KIT COMPONENTS

#40 Needles (Pkg. of 5 w/Allen Wrench)

FOR USE IN ALL LARGE CONDUIT 1 1/4" THRU 6"

GUNSLINGER (Figure 1) is a rugged, positive action, compact
hand tool, especially designed and constructed for releasing a
cartridge filled with CO2 under pressure. This self-propelled
cartridge, when launched into a conduit, works its way up,
down, and around bends, laying a strong nylon line as it goes.
Suitable for runs up to 250 feet. Longer runs may be accom­plished by shooting from both ends. Use nylon line to put JET
LINE poly rope or PL232 pull rope through conduit in minutes.
Jet Line's GUNSLINGER works well in any type conduit; metal,
fibre, plastic. Air leaks in the conduit run will not affect the per­formance of the JO21112 GUNSLINGER.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR GUNSLINGER

CO2 cartridges are sensitive to heat–do not expose to high
temperatures above 200° F. When firing in cold weather, warm
the cartridge in the palm of your hand for maximum travel.
Cartridges work best at 70° to 90° F.

When using Pull Line LP1703, pull gun back slightly after firing
cartridge to allow line to feed in straight without binding.

On long runs where the cartridge cannot go through in one
direction launch two cartridges from opposite ends of the run.
This allows lines to tangle while in motion, making a strong,
firm tangle-splice in the pipe. If mud or moisture are known to
exist, the cartridge will not penetrate the blockage.

YOUR GUNSLINGER CAN BE USED WITH LINE PACKAGES
OR BULK NYLON LINE OR BOTH TOGETHER. PLEASE
READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRING
YOUR GUNSLINGER.

USING LINE PACKAGE

making sure the line package can slide off the rod easily. If the
package fits the rod too tightly, pull line from the center of the
tube until the package can slide off the rod easily. On firing, the
cartridge will enter the conduit first, pulling the package behind.

USING BULK NYLON LINE

Figure 8
GUNSLINGER with
Bulk Nylon Line

To tie line to the cartridge, hold the end of the line against the
side of the cartridge with your thumb. Wind three or four turns of
the line around the neck of the cartridge between the taper and
ring. Loop two half hitches over the ring and follow with a reverse
half hitch, then pull the line to tighten. Bulk Nylon Line is easily
held by extending the thumb and fingers around the pistol grip to
grasp the line pack as shown in Figure 8 above.

When cocking the GUNSLINGER, always hold the barrel pointing
in a safe direction. Do not aim the GUNSLINGER at people. Do
not fire the CO2 cartridge in an open room or at people. Serious
injury will result.

TO COCK GUN simply pull the cocking knob (located at the rear
of the barrel) back until it clicks and catches. It may be necessary
to squeeze trigger to aid in pulling knob back.

INSERT THE CARTRIDGE (with line attached) into the barrel,
neck first. Make sure that the line cannot get caught on any part
of the gun or conduit box. Seat the cartridge to the back of the
chamber with the gun cocked and make sure the retaining spring
is strong enough to hold it there for proper firing.

FIRING AND ENTERING CONDUIT

1. The cartridge used with Bulk Nylon Line may be fired directly

into conduit 1 1/4" through 6". With the line package, use the
entrance adapter. Use the entrance adapter around 'hot'
panels and for 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" conduit sizes. Use the nose
cone (#550) in conduit 3" and larger.

2. Enter larger conduit directly. Just insert the barrel into the
opening and pull the trigger.

USE CARTRIDGE NOSE CONE (Figure 4) for all conduit three inch­es and above. Force the open end of the cone down over the round­ed nose of the cartridge about one inch. The nose cone will prevent
the cartridge from turning in the conduit and reversing its direction.

TO USE THE LINE PACKAGE AND BULK NYLON LINE
TOGETHER tie the free end of the line package to the line from

the center of the Bulk Nylon Line. Insert the line package on the
rod and hold Bulk Nylon Line as illustrated in Figure 8. The line
will be pulled from Bulk Nylon Line after the cartridge and pack­age have gone approximately 200 feet.

In some cases, the cartridge exits the other end of the conduit
with such force that it may be necessary to protect existing switch
gear in the enclosure to prevent damage. DO NOT TRY TO

CATCH THE CARTRIDGE WITH YOUR HANDS. SERIOUS OR
CRITICAL INJURY may result to anyone struck by the cartridge

exiting the conduit. Warn all personnel to stand clear of the con­duit exit prior to firing the cartridge into the conduit.
