3. Battery Replacement and Life Indicator
The TM-7 requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power source.
The use of long life batteries is recommended. The battery is installed by
sliding the battery door open and replacing the 9 volt battery.
The TM-7 also has a
Battery Life indicator.
If in standard opera-
tion and the LED
flashes with a Green
color then the battery
is good, if the LED is
Orange the battery is fairly depleted and you should change battery soon,
or if the LED is Red then the battery should be replaced immediately.
Notes:
• Make sure you follow the polarity marking on the battery door.
• Some rechargeable batteries might be too large for the TM-7 battery
compartment. If they do not fit, please do not force them as this may
damage the TM-7.
4. Compressed Air/Nitrogen Supply
The TM-7 is designed to work with Compressed Air/Nitrogen Only. Do
Not use CO2, as it will damage your TM-7
Consult the place where you purchased your TM-7, or a recognized and
competent air smith, for instruction in the safe handling of compressed-air
cylinders before purchasing or connecting one to your TM-7.
The TM-7 utilizes a fully functional regulator at the bottom of the grip frame
that doubles as an ASA (Air Source Adapter) or Receiver for a standard
threaded pre-set output compressed air system. It is strongly recommend-
ed that a very high-flow “low pressure” (350-450 psi) fixed-output system
is utilized as an air source for your TM-7. Using a “high pressure” output
compressed air tank is acceptable. If you are using an adjustable output
regulator system, the output pressure should be between 350-450 psi.
Before pressurizing your TM-7:
• Check to make sure that you and anyone within range are wearing eye
protection designed specifically for paintball.
• Double check that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose
before installing your tank.
• Ensure you have a barrel plug, barrel sock or other specifically designed
barrel-blocking device in place.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the marker.
• The Power should be OFF and the Selector switch should be set to the
Safety position.
Air can now be applied, the marker will become pressurized.
Notes:
• Remember compressed air or nitrogen systems can be extremely dan-
gerous if misused or improperly handled. Use only cylinders meeting
D.O.T. or regionally defined specifications.
• Never disassemble your tank or tank regulator. Only a qualified and
trained technician should perform work on your tank and tank regulator.
• Never add any lubricants or greases into the fill adapter on your tank
regulator or into the TM-7 regulator.
5. Basic Operation
Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paint-
ball sports. Please practice each of the following steps with an unloaded
marker before attempting to charge your marker with compressed air
and paintballs.
• Do not install compressed air or load paintballs into your TM-7 until you
feel completely confident with your ability to handle your TM-7 safely.
