WARNING: Please note that the shrink wrap you will be heang with the DS-
RS100 can burn unless you are specically using ame retardant shrink wrap.
If heat is applied incorrectly, shrink wrap can ignite into open ame. It can
also drop down onto other combusble material and cause secondary igni-
on and re. If at any me you observe the shrink wrap on re, immediately

stop what you are doing and carefully inspect the area where you are work-
ing for a possible re. Keep a re exnguisher available at all mes. Do not
shrink wrap if the wind is over 10 mph.

Two types of tanks are commonly available: liquid withdrawal and vapor
withdrawal. It is crucial to use the vapor withdrawal type. Nevertrytorun
thegunonaliquidwithdrawaltank.Using a liquid withdrawal tank will clog
the orice lter and may result in an extremely dangerous long ame.
Tanks are available in 6, 8, 10, 20, 30, and 40 lb. sizes. The gun will run on a 6
lb. tank if used only intermiently. Larger tanks should be chosen for con-
nuous use.
Smaller or nearly empty tanks ice up faster than large, full tanks. Typically,
a full 30 lb. tank, if run connuously, will run 90 minutes before it ices up. If
the producon rates demand connuous use, the following methods may be
employed.
Which Tank to Use
5
1. Mulple tanks. Switch the gun from one tank to another.
2. Fan. An ordinary desk fan at the tank. The air ow around the tank will
keep it from icing up.

Notes:
1. It is important to squeeze the gas trigger slowly. If the gas trigger is
squeezed too quickly, the igniter will re the spark plug before the gas
mixture gets there.
2. Should the gun fail to re fully, release the trigger fully to assure that the
igniter is reset and repeat the starng procedure.

Connecons:
Connect the gun, hose and regulator to the tank using a wrench to ghten
the ngs which all have le hand threads.
Start-Up:
Aer all connecons are made and checked for leaks, the gun is ready for
use. Turn regulator rmly down clockwise, then turn back one turn counter
clockwise. (Pressure will increase by turning the regulator clockwise, and will
decrease by turning counter clockwise). Open the tank valve. Wait approxi-
mately 5 seconds to fully pressurize the hose. To start the gun, squeeze the
trigger slowly all the way unl the igniter res with an audible click.
CAUTION GUN WILL IGNITE.
