Air Supply Cylinder Warnings
WARNING
The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (Figure 8, #1) is intended to be
permanently attached to the air supply cylinder (2).
An air supply cylinder can y off with enough force to cause serious injury
or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews from a cylinder valve (1).
Refer to Figure 4. There have been reported incidents caused
by players unknowingly unscrewing the cylinder (2) from the
cylinder valve (1). This occurs when the player thinks the entire
valve-cylinder assembly is being unscrewed from the air supply
adaptor of the paintball marker, when in fact they are unscrewing
the cylinder from the cylinder valve.
To avoid this danger, it is recommended (if your cylinder is not
already marked) that you use paint or nail polish to place a
mark (3) on the cylinder valve, and place another mark (4) on
the cylinder, in line with the #3 mark as shown.
Whenever you turn the cylinder during removal, watch the marks
on the cylinder and the cylinder valve to be sure that they rotate
together. If at any time these marks start to separate as shown
in Figure 5, the cylinder is starting to unscrew from the cylinder
valve and you must STOP and take the entire unit to a “C5”
certied airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.
NOTE: The cylinder valve should unscrew from the paintball
marker in about 3 or 4 full turns. If you nish the 4
th
full turn and
the cylinder valve is not unscrewed from the paintball marker,
STOP! Take the entire unit to a “C5” certied airsmith for safe
removal and/or repair.
Locate a “C5” Certied Airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com.
Whether you have a new or used rellable air supply cylinder, you are at risk if any of the following
has occurred:
• The valve unit was replaced or altered after purchase.
• An anti-siphon device was installed.
• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.
• Any modication was done to the rellable air supply cylinder.
If any of these conditions have occurred, take your air supply cylinder to a “C5” Certied
Airsmith for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.
