To remove the magazine, press in the magazine release button, which is
located on the right side of the TM-15. While pressing the release button,
pull the magazine down and out of the body and then insert a 9-volt bat-
tery following the polarity markings on the side of the magazine. (Fig. 1.1)
The TM-15 also has a battery life
indicator. When in a firing mode
(F1, F2, and F3), if the LED flash-
es green then the battery is
good, if the LED is orange the
battery is fairly depleted and you
should change batteries soon, or
if the LED is red then the battery
should be replaced immediately.
Note: Some rechargeable batteries might be too large for the TM-15
magazine battery compartment. If they do not fit, please do not force
them into the magazine.
4. Compressed Air/Nitrogen Supply
The TM-15 is designed to work with compressed air/nitrogen only. Do not
use CO
2, as it will damage your TM-15.
Consult the Dealer where you purchased your TM-15, 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-15.
The TM-15 utilizes a fully functional regulator at the bottom of the grip
frame that doubles as an ASA (Air Source Adapter) or Receiver for a stan-
dard threaded pre-set output compressed air system. It is strongly recom-
mended that a very high-flow “low-pressure” (350–450 psi) fixed-output sys-
tem is utilized as an air source for your TM-15. Using a “high-pressure” out-
put compressed air tank is acceptable. If you are using an adjustable out-
put regulator system, the output pressure should be between 400–500 psi.
Before pressurizing your TM-15:
• 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 cover, 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-15 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-15 until you
feel completely confident with your ability to handle your TM-15 safely.
