Removing an Unused CO2 Cartridge (Non-Punctured)

1. Put the trigger safety in the Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking
device (see page 4).
2. Press the Magazine Release button (4) and the Magazine (78) ejects out of the grip.
NOTE: When removing a loaded Magazine from the marker, two loose paintballs might
drop from the grip. Pull the Magazine's Ball Carrier down until it locks to take pressure
off the paintballs, and reload any loose paintballs into the Magazine.
3. Keep the marker pointed in a safe direction, and remove the CO2 Cap (15).
a. Push in and turn the CO2 Cap counterclockwise until it stops. Then pull out until it
stops to partially unscrew the cap. NOTE: The cap should be easy to turn; if you
are unable to turn it, or if it is difficult to turn, the cartridge has been punctured
and you must follow the instructions below,
(Punctured)
b. Turn the CO2 Cap a second turn counterclockwise until it stops and pull it out. The
empty CO2 cartridge will then slide out.
4. Replace the CO2 Cap. Align the cap pins with the pin guides of the Cap Receiver
Insert (14). Push the cap in and turn clockwise. Push the cap in a second time and turn
clockwise.

Removing a Used CO2 Cartridge (Punctured)
