32 Degrees PT Xtreme Operation Manual Download Page 3

General Description and Basic Use Instructions

Included with your PT Xtreme semi-auto should be the

following items:

• PT Xtreme Semi-Auto

• Barrel

• Packet with o-rings, velocity thumb

screw, and allen wrench

• Instruction manual

The 32 Degrees PT Xtreme is almost ready to use out of

the box. All that is needed is a C02 tank, paintballs, and a

feeder, and then you are ready use your marker.

With your paintball approved goggles on and the safety

in the “safe” position, screw your C02 tank into the

constant air adapter, or for 12-gram versions, after

cocking the gun, lift the 12-gram cartridge quick

disconnect latch and install the 12-gram cartridge with

the thin end facing the back end of the marker. Be sure

to chronograph the PT Xtreme before using it.

Getting Started

Now that the goggles are on make sure your marker is in

the cocked position. Install the C02 cartridge and your PT

Xtreme is ready to fire. Make sure you chronograph your

marker before you use it. Like any other paint marker, 

maintenance is the key to keeping the PT Xtreme shoot-

ing consistently. This chapter is a basic overview of what

it takes to keep the PT Xtreme functioning properly.

If you have the bottom-line version of the PT Xtreme

you can simply screw the C02 tank into the

bottom-line C02 tank adapter.

Lubrication

: To keep your PT Xtreme’s internal

components operating smoothly, place about four

drops of oil in your gun’s C02 adapter and dry fire the

gun (after removing the barrel). This will spread the

oil throughout the gun. After cleaning your PT Xtreme

internally, lube the hammer/push strut assembly as

well--be careful not to over-oil this area.

Warning

: Some petroleum based oils can damage

your gun’s o-rings. Use only oil manufactured

specifically for paintball markers.If you expect any degree

of consistency from your PT Xtreme, you must keep it

clean internally and externally. The two external areas

you’ll need to be the most careful with are the power

feed/feed tube and the barrel. If you break a ball in the

barrel, you will lose most of your accuracy until you clean

it completely. On the field, remove the barrel and run a

pull-through squeegee through it. For a more complete

cleaning (off the field) you’ll need to clean the barrel

with warm water or barrel cleaner/treatment and

squeegee it until it is dry. A pull-through squeegee can

also be used to clean the power feed once the plug 

is removed.
