The RIPACK S ERIES 3000 propane works with propane according to the
principle of atmospheric air burners induced at high speed (diagram B).
Ignition is performed using a piezoelectric lighter that is activated
simultaneously with the release of gas activated by the trigger, which is
the sole operating mechanism.
The RIPACK S ERIES 3000 is a gun incorporating several safety
mechanisms:
o A security valve system cuts off the gas supply in the event that
the hose breaks or tears.
o An automatic safety device (so-called dead man's switch) cuts
the supply of gas automatically if the trigger is released. This
stops the heating immediately. This dead man's device must
never be blocked in the open position in any way.
o A guard in front of the trigger prevents untimely operation
