ZERO180 Gun SystemZERO180 Gun System

4.7 Remove the endplate with booster and booster tube from the tube strip. Crimp the crimp

support tube to the det cord while pulling slight tension on the crimp support tube using Owen

Super Crimpers.

4.8 Re-install the endplate into the tube strip without pressing on the booster or booster tube.

4.9 To load the charges, start at the bottom of the tube strip and insert a charge through the large

hole until the det cord grooves of the charge sticks out through the small hole (you may need

to rotate the charge so that the det cord groove aligns with the path of the det cord). Secure in

place by using the bend tab on the tube strip. The charge should not be able to move side to

side. Continue to load the required charges to complete the tube strip. Insert only the number

of charges that you need loaded. The tube strip can be fully or partially loaded.

4.10 Install the scale or ruler onto the Owen Super Cutters. Holding slight tension on the cord,

make a clean, squared-off cut of the det cord 7.5 in. (19.05 cm) from the face of the top end

plate.

4.11 Visually inspect the cut, then install the proper Bi-directional Booster over the end of the det

cord and crimp in place by using Owen Super Crimpers.

4.12 Slide the long booster support tube over the booster and det cord and thread into end plate.

As you thread in the tube, the booster should be positioned ush with the end of the booster

tube. Tighten rmly by hand. No rubber grommets will be used in this system.

Note:

The carrier to be loaded must be on sturdy supports and be

at an elevation of such to make inserting the loaded tube strip easy and

safe.

4.13 Lift the loaded tube strip from the loading bench and carry it to the accompanying carrier. Use

as many people as necessary to safely handle the tube strip.

Note:

It is important for the ZERO180

system to have the ability

to move freely within the carrier. Do not tie down charge tube or other

components restricting motion of the system. The system must be able to

move freely within the carrier.
