I just got my cyclone for my alpha black in the mail today, and I put it on
and attached everything. But how do I know that its working? Because where I live its illegal to shoot a paintball gun, and so the CO2 tank at my house isnt filled up and I dont have any paintballs. When you cock the gun and fire it, is the cyclone supposed to move? |

I believe the cyclone is air operated so you may have to fill your tank and fire off a few rounds in the garage or basement. I won't tell!  ------------- Putting the "Pain" back in Paintball |

I just put on the Co2 and fired a couple times, and the cyclone didnt move.
What should I do? |

make sure the lines are hooked up properly and watch the cyclone carfully. You may be blinking too long to see it If not that take it to a proshop and see if they can pinpoint the problem if you still cant. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Try marking the paddles to see if they move. ------------- Putting the "Pain" back in Paintball |

Unhook the tube from the fitting on the cyclone and fire the marker. Make sure there is air coming out of it. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

| There is air coming out of it. So what does that mean? What should I do? |

Never mind, I just figured it out. My C02 tank was very low so there was not
enough pressure to move the cyclone. Thank you to all who helped |

when you have a full tank and it starts to run out, your cyclone wont work for the last 15 shots (give or take). -------------
