Air Supply Cylinder Removal

Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and
any person within range. To remove a charged air supply cylinder:
1) Follow the Unloading Your Marker instructions above.
2) Turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 of a 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 fire the remaining gas in the marker
by pulling the trigger until the marker stops firing. This may take 4-5 shots.
• If your marker continues to fire, the tank pin valve has not closed yet (because
of the variances in tank pin valve parts, each tank varies slightly on exactly
how far it should be turned) and
counterclockwise a little further and repeat this step until the marker does
not fire, then remove the tank. (If during this step - you turned the tank
and it began to leak before you pulled the trigger, the tank o-ring should be
checked for damage before reassembly.)
3) After air tank is removed,
stored air is completely discharged.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to follow
Marker and Air Supply Cylinder Removal instructions (see above).
Install barrel sleeve (see page 2).
