Do not re the ETHA2 without the bolt correctly installed.
!
Never put your nger or any foreign objects into the paintball feed
tube of the ETHA2.
!
Never allow pressurised gas to come into contact with any part of your body.
!
Always remove the rst stage regulator and relieve all residual gas
pressure from the ETHA2 before disassembly.
