Loading and firing your Potato Cannon:

  • SAFETY FIRST - use yer damn head.
  • Load the projectile into the barrel - just cram the potato down the tube with a broomstick or some such.The sharpened barrel end will trim off excess 'tater.Make sure it is fully seated
  • KEEP THE BARREL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION
  • Charge the air chamber to no more than 60 PSI. Use a compressor or bike pump - the choice is yours.
  • Aim the cannon and flip the manual release valve. You'll hear a nice 'Thump' and watch the 'tater soar.
  • The cannon will fire anything that can fit in the barrel. You can use newspaper or cloth for wadding and fire confetti, Barbie Dolls, grapes, sawdust - anything.

PLEASE BE SAFE
