  • Page 10 This appliance, like all other gas appliances, consumes air and produces combustion fumes that contain CO2 and CO. Exposure to high concentrations of the latter gas is lethal. Make sure there is sufficient ventilation in accordance with the amount of time the appliance is used (see «Technical Characteristics»). We recommend that the appliance be used in a room without specific pollution which has a minimum volume of 16 m³...
  • Page 11 The safety distance, the duration of exposure and the adjustment of the appliance for the different materials being handled, depend on the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the materials in question. Always contact your RIPACK distributor for all maintenance work and spare parts.
  • Page 12 The RIPACK 2100 propane works with propane according to the prin- ciple of atmospheric air burners induced at high speed (diagram B).

    FORBIDDEN WITH ALL USES LIQUID PROPANE GAS BOTTLE ON ITS SIDE (E.g Fuel forklift truck) The Ripack 2100 works with PROPANE gas in gas phase, contained in bottles of different ca- pacities. Use the largest possible bottles available. Always connect and disconnect the bottles a long way from any flames and ignition points.
  • Page 15: Connections

    CONNECTIONS Before connecting the SECURI- PACK to the gas bottle, make sure the sealing gasket is positioned cor- rectly for systems using this type of joint. In other cases, make sure the fitting is clean.

  • Page 17 NEVER WORK WHILE HOLDING THE RED BUTTON. The SECURIPACK automati- cally cuts off the supply of gas if the pressure drops below the minimum level necessary for the normal ef ficiency of the work. This is the case when: • The bottle is nearly empty (the gun can only be used for a few more minutes at reduced power: change the bottle);...
  • Page 18: Spare Parts

    SPARE PARTS THE COMPANY RIPACK SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE GUN IS DISMANTLED. Contact your dealer if the RIPACK 2100 needs to be dismantled. Only the procedures described in the maintenance chapter are authorised. EXAMPLES OF USE SHRINK-WRAPPING A LOADED PALLET Ask your film supplier for the operating instructions.
  • Page 19 SHRINK-WRAPPING RECOMMENDATIONS (in the absence of instructions provided by the film manufacturer): Remain at a distance of at least about 30 centimetres from the film and start shrink-wrapping the lower part of the four sides so the pallet is shrink-wrap- ped underneath.
  • Page 20 When you have stopped applying heat with the gun, the plastic film, because of its make-up, will continue to shrink for some time. This time will vary depending on the quality, the thickness and the type of load that has been wrapped. It is re- commended therefore that you wait until the cover has cooled off and everything is tight before moving the pallet.
  • Page 21 Start by heating the film in a continuous movement and then put pres- sure on this part to connect the two parts together. Once the joint has been made, continue the shrinkwrapping by holding the appliance at least 30 cm from the film. When doing this, be sure to follow the recommendations for shrink-wrapping.
