Care, Maintenance and Storage

To ensure the continued high performance of your gun, always clean and lubricate the gun immediately after use. Start by reading the cleaning instructions provided by the fluid manufacturer. Remove the inlet tube from the fluid container and empty the fluid from the gun and inlet tube. Place the end of the inlet tube in a mixture of warm water and a little dish washing detergent, then flush about 1 litre through the gun until it is clean. Flush again with clean water. Inspect the inlet valve and outlet valve and ensure they are clean. Remove the barrel and wipe any residue from the barrel with a soft tissue. Important – Lubricate the valves, piston O-ring, and barrel with a small amount of vegetable oil after cleaning and before storing the gun. Periodically remove the valves and wash in warm water and dish washing detergent. To access the inlet valve, unscrew the front of the inlet valve housing. To access the outlet valve, remove the nozzle and cap then use a small screwdriver to release the C-shaped valve retainer, being careful not to damage it. Be sure to refit it after cleaning as the outlet valve will not function without it. Wipe the exterior of the gun with a damp cloth and dry off. Do not submerge the gun in water when cleaning. Store the gun in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Recommended storage temperature is from -10° to 35° C (14° to 95° F). Store above 0° C for optimum battery performance. If batteries are in a low charge state, fully charge them before storage.
Remove the batteries before storing the gun.

Charging the batteries

The Te Pari Revolution Dosing Gun is supplied with an intelligent charger that can recharge both lithium-ion batteries at once.

• Remove the battery clip from the base of the gun handle by squeezing in both sides of the clip and gently pulling the clip out.
• Fit each of the batteries into the charger by pulling down the spring loaded retainer, slotting the battery in, and then releasing the retainer. The negative terminals go on to the spring loaded end, with the positive terminals going nearest the lights.
• Connect the charger to a standard mains supply using the cable provided and switch on. The charger’s lights will run up and down while the battery type, state, and charge required is determined. A 12-volt cigarette lighter cable is also provided to power the charger in a vehicle. The charger’s lights will flash slowly in orange showing the charge progress. When all three LED lights are lit a steady green the batteries are fully charged and ready for use.
• Before reloading the batteries, ensure that the contacts inside the gun’s battery clip are clean and dry.
• Squeezing the sides of the battery clip, push it back into the gun handle. The clip only fits into the gun in one direction; with the curved end facing forwards.
• Ensure that the polarity symbols match (+ to + and – to -) as marked on the clip and the batteries.

A. Gun handle bottom
B. Battery clip. Squeeze the sides of the tabs
on the clip to remove or refit into the handle. Note the white terminal
markings.
C. The two lithium-ion 18650 batteries. On this type, the black band is on the positive end, but this may vary from other makes, so be sure
to check before fitting.
D. The curved end of the clip goes to the curved end of the handle when refitting the battery clip.
