O-Ring Replacement
The Salamander Quad Pro contains two user-replaceable O-rings in each canister base.
One is located at the base of the thread in the brass canister base.
The other is located on the firing pin.
The canister base O-ring should be inspected every time the canister is changed. If the rubber
appears worn, frayed or split, the O-ring should immediately be replaced. It might be necessary to
cut the O-ring out of the canister base using a small blade such as a scalpel.
The replacement O-ring can simply be pressed into place.
It is recommended that the firing pin O-ring is periodically examined for damage. Checking the O-
ring every 6-12 canisters is usually appropriate, however this will vary based on the precise
operating conditions of the unit.
In addition, if the Salamander Quad Pro fails to fire correctly, or the response when firing is delayed
or ‘sticky’, the firing pin O-ring must be cleaned or replaced.
