2. Safety Information
WARNING: CO2 is a compressed gas. Improper handling can result in serious injury or death. Always follow these safety guidelines:
- Do not expose CO2 tanks to direct sunlight or temperatures exceeding 120°F (49°C). High temperatures can cause the tank to rupture.
- Do not puncture, incinerate, or modify the CO2 tank.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Always wear appropriate eye protection when handling or installing CO2 tanks.
- Ensure the device is compatible with 88g or 90g threaded CO2 cartridges before installation.
- Dispose of empty tanks according to local regulations. Do not throw into fire.
- Avoid direct contact with rapidly expanding CO2, as it can cause frostbite.
3. Setup
Before installing the CO2 tank, ensure your device is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Refer to your device's specific instruction manual for detailed installation steps.
- Inspect the Tank: Before use, visually inspect the CO2 tank for any signs of damage, dents, or leaks. Do not use a damaged tank.
- Prepare Your Device: Ensure your paintball marker, airsoft gun, or airgun is ready for CO2 tank installation. This may involve opening a specific compartment or removing a cap.
- Insert the Tank: Carefully insert the threaded end of the CO2 tank into the designated port on your device.
- Tighten Securely: Screw the tank in firmly until you feel it puncture and hear the CO2 begin to flow into the system. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the tank or the device's seal.
- Check for Leaks: After installation, listen for any hissing sounds indicating a leak. If a leak is detected, re-tighten the tank or consult your device's manual for troubleshooting seal issues.
4. Operating
Once the CO2 tank is properly installed, your device is ready for operation. The tank provides compressed CO2 to propel projectiles.
- Usage: Operate your device according to its manufacturer's instructions. The CO2 tank will provide consistent pressure until it is depleted.
- Depletion: You will notice a decrease in projectile velocity or a complete cessation of firing when the CO2 tank is empty.
- Removal: To remove an empty tank, slowly unscrew it from the device. A small amount of residual gas may escape, which is normal. Ensure the device is unloaded before removing the tank.
5. Maintenance
JT CO2 tanks are prefilled and designed for single use. No maintenance is required for the tank itself. However, proper storage is important.
- Storage: Store unused CO2 tanks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and corrosive materials.
- Disposal: Dispose of empty CO2 tanks responsibly according to local environmental regulations. Do not refill these tanks.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your CO2 tank, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gas Leak After Installation | Tank not fully tightened; damaged O-ring/seal in device; faulty tank. | Ensure tank is fully tightened. Inspect device's O-rings/seals and replace if damaged. If tank is faulty, dispose of it safely. |
| Low or No Pressure | Tank is empty; device malfunction. | Replace with a new CO2 tank. If problem persists, consult your device's manual for troubleshooting. |
| Tank Freezing | Rapid firing or cold ambient temperatures. | Allow the tank to warm up to ambient temperature. Avoid excessive rapid firing. |
