How do I keep it from sucking fluid into the gun part? Worked great the 1st time. The 2d time not so much...

Look at the bottom of the black cap that uses two air lines. The fluid is suppose to enter the container where there is sort of an exit pointing downwards which redirects the fluid to the small container. Make sure you use the short hose supplied so it wont splash while in vacuum. Make sure the container is standing upright and not at an angle. Otherwise you will suck up fluid and damage the gun.

It's not a great tool, I'd sell it. I'm sorry i even bought the product, it didn't do anything it's packaging said it would do.

The way this works is by suction make sure the gun is setup correctly have the long hose connected to the jar that stores the fluid under the jar lid place the small hose it comes with which prevents fluid leaking back out then shut the lid of the jar and connect another small hose it comes with to the other top and connect the gun through that . I have had no problem also try creating a seal by pressing firmly on the fitting where your sucking the break fluid from

Hi Johnny E. I haven't used this particular Mityvac as yet. I have used an earlier model without a problem.

Make sure everything is connected properly. The reservoir needs to have the tube in it that puts the fluid in to the bottom of the tank and the gun needs to be hooked up to the other side of the cap. If there is no air gap between the gun and the liquid it will pull the liquid into the gun.Also, my instructions stated to dump the reservoir after 2 inches of fluid accumulated.

Make sure it is hooked up correctly (with little hose inside jar coming from the attachment end, not the gun end) and keep the gun level. If you problem is it continually sucking once full press the little pressure release lever until the gauge registers 0 psi vacuum.

I didn't have this problem. I think you have to slam the cartridge in firmly and get it into the handle quickly. I hope this helps, but your problem may be with a defective pistol. Perhaps you should try the manufacturer.

I had a similar problem when I first got my press. I have found that keeping gun powder out of the slide area and keeping the slide lubed with Horandy spray lube has resolved the issue. Once the slide gets fouled with gunpowder, at least in my case, that's when I have issues with the plunger rod. Hope this helps. Mike B.

Did you make sure you tightened the TLR on the left side of the weapon. This tightens the TLR so it does not move while it's attached to the weapon. If you did not this is what's causing the problem.

well i know the answer... What happened is: 1. when you screw the cartridge the gas is slowly released until you tighten all the way( I highly don't think this is the case). ***2: The C02 seal of the gun is broken. This happened to me on my Winchester M14 by Daisy (excellent). There are little rings in the gun that hold the co2 in and when they're worn out, you put C02 in and it all just leaks out. i tried 10 cartdriges. its sucks but what i did was i contacted the maker ( for you, corpsman customer service and say that you need replacement sealent rings. Just ask for new ones, replace them, and then all the C02 stays in! well i know the answer...

You've found out that yanking and jerking on the gun does no good. I rotate the gun nozzle around the zert and it releases on its own.

The first time I used the Mastrad it distorted the seal & gas escaped. I discovered that I hadn't screwed the cap on all the way. The seal should not be visible when it is tightened & actually continues to rotate 1-2 more times before it is truly sealed. Then before i put the cartridge on I press the release valve in go make sure it is not stuck. Make sure not to cross thread the cartridge holder. After gassing I leave the cartridge in place, shake the canister & put it in the fridge for several hours. When ready don't try to open it until you press the pressure release valve until no more gas escapes. Then open the lid & replace it with the storage cap. If this doesn't help then I suggest you contact Mastrad. Oh yeah, use the white funnel provided to fill & only fill until the liquid touches the bottom of the funnel.

I'm so sorry you had this problem. I have never had that issue. This might be a stupid question but are you sure we're holding straight up and down. It also takes more pressure pushing down on it than most augers as it is lighter. I'm sure you know that though. I would contact ION immediately. I really wish I could help you. That would really frustrated me

Your gonna have to use pipe pliers to get it off. Be sure to clean the gun thoroughly before using it. For whatever reason these monkeys put some sort of glue on the threads of everything and it sucks. Use lacquer thinner it's the only thing that worked for me I soaked the gun and ask the parts in it for a few hours and scribes the crap out of it. Works pretty good once cleaned properly

I did not have that problem. Try a coat of quality gun oil and wipe it dry see if that helps.

I would clean them with rubbing alcohol . Either wipe them down or let them soak in a big pot with an alcohol / water solution . I would have a cup connected to the actual pump and pump up the water/ alcohol solution to clean the gun portion of it. Hope this helps :)

I had the same problem. After using a wrench to get the whole thing off, then used more tools to get it apart, it leaked like a sieve after I screwed it back on. I'd like to know the answer myself because I bought a new one.

I'm sorry to hear that the same thing happened to you! My son's only shot for a few hours the day he got it....since then it's been jammed with a pice of pellet/ammo and we can't dislodge it. We were afraid to take it apart, but that's probably our best bet.....

Are you loading your shells all the way? Sometimes they don't fill up correctly, and this can be fixed by just tapping the bottom of the shell on some hard surface a couple of times. Also try cleaning all three of your barrels and spray some silicone spray into your hopup. If doing those don't fix it, I would either contact the manufacturer or your local airsoft shop and maybe they will have a solution.

mine does the same thing after every 5 shots or so, then I got to release the slide to slide it again. I think it has something to do with the little latch on the side, hopefully someone will give us a definite answer.

hi i have to agree with vid pro. i do not believe you have ruined it at all. i would get the gun hot again and push more sticks of glue through too. even if you used mini sticks keep pushing thru even if you used a wooden skewer to help push it thru [ never use metal,] only a wood skewer, just to push it as soon as you see the glue come through, try to get all the glue mini sticks out that way.might as well get the right sized glue sticks cos this will be a repeat of the same ole problem you are having now if you don't. the best thing is just use the right size sticks to push out the mini sticks of glue out, then you can bypass wood skewer. that is what i would do. you should really use the mini glue sticks for a smaller gun cos the chamber is made for the mini sticks that is why it is difficult to get the glue flow out with this gun. rest assured i use this glue gun profesionally i own 2 i love this gun. this gun is HOT please make sure to have ice water near you can dunk a finger in, helps to cool the glue so the burn isn't so bad. live and learn please be careful. enjoy that gun hope this helps pammypurple

Do you hear the piston making a "popping" sound or just a constant tone when you pull the trigger? Air does come out of the side of the unit during normal operation and it will making a consistent popping sound dependent on input PSI. I'd check for air pockets, just like with a normal grease gun I have to prime it before I get grease flow. Just bang this upside down against the rim of a plastic trash can dozen or so times and check periodically for the grease to start flowing. The tone of the piston will change once it's actually pushing grease too if it's popping really fast and nothing's coming out its just not primed enough. Hope this helps!
