USER GUIDE
I. Now insert your new CO2 cartridge ensuring that it
is screwed fully by hand so that no thread shows. Do
not over tighten. The cartridge must be practically in
contact with the plastic of the trigger: Not tight enough
and the cartridge will not be fully pierced, inducing
slow or no inflation. Too tight and the thread of the
main plastic cylinder could be damaged.
