Warnings and maintenance
Do not tamper with or modify critical components such as gearbox, hop-up, inner barrel, piston head, spring guide or ETU electronics unless you are qualified: unauthorised work may impair safety, air seal and legal compliance. Do not increase the replica’s power beyond legal limits.

Store the replica dry and protected from direct sunlight and heat; avoid prolonged moisture exposure. Keep out of reach of children: not a toy.

Battery safety: compatible with batteries up to 11.1 V LiPo / LiFe / Li-ion. Use only certified batteries and Deans T-plug connectors. Insert batteries following the manual and ensure cables are intact. Do not use swollen or damaged cells. Charge with appropriate chargers and never leave charging batteries unattended. If overheating or abnormal behaviour occurs, disconnect immediately. Dispose of batteries in accordance with local hazardous waste regulations.

Removable parts: follow manufacturer instructions for disassembly and reassembly. Routine maintenance: clean the inner barrel, check hop-up and seals, lubricate gears and O-rings with airsoft-specific products, inspect bearings, gears and springs regularly and replace worn parts. For ETU configuration, use the included manual; avoid unauthorised firmware or hardware changes. For upgrades or internal repairs consult qualified technicians or authorised service centres.

End-of-life disposal: dispose of electronic components, batteries and packaging according to local regulations and RAEE rules. These warnings comply with GPSR requirements and applicable product safety legislation.
