Once your BT Marker is unloaded and the CO2 cylinder is removed, you
can use a damp cloth to wipe off paint, dirt and debris from the outside
of your marker. Once your Marker is clean and dry you can re-oil using a
light, premium Marker oil. Do not use any petroleum-based or aerosol
products on your marker. Petroleum-based and aerosol products can
damage your markers o-rings.

Cleaning Barrel/Breech Insert and Breech of Marker

• Pull a paintball swab, like the BT Battle Swab, through the barrel,

breech insert, and breech area to clean them.

• Clean the outside of each using a paper towel or towel, which can be

dampened with warm water.

• Visually inspect each making sure they are clean and dry.

Lubricating the Bolt/Hammer Assembly

• Remove the Bolt/Hammer Assembly by removing the Quick Release

Pin and pulling the assembly out the back of the marker. 

• Gently wipe the parts clean and inspect the O-rings for damage or

wear; replace if needed. 

• Apply one drop of premium

Marker oil to each of the O-
rings on the bolt and hammer.

• When re-installing the Bolt/

Hammer Assembly, press the
Sear Release slide forward,
which is located on the left
side of the Trigger Frame,
behind the grips (Fig. 8.1)

Replacing the 12 Gram Seal

Over time the 12 gram Seal may become worn or damaged. To replace
the seal:
•Remove the puncture pin housing assembly from the markers body as

described in the disassembly section of the manual.
