ASSEMBLY TIPS

KEY ELEMENTS TO REMEMBER DURING ASSEMBLY.

O-Rings:

LUBRICATE ALL O-RINGS UPON INSTALLATION.

Ram Sleeve O-rings:

Always ensure all O-Rings are in good condition upon installation.

Air Barb:

Ensure fiber washer is on Air Barb base prior to installation. This will ensure a proper seal.

LPR Retaining Allen:

Use small amount of Loctite on LPR Retaining Allen when installing.

Failure to do so may result in LPR sliding off the Marker Body, causing extreme damage to
the Marker and /or possibly injuring the operator and others. A firm snug is all that is required
to maintain a secure fit.

Poppet installation:

Before installation, inspect Poppet thoroughly. If Poppet shows signs of

excessive wear, it must be replaced in order to ensure a proper seal. Allow Poppet to slide into
the Valve when installing. Once seated, tap on Poppet end to mate Poppet with Valve. Ensure
small end of spring seats firmly on Poppet.

Valve Retaining Allen:

Use small amount of Loctite on Valve Retaining Allen when installing.

Failure to do so may result in Valve sliding within the Marker Body, causing extreme damage
to the Marker and /or possibly injuring the operator.

Eye Sensor Harness:

Ensure Harness is seated in grove provided before attaching Eye Covers.

Failure to do so may result in pinched wires and render the eyes inoperable.

Eye Covers:

Ensure Ball Detents remain aligned and in Covers upon install. Do not over tighten

the cover screws. A firm snug is all that is required to maintain a secure fit.

Feedneck:

Removal of the Feedneck may require the use of a Strap Wrench since it is firmly

attached during initial assembly. Simply wrap the Strap around the Feedneck and turn counter-
clockwise. To Reinstall simply screw the Feednack back onto the body and tighten firmly using
a Strap Wrench.

NOTE:

Once Marker is completely disassembled, carefully inspect all Screws, O-Rings, Ball Detents,

Air Barbs, Hoses, Eye Sensors, Wiring, Electronics, Battery, Regulators, and Feedneck Threads,
etc., for signs of premature or excessive wear, stripping and/or damage.

If ANY parts show signs of premature or excessive wear, stripping and/or damage, and you need
to order them, please refer to the chart on the facing page for reference. A more detailed
description of parts and/or the corresponding PART NUMBER(S) can be found in the COMPLETE
PARTS CHECKLIST located on the inside back cover of the manual. Simply call B.L.A.S.T. at the
number provided and a Customer Service Representative will assist you.

*PLEASE HAVE PART NUMBER(S) READY WHEN CALLING.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

NEVER use lightweight gun oil on Marker. Oil will destroy internals of Air Valve and O-rings.

Keep foreign obstructions out of Marker internals and Lubricate all O-rings within the Marker with a
generous coat of

Dow 55

Lubricant. The Ram requires Lubing every 5,000 rds. fired. Regulator

O-rings should be Lubed every 10,000 rds. fired. Failure to do so will reduce recovery time of
Regulators. Additionally, the Piston will wear a groove in the Regulator housing. Ensure the Pin
Valve lines up with the Cupped End on the Piston during reassembly. This will eliminate the
inadvertent bending of the pin.
