User Manual

or the device installed by, a qualied professional.

• All air or CO2 cylinders must be lled only by properly trained personnel.

• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.

• Do not overll a cylinder! Never exceed the air or CO2 cylinder’s capacity.

• Do not expose pressurized air or CO2 cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130

degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).

• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air or CO2 cylinder or cylinder valve

and do not expose to corrosive materials.

• Do not modify the air or CO2 cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the

cylinder valve from the air or CO2 cylinder.

• Any air or CO2 cylinder that has been exposed to re or heated to a temperature

of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or more must be destroyed by

properly trained personnel.

• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO2 in a CO2 cylinder and only use

compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.

• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.

• The air or CO2 cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least

every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.

• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing the air/CO2

cylinder, or if the marker or air/CO2 cylinder is leaking. Compressed air and CO2

gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.

NOTE: Locate a “C5” certied airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com

Air/CO2 Cylinder Removal

1. Read Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings (page 11) and Air/CO2 Cylinder Safety Tips

(above) before beginning the cylinder removal process.

2. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person

within range.

3. Follow the Unloading Your Marker instructions on page 10.

4. Watch the marks on the cylinder and cylinder valve (as shown in Figure 8) as you turn

the cylinder approximately ¾ turn counterclockwise. This allows the air/CO2 valve pin to

close so that no air/CO2 will enter the marker.

5. Remove the Barrel Blocking Device. Set the Trigger Safety to Fire mode. Point the

marker in a safe direction, and discharge the remaining gas in the marker by repeatedly

pulling the trigger until the marker stops ring (this may take 4-5 shots). If your marker

continues to re, the cylinder’s pin valve has not closed yet. The cylinder pin valve could

be longer than usual. Because of the variances in cylinder pin valve parts, each cylinder

varies slightly on exactly how far it has to be turned. Turn the cylinder counterclockwise

a little further and repeat this step until the marker does not re. Only then remove the

air/CO2 cylinder.

NOTE: If during this step, you turned the air/CO2 cylinder and it began to leak before

you pulled the trigger, the cylinder O-Ring should be checked for damage before any

re-assembly (see Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks below).

6. After the air/CO2 cylinder is removed, again point and re the marker in a safe direction

to verify the marker is completely discharged of gas.

7. Move the Trigger Safety to Safe mode (see page 6) and install the Barrel Blocking

Device (see page 4).
