15mm Scare Cartridge Instructions

15 mm SCARE CARTRIDGE STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Store in a cool, dry, and secure compartment/magazine. Do not use vehicles as storage containers. Instead, dry boxes can be used for temporary storage and transportation of small amounts of product before usage. Exposure to humidity will have a detrimental effect on product performance. For areas of high humidity and no available climate controlled storage, use silica gel sacks in storage cabinets. Launchers which are not maintained (fouled) will also contribute to poor cartridge performance or failure.


15 mm SCARE CARTRIDGE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To be used with 15 mm scare launchers only. Use with 6 mm (.22 cal.) or 9 mm (.38 cal) crimped blank cartridge. To be used in accordance with the operating and safety instructions as provided with the launcher. Read the instructions for use printed on the 15 mm scare cartridge packaging before using.

Insert 15 mm pyrotechnical cartridge into the end of the launcher muzzle. Item #6000 bangers are inserted with the black or powder end in toward the launcher. Item #6001 screamers, #6002 whistler with silver comet, and #6003 whistlers are inserted with the hollow end in toward the launcher. The blank serves two purposes: 1) Expanding gas from the blank helps push the scare cartridge out of the launcher, 2) Flame from the blank ignites the scare cartridge.


Fire at a 45 degree angle above the ground. Scare cartridges are to be sold and stored in original manufacturers’ packaging only. Store in secure, cool, dry place to prevent product degradation, which could result in product failure.
