M A X - FLO MICRO WARNINGS – Never use oil or hydrocarbon compounds on or in the Max-Flo Micro or its pressure cylinder. The only suitable lubricant is Dow 33 grease (SL33K or Shocker lube). The use of inappropriate lubricants may result in spontaneous ignition, explosion or oxidization. – The belleville washer spring packs and spacer used in the standard and low-output versions of the Max-Flo Micro look nearly identical and are not interchangeable. Take extreme care to never separate or mix spring/ spacer sets as a mismatch can cause abnormally high output pressures. – Do not expose cylinder or Max-Flo Micro to ambient temperatures above 110 degrees (F) or 43 degrees (C). – Never purge or fill the Max-Flo Micro in confined spaces or near open flames. Air under pressure will aid in combustion. Nitrogen in high concentrations can cause asphyxiation; therefore, adequate ventilation is required. – Vented gases at high pressure can emit high sound levels, which may cause hearing damage. Use appropriate hearing protection for all persons exposed to sound. – Never use damaged hoses or fittings. Split, torn, crushed hoses may fail in a violent manner. Inspect all hoses and fittings at regular intervals. – Never over-tighten any threads or fittings as excessive torque can cause damage which may lead to violent failure. – Do not transport pressurized gas cylinders. – Never direct pressurized gas toward your skin or any part of your body, as serious injury may result. In the case of hose, seal or burst disk failure, immediately get away from the venting gas to avoid direct exposure. – Do not use the Max-Flo Micro to blow debris around or for any purpose other than powering a paintball marker as serious injury to yourself and others may result. – Never pressurize the cylinder/system beyond its safe working pressure. – Never use incorrect safety rupture devices. In the event of rupture of the captive burst disc, the burst disc should only be replaced by a trained, certified technician. The 3000psi Max-Flo Micro has a 5000psi high pressure burst disc; the 4500psi MaxFlo Micro has a 7500psi high pressure burst disc. Use of an incorrect ©2005 SMART PARTS, INC.
