QEPH Installation Instructions

Thank you for your purchase of the QEPH. I think you will be pleased with its performance. The installation of this part is pretty simple.

As I'm sure you noticed, there is a new piston seal that comes with the QEPH. The seal is included because we wanted to use a seal that slid smoothly in the QEPH. This seal is a bit smaller than the seals we have used on the Lightening Rods in the past, but is the same seal being used from all of the Lightening Rods that we are currently shipping.

So if you already had the Lightening Rod, and are now getting the QEPH as the next step, I suggest removing the seal that's on your Lightening Rod, and replacing it with this new one.

If you received the QEPH and Lightening Rod at the same time, the seal on the rod is the same as the one that came with the QEPH, so you're all set.

To the install....

1. Remove the bottom plate from your Cyclone Housing by removing the 4 screws that hold the plate in place.

2. Slide off your old housing from the piston. This should leave you with the old piston housing and thumb actuator in one hand.

3. To remove the thumb actuator from your old piston housing, pull the thumb actuator all the way back out of the housing. Now grab on to the actuator rod with a pair of pliers GENTLY. Any type of pliers will do. In the other hand, take a wrench or another pair of pliers to the flatted knob at the end of the shaft. Now carefully unscrew the knob from the shaft. It should unscrew easily.

4. Once unscrewed, apply a small dab of grease or oil to the little oring that is at the end of the shaft opposite the knob. We recommend Gun Sav for doing this.

5. Drop the shaft down into the QEPH so that the threaded end comes through in order to re-install the knob.

6. Re-install the knob.

7. If needed put the included seal on the piston, do that now. If you are using the stock piston rod, then you can just use the one that comes on it stock as well. Apply a very light layer of grease to the seal on the piston rod. I recommend Gun Sav here as well. You could use paintball gun oil here if thats all you have, but Gun Sav is going to work best.

8. With your piston oring lubed up push it into the QEPH and slide the piston in and out. You are now working some of the lube on the piston into the piston. If doing this took most of the grease off your piston oring, thats ok. Just apply a little more to your piston oring. Now slide the piston down into the QEPH. Re-install the QEPH into the Cyclone Housing as normal, and put the cover back on the Cyclone.

9. GO SHOOT!!!

Thanks and I hope you enjoy it!!!
