Pul back the OutSIde part ng) ot the Titting on the hose and insert the titing on the swing yo Jet as shown below.

Screw fitting onto tank with your hand until it’s tight. Then take an adjustable wrench, as shown below, and tighten the fitting onto the tank fairly tight. Do not tighten too tight as damage or breakage may result.
- SLOWLY turn the valve on top of the tank. The hose may move as the liquid CO2 enters the hose and makes it stif. Check for any leaks you may see as you open the valve more. If you notice leaks, turn off the valve and locate leaks. Once located contact CryoFX. When finished using, turn valve on top of tank in opposite direction as the last time you turned it so as to close the valve. Activate Cryo Jet a few more times to let the remaining CO2 in the hose out.
WARNING: Co2 Blasts cannot exceed 3 seconds in length for each blast. Two blasts cannot Occur within 5 seconds of each other. Power must be connected last as to ensure safety.
Is there a warranty on this Cryo Jet?
Yes, there is 1 year limited warranty which will cover operational and
mechanical defects only.
Can I disconnect the Cryo Jet from the hose during use?
NO, never disconnect the Cryo Jet from the hose while there is pressure in the
line or the valve is in the on position on the Co2 bottle.
Are tools needed before I use this Cryo Jet?
Yes, one crescent wrench or adjustable wrench is needed to connect the hose to
the CO, tank.
What kind of tank or bottle do I need?
You need one of two tanks. The most standard of the two tanks needed is a 50
pound high pressure Carbon Dioxide CO, siphon tube tank, also called asiphon
1ank or “Dip Tube Tank. The siphon tank has a tube that drops down the center
to the bottom of the tank to dispense the liquid CO,. Make sure you ask for a
Siphon tank as a standard CO, tank will not work. The alternative type of tank
used is a Dewar tank, which is a larger low pressure refrigerated tank
containing much more Co, but at a lower pressure of 350psi or less..
Where can I buy Carbon Dioxide, also called CO,?
You can find CO, gas at a local welding supply shop or Gas supplier (not the
gas you put in your car). AIRGAS is a national company which provides CO
How long will the tanks last?
This varies a little on the length of the hose, the length of the blasts and
the tank you are using (50 pound elfect High Pressure CO, Siphon or Low
Pressure Dewar). The average blast is 2 seconds long, so a High Pres- Sure 50
pound Siphon Tank has 1.5 min of effect and a Low Pressure Dewar Tank has
about 10 minutes of
Can CO, cool down an area?
Yes, between 20-35% depending how it is used. A solid stream is colder
directly in front than it is towards the outside of the stream of the blast.
What is a good hose length for my Cryo Jet?
The best length for the hose is between 20 feet and 30 feet. Any hose longer
than 50 feet will not work as ef feciently as a shorter hose therefore
minimizing the output of the effect.
Can I connect multiple hoses or order longer hoses?
Yes. we can custom make any sIze hose with any number of quick connect
fittings or standard fittings so you have the future option to shorten or
lengthen your hose. We can also create custom hoses for two or more Cryo Jets
to run off the same tank or one Cryo Jet to run off multiple tanks. Please
email with any inquiries.
How far or how high do the plumes (clouds) of CO, travel when exiting the
Cryo Jet?
The CO, plumes will reach at least 20 feet to 30 feet. The humidity in the air
directly affects the visibility in re- lation to length and density of the CO,
cloud. The more the humidity, the better and farther the white cloud of CO,
can be seen.
Is it dangerous to shoot the CO, directly at people?
Yes. CO, displaces oxygen therefore making it very difficult to breath in the
immediate path of the CO, plume cloud. Avoid spraying it directly at people
who are coser than 6 feet in distance. CO, is also very cold, up to -40
Degrees F. and could easily freeze skin and body parts.
