3. Insertion and Removal of CO2 Cylinders
3.1 Inserting the CO2 Cylinder
Make sure the air pistol is "On Safe" (See 2.1).
Make sure the air pistol is unloaded (See 4.2).
Point the air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION.
Press the magazine release lever and slide the magazine out of the bottom of the grip (Fig. 3).
Turn the magazine shoe clockwise towards "OPEN" (Fig. 4).
If a CO
2 cylinder is already installed, See 3.2 - Removing the CO2 Cylinder.
Insert the CO2 cylinder with the small neck of the cylinder pointing upward toward the top of the
magazine. (Fig. 5).
Tighten the cylinder into place by turning brass retaining screw as shown in Figure 6 (up) until secure and
close the magazine shoe by turning it towards "POWER" until it reaches the position shown in Figure 6.
Insert the magazine up into the bottom of the grip until it locks into place (Fig. 7).
With the air pistol unloaded (See 4.2) and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION, take "Off Safe"
(See 2.2) and pull the trigger to fire. If your air pistol does not make a popping noise after pulling the
trigger, the CO
2 is not being discharged. Return the safety to the “ON SAFE” position (see 2.1). Repeat
above steps until you hear the popping noise.
CO2 cylinders may explode at temperatures above 120° F (48.9° C). Do not muti-
late or incinerate them. Do not expose them to heat or store CO2 cylinders at temperatures above 120°F
(48.9°C).
WARNING:
Keep hands away from escaping CO2 gas. It can cause frostbite if allowed to
come in contact with skin.
