Salamander Quad Pro User Manual

To access the firing pin O-ring:
1.
Remove the rubber plug from the base of the Salamander Quad Pro.
2.
Remove the thrust rod from the solenoid by sliding it out the base of the unit, through the
un-plugged hole.
3.
Remove the spring from the firing mechanism.
4.
The firing pin can now be removed from the bottom of the brass base.
If the O-ring appears worn, frayed or split it must be replaced. The O-ring should be cut off the firing
pin with a sharp blade such as a scalpel, taking care not to scratch the firing pin itself. A new O-ring
should be eased into place from the top end of the pin. Do not push the O-ring over the thread on
the firing pin.
A chemically inert lubricant such as general purpose silicone grease must be applied to the O-ring
before the pin is replaced. A thin layer should be applied to the O-ring, and any excess should be
wiped away.
When the O-ring has been replaced, re-install the firing pin.
Please note:
Under no condition should the firing pin be pushed up out of the top if the
canister base. This will force the firing pin O-ring across the canister base’s side opening,
damaging the rubber and compromising the seal created.
Please note:
If the Salamander Quad Pro is to be operated exclusively with coloured fluid
(Red or Green) the pin O-ring must be inspected after at most 12 canisters per base.
Warning:
Failure to apply lubricant to the O-ring may result in the pin sticking. This can
lead to a delay in firing or shutting off, and reduce the life of the O-ring.
