prevent the feed tube kinking.
i. NOTE: The injector must only be used with the gas
cylinder placed in the upright or vertical position, so
that gas and NOT liquid LPG passes through the
valve on the gas tube. Otherwise the liquid LPG
will freeze up the valve and the injector will cease
to operate. In this case, release the regulator tting
on the gas tube for the liquid LPG to vaporise, then
re-tighten.
ii. It is essential, to prevent injury to the user, that you
refer to the WARNING STATEMENTS relating to
the use of the injector when operated by LP gas, as
covered in the Powermaster handbook page 2, and
the instruction leaet supplied with the regulator and
valve assembly, instructions for connection of gas
regulator to LP gas cylinder.
f. To prime the injector set the dose at 15ml and with the
instrument held vertically with the needle pointed upwards
depress the trigger a number of times until the injectable
product is expelled from the needle in an unbroken
stream and all air bubbles have been eliminated from
the cylinder.
g. To Set Required Dose:
iDose levels and application of the injectable product
must be set in accordance with the pharmaceutical
manufacturer’s administration instructions.
ii. Turn the dose adjustor in an anticlockwise direction to
decrease dose, and a clockwise direction to increase
the dose, as indicated by graduations on the dose
adjustor sleeve.
iii. To be sure of complete accuracy, the dose must be
checked with a calibrated measuring cylinder.
iv. Cylinder ll rate and delivery pressure can be varied
with adjustment to the gas pressure on the regulator
between 414 to 550 Kpa (60 - 80 psi).
The minimum pressure should be used to achieve
acceptable lling rate and delivery speed.
h. The injector is now set up ready for the injectable
treatment of livestock.
i. WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure the liquid
does NOT come into contact with any part of the
operators body. Chemicals may injure the operator.
WARNING: At the close of each days work, or
on completion of treatment of livestock, to avoid
possible unsafe or hazardous situations, the
regulator valve must be fully closed by turning in a
clockwise direction, as indicated

3. APPLICATOR OPERATED BY COMPRESSED AIR
Refer Schematic Diagram No 4 page 6: Applicator setup
for operation by compressed air.
When compressed air is used to operate the injector for the
treatment of livestock, to prevent moisture and or other foreign
matter entering the applicator and affecting the operation of the
trigger valve system, the manufacturer strongly recommends
that an approved lter/lubricator suitable for compressed
air systems, MUST be installed in the compressed air line
connected to the regulator and applicator. Otherwise, moisture
and or foreign matter will enter the trigger valve system
(diag. 2-32) of the applicator, which will cease to operate in
a satisfactory manner. Warranty claims will not be accepted
for damage caused by moisture or foreign matter entering the
trigger valve system due to the installation of an unapproved
lter/lubricator.
The manufacturer recommends 10mm inside diameter
compressed air hose and suitable 10mm ttings should be
used for connection of the applicator pressure regulator to
the compressed air supply hose, and the compressor unit
supplying the compressed air to the applicator be set to
operate at a maximum of 690 Kpa (100 psi).
a. Connect the regulator assembly to one end of the
compressed air hose by a suitable hose clamp, and
connect an approved compressed air in line lter/lubricator
to the other end of the compressed air hose at the outlet
from the air compressor.
b. Connect the 10m air line (diag. 1-2) to both the applicator
and the outlet port on the regulator and hand tighten.
c. Turn on the air compressor, and when the air pressure
has reached its operating level (max 690 Kpa - 100 psi),
fully open the brass inlet valve on the regulator by turning
in an anticlockwise direction.
d. Set the air operating pressure of the applicator at 414 to
550 Kpa (60 - 80 psi) on the pressure gauge by turning the
black control knob on the regulator in a clockwise direction
to increase pressure. If the pressure is too high, reduce
by turning the black control knob in an anticlockwise
direction, operate the applicator a few times, and adjust
for optimal pressure setting. When the optimal air pressure
is achieved, fasten the lock nut on the black control knob
screw against the regulator body with a 12mm AF open
ended spanner.
NOTE: The air pressure may require adjustment by the
regulator within the specied limits to achieve satisfactory
delivery of injectable products, and may vary depending
on climatic conditions, use of the injectable product in the
upright or inverted position, or the type of needle used.
e. The injector is now set up ready for the vaccine bottle to
be connected to the appropriate feed tube and the feed
tube to the injector.
f.Connect the one end of the feed tube to the inlet adaptor
on the applicator and the other to the draw off system.
Ensure the feed tube springs are securely screwed over
the feed tube in an anticlockwise direction. This will
prevent the feed tube kinking.
g. To prime the injector set the dose at 15ml and with the
instrument held vertically with the needle pointed upwards
depress the trigger a number of times until the injectable
product is expelled from the needle in an unbroken
stream and all air bubbles have been eliminated from the
cylinder.
h. To Set Required Dose:
i. Dose levels and application of the pour-on product
must be set in accordance with the pharmaceutical
manufacturer’s administration instructions.
ii. Turn the dose adjustor (diag. 2-17) in an anticlockwise
direction to decrease dose, and a clockwise direction
to increase the dose, as indicated by graduations on
the push rod (diag. 2-15).
iii. To be sure of complete accuracy, the dose should be
checked with a calibrated measuring cylinder.
iv. Cylinder ll rate and delivery pressure can be varied
with adjustment to the compressed air pressure on
the regulator between 414 to 550 Kpa (60 - 80 psi).
The minimum compressed air pressure should be used to
achieve acceptable lling rate and delivery speed.
i. The applicator is now set up ready for the injectable
treatment of livestock.
j. WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure the liquid
does NOT come into contact with any part of the
operators body. Chemicals may injure the operator.
WARNING: At the close of each days work, or on
completion of the pour-on treatment of livestock,
to avoid possible unsafe or hazardous situations,
the regulator valve must be fully closed by turning
in a clockwise direction, as indicated by arrow on
the valve, and turn off the air compressor. Failure
to do this may result in excess pressure build up in
the regulator causing it to fail which may injure the
operator.

PAGE 8
To ensure continued high performance from the injector, attention to cleanliness is essential, both for the protection of the
user and livestock. On completion of each use of the injector the injector and feed tube MUST be thoroughly cleaned in
