Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings

The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (Figure 9, #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).
Refer to Figure 9. 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 adapter 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.
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 (Figure 10), 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.

Whether you have a new or used refillable air or CO2 cylinder, you are at risk if any of the
following has occurred:
• The valve unit was replaced or altered after purchase.
• An anti-siphon device was installed.
• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.
• Any modification was done to the refillable air or CO2 cylinder.
If any of these conditions has occurred, take your air or CO2 cylinder to a "C5" Certified
Airsmith for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.
