Inspection / Maintenance of the Zero-Thrust Gun
In order to minimize potential problems with the Zero-Thrust Gun it is
recommended that the gun be inspected and maintained at the end of each work
period:
1. Flush and rinse the gun with fresh water after each use in sea water.
2. If the unit will be used in the next 24 hours, place the gun in a container of
clean, fresh water. Ensure the gun is completely submerged.
3. If the gun will
not
be used for a period of several days, flush the gun as noted,
remove the whip hose from the super swivel. With the gun turned upside-
down, pour approx. 5ml of lubricating oil into the water inlet of the gun while
opening and closing the trigger to allow oil to reach the positioning pin and
valve cone. This will minimize the possibility of corrosion or mineral crystals
from forming that would freeze the pin or valve cone.
4.
Do not
use WD-40 for long term storage.
