d. To remove all paintballs from the Magazine, press down on the top of the Carrier
Release Armature with a flat object, and any remaining paintballs are pushed out
the top of the Magazine (Magazine parts are shown on page 13).
TIP
: For best results and to keep your TiPX marker running at peak performance, it is
recommended you use a paintball that is not too old or fragile, and is free of dimples or
defects. To determine if the paintball is proper for use with the TiPX marker, press the tip of
your fingernail against the paintball to see if it is easily dimpled. Tippmann discourages leaving
paintballs sitting in Magazines for an extended period of time, as this can lead to the paintball
becoming out of round. Only load Magazines with paintballs on the day of play.
Velocity Adjustment
Each time you play paintball, check the velocity of your paintball
marker with a chronograph (an instrument for measuring velocity)
prior to playing paintball. Verify that the marker’s velocity is set below
300 feet per second (or less if required by the playing field).
To adjust the velocity, use the 3/16” Allen wrench included with your
marker. The Velocity Adjustment Screw is located at the back of the
receiver, as shown at right. (Do not use a smaller Allen wrench and
mistakenly adjust the Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Set Screw
which is accessed through the Velocity Adjustment Set Screw - see
note below.) To reduce the velocity, turn the screw counterclockwise.
To increase the velocity, turn the screw clockwise.
NOTE: This marker has a Regulator Pressure Relief Valve that prevents excessive air/CO2
pressure that could damage your marker, and is factory set at 350 psi. If a cartridge with
excessive air/CO2 pressure is loaded, or if extreme temperature conditions cause excessive
cartridge pressure buildup, it will vent excessive gas out the access point. Adjust only as
outlined in the
Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment
instructions on page 19.
CO2 Cartridge Removal
Do not store or disassemble a marker with the CO2 cartridge (punctured or unpunctured)
installed. If your marker has an optional remote line adapter kit installed, do not remove the
CO2 cartridge until you first follow the air/CO2 cylinder removal instructions in the
Remote
WARNING
Keep exposed skin away from gas
escape points (arrows) when installing
or removing a CO2 cartridge, or if the
marker or air supply is leaking.
Compressed air, CO2, and nitrogen
gasses are very cold, and can cause
frostbite under certain conditions.
Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn
by the user and any person within range.
