Safety instructions
A CO
2
cartridge contains CO
2
(carbon dioxide) at very high pressure. Over-exposure
to CO
2
could be fatal. If the cartridge is punctured or caused to leak at a high rate,
the cartridge may explode or become a projectile (fly through the air), causing
severe injury or death.
Follow these steps to prevent puncture, explosion,
or exposure to CO
2
gas:
Use and dispose of cartridges properly.
•
Never puncture a CO
2
cartridge.
•
Keep CO
2
cartridges away from heat above 120°F (49°C). A closed
car, or even direct sunlight, can reach a temperature higher than this.
Overheating may rupture the cartridge. Do not incinerate.
•
Do not completely unscrew the Air Rush head from the CO
2
cartridge
until the cartridge is empty. Removing the Air Rush head from a CO
2
cartridge while CO
2
remains may cause the cartridge to become a
projectile. Never dispose of a cartridge that still contains CO
2
.
•
To drain a partially used CO
2
canister, compress the head of the Air Rush
until it is empty.
Only use compatible cartridges that are in perfect condition.
•
Never attempt to refill a disposable cartridge.
•
In the event of any actual or suspected malfunction or damage,
discontinue use of the cartridge and dispose of it properly.
•
Use only Bontrager cartridges. Do not use another size or type of
cartridge. Attempting to install a non-compatible cartridge could cause
the cartridge to become a projectile.
Avoid contact with CO
2
.
•
As CO
2
leaves the cartridge, it drops to a very low temperature and could
cause frostbite to exposed skin.
•
Do not discharge the inflator towards your face or body, or other people.
•
Do not inhale CO
2
.
•
Keep cartridges and the Air Rush out of the reach of children.
