This allows the air supply pin valve to close so that no air will enter the

marker.

Point the marker in a safe direction and discharge the

remaining gas in the marker by pulling the trigger until the marker stops

firing (this may take 4-5 shots).

If your marker continues to fire, the tank

pin valve has not closed yet (the tank pin valve could be too long, because

of the variances in tank pin valve parts, each tank varies slightly on exactly

how far it should be turned) and

you will have to turn the tank

turned the tank and it began to leak before you pulled the trigger, the

tank o-ring should be checked for damage before reassembly (see

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 first 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 new valve o-

ring does not resolve air supply leak, do not attempt to repair air supply

cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer or a

“C5” Certified Airsmith.

Storage: Before storage unload and remove air supply (see pages 18-20).

Then put the trigger safety in Safe Mode (see page 4) and install the barrel

blocking device (see page 2). You should store your marker in a dry area.

Before storing your marker make sure that the marker is cleaned and oiled

(see cleaning and maintenance on page 20) so that it does not rust. Store

your marker with the bolt in the forward position, uncocked (see page 21 below).

❏

When removing your marker out of storage make sure the trigger safety

is in Safe Mode (see page 4) and the barrel blocking device is installed (see

page 2). Re-oil the rear bolt o-ring and the front bolt o-ring before use.
