Air Supply Cylinder Removal
❏
Eye protection designed for
paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within range.
To remove a charged air supply cylinder, turn the cylinder approximately 3/4
of a turn counterclockwise
or out. This allows the air supply pin valve to
close so that no air will enter the marker. Point the marker in a safe direction
and fire the remaining gas in the marker by pulling the trigger until the marker
stops firing. This may take 4-5 shots.
• If your marker keeps firing after you have turned the tank 3/4 of a turn, the
tank pin valve has not closed yet and you may have to turn the tank
counterclockwise
a little further.
• If you turn the tank 3/4 of a turn and it begins to leak before you pull the
trigger you have turned it too far and may have damaged the tank o-
ring. Because of the variances in tank valve parts, each tank varies
slightly on exactly how far it should be turned. If this process does not
work the tank pin valve could be too long.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to follow
❏
Unloading
Your Marker and
❏
Air Supply Cylinder Removal instructions (see above).
❏
Install barrel sleeve (see page 2).
Cleaning & Maintenance
❏
To reduce the chance of accidental
discharge: First follow unloading and air supply removal instructions above
and never disassemble a marker that is under pressure.
• Follow warnings listed on the air supply cylinder for handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder or adaptor.
Contact the air supply cylinder or adaptor manufacturer with any questions.
• Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents.
• Do not use any cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans. NOTE: Petroleum
based products and aerosol products can damage your markers’ o-rings.
❏
Eye protection must be worn during disassembly / assembly.
• To clean your paintball marker use a damp towel with water to wipe off
paint, oil, and debris. Use Tippmann
®
marker oil or other premium marker
oil to maintain your marker in good working condition. Re-oil with a few
drops to the front bolt o-ring and rear bolt o-ring. Oil the barrel o-ring and
air supply valve o-ring.
• To clean the barrel. Depress front sight and tip out feed elbow. Insert
metal tab of cable squeegee into breach, then pull squeegee through
barrel to remove debris.
Unloading Your Marker
❏
Eye protection designed for paintball
use must be worn by the user and any person within range.
To unload your marker: 1)
❏
Install the barrel sleeve (see page 2).
2)
❏
Empty and remove the hopper. 3)
❏
Go to a designated firing
area and remove the barrel sleeve. 4)
❏
Point your marker in a safe
direction and fire several times to be sure there are no balls lodged in the
chamber and / or barrel. IMPORTANT: Do not uncock your marker as
uncocking your marker may push a ball into the chamber or down into the
barrel in which case the ball will be hidden from view. 5)
❏
Install the barrel
sleeve (see page 2). 6)
❏
Visually inspect the chamber for paintballs.
