The DotMaker™ 2000PD is a positive displacement
dispensing gun for making repeatable deposits of
low to medium viscosity materials.
The position of a volume control knob regulates the
trigger stroke and, in turn, controls the volume
displaced by the internal pump. Squeezing the
trigger displaces the shot and releasing the trigger
charges the chamber.
Follow this step-by-step guide to begin using
your new DotMaker™ 2000PD.

The unique DotMaker™ simplifies
application of low to medium
viscosity fluids.
It is very easy to use and less
fatiguing than other manual
applicators.

Fill level
Filling the barrel reservoir
➀ Install an orange tip cap (#5113).
➁ Load the fluid into the barrel, filling to the
recommended level (see chart).
➂ Insert a SmoothFlow

NOTE: The 2000PD performs best with fluids that pour and thixotropic
materials which will move with pressure of 15 psi or less. Do not use high
viscosity materials such as RTV silicone and heavy grease. Contact EFD
for recommendations.

Setup
NOTE: Prime the 2000PD at the lowest possible volume
setting to minimize waste during final volume adjustments.
➀ Loosen the volume control knob. Pull the trigger in while
sliding the knob to the #1 position; then tighten the knob.
➁ Remove the orange tip cap from the end of the barrel
reservoir.
➂ Look into the inlet port and align the barrel reservoir with
the inlet luer lock adapter. Press the reservoir in and twist
to the right to secure.
CAUTION: Use light pressure to secure the reservoir.
Be careful not to overtighten.
➃ Remove the tip cap from the outlet end of the 2000PD and
install a dispensing tip. Use a small diameter tip for thin
fluids or a larger one for thicker materials.
