Safety Instructions

Never point the potato gun in a direction that you do not wish to shoot. Please ensure that you are using the potato gun as instructed to prevent injuries. 

 

Directions to load Potato Gun:

1. Cut Potato in half. The half must be as large or larger than the barrel diameter. The half potato

will be cut by the barrel end as you turn the potato into the barrel. For best results, be sure the potato seals the 2” barrel completely. The better the seal, the further the launch.

2. Use Stick Rod to push and seat the potato all the way down the barrel.

3. Turn gun over and spray into the carburetor over the top edge. Cupping hand so gases fall inside for 3 seconds. Do not shake the hair spray prior to use.

4. Hand screw ignitor cap onto carburetor until tightly snug and be careful not to cross thread. Use the Stick Rod wrench end only to assist in cap removal.

5. Aim away from buildings and persons. Aim up in the air at an angle and push ignitor. Sometimes there is a misfire. Just push ignitor a second time. If it does not hurl potato on the third push, recharge carburetor again with hairspray.

Caution: Do not launch the potato or any projectile in confine areas or buildings. Never aim at vehicles, pets, persons or any similar targets.

How to Store the Gun 

Remove the ignitor and store separately after use. Store with Stick Rod in the barrel with carburetor on the ground.
