OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Be sure the paintball marker is always pointed in a safe
direction. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT LOADING
ANY PAINTBALLS proceed several times through the operating steps with
your paintball marker (dry fire the paintball marker at a safe target) so that
you will be able to operate the marker properly and safely.
STEP 1. EYE PROTECTION: Make sure everyone within range (200
yards) is properly protected from paintball impacts.
STEP 2. PUT ON “SAFE”. Push safety from left to right; no red band
showing. Make sure barrel plug is placed securely in muzzle of marker
STEP 3. COCK: Cock marker by pulling cocking handle fully back until
locked in sear position. This marker is a semi-automatic marker, which will re-
cock itself after firing when working properly.
STEP 4. ATTACH GAS SOURCE: Marker can be used with a Brass
Eagle® constant air refillable cylinder (not Included). You should expect bet-
ter gas efficiency with a larger refillable cylinder. (RECOMMEND Brass Eagle®
9oz. refillable cylinder. Item #1471.)
ONLY USE BRASS EAGLE® CYLINDERS - All Brass Eagle® refillable cylin-
ders and markers meet ASTM standards for thread engagement. Other cylin-
ders may not meet ASTM standards and will not match your marker.
NOTE: Add 3 drops of mineral oil to the ASA adapter prior to
attaching the refillable cylinder. Check the website at:
www.brasseagle.com/service for approved lubricants.
STEP 5. LOAD PAINTBALLS:
A) Insert loader (not Included with all packaging) into ball feed port. Grip
loader from the top. Insert loader feed neck into ball feed port on the
marker. Twist and push firmly in a clockwise direction.
NOTE: The loader to ball feed port
fit is purposely tight. (RECOMMEND
Viewloader
®
,
Quantum
™
,
Revolution™ or Tripod™ multi-
capacity electronic loader)
B) Pour paintballs into loader.
NOTE: Paintballs are gravity fed
from loader to the marker each
time the trigger is pulled. Too
rapid a rate of fire, broken balls or
too many balls in loader may cause
subsequent balls to break and will
adversely affect the paintball mark-
er’s accuracy. Use a squeegee to
clean inside the paintball marker’s
barrel. (RECOMMEND Brass Eagle
®
,
Viewloader
®
or JT
®
brand .68
caliber paintballs.) Paintballs should
be stored in a cool, dry place in
sealed plastic bags. Do not subject
to freezing, excessive heat, humid-
ity or store in direct sunlight. These
conditions may cause ball breakage
and/or poor feeding.
STEP 6. Remove barrel plug and take off safe by pressing safe-
ty from right side of paintball marker until red band is showing.
STEP 7. VERIFY VELOCITY: Verify that the paintball marker’s
velocity is below 300 feet per second or less if required by
playing field. Velocity should be measured with a chronograph
prior to playing paintball. Velocity may be adjusted by turning
the velocity adjustment screw (See Fig. A) Using a 1/8” allen
key (Included) turn the screw clockwise to Increase velocity
and counter-clockwise to decrease velocity. (RECOMMEND
Viewloader® on-barrel chronograph to verify velocity. Item
#7815.)
STEP 8. FIRE: Paintball marker is now ready to fire.
WARNING: Never shoot at anyone without proper pro-
tective equipment for eyes, which must be worn at all times.
Eye protection must be designed specifically for paintball use.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in bodily
injury Including blindness and deafness.
WARNING: All paintball markers are considered to
be loaded until demonstrated to be unloaded by fol-
lowing the steps for unloading your marker.

face to remove striker.

replace. NOTE: Examine o-ring for any damage and replace if necessary.
STEP 5. Replace striker bolt assembly into receiver with sear flat down.

sure to striker bolt assembly with your finger in order to fully seat the striker.
