Operating Instructions
Page 9
Without an EZ-LOADER
The Hydraulic Hand Pump must be prepared for loading as previously instructed with the Piston
Assembly #2 at the top of the Sealant Barrel #3 and the By-Pass Valve #7 opened.
Follow these instructions:
1. Remove the cap from the cartridge.
2. Place the opened end of cartridge over the OUTSIDE of Sealant Barrel #3 (the Sealant Barrel #3 goes
inside the cartridge).
3. Place the Hydraulic Hand Pump on the floor in an upright position with the cartridge at the top.
4. Place your palm over the end of the cartridge then slowly push the cartridge down over the Sealant Barrel
#3, until the cartridge has bottomed out (feel the cartridge for the top of the Sealant Barrel #3, the larger
(16) sixteen will stop approximately 1-1/2” from the end of the Sealant Barrel #3).
5. Remove the pull tab from the end of the cartridge (for the larger SG series cartridge, instead of pulling the
tab off the end of the cartridge you should cut off the remaining 1-1/2" of cartridge).
6. Slide the empty cartridge off the Sealant Barrel #3. It should come off quite easily but if not, it may help if
you turn or spin it as you slide it.
7. To make sure that there is no air trapped at the end of the Sealant Barrel #3. Push the sealant forward
by closing the By-Pass Valve #7 and stroke the Handle #10 until the sealant is level with the end of the
Sealant Barrel #3. Remove any excess sealant with a putty knife so the sealant is level with the end of
the Sealant Barrel #3.
8. Wipe any excess sealant from the outside and the threads of the Sealant Barrel #3 with a mild solvent
and a clean cloth. Take care not to contaminate the sealant.
9. Replace and tighten the head assembly onto Sealant Barrel #3.
If the product is being changed, place the Giant Buttonhead Coupler #17G into an empty bucket
and stroke the Handle #10 until the new product is seen extruding from the Giant Buttonhead
Coupler #17G.
10. Open By-Pass Valve #7 one full turn.
11. Wipe any excess sealant from the outside of the Hydraulic Hand Pump with a mild solvent and a clean
cloth.
The Hydraulic Hand Pump is now ready for use.

3. Place the Handle #10 so it is centered on the Piston Assembly #2 then push the Piston Assembly #2 to
the bottom of the Sealant Barrel #3.
