Air/CO2 Supply Cylinder Warnings

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/CO2 supply adaptor of the paintball marker, when in fact

he/she is 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

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 or CO

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 or CO2 cylinder.

If any of these conditions has occurred, take your air or CO2 cylinder to a “C5” Certied

Airsmith for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.

WARNING

The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (Figure 4, #1)

is intended to be permanently attached to the air or CO2

cylinder (2).

An air or CO2 cylinder can y off with enough force to

cause serious injury or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews

from a cylinder valve (1).
