WARNING
Every person within range of an area where a paintball marker is in use must wear protective goggles
and headgear specifically designed for paintball.
1. Attach threaded barrel firmly to marker.
2. At this time, do not attach power source or loader and do not load paintballs into marker.
3. Insert barrel plug firmly into barrel.
4. Pull the cocking knob straight back from the rear of the marker until
the cocking mechanism locks back in the cocked position. Figures 1
and 2. Certain Piranha models come equipped with a flush cocking
bolt. See page 27.
5. Push safety “off.” See next page.
6. Squeeze the trigger with an even pressure. The cocking knob will snap
forward into the uncocked position.
7. Attach feed tube elbow and empty loader. If the feed tube elbow is
difficult to attach, run hot water over the elbow or soak it in hot
water for one minute, which will help the elbow expand for easier
attachment.When the elbow cools, the snug fit will help the loader
remain in position. Vertical feed guns do not need an elbow.
8. Cock the marker.
WARNING
The power system contains compressed gas or air when pressurized. Never disassemble marker until removing
all gas or air from the power system. Rules for safe handling of compressed gas or air must be followed at
all times.
