Air Supply Cylinder Warnings

The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (Figure 3, #1)
is intended to be permanently attached to the air or CO
cylinder (2).
An air or CO
serious injury or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews from a
cylinder valve (1).
Refer to Figure 3. 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 supply adaptor of the paintball marker, when in fact they
are 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.
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 Figure 4, 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
and the cylinder valve is not unscrewed from the paintball
marker, STOP! Take the entire unit to a "C5" certified
airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.
