Weed Destroyer BG 500
Do not change settings or make modifications made by the producer. It is dangerous to change the structure of the device on your own authority, to remove parts or to use parts which are not approved by the manufacturer.
Use with this device solely gas cartridges of 330 g, which correspond to the European Norm EN 417 (e.g. cartridge No. 70801, which is provided, or replacement cartridges No. 48810 + 52107). These standard gas cartridges can be obtained in building and home stores easily. It could be dangerous to try to attach other gas cartridges.
The device may only be used outside.
Steps to be taken before fitting the gas cartridge
Make sure that all attachments and other connections are correctly connected and nothing is damaged. Before attaching the gas cartridge ensure the gasket (No. 8, picture II) in the gas supply valve of the device (No. 6) is not missing and that it is in a good condition (visual check). This gasket guarantees a gas tight connection between the device and the cartridge. Ensure that parts where the gas flows are not damaged. Do not use a device with a damaged or worn out gasket. Do not use a leaking or damaged device or a device not working properly. Before fitting the gas cartridge, close the gas regulation valve on the device. It is very important that always before you light the flame on the burner, you make sure that all parts are tightly connected. Never look for a leaking spot with a flame but use soapsuds (e.g. 10 drops of washing-up liquid with water) or a leak seeking spray.
Very important!
Do not use the device in a way where the gas cartridge is held horizontally or where the cartridge valve is pointing downwards. In this case, liquid gas would stream into the burner, which would lead to a reddish blazing uncontrolled flame. It is possible that the burner will not work properly. The appliance has to be immediately positioned upright again (see picture I) with the cartridge valve pointing up and the gas regulation valve (No. 1) is to be closed. After 2-3 minutes the appliance is fully functional again. Do not shake the gas cartridge / device before or during operation as the liquid gas could stream out. Should the liquid gas stream out, close the gas regulation valve (No. 1) immediately. After 2-3 minutes the appliance is fully functional again.
Change the gas cartridge only when outside, far away from all possible combustible sources, as e.g. open fire, pilot lights, electric cooking appliances, and in a sufficient distance from other persons.
Test for Leaks
If gas leaks out of your device (you can smell gas), take it out immediately to a place with a good air circulation with no inflammable sources, where you can look for the leak and fix it. Be very careful to test gas tightness of your device only outside. Never seek leaking connections using a flame. Always spread soapsuds over the connections or use a leak-seeking-spray!
