CAULK LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Caulk is loaded into the Caulking Gun with a standard size cartridge.
WARNING:
Disconnect the Caulking Gun from the air supply before filling.
Loading A Caulk Cartridge
1. Unscrew the End Cap (12) from the Container Tube (11).
2. Remove the caps/lids from both ends of the caulk cartridge, and insert the cartridge
into the Container Tube (11) with the tip pointing out.
3. Replace the End Cap (12) to the end of the Container tube (11).
OPERATING THE CAULKING GUN
WARNING:
Before every use, prime the Caulking Gun by operating the Gun (see below)
until caulk flows from the tip. If it does not prime properly, follow the directions below for
venting trapped air.
1. Attach the Caulking Gun to the air source hose following the directions on page 3.
Regulate the airline pressure between 30 - 60 PSI.
2. Squeeze the Trigger (3) to begin the flow of caulk.
3. Release the Trigger (3) to stop the flow of caulk.
4. Disconnect from the air source hose before refilling the Caulking Gun.
Turn off the air compressor.
WARNING:
The Caulking Gun may still have air pressure after disconnected from the air source.
Point the Caulking Gun into a suitable receptacle and fire it until all of the air is expended.
OPERATION
Clean air of correct air pressure is recommended for the power supply for this tool. A
maximum of 90 PSI at the tool is recommended for most air tools of this class. Check
specifications section for recommended pressure. (Depending on length of air hose and
other circumstances, air pressure at compressor may need to be increased to 100 PSI to
ensure 90 PSI at the tool.)
Water in the air hose and compressor tank contributes to reduced performance and
damage of the air tool. Drain the air tank and filters before each use and as necessary to
keep the air supply dry.
Hose length over 25’ causes loss in line pressure. Increase hose I.D. or increase
compressor pressure to compensate for the pressure loss. Use an in-line pressure
regulator with gauge if air inlet pressure is critical.
