Backpressure Caps (PAP 1210): Function/ Purpose
Creates bang and propels streamers further when used!
A backpressure cap is nothing more than a thin paper cap or cup that fits
externally over 2” barrel. Essentially, they hold backpressure until enough
is built up to force the pressure cap to blow off! When they do, a semi-
concussive sound is heard. The user will find, when using caps, the
streamer-load will travel much further (about 30%) and the product will
function more efficiently. In some cases, a smaller Co2 cylinder can be
used, decreasing your operating costs!
When using back pressurecaps, a good rule to follow is –
“DO NOT AIM
DIRECTLY AT ANYONE!”…WARNING: NEVER USE AEROTECHNIC
PRODUCTS IF THERE ARE OPEN FLAMES PRESENT!
TROUBLESHOOTING
: If your system ever develops a leak, it will be
behind the O-ring located just behind the firing pin or the large O-ring on
the male part of the bayonet fitting. Usually, the system fires so fast, that
a minor leak never really affects operation, however spare O-rings are
available. Keep the threads clean and barrel will screw in easier. Lubri-
cate the firing pin and large O-ring with silicone grease every few weeks.
Back pressure Cap Installation
: Slip the cap over and snug it down.
IMPORTANT
: With masking tape, neatly tape two full turns around the
side of the barrel and cap. Stager the wrap so it overlaps both the barrel
and the cap.
VERY IMPORTANT
: After taping, roll your hand around the
tape, pressing to from a tight air seal. When firing, you should notice an
increased kick, sound and streamer distance. This is your starting point.
If you want your shot a little stronger, wrap additional turns of tape around
the side. If the bang it too loud or the cannon fails to fire, simply use less
tape around the side.
WARNING
: Too much tape or the use of DUCT
TAPE can cause a dangerous condition. Use only masking tape!!
NEVER
exceed more than four side turns. Never tape over the top of the cap on
any hand held device. The top must be allowed to split or tear off freely,
like a pressure release gasket.
TIPS
: For additional product performance, all devices should be bottom
primed withalifting cup.
