• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO2 in a CO2 cylinder and only use
compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.
• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.
• The Air or CO2 cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least
every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air/CO2, or
if the marker or air/CO2 is leaking. Compressed air and CO2 gasses are very cold,
and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
NOTE
: Locate a “C5” certified airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp
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.
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.
Storage
Before storage, follow the
Magazine Removal, Loading, and Unloading
instructions on
page 9 and
CO2 Cartridge Removal
instructions on page 10 (on page 21 for markers with a
Remote Line Adapter installed). Do not store a marker with any of the following installed:
• 12 gram air/CO2 supply cartridge (punctured or unpunctured)
• an air/CO2 cylinder
• Magazine
Store the Magazine empty, with the Ball Carrier in its topmost position.
Put the trigger safety in Safe mode (see page 6) and install the barrel blocking device (see
page 4). You should store your marker in a dry area. Before storing your marker, make sure
that the marker is cleaned and lubricated (see
Cleaning & Maintenance
on page 12) so that
it does not rust.
When removing your marker out of storage, make sure that the trigger safety is in Safe mode
(see page 6) and the barrel blocking device is installed (see page 4).
