Cyclone not turning?

Hey guys, im an apprentice at this and i opened up my tippmann A5 for the first time to clean it up,

Problem:
once everything assembled i noticed that the cyclone didnt turn( when i cocked the cocking handle and turned on the E grip and fired)  note that i did this without any air attached to the gun.

is the cyclone supposed to turn when there is no air given to it? or does it turn only when there is air?

If i remember well, when cocking the gun, the cyclone is supposed to turn once am i not right?

If it doesn't do so without air then what would be the problem?

If my question is unclear please tell me and i will reexplain, i havent slept for 24 hours and thats the best i can come up with an explanation!

CLIFFS: opened up gun, put it back, shot a couple of time with egrip on and NO AIR attached to gun, PROBLEM:cyclone not turning, is that normal?

Thnx Mack for your reply, i didnt read all the manual, but i did use the diagram to put it back on. I figured asking a pro would give me a quick and accurate answer.

thnx again
