Whenever you turn the cylinder during removal, watch the
marks on the cylinder and the cylinder valve to be sure
that they rotate together. If at any time these marks start to
separate as shown in the figure at right, the cylinder is starting
to unscrew from the cylinder valve and you must STOP and
take the entire unit to a “C5” certified airsmith for safe removal
and/or repair.
NOTE
: The cylinder valve should unscrew from the paintball
marker in about 3 or 4 full turns. If you finish the 4
