It is recommended that 100% synthetic paintball marker oil be used for lubricating the marker. Do not use any
oil aside from paintball marker oil or you run the risk of ruining the O-rings.
1. Before each insertion of the removable air source (tank or remote line) into the ASA, clean the threads and
put two drops of oil onto them.
2. After removing the bolt/hammer assembly, clean off any paint or dirt. Put 1 drop of oil onto each O-ring. See
Figure 11. Only replace the Blue Hammer O-ring (#35) with another Blue Hammer O-ring, or the marker will
not re-cock properly.
3. Before screwing the barrel onto the marker, clean the barrel threads.
4. The fastest way to oil the entire Piranha
®
is to take off the barrel; put 6 drops of oil into the ASA (#43),
screw the bottle in over the oil, and shoot the marker a dozen times without the barrel.
5. There is no need to ever oil the inside of the barrel. Oil in the barrel will decrease accuracy.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE FOR THE PIRANHA
®
1. Clean out all broken paint regularly. Do this before you oil the marker.
2. Oil marker each time you play with synthetic marker oil. Never use 3-in-1. Non-synthetic oil can contaminate
the ball detent and hammer O-ring, causing the marker not to function.
3. The fastest way to oil your Piranha is to drop 6 drops in the ASA (#43) and screw the bottle in over it.
Take the barrel off and shoot the marker a dozen times to cycle oil throughout the marker.
4. Inspect the bolt O-rings and Blue Hammer O-ring after each time you oil the marker. Make sure they are
getting oil.
5. Clean out the vertical feed, as well as the barrel. If any oil or paint is present, the marker will not shoot
accurately.
6. Never wash the bolt assembly with water unless you are going to oil them before you reassemble them.
Dry before oiling.
7. Check ball detent (#20) every 25,000 shots. Replace if it is worn or broken.
8. Never stretch hammer spring to increase velocity. This will shorten the life span of the spring.
REASSEMBLY PROCEDURE (sear release slide)
1. See Figures 12 through 24, which shows the procedure for reassembly of the bolt/hammer assembly. Once it is
reassembled, hold the bolt/hammer assembly in one hand. See Figure 20. Push it gently into the marker until it
stops sliding forward, which will be about halfway into the body of the marker. See Figure 21.
