Quick Start
Remove the fuel cylinder (Fig. 3-14 and 3-22).
Assembly
Weigh the cylinder to determine amount of fuel
remaining. A full cylinder weighs 35 ounces
(992.25 grams). An empty cylinder weighs 17
ounces (481.95 grams). The actuating valve is a
measured shot of 2-1/2 cc per shot. Calculate
remaining shots in the cylinder [15.6 shots (or
39 cc) per ounce (28.35 grams) of weight].
Replace the fuel cylinder when 95% used, or when
the cylinder weighs approximately 18 ounces
(510.27 grams). Install new cylinder in
accordance with figure 3-22.
