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. PMI’s new synthetic oil works the best. See
previous page for oiling instructions.
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 15 through 26, which shows the procedure for reassembly of the bolt/hammer assembly. The flush
cocking bolt reassembly procedure can be found on the following page in figures 27-38. Once it is reassembled,
hold the bolt/hammer assembly in one hand. See Figure 24. Push it gently into the marker until it stops sliding
forward, which will be about halfway into the body of the marker. See Figure 25.
2. Before it stops sliding forward, push the Sear Release Slide button forward. See Figure 25. The Sear Release Slide
button is located on the left side of the marker near the top of the left grip panel. Continue to press assembly into
marker. Pushing the button allows the bolt/hammer assembly to slide easily the
rest of the way into the marker. The sear release slide has to be pushed up on
eForce frames. See Figure 36.
3. Field strip pin must be inserted into the
left
side of the marker.
4. After reassembly, follow the procedures in this manual for adding air
system, loader, and paintballs.
