continues to fire, the cylinder’s pin valve has not closed yet. The cylinder pin valve could
be longer than usual. Because of the variances in cylinder pin valve parts, each cylinder
varies slightly on exactly how far it has to be turned. Turn the cylinder counterclockwise
a little further and repeat this step until the marker does not fire. Only then remove the
air/CO2 cylinder.
NOTE
: If during this step, you turned the air/CO2 cylinder and it began to leak before
you pulled the trigger, the cylinder O-Ring should be checked for damage before any
re-assembly (see
Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks
below).
6. After the air/CO2 cylinder is removed, again point and fire the marker in a safe direction
to verify the marker is completely discharged of gas.
7. Move the Trigger Safety to Safe mode (see page 6) and install the Barrel Blocking
Device (see page 4).
Repairing Air/CO2 Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air/CO2 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/CO2 valve. The best valve O-Rings are made of urethane. Urethane
O-Rings are not affected by high air/CO2 pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann
or your local paintball dealer. There is an extra O-Ring in the Accessory Pack that came with
your marker.
NOTE
: If a new air/CO2 valve O-Ring does not resolve an air/CO2 leak, do not attempt to
repair the air/CO2 cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer, or a
“C5” Certified Airsmith.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow the
Unloading Your
Marker
(on page 10) and
Air/CO2 Cylinder Removal
(on page 14).
• Eye protection must be worn.
• Do not disassemble a marker while it is pressurized with air.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
• Follow warnings listed on the air/CO2 cylinder for handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air/CO2 cylinder.
• Contact the air/CO2 cylinder 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 marker’s
O-Rings.
To clean the exterior of your Bravo One marker, use a damp towel to wipe off paint, grease,
and any debris.
To clean inside the barrel, depress the feed elbow lock (33) and tip out feed elbow (41). Insert
cable squeegee into the breech, then pull squeegee through the barrel to remove debris.
Storage
Ensure the Trigger Safety is in Safe mode (see page 6), and the Barrel Blocking Device is
installed (see page 4). Always unload your marker (page 10) and remove the air supply (page
14) when not using your marker. Store your marker in a dry area.
When removing your marker out of storage, make sure to keep the Trigger Safety in Safe
mode (see page 6) and keep the Barrel Blocking Device installed (see page 4).
