FITTING THE CO2 CYLINDER

If the pistol is not used for a long period of time, we recommend removing the CO2 capsule.
This will unload the capsule and the valve will not be damaged. Never attempt to forcefully insert
a CO2 capsule.
When removing the CO2 capsule, a small amount of gas may be released.
To prevent accidents, ensure the pistol is not loaded and has the safety mechanism activated
before removing or fitting a CO2 cylinder.
Keep CO2 cylinders away from heat and flames. Temperatures above 50ºC (120ºF)
may cause explosion or injury. Never throw a CO2 cartridge into fire.
Wear eye protection when handling the gas cylinder, since it can cause eye damage.
Do not remove the gas cylinder until it is completely empty. Otherwise it can cause large amounts
of residual gas to escape.
Make sure your hands do not come into contact with any CO2 gas leaks. If your skin
comes into contact with this gas, it may freeze.
Use only 12 gram CO2 cylinders. Any attempt to use others types of gas cylinders
could be extremely dangerous and could result in serious injury or death. Gases other than CO2
could result in an explosion or rupture the airgun.
When preparing to store the pistol, point the barrel at the ground and make sure that
the magazine is empty and that there are no steel BB in the barrel. In this way you will avoid
possible accidents when using the pistol again.
When there is an obstruction in the barrel, never shoot another pellet. Always make
sure that the Safety is activated before clearing an obstruction.
Make sure that the Safety is activated and the CO2 bottle has been removed before
proceeding with the removal of ammunition. Before removing the CO2 bottle, make sure that it is
empty of CO2.
