Unloading Your Marker
❏
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user
and any person within range.
T
o unload your marker:
1)
❏
Install the barrel sleeve (see page 2).
2)
❏
Empty and remove the hopper.
3)
❏
Go to a designated firing area and remove the barrel sleeve.
4)
❏
Point your marker in a safe direction and fire several times to be
sure there are no balls lodged in the chamber and / or barrel.
IMPORTANT: Do not uncock your marker as uncocking your marker
may push a ball into the chamber or down into the barrel in which case
the ball will be hidden from view.
5)
❏
Install the barrel sleeve (see page 2).
6)
❏
Visually inspect the chamber for paintballs.
Air Supply Cylinder Removal
❏
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user
and any person within range.
T
o remove a charged air supply cylinder:
1)
❏
Follow the Unloading Your Marker instructions above.
2)
❏
With the barrel sleeve installed, turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 of
a turn counterclockwise or out. This allows the air supply pin valve
to close so that no air will enter the marker.
❏
Point the marker in a
safe direction and fire the remaining gas in the marker by pulling the
trigger until the marker stops firing. This may take 4-5 shots.
• If your marker continues to fire, the tank pin valve has not closed yet
(because of the variances in tank pin valve parts, each tank varies
slightly on exactly how far it should be turned) and
❏
you will have to
turn the tank counterclockwise a little further and repeat this step
until the marker does not fire,
❏
then remove the tank.
• NOTE: If during this step - you turned the tank and it began to leak
before you pulled the trigger, the tank o-ring should be checked for
damage before reassembly.)
3)
After air tank is removed,
❏
point & fire the marker in a safe direction
until stored air is completely discharged
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling be sure to follow
❏
Unloading
Your Marker and
❏
Air Supply Cylinder Removal instructions (see above).
❏
Install barrel sleeve (see page 2).
Storage
(continued on page 16)
Cleaning & Maintenance
❏
Eye protection must be worn during disassembly / assembly.
To
reduce the chance of accidental discharge: First follow
❏
Unloading
Your Marker and
❏
Air Supply Cylinder Removal instructions on page
14 and never disassemble a marker that is under pressure or pressurize
a partially assembled paintball marker.
• Follow warnings listed on the air supply cylinder for handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder or
adaptor. Contact the air supply cylinder or adaptor manufacturer with
any questions.
• Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents.
• Do not use any cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans. NOTE:
Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage your
markers’ o-rings.
• To clean your paintball marker use a damp towel with water to wipe off
paint, oil, and debris. Use Tippmann
®
marker oil or other premium
marker oil to maintain your marker in good working condition.
• To clean inside the barrel. Depress the feed elbow lock and tip out
feed elbow . Insert metal tab of cable squeegee into breach, then
pull squeegee through barrel to remove debris.
• Inspect and lubricate the internal drive assembly parts:
❏
the front
bolt o-ring,
❏
the rear bolt o-ring,
❏
the linkage arm and
❏
the drive
spring / guide pin (see Drive Assembly Removal and Installation
instructions on pages 16 - 19).
• Inspect and lubricate the barrel o-ring and the air supply valve
o-ring with a few drops of oil.
Storage
Before storage unload and remove air supply (see page 14). Then
install Barrel Sleeve (see page 2) and put your marker in Safe Mode
(see page 4). You should store your marker in a dry area. Before
storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned and oiled (see
cleaning and maintenance on page 14) so that it does not rust. Store
Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve o-ring. To
replace a valve o-ring you must first remove the bad o-ring and then
install a new one. This o-ring is located on the tip of your air supply
valve. The best valve o-rings are made of urethane. The urethane o-
rings are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be
purchased from Tippmann
TM
or your local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If new valve o-ring does not resolve air supply leak, do not
attempt to repair air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann
TM
or your local
paintball dealer.
