Cleaning & Maintenance
Always wear eye protection (safety glasses) when cleaning or performing maintenance on
your TiPX marker. To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow
CO2 Cartridge
Removal
instructions on page 10 (on page 21 for markers with a Remote Line Adaptor).
Never disassemble a marker that is under pressure. Clean and lubricate your marker with
Tippmann grease after approximately 5000 shots.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions and follow warnings on CO2 cartridge and/or
air/CO2 cylinder packaging for use, handling, storage and disposal. Contact the air
/
CO2 cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
• Read and follow
Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings
and
Safety Tips
on pages 22-24.
• Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage marker O-rings. Do
not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents. Do not use any cleaning solvents
that come in aerosol cans.
• Clean your marker using a damp towel to wipe off paint, grease, and debris.
• To clean inside the barrel, turn the barrel counterclockwise and remove. Push the
cable of the squeegee through the barrel, then pull the squeegee through to remove
debris.
• To clean the breech and barrel with the Magazine removed, push the cable of the
squeegee up into the grip and out the barrel, then pull the squeegee through to
remove debris.
• Clean the Magazine with a damp towel to wipe off paint, grease, and debris. Dry
springs immediately to help prevent rusting.
• To maintain your marker in good working condition, inspect, clean, and replace
any damaged parts. Lubricate as instructed in the following
Marker Disassembly
/
Assembly
section. 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. Use Tippmann grease to lightly lubricate the
O-rings and springs, to maintain your marker in good working condition.
