Basic Use

Position the nozzle near the gold-bearing material and pull the plunger to create suction. Empty the recovered material into a bucket, classifier or gold pan for careful processing. Avoid pulling rocks or debris larger than the nozzle opening into the chamber.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Rinse the chamber, nozzle and plunger assembly thoroughly after each use. Remove trapped sand and small stones before storage because abrasive material can wear the internal seals and reduce suction performance. Inspect the plunger and seals regularly.
