Caution: Do not completely fill barrels. The optimum fill is a maxi-
mum 2/3 of the barrel capacity and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when
using the LV Barrier
™
.
If the fluid you are dispensing is pourable, take the barrel, twist on
a tip cap and pour your fluid in. If appropriate, insert the SmoothFlow
™
piston (see pages 10-11). Carefully press the piston down until it
contacts the fluid. The barrel is now ready for use.
If you are dispensing watery solvents, cyanoacrylates or anaerobics,
use the LV Barrier
™
. Place barrier in the top of the barrel reservoir.
Allow air between barrier and fluid. Do not contact the barrier to the
fluid.
If your fluid is thick or non-leveling, you can spoon it into the barrel
with a spatula Or, if the fluid comes packed in a 1/10 gallon cartridge,
try loading the barrel with a caulking gun. Then press in the
SmoothFlow
™
piston to move the fluid to the bottom of the barrel and
to remove trapped air.
