Rear Valve / Piston Cleaning
(continued on page 14)
Unloading Your Marker
Before storing or disassembling be sure to remove paintballs
and propane supply.
•
To unload your marker: remove or completely empty the
hopper. Then, point your marker in a safe direction and fire
several times to be sure there are no balls lodged in the
chamber and / or barrel.
•
Propane Supply Cylinder Removal: To remove a propane
supply cylinder, turn the cylinder counterclockwise or out.
This allows the propane supply pin valve to close so that no
propane will enter the marker. After the cylinder is removed,
point the marker in a safe direction then pump/fire several
times to make sure there is no propane left in the marker.
• Install barrel sleeve (see page 2) and put trigger safety in Safe
Mode (see instructions on page 4).
Marker / Propane Cylinder Storage
Before storage, unload paintballs and remove propane supply
(see above). Then install Barrel Sleeve (see page 2) and put
your marker in Safe Mode (see page 4). 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 below) to ensure optimum performance and long
life. Store propane cylinder as outlined in Propane Cylinder
Handling and Storage section on page 7.
When removing your marker out of storage, make sure Barrel
Sleeve is installed (see page 2) and safety is in Safe Mode
(see page 4).
Marker Cleaning and Maintenance
To reduce the chance of accidental discharge: First follow
unloading and propane supply removal instructions (above)
and never disassemble a marker that is under pressure.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled paintball marker.
• Do not disassemble a marker until it has cooled to room
temperature as internal parts may be extremely hot.
• Follow warnings listed on the propane supply cylinder for
handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on propane supply
cylinder and review the Propane Cylinder Handling and
Storage instructions on page 7.
• To clean the exterior of your paintball marker use a damp
towel with water to wipe off paint, oil, and debris. We
recommend using Tippmann
TM
marker oil or other premium

gun oil to maintain your marker in good working condition.
Re-oil when necessary.
•
Barrel Cleaning: It is important to clean the barrel whenever
you break a paintball. Residue in barrel can burn causing
smoke, more ball breakage and poor performance. It is
not necessary to remove the barrel from marker to clean it.
To clean the barrel: use the special cleaning squeegee that
came with your C3
TM
marker. Move forearm grip to the rear
position. Press squeegee button to tilt squeegee flat, then
while holding in flat position, insert squeegee completely into
barrel and release button. Pull squeegee out of barrel to
remove debris. Next insert opposite end of cleaning
squeegee to swab the barrel. Repeat as necessary.
•
Spark Plug Cleaning: If the spark plug becomes dirty or oily
it may cause the marker to misfire and may cause the
electronics to short out. To clean the Spark Plug:
1) Follow the Unloading The Marker instructions on page 12.
2) Follow the Propane Supply Cylinder Removal instructions
on page 12.
3) Follow the Disassembling the Marker instructions
beginning on page 14.
4) After you remove the Spark Plug, use a cloth to wipe it clean.
Any time the receiver is disassembled clean the Spark Plug.
•
Rear Valve / Piston Cleaning: It is important to periodically
clean the Rear Valve and Piston to maintain marker
performance. This cleaning can be performed without
extensive disassembly of the marker.
1) Complete the Unloading The Marker instructions on page 12.
2) Complete the Propane Supply Cylinder Removal instructions
on page 12.
3) With steps 1 and 2 completed proceed as follows:
a) Carefully pull the End Cap from the end of the receiver.
b) Remove the Velocity Adjustment Screw by turning it
counterclockwise with a large flat head screwdriver, then
remove the spring and buffer o-ring.
c) Pull the piston out the back of the marker.
d) Clean the piston with WD-40 and wipe clean. Inspect
the two piston o-rings for wear and replace if necessary.
e) Clean the Rear Valve internal surfaces with WD-40
and wipe clean.
f) Lubricate the Piston o-rings with Tippmann
TM
Marker oil
or other premium marker oil and insert the Piston into
the Rear Valve (closed end of piston goes in first).
