1. CO2 Cartridge Installation

If your marker has the optional Remote Line adapter, read the
Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings, Safety Tips, and Removal
the cylinder installation. Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker. Follow the Remote
Line instructions starting on page 21, then go to step 2 on page 9.
a. Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install
the barrel blocking device (see page 4).
b. Remove the CO2 Cap. This CO2 Cap has a safety
feature. You must push in while turning the CO2 Cap
counterclockwise until it stops. Next, pull the CO2 Cap
outward and turn counterclockwise again until it stops. The
CO2 Cap can now be removed from the marker.
c. Clean the small end of a full 12 gram CO2 cartridge. Insert
the small end into the marker.
d. Replace the CO2 Cap. Align the CO2 Cap's tabs with the
slots, push in on the CO2 Cap and turn clockwise until it
stops. Push in on the CO2 Cap a second time while turning
the CO2 Cap clockwise.
Note: The CO2 cartridge is not punctured during installation. Once you push the trigger safety
to Fire mode, the first pull of the Trigger punctures the CO2 cartridge. You can hear the CO2
cartridge pressurize the marker. Your marker is now ready to fire on the next Trigger pull.
