OPERATION GUIDE / START UP
1. Always attach a barrel blocking device over the tip of the barrel for safety precautions when not shooting/playing.
2. Have the marker in the “SAFE” position before use. To operate, push the safety button from the “PUSH SAFE”
side of the trigger frame. This will position the marker in a lock safe mode. To disengage the safety button in a safely
manner, point the marker in a safe direction, and push the safety button towards the opposite side of the trigger
frame. Do not disengage safety button until step 6.
3.
Attach a CO2 / Compressed Air Tank to the C/A Adapter. HELPFUL TIP: Make sure to have the CO2 / Compressed
Air Tank filled before attaching to the marker. Hand tightens the tank clockwise in the markers C/A adapter until it is
snug. If an air leak occurs between the tank and the C/A adapter, replace the urethane O-ring.
NOTE: O-rings in the
markers parts kit are not supplied to attach with a CO2 / Compressed Air Tank. IMPORTANT: You should never need
to use any hand tool to attach a CO2 / Compressed Air Tank to the C/A adapter. (See CO2/Compressed Air Tank
Warning)
4.
Attach an elbow and paintball loader to the markers feed neck. NOTE: Small hole on the elbow must fasten to the
markers feed neck and larger hole to the loader. Elbows with adjusting screws must tighten accordingly. NOTE: Fill
your paintball loader with only .68 caliber paintballs.
5.
Cocking the marker. Pull the Top Cocking Knob rearward until the Delrin Bolt latches. CAUTION: Should you let go of
the Top Cocking Knob before it latches, your marker may fire.
6. Remove the barrel blocking device over the barrel. Now you can release the safety button. CAUTION: With the
safety button released in the FIRE position the marker is ready to shoot/play. By pulling the trigger will fire a
paintball.
IMPORTANT: Only test your marker in a safe direction or in a designated playing field.
7.
Performing a velocity (fps) check. Turning the velocity adjuster & spring guide clockwise will increase the velocity
(fps) while turning counter-clockwise will decrease the velocity (fps).
NOTE: Your marker is intended to be used in
a paintball facility with the proper paintball protection. IMPORTANT: Kingman recommends using a chronograph to
ensure that the marker’s velocity is under 300 (fps).
8. When finished playing, remove all paintballs from the paintball loader before detaching from the markers feed neck
by loosening the screws on the elbow.
CAUTION: There may be paintballs in the marker’s breach; take a couple of
shots in a safe direction to make sure the barrel and receiver are empty.

12. Store the marker in a paintball bag or in a safe place. WARNING: Before / after use of the marker, make sure to
fasten all screws. Loose screws may prevent the marker from functioning properly. HELPFUL TIP: It’s a good
practice to lubricate your marker before and after each use, especially when storing the marker for an extended
period of time. Add a few drops of paintball gun oil on the Striker O-ring (see Disassemble / Reassemble). Before
storing the marker, make sure the marker is in the safe mode, un-cocked position without air source attached, any
paintball inside the marker has been removed and with barrel blocking device on.
