Maintenance
Care of the Projectile(s)
The projectile can be used over and over again if cared for properly. Any visible damage to the
projectile on the exterior is cause for immediate replacement. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL
A DAMAGED CYLINDER. This may cause an accident resulting in bodily injury or death.
If discharged into water, after use and before filling again to be stored, the projectile should have
the Nozzle Assembly removed and be allowed to completely dry inside. Often, especially if
deployed into seawater, there will be water residue in the cylinder that may give rise to corrosion
if not removed.
Each projectile cylinder is intended to have a maximum service life of five years from the date of
manufacture – and must be removed from service at that time – or sooner if there is any visible
evidence of damage. Each cylinder is date stamped. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to
insure that the projectile cylinder is not used after the service life has expired.

To dry the inside of the projectile cylinder;
1. Unscrew the Nozzle Assembly from the end
of the projectile in a counter-clockwise
direction. (fig. 21)
2. Flush all parts, including the nozzle,
with fresh
water
and let dry.
3. Inspect the inside and outside for any
damage or corrosion.
4. Once dried, replace the Nozzle Assembly,
rotating in a clockwise direction by hand
until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
(fig. 21)
There is an “O” ring on the projectile nozzle
which is re-usable unless damaged. A
replacement “O” ring is included. Do NOT use
any sealant or tape on the thread of the nozzle.
Apply a small amount of Corrosion Block on
the threads, and use inside the projectile
cylinder. Install the Nozzle Assembly tightly,
using hand pressure. Do not over tighten the
nozzle. Use Corrosion Block on any part of
the projectile. (fig 22)
