OVERVIEW

FEATURES

Congratulations on your purchase of the Handheld MKII. This manual will provide an overview of the

Handheld MKII’s functions, capabilities, and instructions for proper operation. It is important to review this

manual thoroughly prior to use to ensure safe operation.

If you have questions outside the scope of this manual, feel free to contact us directly.

The Club Cannon Handheld MKII is a handheld CO2 Cannon that produces 20-30FT plumes of ice cold

fog, using liquid CO2. It is great for DJ’s, Touring acts, performers, nightclubs, DJ booths, sporting events,

ﬁeld entrances, theatre productions, weddings, special events and more.

The Club Cannon is built right here in the USA, using the highest quality components. The barrel is

machined from aerospace grade aluminum, equipped with a built in silencer, reducing the output noise

dramatically. During the tests we conducted, our silencer makes the output up to 30dB quieter than

similar products on the market.

This product includes a high pressure CO2 hose, which is equipped with a swivel ﬁtting to ensure no

tangling of the hose. The length of hose can be upgraded to suit your needs. The quick connect ﬁtting

allows you to detach the hose when not in use, which is extremely convenient. Our hoses are built

speciﬁcally to handle the high pressure and low temperature of liquid CO2.

The standard 8 foot hose is perfect for DJ booths, or any situation where the operator does not need to

travel very far away from the tank. The 15 foot hose is great for operators who need to be mobile, moving

across a stage, dance ﬂoor, etc.

SAFETY GUIDE

Carbon dioxide is known as an asphyxiant gas. Carbon dioxide poisoning has been linked

to various health issues, including central nervous system damage, permanent deterioration

of respiratory functions, suocation or even death. If you have any health concerns that may

be related to the Product’s use of carbon dioxide, consult your doctor before using any of the

Products.

• CO₂ Levels can be measured using a CO₂ Monitor.

• 5,000 PPM is the workplace exposure limit in most jurisdictions.

• Check with your local agency to verify any need for permits in your area.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To ensure safe operation, user must follow instructions closely. Necessary protocols should be followed when

handling and operating Special Eects Equipment and their respective consumables.

• Never place objects of any kind inside barrels.

• Never aim or ﬁre the products at any person or living thing.

• This product is meant to be used only in well-ventilated areas.

• Products should always be aimed overhead the audience, preventing direct contact with living things.

When using the products, always follow the safety radius displayed in this manual.

Once the product is attached to the CO₂ tanks and the tanks are turned on, the product, hoses and ﬁttings will

be under high pressure. Do not disconnect any ﬁttings or hoses until the tank has been turned o, and the

remaining gas has been cleared through the product, depleting all pressure in the system. If a leak is detected,

cease use of the product immediately. Never stand directly over or in front of the unit while under pressure. If you

are under 18, you should not be using this product. Never operate special eects equipment under the inﬂuence

of drugs or alcohol.

PREVENTING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

• CO2 Special Eects are to only to be used in well ventilated areas. Failure to do so may result in oxygen

displacement.

• Maintain a safe distance between Special Eects Products and audience, crew & event sta. Refer to the safety

radius outlined in this manual.

• Never aim Special Eects Products directly at any person or living thing.

• Always fasten tanks to avoid tipping, rocking, or being tampered with.

• When feasible, keep tanks out of direct sunlight.

• Check with ocials in local jurisdiction for any permit requirements before operating Special Eects.

NOTICE

CO₂ REQUIREMENTS

SIPHON CO₂ TANK REQUIRED.

Liquid CO₂ is the key to creating large plumes of fog. Gaseous

CO₂, which comes from a non-siphon CO₂ tank, will not create the

desired fog eect.

The siphon tube feeds the Club Cannon product liquid from the

bottom of the tank, while a standard CO₂ tank draws gas from the

top of the tank (see illustration).

If your tank is full, but not producing fog, you most likely have

the wrong type of tank. Ask your gas supplier to exchange it for

a siphon model. Once the fog starts to appear thin, your tank is

depleted of liquid. It is now time to get a reﬁll.

HUMIDITY

The eect works best in humid environments. Anytime humidity

levels are 25% or below, the fog will appear noticeably thinner.

Use the weather app on your phone to check your local humidity

level.

TEMPERATURE

To ensure reliable operation of your product, keep tanks out of

direct sunlight. Maximum tank temperature is 80 degrees F. When

the tank temperature is above 80F, the pressure increases and

can aect operation.

Where can I buy CO₂?

CO2 can be purchased from any local gas or welding supplier.

Below are 3 nationwide suppliers that likely have a branch in your

area.

Click here to ﬁnd the nearest PRAXAIR location.

Click here to ﬁnd the nearest AIRGAS location.

Failure to use a siphon tank will prevent the product from producing the desired

eect. If the product is ﬁring clear gas and not fog, this is likely the cause.

Club Cannon products (the “Product”) are meant to be used to create special eects. Any

use of these Products shall be in accordance with the Terms and Conditions presented at the

time of sale, and as they appear in this manual. Any misuse or abuse of this Product can be

extremely dangerous.

DANGER

CO₂ SETUP

Note: After use, close the valve on the CO₂ tank. Clear the remaining gas through the

product, depleting all pressure in the system. Once the product is de-pressurized,

you can safely detach the hose from the tank and product.

1. Attach the female quick connect ﬁtting on the hose, to the male

quick connect ﬁtting on the product. Pull back the sleeve and apply

slight force to mate the connectors.

2. Place the plastic washer inside the ﬁtting that connects to the tank,

then attach the ﬁtting. Tighten with the supplied tool, or any adjustable

wrench (1 1/8”).

3. Position your CO₂ tank in a nearby location. Make sure the tank is

stable, and won’t tip over. Tanks should be secured with ratcheting

straps or chain to ensure safety.

4. After attaching and tightening all ﬁttings, turn on your CO₂ tank and

check for any leaks. If a leak is present, cease use immediately and

contact Club Cannon. Trigger the unit each time you want to release

CO2.

FAILURE TO INSTALL WASHER WILL RESULT IN A LEAK

UNSTABLE TANKS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

THIS STEP MUST OCCUR BEFORE PRESSURIZING SYSTEM

Club Cannon, LLC accepts no responsibility or liability for damages or injuries

caused by misuse or abuse of the Product.

Leak from barrel

• Cease use immediately if any leaks are present.

• Contact Club Cannon directly for repair instructions.

Leak from quick connect

• Cease use immediately if any leaks are present.

• Ensure no particles or contaminates are present inside the

female quick connector.

• Check for any damage to black O-ring.

• Contact Club Cannon directly if issue persists.

Leak from tank connection

• Ensure a CO2 washer has been inserted into the brass CGA-

320 ﬁtting prior to connecting to tank. Use included attachment

tool to securely fasten connection.

Fog appears thin

• Ensure CO2 tanks have necessary siphon tube installed.

- Standard CO2 tanks do not produce the desired effect.

• Ensure tank is full, and has not previously been used, as the

liquid would likely have been depleted from previous use.

• Check relative humidity. Low humidity will have a negative

affect on the fog appearance.

Issue not listed • Contact Club Cannon directly.

No user serviceable parts inside.

If your issue is not listed, or the suggested solution did not solve the issue, contact Club Cannon.
