SAFETY
• Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve and tighten regulator nut with a wrench.
• Before opening the main CO2 cylinder valve (applicable for standard CGA-320 only), adjust the • • • •
• pressure knob by turning it counter-clockwise until it is completely off. This is indicated by the “-“ sign.
• Position yourself safely beside the cylinder that is opposite from the regulator when opening the • • • •

APPLICATION GUIDE
The Fzone Mini Regulator can be used on numerous CO2 cylinders depending on user preference.
Applications include standard CGA-320 cylinders, paintball cylinders, and 80-95g 5/8'’ threaded interface
disposable cartridges. The performance of the regulator will not change based on application.
To better understand the different applications of this regulator, refer to the diagrams provided on the
following page.
Note: The operating temperature range shall be no greater than 150° F (70°C) and no less than 0°F
(-18°C). Use 15-20 foot pounds of torque for assembly. Always leak test connections before use. If
temperature is 40°F or below, extra heat may be required to maintain tank pressure. Do not place near
extreme heat sources.
