NOTE: Basic maintenance of your ARIAKONmarker is your responsibility. Your
marker will provide you with dependable performance for many games if properly
cared for. Not properly maintaining your marker could result in voiding
your warranty.
WARNING: Before conducting any maintenance, remove the air source and
magazine from your marker. Make sure there are no paintballs left in the marker (Refer
to “Unloading Your Marker). Make sure your marker is in SAFE mode.
Normal maintenance and cleaning will help reduce the majority of any
possible complications with the performance of your marker. For best results we
recommend cleaning your marker after each day of use. Use a damp towel with water
to wipe off paint, oil and debris. (Do not use any cleaning solvents such as 409
®
or
Simple Green
®
. Use of such products on your marker may cause corrosion and/or
damage the internal parts, and may also void your warranty.) When oiling the cleaned
parts we recommend using any paintball brand paintball gun oil. (The use of other
lubricants such as WD-40
®
, graphite, and oil designed for actual firearms may cause
build up and/or damage the internal parts or seals. Use of such products may also
void your warranty.)
In order to help you properly maintain your marker we have created 7 simple
steps to cleaning your marker:
1) Remove the retaining clip from the retaining pin (part# 20). Then remove the
retaining pin from the marker.
Use caution when removing the retaining pin. The velocity lug and spring guide pin will
be under pressure from the velocity spring.
2) Pull the bolt (part# 6) out from the rear of the marker. This will also cause any
remaining internal parts, that need to be cleaned, to be removed from the marker.
Clean all internal parts with a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: Your marker is equipped with a high grade Delrin bolt. Due to nature
of this material, broken paint left on the bolt for extended periods of time may be
absorbed by the bolt causing it to fail to operate properly. In addition, your Delrin bolt
does not need to be oiled. Oil will also prevent the bolt from operating properly. Never
store you marker without properly cleaning it first.
3) Use a paintball squeegee, battle swab or soft cloth to clean the upper tube of the
marker.
4) Inspect the o-ring on the striker (part# 13). If it appears damaged or discolored
from paint, replace the o-ring using a standard CO
2
bottle o-ring. We recommend
replacing the o-ring on the striker periodically to ensure optimal performance. Oil the
striker (part# 13) before reassembling the marker.
IMPORTANT: Use only paintball gun oil to lubricate the marker. DO NOT oil the bolt
(part# 6).
5) When reassembling the marker, the bolt (part# 6) and striker (part# 13) must be
positioned correctly, with the connecting pin (part# 7) inserted properly into the hole on
the top of the striker. Holding the pieces together, simultaneously insert the parts into
the rear of the marker with the o-ring end of the striker going in first.
Continue to push the parts all the way in. You will need to pull the trigger a few times
while pushing the parts in for the striker to be able to pass over the sear (part# 19).
6) Next insert the striker cushion (part# 11) into the lower tube. Then insert the
velocity spring (part# 12) into the lower tube, followed by the velocity spring guide pin
(part# 10).
7) Lastly, push the velocity lug (part# 21) into the marker until the groove lines up
with the hole for the retaining pin. Hold the velocity lug in place while inserting the
retaining pin (part# 20). Reinsert the retaining clip.

IMPORTANT: Paintball approved eye and face protection should be worn
when operating any paintball product. Make sure your barrel plug, or
barrel cover, is installed properly and always keep your marker pointed in
a safe direction away from others.
1) When finished using the marker make sure there are no paintballs
or air left in the marker. To do so, point the marker in a safe direction,
away from others, take the marker out of “safe” mode, and fire the
marker until all the air is gone. Return the marker to “safe” mode. To
ensure there are no paintballs left in the marker remove the magazine
and turn the pistol upside-down. Make sure there are no paintballs left
inside the magazine before reattaching. You may then safely remove
the CO
2
cartridge.

Storing your marker
NOTE: Proper storage of your ARIAKON
TM
paintball marker can help
cut down on the maintenance needed when bringing the marker back out
to play.
1) Before storing, make sure there are no paintballs or air left in the
marker. Do not store the marker with a CO
2
cartridge in the air
chamber. (Refer to “Unloading Your Marker”).
2) Clean and oil necessary parts before storing (Refer to “Basic Cleaning
and Maintenance”). You should store your marker in a dry area.
IMPORTANT: Do not oil the bolt (part# 6) as it is self -lubricating.
Failure to clean your marker may void the warranty.
3) When removing your marker from storage you should re-oil the striker.
