Normal maintenance and cleaning will reduce the majority of any possible complications
with the performance of your marker. For best results we recommend cleaning your
marker after every use and replacing the o-rings after every other use. Use a damp towel
to wipe off paint, oil and any 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 WILL void your warranty. When oiling the cleaned parts
we recommend using any paintball brand paintball gun oil. 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 WILL void your warranty. In order to help
you maintain your marker, We have provided these following 11 steps.
WARNING: Before conducting any maintenance, remove the air source from your
marker (Refer to ‘Unloading Your Marker’). Make sure your marker is in ‘SAFE’ mode and
your barrel has either a cover or plug inserted.
