7. Refer to the illustration at
right. Whenever you turn the
air/CO2 cylinder (2) during
removal, watch the mark (4)
on the cylinder and the mark
(3) on the cylinder valve to be
sure that they rotate together.
If you see the marks begin
to separate (5), STOP! and
take your marker to a qualified
professional, such as a “C5” certified airsmith.
8. Turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 turn counterclockwise. This allows the air supply pin
valve to close so that no air will enter the marker. Point the marker in a safe direction
and discharge the remaining gas in the marker by pulling the trigger until the marker
stops firing. If your marker continues to fire, the cylinder pin valve has not closed yet
(the cylinder pin valve could be too long, because of the variances in cylinder pin valve
parts, each cylinder varies slightly on exactly how far it should be turned) and you will
have to turn the cylinder counterclockwise a little further and repeat this step until the
marker does not fire, then remove the cylinder. NOTE: If during this step, you turned the
cylinder and it began to leak before you pulled the trigger, the cylinder O-ring should be
checked for damage before reassembly (see
Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks
on
page 24).
9. After the air/CO2 cylinder is removed, point and fire the marker in a safe direction until
stored air is completely discharged.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to follow
Magazine Removal,
Loading, and Unloading
instructions on page 9 and
CO2 Cartridge Removal
instructions on page 10. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the
barrel blocking device (see page 4).
Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings
Refer to the figure at right. There have been reported
incidents caused by players unknowingly unscrewing the
cylinder (2) from the cylinder valve (1). This occurs when
the player thinks the entire valve-cylinder assembly is being
unscrewed from the air/CO2 adaptor of the paintball marker,
when in fact he or she is unscrewing the cylinder from the
cylinder valve.
To avoid this danger, it is recommended (if your cylinder is
not already marked) that you use paint or nail polish to place a mark (3) on the cylinder valve,
and place another mark (4) on the cylinder, in line with the #3 mark as shown.
WARNING
The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (#1) is intended
to be permanently attached to the air or CO2 cylinder (2).
An air or CO2 cylinder can fly off with enough force to
cause serious injury or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews
from a cylinder valve (1).
