WARNING
Your PMI Marker has a specially designed pressure release system installed. See
Figure A.
DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THIS SAFETY DEVICE!
This safety device will not
allow pressures in excess of 3000 psi to enter your marker. If the output pressure of
your air system exceeds 3000 psi the safety release disc will vent, preventing damage
to your marker.
Should this occur, replace the rupture disc using only PMI Replacement Kit #41022
rated at 3000 PSI. Contact your local paintball dealer to perform this maintenance or
contact PMI at 1.800.579.1633 for further information.
