CAUTION
CONTENTS
• Read the entire manual before using the F4 Illustrator. • The F4 is not a toy. It can cause serious injury or death. • Wear approved eye and head protection, even when test firing. • The compressed air source used with the F4 can cause serious injury or death. • Sale or use of the F4 Illustrator is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. • The F4 is to be used only as described in this manual. • Fire only 0.68 caliber paintballs from the F4. • Check the velocity of your F4 before each use. Not to exceed 300 fps. • The F4 can fire when dropped. • Keep the F4 unloaded and unpressurized when not in use. • Install a barrel plug in the barrel when not in use. (One is included with the F4.) • Replacement barrel plugs are available from your ACI dealer. • Handle the F4 as if it is always ready to fire. It recocks during firing. • The F4 can be dangerous up to 200 yards (180 meters). • Don’t shoot at opponents closer than 20 feet. • Never shoot toward individuals not wearing approved eye and head protection. • Never disassemble the F4 while it is pressurized. • Do not touch a chilled CO2 container with bare skin; frostbite can occur. • Using the F4 while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is disregard of public safety. • Never shoot at the property of others. • Learn and follow the rules of the field where you are playing. • Always maintain control of the F4 while it is pressurized. • Never store the F4 while it is pressurized. • Two very dangerous defects require immediate attention by your dealer or qualified airsmith: 1. The air source bottle valve unscrews from the bottle. 2. The gun double fires (other than when you are running out of air). • Do not modify your gun, especially your trigger assembly.
