High Pressure Air Cylinder Warnings
WARNING
The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (#1) is intended to be
permanently attached to the air cylinder (2).
An air 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 the top image at right. 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 adapter of the paintball marker,
when in fact he or 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 in the top
image.
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 the bottom image, 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 cylinder, you are at risk if any of the following
has occurred:
• The valve unit was replaced or altered after purchase.
• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.
• Any modication was done to the rellable HPA cylinder.
If any of these conditions has occurred, take your air cylinder to a “C5” Certied Airsmith for
inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.
