Operation

Assemble the Junk Catcher with the desired size of gauge ring and hoist into the lubricator. Lower into wellbore making note of any fluid level, once in fluid the speed of descent should be rapid enough to hold the flapper in the open position, thus allowing debris to pass through and become trapped in theslotted barrel.
