TO PRIME VACCINATOR:
1. Remove protective cover from needle.
2. Align front of piston with the line of the largest dose setting. *NOTE: SOME VACCINATORS ARE FIXED-DOSE ONLY. THIS
MEANS THAT THE DOSE SETTING CANNOT BE ADJUSTED (EVEN THOUGH THE ADJUSTER WILL TURN). ADJUSTABLE DOSE
VACCINATORS WILL HAVE GRADUATED DOSAGE SETTINGS PRINTED ON THE BARREL AS SHOWN. FIXED, NON-ADJUSTABLE
VACCINATORS WILL HAVE BARRELS PRINTED WITH ONE DOSE SETTING ONLY, WHICH REPRESENTS THE DOSAGE TO WHICH
THE VACCINATOR IS FIXED. IF YOU ARE USING A FIXED-DOSE VACCINATOR SKIP THIS STEP AND GO TO STEP #3.
3. Tip vaccinator up at a slight angle, with the needle pointing up. Top of vaccine bottle must be pointed downwards such
as when hanging in a VAC-PAC carrier.
4. Squeeze vaccinator handle, then release quickly to draw uid into the barrel.
5. Remove any air bubbles from the barrel by repeating step 4 being careful not to waste uid.
TO SET DOSAGE:
Align front of piston with the line of the largest dose setting using the dose adjuster. *NOTE: SOME VACCINATORS ARE
FIXED-DOSE ONLY. THIS MEANS THAT THE DOSE SETTING CANNOT BE ADJUSTED (EVEN THOUGH THE ADJUSTER WILL
TURN). ADJUSTABLE DOSE VACCINATORS WILL HAVE GRADUATED DOSAGE SETTINGS PRINTED ON THE BARREL AS SHOWN.
FIXED, NON-ADJUSTABLE VACCINATORS WILL HAVE BARRELS PRINTED WITH ONE DOSE SETTING ONLY, WHICH REPRESENTS
THE DOSAGE TO WHICH THE VACCINATOR IS FIXED.
LUBRICATION:
If vaccinator becomes sluggish, clean thoroughly using the cleaning instructions on back. You will need to remove the barrel
assembly, clean and apply a couple of drops of Prima Tech lubricant to the piston o-ring. Many times, product failure is due to
insucient cleaning (dried vaccine in valves, bung material caught in draw spike, etc.). For complete cleaning instructions,
please see back panel.

250ml bottles (30mm) and a third for bottles with a 33mm cap. Attatch one end of the feed line
to the plunger barb. Find the size draw-o spike that ts the bottle you are using and attatch it
to the opposite end of the feed line.
