If its a DYE Aero Port...they come in tewo styles...one which is just like a Pin valve, annd teh other has teh on off knob on it.

Unscrew teh knob so its oput as far as it will go, sort of...screw teh bottle in, then screw teh knob in as far as it will go, you will feel and hear teh gun gas up.

When you have finished shooting...undo teh knob, which will de gass your gun, then remove teh tank.

Fill your tank up in the usual way then screw it into the marker, use a could of drops of paintball lub like Love juice or Dye slick on the threads to help em in.

The on/off is exactly that allowin you to keep the tank on the gun while there is no pressure in the airways of the marker. If you know whick direction is on and off, usually you screw it out for off and in for on. as simple as that. When you want to remove that tank or have no air in the marker then turn the on/off to off and dry fire the remaining pressure out of the marker. Beware as there will be a couple of shots in it so can still fire a paintball.

Sory if thats to simplistic or patronising. Hope it helps. Bob

cool i got that much so but when the air bottle is in and i need to re-gass i should keep the screw in as far as it will go and just gass up. and then when i have finshed at the end of the day i should un screw it and let the air out and fire it so there is no more air lift in the gun

is that about right???? :p but at the start the screw has to be out as far as it will then go gass up the tank screw the tank in then on the on/off screw it back up ???

That's right aye, in/on when you wanna use, out/off when you don't :D
It should Purge so will drop most of the air from your lines, most markers will then purge the little bit that's left on their own if you don't like dry firing
