CARTRIDGE LOADING AND DISPENSING

• Lift the release lever of GC CARTRIDGE DISPENSER II and pull the piston plunger all the way back into the dispenser. Lift the cartridge holder of the dispenser and load the cartridge, ensuring that the V-shaped notch on the flange of the cartridge is facing down. Push the cartridge holder down to hold the cartridge firmly in place.

• Lift the release lever and push the piston plunger forward until it engages into the cartridge.

• Remove the cartridge cap by rotating 1/4 turn anti-clockwise. Tilt the cap downward and peel it away from the cartridge. Gently squeeze the dispenser handle to extrude a small amount of material from the two openings at the end of the cartridge. Make sure that base and catalyst come out evenly.

• Align the V-shaped notch on the rim of the MIXING TIP to the V-shaped notch between the cartridge barrels. Push firmly to attach the mixing tip. Then rotate the colored collar of the mixing tip 1/4 turn clockwise to the end of the cartridge. The dispenser is now ready for use.

• Squeeze the handle several times to extrude the material. After use, do not remove the MIXING TIP as this will become the storage cap until next use. When replacing the MIXING TIP, rotate the collar on the mixing tip 1/4 turn anti-clockwise to align the V-shaped notch on the cartridge. Tilt the mixing tip downward and peel it away from the cartridge.

• Remove the old mixing tip prior to next use. Before attaching a new tip, gently extrude a small amount of material to ensure that base and catalyst are flowing evenly from both openings. If the materials should fail to extrude, remove any hardened materials from the end of the cartridge.

• To replace the cartridge, lift the release lever and retract the piston plunger fully. Remove the empty cartridge by lifting the cartridge holder and load a new one into the dispenser.
