The Tempest VentMaster is equipped with the 372XP Husqvarna power head. If the recommended Husqvarna XP 50:1 oil is used, it has a gas stabilizer in the mixture that increases storage time up to 120 days. Additional stabilizers should not be used.

The mixture should be 50:1 using a good quality petroleum-based oil such as that offered by Husqvarna. Never use synthetic oils in the fuel/oil mixture.

The Ventmaster can cut through wood framing, sheet metal, asphalt shingles, and green wood. It is even effective on metal roll up doors commonly found on industrial warehouses. It can also cut through car bodies, hoods, and windshields. Yes. Contact Tempest Customer Service at 800-346-2143 for more information on the Ventmaster 375-K rotary cutoff saw.

Yes, it will keep the fabric from tunneling. Tunneling is when you are sewing through fabric and the thread causes the fabric to create little mounds underneath the thread. To a certain degree, quilting will smooth it out again, but it won't do miracles. Stabilizer will help keep the fabric flat and is especially important with legs, beaks, and tails which are covered with stitching.

Yes. Tempest manufactures bars to fit a variety of chain saw makes and models and can upgrade most saws of recent manufacture.

The VentMaster uses a powerful 5.4 hp, 71cc Husqvarna power head modified by Tempest for Fire and Rescue use. It has the highest power to weight ratio and the least vibration of any power head on the market. It has proven its ability to stand up to the rigors of fire and rescue use.

We find three choices work for our customers: 1) iron-on interfacing (cut it in an irregular shape so that the edges of the interfacing won't stand out on the garment); 2) an iron-on tear-away stabilizer such as Sulky's "Totally Stable"; or 3) cut-away stabilizer, such as OESD heavy cutaway or (lighter weight) polymesh. On some knits you will improve results even further by adding a layer of water soluable stabilizer or topping on the top of your fabric. We say no.

That depends more on the type of oil you are using more than the brand or type of equipment. We recommend using a quality name brand of two-cycle oil, such as Stihl®, Echo® or Red Max. Different manufacturers make oil with different concentrations. Years ago, the standard was 20:1, then 32:1. Today, the best quality oil is usually 40:1 or 50:1. It is usually sold in bottles that are pre-measured for one, 2.5, or 5 gallons.

Yes, you can use any number of gases in your mixture. The instruction manual gives simple math to determine the linear "k-Factor" to apply to the reading if you purchased your meter for air and use it for a mixture of Nitrogen and Argon as an example. Feel free to click the Technical tab on the left to download the instruction manual that gives very good examples.

Yes, you can, in most situations. It depends on what damper kit you currently have. Our V.1 damper kits can be swapped from virtually any dirt bike or street bike to another. With the correct hardware, it can be done. The damper unit may be too stiff or even too soft, but that can be easily fixed by one of our GPR Tech service men. With our V.2 damper kits, it is a case-by-case situation depending on application. V.

If you have a version of the installer that is later than that released in sarge, proper rescue support is included, just boot the installer with "rescue" and follow the prompts until it mounts your hard disk and gives you a shell chrooted into your system.

Most lanterns are rated at 3451 BTU. They do not use a lot of gas. They simply keep a pretty flame glowing with soft light and use little more than a pilot light.

No. The member is responsible for ensuring the tank is at least one half full for the next user. If the gas level goes below 1/2, the member fills the tank and submits the receipt to The People's Car to have the cost deducted from their monthly bill. Return to top...

mentioned above, the Colonial Schipperke Club is very active in finding homes for "pre-owned" Schipperkes. These are Schips who for reasons normally not of their making, have lost their people. They may be lost or stolen dogs, dogs who suffer from the deaths or divorces of their owners, or dogs who are given up for a variety of reasons by their original owners. Colonial members often provide foster care or brokering services to match up these dogs with new owners.

First of all, you will not be rescuing a Bearded Collie unless you are actually out visiting shelters or searching dog pounds. More likely you will be adopting from Bearded Collie Rescue or another organization that has rescued the dog in some manner (from kill shelters, abandoned, or even from people who advise they are taking the dog to a shelter and offering Rescue a chance to take it before they do).

The VentMaster features the exclusive Raptor Carbide chain. It is a .404 (also available in .375) pitch; .063-gauge chain built to Tempest’s specifications and it is designed to cut through many materials encountered during fire and rescue operations. It features a dual, open raker design, which provides extra protection for the carbide cutter and allows the chain to self-clean and ventilate.

The VentMaster has a no load RPM of 13,000 and a no load chain speed of 108 feet per second. The power of the VentMaster power head maintains the critical speed of the chain in heavy cutting that allows the cutters to remain intact and to cut quicker.
