UNLOADING YOUR MARKER
ARIAKON SIM-5, SIM-5N .68 CALIBER PAINTBALL MARKER
Page 8
IMPORTANT: Paintball approved eye and face
protection must be worn at all times when handling
this or any other marker. Always make sure that
when not actively firing the marker in a paintball
game that the marker is in ‘SAFE’ mode and the
barrel plug or barrel cover is properly inserted.
CAUTION: WHEN REMOVING YOUR AIR SOURCE MAKE SURE THE
BRASS OR NICKEL PLATED VALVE IS SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE
CANISTER, ROTATES WITH THE CANISTER, AND DOES NOT UNSCREW
FROM THE CANISTER. THE CANISTER SHOULD UNSCREW FROM THE
PAINTBALL MARKER IN ABOUT THREE OR FOUR FULL TURNS; IF YOU
FINISH THE FOURTH FULL TURN AND THE CANISTER IS NOT UN-
SCREWED FROM THE PAINTBALL MARKER, STOP. TAKE IT TO A
PROFESSIONAL. ANY FILLING, MODIFICATIONS, OR REPAIR TO YOUR
CANISTER SHOULD BE PERFOMED BY A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL.
1) First make sure your marker is set in ‘SAFE’ mode and your
barrel cover, or plug, is properly installed.
2) To unload your marker remove the ammo box completely or
empty it so it is free of paintballs. Then point the marker in a
safe direction, remove the barrel cover, take the marker out of
’SAFE’ mode and fire several times to be sure there are no
paintballs lodged in the chamber, then immediately return the
marker to ‘SAFE’ mode and replace the barrel cover.
3) To remove a charged air source turn the cylinder
approximately ¾ of a turn counterclockwise. This allows the
tank pin valve to close so that no CO
2
will enter the marker.
With the barrel plug, or cover, properly installed point the
marker in a safe direction and discharge the
remaining CO
2
in the marker by pulling the trigger until the
marker stops firing. (This may take 5-6 shots). Make sure to
return your marker to safe mode when finished
discharging any remaining CO
2
.
NOTE: If your marker continues to fire after you have turned the tank
then the pin valve has not closed yet and you may need to unscrew the
tank a little further. If you turn the tank ¾ of a turn and it begins to leak
before you pull the trigger then you have turned it too far and you may
have damaged the tank o-ring.
