Operation and Maintenance Manual

SION 9.
1. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe
direction.
2. Render the firearm safe by removing the
magazine, completely unloading the firearm
and engaging the safety to the "SAFE" po-
sition. See the firearm's owner's manual for
detailed instructions.
3. With the unloaded host firearm held firmly in one hand, grasp the si-
lencer with the other hand. Pull forward on the silencer, against tension
from the A.S.A.P. System driving spring. This will disengage the splines
on the piston head from the locking recesses in the piston housing, en-
abling the silencer to rotate about the piston axis. Rotate the silencer in
the direction of installation, until the engraving on the silencer is in the
3 o-clock position (as seen from the rear). When the engraving is so
aligned, the bulk of the silencer is now below the bore axis, providing
an unobstructed sight picture. See Figures 4 and 5.
4. Release forward tension on the silencer, which will reset under spring
tension and allow the splines on the piston head to re-engage the lock-
ing recesses in the piston housing. It may be necessary to rotate the si-
lencer slightly to allow the splines to engage and allow the A.S.A.P.
system to fully seat.
VERIFYING SECURE INSTALLATION OF YOUR ILLUSION 9
1. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction.
2. Render the firearm safe by removing the magazine, completely unload-
ing the firearm and engaging the safety to the "SAFE" position. See the
firearm's owner's manual for detailed instructions.
CAUTION! Silencers can become extremely hot while the host firearm
is being shot. Heat-resistant gloves must be worn when verifying the
security of the installation of an ILLUSION 9 on the host firearm. Han-
dling a hot silencer without heat-resistant gloves may lead to skin
burns and/or personal injury.
3. Carefully tighten the silencer onto the host firearm's muzzle threads in
the “ON” direction indicated on the piston. See Figure 2.
REMOVING YOUR ILLUSION 9 FROM A HOST FIREARM
1. Always keep the host firearm pointed in a safe direction.
2. Render the firearm safe by removing the magazine, completely unload-
ing the firearm and engaging the safety to the "SAFE" position. See the
firearm's owner's manual for detailed instructions.
3. Verify the silencer is at ambient temperature. If the silencer is hot, allow
it to cool.
CAUTION! Never handle a hot
silencer without heat-resis-
tant gloves, as this may lead
to skin burns and/or personal
injury.
4. Carefully unscrew the si-
lencer from the host firearm's
muzzle threads in the oppo-
site of the “ON” direction in-
dicated on the piston. See
Figure 6.
DISASSEMBLING YOUR ILLUSION 9 A.S.A.P. SYSTEM
The A.S.A.P. System can be quickly and easily disassembled for cleaning,
maintenance, or to simply swap one A.S.A.P. System piston for one with a
different barrel interface thread. It is recommended that users disassemble
