13. TROUBLESHOOTING
- The Super Blaster is leaking gas.
Check is the hose is connected tight enough to the horn. Try to fasten it more tightly by using a
wrench to stop the leaking.
- The CO2 bottle is leaking gas.
Check if the manual adapter is connected well to the CO2 bottle. Use a wrench to connect it more
tightly to stop the leaking. If this doesn’t solve the problem, close the CO2 bottle, make sure all gas is
removed out of the hose by activating the Super Blaster. Now disconnect the manual adapter from the
CO2 bottle and check if the rubber sealing ring is still there and if it is not damaged. Replacing the
sealing ring will stop the leakage.
- The Super Blaster XL still does not work after troubleshooting
Always contact your dealer or the MAGIC FX technical department if you have any doubts or
questions about the operation of or other issues related to the Super Blaster XL.
