XI. Regular Cleaning.
CAUTION: Always make sure you and everyone around you wears protection
when you clean the marker or check it for paintballs.
This is the cleaning I perform after every day of play.
1. Remove air source and ensure that all air has been released from the marker.
2. Remove the barrel. Spray a mix of rubbing alcohol, a little dish soap, and
water down the barrel and run a pull through squeegee down it. Finish off
with a swab.
3. Lightly spray marker down with the cleaning mix and then wipe down with a
soft terry cloth. Be careful to clean off the pump guide rods, trigger, and
anything that moves or has parts moving on it.
4. Remove bolt and clean it off. I check to see if there is wear on the bolt. The
delrin bolt can get marred when grit gets into the marker. If this is case I use
a very fine sand paper (1000 grit or above) to lightly take out these scratches.
Let this bolt dry. Do not lubricate the bolt with anything but Tri-Flow.
5. Remove cocking rod and quickly wipe down.
6. Run a pull through squeegee through the top tube, now empty, of the marker
and finish off with a swab. Use your cleaning mix if a ball was chopped.
7. If I had chopped a ball, I remove the detent and clean it. These are Spyder®
detents and can be purchased at any competent pro shop.
8. Reassemble marker.
9. Every 4-5 days of play I place 3-4 drops of KC Concepts® oil in the ASA, air
the marker up, and dry fire it 10 – 20 times to move the oil through the
marker.
Unless your marker is filthy, this is all that needs to be done after a normal day of
play. If your marker is dirtier than this, or the regulator, valve, or other portion
needs to be cleaned – no more cleaning is necessary.
