8. DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Before attempting to perform any disassembly or maintenance on
your D*Fender marker, make sure that all paintballs and air sources have been
removed from the marker and that the regulator gauge reads 0 psi. Install a barrel
blocking device, move the Selector Switch to the Safe position and power
the marker Off.
Keep your D*Fender clean and lubricated to eliminate the friction that would prevent reliable
operation. It is recommended that you clean and lube the marker before each use.
Do not use oil or petroleum-based lubricants in the lubrication of this marker. Teflon or
silicon (NON-spray only) lubricants designed for use on O-Rings may be used for lubrication
for the Bolt O-rings, Bolt guide O-rings and Poppet O-ring area only. Dow 33 or the included
grease is recommended.
External Cleaning:
Use a clean cloth, dampened with water to clean the outside of the D*Fender. Do not use any
chemicals, as you may damage the protective finish.
WARNING:
Do not rinse the D*Fender under water, as you may damage the
marker’s electronics.
Disassembly Tips:
• Make sure you have a clean area to work on your marker.
• When removing parts for the first time, do so carefully, so you do not lose any.
• Make sure the Main Spring is installed correctly on the Bolt, as it needs to be installed in
the right direction.
• Visit PaintballSolutions.com for additional information.
Barrel:
Turn the Barrel counter-clock wise to unthread from the internal assembly and remove by
sliding out from the front. Use warm water and a barrel cleaning device to keep the barrel in
top condition.
Battery Door:
Press in the two Quick Release Buttons and slide the Battery Door assembly off. Make sure
the Battery Pack is re-installed correctly.
Side Covers:
WARNING:
Once the Side covers are removed the Eyes and Detents may be loose
and can fall out of the internal assembly.
Push down the quick release latch on the side of the cover and remove it by tilting the top
away from the shells.
Note: The Eyes and Ball Detents are covered with electrical tape from the factory to ensure
they stay in position. While not necessary, the tape is very helpful when re-installing
the Side Cover.
Detents:
Once the Side Cover is removed, you can access the Ball Detents. Inspect the Ball Detents
for any damage and replace if necessary. Be sure that the Detents are securely in place
when re-installing the Side Cover.
Top Rail:
Press and hold in the two Quick Release
Buttons and slide the Top Rail toward the rear
of the marker about an inch (2.5 cm) and lift
completely free (Fig 8.1).
