LOADING A CO
2
BOTTLE
WARNING: In order to avoid accidents, make sure that the pistol is unloaded
before removing or loading a CO
2
bottle.
WARNING: Always wear eye protection when handling CO
2
bottles, since there is
a risk of injury to the eyes.
WARNING: Do not remove a CO
2
bottle until it is completely empty. Failure to
observe this recommendation can result in a dangerous escape of residual gas.
With the safety catch applied and the pistol unloaded, carefully unscrew the bottle retaining
screw in the base of the grip. To remove the empty bottle, open the left hand grip cover by
placing the thumb in the hollow in the base of the handgrip (see fig. C). The empty bottle
will come loose and drop out. To fit a new bottle, make sure that the pistol has the safety
catch applied and is unloaded. With the grip open and empty, insert the bottle with the neck
upwards (see fig. D).
Replace the grip cover, inserting the upper studs first. Tighten the bottle retaining screw in a
clockwise direction until you meet resistance. Once the end of the CO
2
bottle has been pierced,
the pistol is ready for loading and use.
