Maintenance - Syringe UNLoading
WARNING: WHEN HANDLING PRESSURIZED AND LOADED DARTS EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED AT ALL TIMES. SAFETY CRITERIA MUST BE ADHERED TO.
When an un-discharged or unused dart is recovered the first step must always be to render the dart into a safe state by fitting a protection cover and releasing any remaining air pressure. The following illustrated steps should be adapted to the situation encountered.
(Darts can be removed from DAN-INJECT rifle/pistol barrels using tweezers.)

| Remove the red stabilizer from the dart. |  |
| Holding the dart vertically, depress the red plunger to release air pressure using the DAN-INJECT venting pin. |  |
| Remove the protection cap from the dart. |  |
| If using proprietary medication/drug bottles with rubberized seals, insert a plain hypodermic needle, directed away from the operator, into the seal before proceeding to the next step. This will allow excess air pressure to vent from the bottle. |  |
| Holding the dart with the needle pointing down, insert the needle into a suitable receptacle as far as possible. The silicon sleeve will slide along the needle shaft exposing the injection ports. |  |
| Hold the dart with the attached bottle. Using a DAN-INJECT coupling adapter on an air filler syringe, steadily and smoothly insert 12ml of air into the dart air chamber. The air pres- sure will slowly force the black plunger forwards and inject the drug into the bottle. |  |
| Do not store drugs or water in the dart syringes for prolonged periods. The extreme pH of most drug formulations will adversely effect the plunger and dart barrel after 3-4 weeks. | |
| Always clean the dart and needle after use. |
