Note:

Before loading, visually inspect the carrier and components for

any defects and make sure that all threads and seal bores are clean.

Once you have obtained all the necessary hardware and explosives for your particular job application,

there are a few steps that will assist you in a successful operation.

2.1 Place the gun on a loading table or workbench and remove the shipping caps from each end.

The gun is identical on each end. Designate one end as top of gun and the other as bottom.

2.2 Remove the snap ring from the designated bottom of gun. With a wooden broom handle,

push the tube assembly with endplates out the bottom end of the gun and place it on the

loading table or workbench. On the tube strip, designate one end as the top of the tube and

the other as bottom. It is important to push the tube because the endplates are not secured

to the tube strip and may separate if pulled.

2.3 Look down the inside of the empty gun body from the bottom end of the gun. Rotate the

empty gun body so that the gap between the ears of the snap ring (on the top end of gun) is

in the 9 o’clock position. On the bottom end of gun, mark the outside of the gun body with a

line at the 12 o’clock position.

2.4 Remove the thru wire holder from the endplates and set aside (WL Version only).

2.5 It may also be important to mark the outside of the carriers to correspond with the zones to be

perforated. Start with the bottom shot and measure upward. Don’t forget to take into account

the lengths of any subs which will be used to connect the carriers together. Mark these zones

clearly and label accordingly on the gun body and the tube strip.
