Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve O-Ring. To replace a valve O-Ring
you must rst remove the bad O-Ring and then install a new one. This O-Ring is located
on the tip of your air supply valve. The best valve O-Rings are made of urethane. Urethane
O-Rings are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from
Tippmann
®
or your local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If a new air supply valve O-Ring does not resolve an air supply leak, do not attempt
to repair the air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer, or
a “C5” Certied Airsmith.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow Unloading Your Marker
(on page 11) and Air Supply Cylinder Removal (on page 10).
• Eye protection (such as safety glasses) must be worn.
• Read and follow air supply cylinder warnings and safety tips on pages 9-11.
• Do not disassemble a marker while it is pressurized with air.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
• Follow warnings listed on the air supply cylinder for handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder.
• Contact the air supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
• Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents.
• Do not use any cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans.
NOTE: Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage your markers’
O-Rings.
To clean your paintball marker exterior, use a damp towel to wipe off paint, oil, and debris.
To clean inside the barrel:
1. Depress the front sight and and tip out the feed elbow.
2. Insert the tab end of the squeegee into the breech end of the barrel.
3. Pull the squeegee through the barrel to remove debris and paint.
To maintain your marker in good working condition, inspect, clean, and replace any damaged
parts.
Other than to clean and oil the marker, it is unnecessary to disassemble your marker for
general maintenance.
When replacing O-Rings, remember that the best valve O-Rings are made of urethane.
Urethane O-Rings are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased
from Tippmann or your local paintball dealer. Use Certied Tippmann Marker Oil to lightly
lubricate the O-Rings and springs. Inspect and, if needed, lubricate the air supply cylinder
valve O-Ring with a few drops of oil when attaching the air supply cylinder.
