Pre-Show Setup

• Make sure you have a clear, open space to shoot with 150 feet between your launch site and the audience or inhabited buildings
• Have a hose, fire extinguisher, or water supply on hand in case of emergencies
• Be sure you stabilize your tube with bricks
• Keep shells in their packaging until you are ready to use, do not keep loose shells together

Using Reloadables

• Only use the tube provided with the shells, do not mix different shells with different tubes
• Make sure the arrow on the shell is pointing up
• Be sure to wear Safety Glasses and Safety Gloves when lighting
• Use a Phantom Pyro Torch, punk or extended lighter to light
• Use a flashlight at night so you can see the fuse
• Never re-use a shell that fails to light the first time, soak the shell in a bucket of water and safely dispose of the shell outdoors
• Wait a minimum of 30-45 seconds before reloading another shell in the tube
• Make sure to shake out any loose debris between another shell in the tube
• Recheck the tube's bracing before next launch

Warning

• Do not use with Alcohol
• Never ignite a shell outside of a tube
• Never attempt to take a shell apart
• Never put your head or any part of your body over a loaded tube
