Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve
o-ring. To replace a valve o-ring you must first remove the
bad o-ring and then install a new one. This o-ring is located
on the tip of your air supply valve. The best valve o-rings are
made of urethane. The urethane o-rings are not affected by
high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from
Tippmann
TM
or your local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If new valve o-ring does not resolve air supply leak,
do not attempt to repair air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann
Sports, LLC or your local paintball dealer.
Storage
Before storage unload and remove air supply (see page 10).
Then install Barrel Sleeve (see page 2) and put your marker
in Safe Mode (see page 4). You should store your marker
in a dry area. Before storing your marker make sure that
the marker is cleaned and oiled (see cleaning and
maintenance on page 10) so that it does not rust. Store
your marker with the bolt in the forward position, uncocked.
When removing your marker out of storage make sure Barrel
Sleeve is installed (see page 2) and safety is in Safe Mode
(see page 4). You should re-oil the rear bolt and the front
bolt o-ring before use.
